Love that the game over scene from DK 64 was turned in to King K. Rool's final smash
Yeah, nice reference...😅
Damn awesome.
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.
Shame they didn’t add the giant letters saying ‘Game Over’ to the final smash.
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
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.
And then King Boo looks at the fourth wall sinisterly, like he’s practically saying “You’re next…” to the players
The best one in my opinion is King k rool going HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@princesspixel3151 Creppy not? Its even scary than the .exe games...
How to get the game over screen:
Step 1: get the files of the beta game somehow.
Step 2: play the game:
Step 3: u will see a timer in the game, let it go to a certain time.
Step 4: congratulations u got the game over screen!
Yeah...
What makes Punch-Out Wii's so horrifying?
It's PERMANENT. You'll need to delete and create a new save file to play again.
I will keep that in mind when I buy it!
It kinda makes sense for the story
Edit: This made me quite mad [or maybe I’m just bad at that genuine mode]
new edit: why is this so popular.
Yeah that does make it quite Eerie
Is just realistic and sad, but in honor of a star...Little Mac...left the ring
Makes sense, since you're RETIRING...
Honestly, little Mac retiring has to be the happiest and saddest endings in all of gaming history. Never have I almost cried hearing Doc saying his last farewell to the player😭
Same 😭
Same 2 😿😭😢
I didn't understand it
What's worst? Little Mac retiring or the voice actor of soldier's death?
@@Goofy_Content_Aware_Man This is literally the most one sided comparison ever-
Like come on, a fictional character's retirement vs the death of a voice actor?
The Banjo Kazooie and the DK64 game overs scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. Banjo's sister turning green and closing in on K-Rool's face as he's laughing freaked me out.
Ikr! Same!
Rareware Jumpscare
Banjo-Kazooie's game over didn't scare me that much (I was 13 when it came out) but I did find it kinda creepy. Grunty's transformation on the other hand...
Same omg
Me too!!!
Honestly, the part that gets me with Shadows of Valentia's Game Over isn't the mass graves. It's the fact that it says _The End_ instead of Game Over.
It makes me wonder if this was a similar situation with the original game on the famicom long ago
Its oddly haunting and I love it. SoV has some of the best presentation of the series.
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
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.
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.
The Punch-Out Wii ending isn't so much sad as it is bittersweet. Mac retired, but he retired on what was ultimately a high note - he made it to the top, he defended his title as long as he could, and he went down fighting.
That is, until Mac gets an invite to Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U.
Metroid Prime might have the most abrupt and honest portrayal of death I've ever really seen with a main character and it feels very real in a way that is extremely unsettling.
Its the creepiest out of the bunch imo
yeah just seeing her vitals drop is terrifying
The Metroid prime was just showing us Samus slowly dying and the suit showing us
@@Artorias.the_abysswalker. it’s the most creepiest but coolest at the same time
@@Sungblox true
The worst part about the Banjo Kazooie and DK64 Game Overs was that you'd get them when you Save and Quit whenever you were done playing, not just when you ran out of lives. That always freaked me out as a kid.
Yeah it's like they expect you to compete the whole game in one sitting
@@andrewjbrave1370 selfish brats.
@@andrewjbrave1370 The game becomes so easy that the game designer wants to let us know what happens when we fail
This definitely for banjo kazooie. "keep playing, OR ELSE" type of deal.
This is why I just turned off the console
3:04
Minor Correction: The "Zombie Luigi" Game Over wasn't actually a Game Over. It was simply something made for one of the trailers. I wouldn't blame anyone if they thought it was a Game Over though, since it still is pretty creepy.
No they didn’t
And yes it was a game over on the betas
@@GunnerSiIva there is no evidence that it was the game over screen for the betas since no demo or early build of the game has been available, and the only time that the Zombie Luigi has been shown was in an animation sequence in Spaceworld
@@Screenwriter318 the video u watched is proably fake bro
@@Screenwriter318 dude you smokin pot
One thing about the Zombie Luigi thing is that it was likely E3 or Spaceworld flair.
Its the E3 reveal trailer
@@Drakestophet_Sframes Yeah, most likey cut from the final game, because it was too creppy for an audience target game...
The truth is that this "game over screen" is actually part of a longer animation th-cam.com/video/xmI_h8WRhUk/w-d-xo.html
Yes. It was meant to just entice people to buy the game
Depressed Luigi, actually.
