What Are The Scariest and Saddest Nintendo Game Over Screens?

[@sandshew4158]

Love that the game over scene from DK 64 was turned in to King K. Rool's final smash

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah, nice reference...😅

[@pasqualembisceglia1989]

Damn awesome.

[@zigazav1]

Also, when that Gameover screen was turned into K. Rool's Final Smash, we actually see DK's island get destroyed by the shot. Something we don't see fully in the gameover screen the Final Smash was based on. Good on Sakurai and Nintendo to flesh-out the Final Smash more than the gameover screen of the source game showed.

[@veethebeaniest]

Shame they didn’t add the giant letters saying ‘Game Over’ to the final smash.

[@blyat8832]

It was either do that, or have him do his super he had during the boxing fight in dk64, so I'd say they chose the right option

[@D_YellowMadness]

The Luigi's Mansion one seems the darkest to me because it's not that everyone's dead. It's that everyone's trapped in a fate worse than death with no one left to save them. Especially bad because the scientist who makes the technology necessary to save them is trapped too. Truly a hopeless situation.

Its oddly haunting and I love it. SoV has some of the best presentation of the series.

[@mini_tinibrasil3429]

True, if it was a Game Over then it would mean failure, but beacuse its a The End, it gets everyone thinking "was that the end?" Like, a The End basically means the end of the game, but in Shadows of Valentina, it heavily ressembles more or a bad ending, where you failed in your mission/quest

[@TheOneGuy1111]

True, it's like the difference between a "game over" and a "bad end." One feels like a non-canon game mechanic and the other feels like an actual in-universe bad timeline.

[@pros_0143]

Like Chrono Trigger and the _"BUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE"_ game over screen. The game has no game over screen before the sad reality of that world is revealed, and then you're reminded of their destiny everytime you lose afterwards.

[@jvts8916]

For those wondering about the context of the Tingle game over, the player character only became Tingle after Uncle Rupee spoke to him about Rupeeland, a place where you can enjoy feasts, meet hot singles and not have to work or study ever again. Uncle Rupee tells him how the only way to reach it is by throwing loads and loads of rupees into his pond. He also warns Tingle that should he lose all his money in the process, he will die. The game over scene seems to be Tingle's dying dream in which he hallucinates all the things he was promised but never got on his quest. *SPOILERS* It should be pretty obvious that Uncle Rupee is scamming Tingle, but the pond was able to become a tower, so you could also be forgiven for thinking he was being genuine. But no, Rupeeland is what the world will become if Uncle Rupee becomes all powerful: a place where everyone else becomes a Tingle and has to work forever while Uncle Rupee gets all the benefits. In the true ending, the MC is blessed with the power of rupees as a reward for beating Uncle Rupee... but instead of using them for good, he uses them to indulge in everything he wanted at the start of the game.

[@zigazav1]

Fitting for Tingle to waste that money on stuff solely for himself. He's never been truly a good guy through and through. While in Majora's Mask, he's merely a map merchant with his mind not in a proper state (even at the age 35, he thinks a fairy companion will come to him at some point, leaving Tingle to have disappointed his father by chasing such a fruitless dream of gaining a fairy companion, something the Kokiri in Hyrule had going for them. Tingle in MM also has some other nonsense in his head that his father doesn't like), in Wind Waker, he's locked up in jail, and Wind Waker Link ends up busting him out of jail, only for Tingle to go to his island and slave-drive his brothers (and one who's not related to Tingle, forced to wear the typical Tingle outfit), while Tingle scams WW Link for deciphering maps for an inflated price.

In Minish Cap, right before the final boss, there's a timed enemy rush that you can actually fail. If you do, there'll be a cutscene of princess Zelda dying, which is not only unusual for a series where main character is more or less always destined to win, but also marks one of the two occurences of alternate endings in Zelda series ever (the other one being Link's Awakening).

[@kingnewcomer2029]

It really is odd how unsettling some of these game over screens in Nintendo games can be (although, Banjo-Kazooie is actually a Rare game). Metroid Prime 1's game over screen was missing. I think the first Donkey Kong Country's game over screen, and music not only represent the sign of defeat, but also some of the best game over screens, and game over fanfares of all time (I do find it pretty ironic however that the game goes from the most hilarious death fanfare to one of the most heartbreaking in an instant). Country 2, despite it being my favorite video game of all time, and its game over screen also fits the dark atmosphere, I can't help but feel its game over fanfare is slightly less creepy compared to its predecessor, and successor, though, I think it does still somewhat fit. Country 3's game over screen, and music matches the scary tone as well, you can even mess around with the letters (though, you can't mess around with the letters in the 2005 Game Boy Advance remake for some reason. The fanfare's even less creepier than DKC2's fanfare, and is much shorter too). DK64's game over movie, and music is on a whole other level of tension, and trauma, and in the Mystery Mode on the Theatre section the Blast-O-Matic scene is several seconds longer, and the rest of the fanfare plays out.

[@KTChamberlain]

I'm surprised Majora's Mask didn't make it onto the video. It was both scary and sad, especially with that iconic line, "You've met with a terrible fate."

