Congratulations! Time to celebrate!
Have you done the same thing, or even played Super Monkey Ball? I'm just curious. (Oh yeah, whoever says Expert 7 is the hardest is completely off their rocker.)

For me, I think one of my favorite times must have been playing Starcraft II, 2v2, and when I said glhf, one of the opponents was a dick and said f- you. Well, they rushed us and killed my partner, he left the game and I got control over his units. I came back and won 1v2. It was pretty exciting.
That completely flew over my head...

Beating Ninja Gaiden 1 - 3. I had to completely turn off the "rage quit" impulse, and allow myself to die hundreds (thousands?) of times without blinking an eye---and it worked. I beat 'em.
I don't own Ninja Gaiden 3, and I've never actually beat 1 and 2, I've just gotten to the final boss and given up.
That was a while ago though, and I wasn't as determined to beat those games as I have been with some others, like Super Monkey Ball.

beating Castlevania on the NES
Yeah, I've done that too. The game isn't
too hard, aside for the grim reaper which I only passed by having the "III" item and the holy water. (I always thought it was a Molotov cocktail or something until someone told me otherwise.
)

Speaking of the Ninja Gaiden games. I've always found the first game to be by far the easiest, and I used to speedrun it as a kid
The thing that makes that game difficult are the few ridiculous jumps that are just about only possible to pass with a powerup, (like the one the AVGN covered) and the final boss.

Also got a crazy high score in Tetris once...I can't remember what it was (25 years ago), but none of my friends got even 1/4 as high.
Yeah, I'm not too good at Tetris. I think the highest I ever got was level 15 (I don't memorize score).

I reached Rat Race on Battletoads honestly
I actually just got Battletoads for myself for Christmas, although I haven't actually played it yet. I really just want to see what makes the "Turbo Tunnel" so difficult, although the kind of people who say it is think Minecart Carnage on DKC is and I can just about beat that with my eyes closed.

For me it's getting
S++ on each chapter in Ikaruga. I've must of clock in over a thousand hours for that game.
Hey, that kind of reminds me of how the 3DS and Wii U have the "daily log" thing where paranoid parents can see how long their children have been playing video games.

BTW, I think the hardest part about Mega Man 1 is the fact that the floating platforms in Dr. Wily stage 1 don't (seem to) move in a set pattern and can create situations in which you are guaranteed to die or could theoretically never create a situation that allows you to pass.
You have the Magnet Beam though.

I'm pretty sure a computer can't truly create a random number.
It can't. I really don't see how any thing in life could possibly be "random". Things only appear to be random because not all the factors affecting it are known, or something like that.
You know, another game I just recently got that is on the verge of impossible is F-Zero GX. (I can usually come in first if I don't fall off the edge...) And it's made by the same people as Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2. (I heard Sega had more to do with the development of F-Zero GX than Nintendo who just owned the franchise, kind of like Donkey Kong Country and Rare except not quite that much.)
