Underwater Levels
I can't stand them.
Not because of the controls (although those are often an issue), but because I'm terrified of them. Even if nothing in the water can possibly harm you, I can't stand it. And when things in the water can harm you, it's worse. Especially if you can also drown. With wonderful things like the eel in Super Mario 64. Or the fish in Serious Sam.

I know the feel, Saigyoujimon.
I was playing Sonic Adventure 2 the other day and I was trying to get one of Knuckles' upgrades. Ironically, that upgrade was the Air Necklace, which lets him breath underwater. But to get it, you have to dodge spinning doom balls and ghosts while at the same time near drowning. You need to get the Air Necklace at this point or you will drown and have to start all over.
Maybe you have to investigate a sunken city or something, and you just have your scuba gear, some flash light on your gear that you can turn on and off, and some harpoon or spear or something.
Croc: Legend of the Gobos prided itself over the few water levels it had. They were just meh though but at least you could attack underwater.
Once was a coal pit, but now it's a water ride,
Makes you wanna sit back, enjoy your life,
And do things you like doing, get to shine.
It sure beats fighting with the foes all the time,
But I gotta do it, they always stay out of line,
Sometimes I wanna just chill and land,
But I'm the protector of the Emeralds and gems.
Staying up a duct, I'm in a deep cut,
I'm seeing skulls that burn, they trying to cut me off,
Avoiding my luck, I'm feeling kinda stuck,
I'm in narrow hallways running like it's a ballgame.
Hand track, beat track, all lead to different hallways,
In a maze, and I don't know what to do,
Guaranteed though, Imm'l find the Emeralds,
They don't call me Knuckles for nothing, I can't lose.

Don't call me Knuckles, gimme da bucks.
Cave Story's water level was terrible.
Sonic 3's water level was tolerable, but only because it wasn't Sonic 2's water levels.
And the Water Temple wasn't hard as much as it was completely horrible level design.
DID I JUST BLOW YOUR MIND?
If you can survive that game, water levels will no longer terrify you.
HATE.
WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THE DOLPHIN FURRY. WHY.

The water area in Circle of the Moon is okay, but not really much of a water level as a platforming level set in extraordinarily, hugely, insanely spacious sewers.
The water part of the cave in Harmony of Dissonance...well you're not supposed to survive it so you end up dispelling it anyway.
The water caverns area in Symphony of the Night has one of the game's best music tracks. Very, very cool jazzy theme. The caverns themselves shine quite beautifully.
Portrait of Ruin had a partial water level but I don't remember it.
Order of Ecclesia's two water areas were a bit tedious. Especially with all the respawning Gelsos.
On the other hand, water levels in the pre-castletroid games tend to be annoying. Super drowning skills and all that.
Oh God I was so pissed when I found out that you could stop the water from hurting you if you have the item from fighting Death first. I did that whole part without it.
Stop talking about that game or I am going to ban you.
* It has two water areas.
* They may be tedious.
* Some parts may contain respawning creatures that are named after Gelzo.
Metroid Prime again delivers high-quality atmospherics in the crashed frigate area. Its background music track is really, really serene and beautiful.