Super Paper Mario has a ton of forced game over sequences if you know where to look. The ones I remember are: 1. Refuse to find the Pure Hearts in the Prologue. 2. Let Mimi catch you while she's invincible in Chpt.2. 3. Refuse to put the space helmet on in Chpt.4. Tippi even calls you stupid right before you die.😂 4. Refuse to help Queen Jaydes find Luvbi in Chpt.7. 5. Accept to help Dimentio defeat Count Bleck and take control of the Chaos Heart. Tippi again calls you stupid and straight up abandons you before Dimentio brainwashes you with Floro Sprouts.😅 It's actually kind of amazing that literally being in the blast zone of an obliterated world isn't one of these.

[@dreemurrdelm7865]

It truly is amazing, considering that actually happens in the game. In one chapter the world straight up gets annihilated right before your eyes.. If I remember correctly shortly thereafter in the wake of sadness you are murdered by a clown and sent to the underworld. Apparently it's only a game over is Mario literally gives up the quest, because even being murdered in cold blood won't stop him. Anyways I guess it was a game over for me because I stopped playing at that point in shock because omg AN ENTIRE DYNASTY IS DEAD, AND MARIO. I had enough problems as a kid guilt tripping myself over things I had no power over, the game certainly did not help my mental state.

[@HCraftYT]

There is another one I can’t remember which paper Mario game it was but if you choose to help Peach when she is evil, she basically takes over the world and it’s game over which was shown in the video.

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah...

[@happypasta6]

What even worse about Banjo-Kazzioe’s game over you also get it for saving and quitting the game as it is taken literally as if Banjo himself quit!

[@YourCrazyDolphin]

Same goes for DK 64!

[@Antonio-is2cn]

The original rage quit!

[@zigazav1]

Banjo Kazooie and DK 64 triggering the gameover screen when saving and quitting, is likely due to Rare running out of memory space for the N64 cart, to the point they couldn't program an entire saving a quitting segment, so, as a work-around, the game over is triggered to save memory space on the cart for saving and quitting

[@pinkiemeowstic89]

There's also what happens when you don't complete the final phase of the Octo Expansion's escape sequence. It's not as in depth as most of the ones shown here, but it could definitely tug at a few heartstrings.

[@zigazav1]

It was so dark and disturbing I mashed through it each time I failed the final "battle" of Octo Expansion. However, what gave me the determination to pull through that, no matter how much I failed and no matter how bad my body irl felt during the final "battle", was Off the Hook's "Fly Octo Fly", that song is so strong, it gave me the power and endurance to see it to the true end

[@rainbowsylvie16]

i think losing anywhere in the escape phase is a bit dark, since i recall it being confirmed that you're not just splatted, you actually die there, making the other characters crying out for agent 8 when it happens just that much sadder, but i can definitely see where you're coming from with the final part, since you see inkopolis getting blasted by that ooze

[@Cosmic76Guardian]

It's oddly that it doesn't show the DK Island gets blown up in Donkey Country 64, but they did show it in SSBU for King K Rool's final smash.

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah, most likey, because of censor...

Metroid prime easily takes the cake, looks like something tat would come out of a sci-fi horror game

[@Azureblue25]

I feel like the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Game Over should’ve been shown, especially since the soundtrack of it makes it sound so devastating when you die. It’s almost sad in some ways. And also, I would say the Super Mario 64 Game Over is creepy for some people. Well especially for people who played the game back then in their childhood.

[@nintendoboy3605]

I feel it just relies on creepy imagery without implying/showing something bad happened. That can be scary but they would have to put in work for it to scare me and even then I am always gonna prefer game over screens like DK64 and Banjo

Dread basically recreates the game over scene from metroid Zero mission (which is fine by me because I love zero mission) but I feel you I wish Dread used something original and creepy

[@HaxHaunter]

@@GamersUniteYT that's Dread's normal game over scene. the EMMI game over scene is different. its basically an EMMI catching Samus and literally drilling Samus's neck

[@GamersUniteYT]

@@HaxHaunter wait what are you serious

[@zigazav1]

@@GamersUniteYT They are serious, if you get caught by an EMMI at any point of Metroid Dread, the EMMI is heavily implied to have drilled through Samus fatally, to steal her Metroid DNA, something Raven Beak wanted from Samus, since besides her, Metroids are entirely extinct, because Samus killed them all. Which turned out to be a bad thing, as it left the X Parasites to have no predator to hold them back. If you happen to not know what I mean by Samus being a Metroid, play through the beginning of Metroid Fusion, it explains why.

[@latexu95]

4:56 This cutscene actually plays when you just quit the game normally, so it's a little ambiguous if it is really a game over, since in Donkey Kong 64 you have unlimited lives anyway. This was also done in Banjo-Tooie, where the text "Game Over" appears when you quit the game. So, is this a kind of way from Rare to encourage you to keep playing, so that you won't have to see the "Game Over" screen?🤔

[@veethebeaniest]

personally the most creepy game over screens from nintendo these days are metroid prime trilogy and Luigi's mansion 3, the developers knows exactly how to transmit a high fear factor in their games

[@nintendoboy3605]

Which is ironic because well its Nintendo. This got me thinking what if Nintendo made a horror game. They probably won't cause they want to keep their family friendly image but if they did then it would likely genuinely scare a lot of people because when Nintendo tries to be scary They Succeed.