The Punch Out!!! game over is actually kind of heartwarming. Doc saying " Good Job son" put a smile on my face.
I'm surprised Majora's Mask's game over wasn't mentioned. "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" Gets me every time. Also there are some other creepy ways to die in Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask, and Ocarina of Time.
"Nintendo games are for kids"
This comment proves that statement false instantly
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.
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.
Including Zelda? Like shown in the game over screen?
@@guojames9269 that girl's attire is only a reference. She only appears as part of Uncle Rupee's publicity alongside one that vaguely looks like Hilda.
I did not know they made a Tingle game.
@@jeffdavis6657 they made three, this is the only one that made it to Europe. One's a balloon trip port and the other's a point and click that somehow manages to be the weirdest of the bunch
I love how in donkey Kong country 3 when you do get the game over you can actually keep the music playing by pressing buttons in the controller which will make those blocks continue to jump and you can play more music. it's like a game within the game over screen
That's an nice and cool Easter Egg added...😉
Banjo loses his life trying to save his sister, and her reaction is "Great, now I'm ugly. Thanks for nothing Banjo!"
Grunty bout' to make me act up 👀
@@lewdjiggle2011 yo?
Dude I'm glad I never really play the Metroid Prime games when I was younger. Seriously the game over screens include Samus' heart stopping and straight up a pool of her blood on the ground? Hot damn...
That blue stuff is blood?
@@madysonandres9571 It's Inverted of Color
@@madysonandres9571
It depends on the way she dies. That was the phazon corruption game over, so her blood turns blue due to the phazon energy. If you die to an enemy's attack instead, then you get the game over screen where the blood is red.
@@damir_van_kalaz Thanks!
Metroid IS Nintendo's least family-friendly franchise afterall. It pushes the rating boards so much with it's content being stuff you'd never see in a kid's game.
Imagine getting brutally murdered for shoplifting a single product.
Also, one creepy Game Over screen that wasn't shown here is the one at the start of "Super Paper Mario" when you refuse Merlon.
Or don’t put on the space helmet or refuse Queen Jaydes twice.
@@happypasta6
fr!
Probably the worst one from SPM, in my opinion, is if you agree to help Dimentio in Chapter 8.
There are so many ways to Game Over though.
But the refusal Gameover is pretty funny
@@Autokendo17
Sure, but just imagine being a character in "Super Paper Mario" when it happened.
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).
Don’t forget Majora’s Mask as well
It counts as an alternative game over cutscene?
What about the split timeline that occurs after Ocarina of Time? There's THREE timelines that start with that game's ending, depending on whether or not Link defeats Ganon. See Zelda wiki for details
My sister and I would play Banjo when we were young and the game over screen, honestly, it made us cry, it made us absolutely BAWL our eyes out. I remember being so scared when I'd get low on life and seeing Banjo and Kazooies icon get more and more beat up. I learned to run away from the game every time I game overed.
i had a v-smile and when you turn the console off the character of whatever game you were playing (buzz lightyear, simba, scooby doo, etc.) would say goodbye before the screen goes black. i was SO FREAKED OUT by this that i literally would make my mom turn it off for me as i ran to the other room
Yes I had the same problem as u. Told my mother to end the game for me and crying the hell out of me. Still had nightmares in my childhood..
@@heliodorable4612 i had the same with SM64DS and NSMB, when you close DS/3DS, Mario says "Goodbye!"
One time I had a dream where I was playing a random Mario game. There are lives with a character icon, and the icon was Princess Peach icon (Ig I was playing as her in that dream) Every time I lose some lives, her icon started to become scarier, and to a point where I was pretty low on lives the icon turned into a skull.
And if I am not low on lives the icon would be back to normal and not scary, so yeah.
Just note that this dream happened not very recent and a very very while back so I tried my best to explain what I remembered.
Those damn DK country game over screens. All three games were just horrifying and creepy.
Yoshis Island was another that scared me a lot growing up.
I used to get scared of the Yoshi’s island game over ;-; I guess it’s something about black dark screens that scare me
As a kid, the death sound in the GBA version of Yoshi's Island, scared me a LOT! 😱
Yoshi's story's is creepier,honestly suprised it didn't make the list
@@NobodyAnymore_. I could see hoe DKC trilogy is uncanny with the '90s CGI models. Yoshi's Island is very tame, just 'GAME OVER' written in Mario font.
