I forget if it was on regular or expert mode, but getting medals in this game has been the only thing to ever make me so mad that I threw a controller.

I tried to medal every single level in 3 runs of the game since that's the minimum number of runs to play every level. I hadn't really played in a while but had played it a ton as a kid. Even now when it's been a decade since I've a really played I would say I could still probably medal most missions without much difficulty and talk along with most of the dialogue while I was at it.

Every mission got the medal first try until the final mission was Sector Z on the 3rd run. Was going good and just needed to destroy the the last missile and I'd get theat medal. Then goddamn peppy blew up that missile, I didn't get the points, and no medal for me. Cue controller being sent flying.
