Water levels were a pain for me too. But moreso than that were rising lava/chemical/random burning shit levels that were the bane of platformers of yonder. I just couldn't stand them. I like playing games at my own pace, and forcing me to go crazy and jump frantically was the worst thing I could deal with. Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man II (sort of.. Quick Man I choose you!), and a number other I can't think of are all culprits to this hellish choice.
