Timers are only a sin when there is just barely enough time to complete a stage. See Castlevania Chronicles because it's a shit port made by an incompetent producer (Iga), or the final stage of Ninja Gaiden 3

The concept of arcade-style games is not a gaming sin, what the actual fuck is wrong with you?

If you die right at the beggining the game gives you more time. At least in the japanese version.

Passwords only save your progress, so you have to grind lives, money and ammo from scratch.

Skyrim figured out how to do this right with the min-max enemy level. Too bad no other game copied them.

In Super Castlevania 4, Dracula's death and picking up the orb takes about 20 seconds, but the timer keeps running when he's dead.

Scaling enemy strength is always cancer. The way to do it right is have enemies get progressively stronger through the game but incentivize you to go back to old areas by letting low level enemies drop items that are crucial but not dropped by stronger enemies, and/or adding new enemies to old areas.

>"platforming level design" is basically just small, thin islands you have to precision jump onto. Oh and to make things even better, we have a constant barrage of shit being thrown at you and if you get hit you get sucked into the nearest instant death hole. Meaning you get sent forward even if you get hit from the front.
Every developer who did this shit is a stupid nigger who deserved to lose their jobs. I am looking at you Konami.

What would be even better is if the final boss character isn't watered down but is just extremely hard to play.

This so much. Its like "Maybe I will peak around the corner, and if it goes on a long way, I will check the other path for loot," then a giant gate shuts behind you and now you either reload for a maybe or just never know.

Passwords that only account for stages up to a number such that a significant part of the game has to be done in one go.
Every single Mega Man game on the NES (bar 1, which does not have any passwords) does this. I don't give a damn and use save states on level completion/game over screens (or at the beginning of the next stage) once I get to that point.
