Topic: Levels you've skipped

What levels have you skipped, typically out of frustration?

For me, I always, always skip the "evil sun" level in Super Mario Bros. 3 desert world. How, you ask? I use the P-wing, of course!

I also just now skipped a the first level of the upper bridge in Super Mario World.

I do try several times before skipping them. If I feel guilty enough, I go back and try beating them legitimately.

Lol, after 100%ing smb3, I don't think I ever played the final fortress(not bowser's castle) again.

I've been skipping to the Friend Like Me level in Aladdin for the SNES. The escape from the Cave of Wonders level is very unfair.

I didn't skip any levels to be honest. At least not in any Mario games.

I skipped most of the original Super Mario Bros using the warp pipes...

I've done that only when I have to do the entire world again after I lose to false Bowser.

I try not to skip levels. But apart from Mario there were few games I played where this was even possible.
I remember World of Goo had a level skip system, but I didn't want to use it because I didn't need it.
And my newest Wii U addition, Puddle, has a skip feature as well, but I want to try and beat all levels anyway.

A skip system is either for the not-so-good gamers to make some progress in the harder stages,
or is an indicator for unbalanced difficulty design, because a fair question would be "why should I skip this early stage? Are the later ones going to be easier?" But to be honest, many games have a "tricky midway nemesis" stage. When levelskip is used in the right games it could ease the frustration.
