Now fighting the Technodrome is something that always makes me sweat, as well as getting passed those damn Jetpack guys in the long Hallway before you own Shredder.

No. There's intentional challenge, and then there's being hard purely by virtue of sh*tty level design. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the latter. For evidence, I give you a building in level three in which you often climb a ladder only to be instantly, and unavoidably, charbroiled by a robot enemie's flames, knocking you back down to the lower floor. There is absolutely nothing you can do about this except leave and hope it loads a different set of enemies. That just makes me want to cry.

Then there are the flying enemies that come out of nowhere to make you fall to your death mid-jump. Yes, you can destroy them if you've memorized their appearence, but when the only way to avoid an obstacle is by remembering where it killed you the first time, the game isn't doing its job. That's not skill. That's f*cking trial and error.

Or the spot in in level two, where you slog through a room of enemies and are forced to make a precision jump (good luck) to a ladder, and failure to do so sends you back through the entire room of re-spawning enemies. To this day, for every one time I make that jump, I fail five more. It's not difficult, it's just irritating to have to kill those enemies over and over and over...

And defusing the dam bombs... Granted, it's not as hard as people say. There are later levels that put it to shame. And it's actually difficult by design rather than developer carelessness. However, I defy anyone to smoothly and accurately move through the pink seaweed on a regular basis.
