I really hate these super guides because when they show up it feels like the game is saying, "Oh, you really suck at this game, but that's okay! I'll hold your hand through the rest of the level so you don't lose anymore lives!" It really just feels like an insult to the player and just takes away the challenge aspect of some games if they are willing to do it for you.
I concur. It's worse than those No Shit Sherlock hints games give you. The most painful facepalms I've had with those have been in Castlevania: LoS when the game told me that "Falling down to a pit kills you" and "Touching lava will hurt you". Regarding those hints, it's even more annoying if an NPC keeps telling you them.
