Really long levels

Endgame and postgame Pokémon Mystery Dungeon content is interminable and not very fun because of it imo.

Map 25 of TNT: Evilution, Baron's Den.
Long, convoluted, confusing, and doesn't know when to end.

Sonic Heroes became a marathon. Other than the 3 characters thing it was honestly the length of those levels as a Sonic level on why I didn't like it.
It's gotten worse with later entries. The length of some of the levels in The Force Awakens is why I just dropped that game, it's not great gameplay and feels like you need a partner to really enjoy things.

FFXV's chapter 13 was long, but that optional 99-floor secret dungeon filled with Tonberries is my pick for this.
So fucking true... best dungeon.

Almost every level in Wonderful 101.
Xenogears:

I don't remember this being as bad as promised. I played Xeno for the first time a couple years ago and was expecting to dread this level...but I ended up loving it.

then you yt it outta curiosity and see some dude clearing it in 2 minutes.
Kanji's sauna in P4
Other levels were probably bigger but damn if the sauna didnt felt like a massive slog
Some of the victory roads (or victory road equivalent) in pokemon are also ridiculously massive if you go for all the items
pandemonium in FF2 (or was it the crystal tower in FFIII?) was too long for its own good too

Lufia 2's Ancient Shrine. 3-4 hours each try, and you'll probably fail it multiple times and have to start over
This. Goddamn those levels are so unnecessarily long. Still a fun game tho.
It's the first thing I thought of. But honestly, I love every second of it.

It's a nice little ending gift. But damn is it hard to get through without getting 100% game over infection.
Also, .hack GU's Forest of Pain in Vol. 3 would be fitting as well. 100 floors with bosses mixed in.

Relative to the rest of the game, Metal Slug 3 and 6's final levels are about half of their respective games length.
For a really long level though, I'd have to mention the Tower level from Phantasy Star Zero. It's so long, you have to lower your brightness and start from a full charge if you plan on beating on the go. Oh and it has to be done all in one go.

Beating Dalamadur solo in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. You get 50 minutes, and you'll need those 50 minutes if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
I didn't even attempt Gogmazios solo. Dude is just way too tanky and I can't even imagine the thought of running out of time and wasting 50 minutes of my life.
These might not be as long as some levels in this thread, but they're boss fights. Boss fights clearly meant for a group of players, not just one.

They are shorter, and a lot shittier.

The Great Maze in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary was a pretty long endeavor.
The Island chapters of RE4 slogged on and felt like they were padded with tons of filler. Aside from a fight with Krauser and that one boss that looked like something out of The Thing, it was pretty uninteresting until you get to the lab.
EDIT: and the vehicle sections of Half-Life 2

Every level in Sonic Heroes, they never fucking end and it's all padding. To this day I'm still angry about one of the last levels on some airships, after like 15-20 mins of misery it decides what you need to round things off is a series of tiny floating platforms that each have a huge armoured hammer enemy whose swing radius is larger than the platform. Why?
Yeah, the first Killzone had levels with 1+ hours. Luckily the check points were good.
Love that game though.
I've yet to play GU but I'm curious about it.
I always got the infection game over and really wanted to see the ending. I guess at this point u can look it up. It was too tough for me. Almost want to give it another shot though
Definitely. What a slog.

Edit: Actually I think that fight was a one time thing. You might actually have to DD everything. So it's luck with infection, plus some monsters weren't Data bugs (so magic gate luck on monster spawns)

I thought this on my first playthrough but on later ones, it's much shorter. I mean
the last quest involves nothing but reading a Black Book and flying to the final boss. It's over in no time.

Came here to post this, it's one of the worst and longest/drawn out things I've ever done in gaming.
Turned me from a massive fan of the game into a complete hater over the course of one horrible level; so long....so bad.

Is slog the new word that all the kids are using these days?
Probably kingdom hearts 1 final boss

The fucking airboat. I figured that would be the first post. It just goes on, and on, and on...
