A friend gave me his old Super Nintendo for Christmas a few years ago and the only controller that came with it had a broken D-pad. It actually worked alright except for the right side of it, which would have been fine if the only game he gave me with it wasn't Yoshi's Island. I kind of needed that button to move, dammit!

I finally figured out that if I pressed really hard I could progress the game, but after a few levels I decided carpal tunnel wasn't worth it.