Especially DKC2 which, as one commenter said, makes it look like they are inside a FURNACE.
5:57 (Seizure warning it's the "Ultimate Price" death in Zelda Link's Awakening)
_Are you sure the ultimate price is dying in the game if the screen's flashing like that...?_
Metroid Prime: Shows a crack in Samus' visor with her head tilting while a flatline plays over. Creepy
Metroid Prime 2: Literally shows her heart malfunctioning with a constant loud flatline beeping over. Terrifying
Metroid Prime 3 Regular Death: Shows her blood splattering all over her visor. Uncomfortable
Metroid Prime 3 Terminal Corruption: Phazon fully takes over Samus, turning her into another Dark Samus. Nightmare fuel
I don't like those death screens because I kinda feel like I failed samus
I would say that the Prime 2 one was scarier than the scarier than the terminal corruption gameover
if Metroid Prime 4 finally gets to release, i think it will be at the same nature as the previous ones (obviously)
@@AGAMER360 I hope it gets an AO rating.
The first one is pretty cool ill admit
Fire Emblem: We have the saddest (and slightly creepy) game over in existence!
Dr Louis: Hold my chocolate bar.
Luigi’s Mansion: Amateurs! I’m-a the creepiest!
banjo-kazooie: hold my puzzle piece
Majora’s mask: “Hahaha, you’ve all met with a terrible fate haven’t you?”
DKC2: Hold my furnace.
Dk64 hold my krool final smash
The wii punch out game over screen almost made me cry as a kid. We need another punch out on the switch tbh
@@steathlysnipes3758 same smth about doc going to the bike and ringing it kinda just sad af my dumbass self thought he died first time i saw it if i knew he retired i probably wouldnt have taken it so bad
@@teletubbiewithashotgun3284 Even though I clearly saw him retire I still thought he died. Maybe he just well you know.
Samus screaming in metroid prime is kinda terrifying and the screen just starts filling up with blood 😰
💥😫
Samus, are you okay…?!
"Nintendo is for kids"
@@BhiPho Luigi’s Mansion: Hm hm hm!
Metroid Prime: Hold our beer!
WTH??
Seeing Samus’s blood make me squeamish
I love the idea of Banjo telling Bottles that hes good to go rescue Tooty, and then immediately being done in by a carrot.
Kirby Mass Attack has a pretty sad one, it shows Kirby's ghost while this super sad music plays in this dark area
It's honestly kinda emotional haha
Yeah, at least the music is calmy as well. Also, It has an punishment for replaying the whole stage again.
Kirby bad endings are creepy, too. They really like scaring their fans, huh.
@@amandamakin1542 especially kirby 64 and star allies
@@usermcskull4713 Kirby 64 gave its fans nightmares with that 😏 face & the ominous chimes as Dark Matter did that 😏 face...
@@amandamakin1542 I love how it seems like such a happy ending, only for the Ripple Queen to have such a sinister smile for a second
The other bad endings feel wrong, this one seems mostly good until that gutpunch at the end and mmm I love it
5:58 “I wasn’t kidding when I said pay! Now you’ll pay the ultimate price!”
Player: **dies from epilepsy**
As 5 or 6 year old playing Banjo Kazooie when it first came out, I legit feared for my life that somehow grunty would curse me with the evil laugh that happens at game overs. (Even though you hear it throughout the game, it was only the game overs that actually scared me)
That's so funny I can't even blame you
Understandable, as a kid i accidentally went into a room in my Aunt's house and i found a witch doll hanging on the curtains and i feared it would become a real witch and eat me.
@@vipahxxx7640man i can imagine a creepypasta story based around the witch doll that came to life after you get a game over in the first banjo kazooie
@@Mr.Feather130 that'd be sick!
@@vipahxxx7640 yeah especially there's going to be some lore implication about that witch doll
3:17 Actually, I think that's more like the intended ending of Wii's Punch-Out, because in the last part of the Career mode (Mac's Last Stand) you keep doing title defense matches until you lose three times.🥊
Does have anything to do with the ending cutscene?
@@IvanFranco120 No, in my research at least.
The Punch Out Wii Bad Ending.
@@jumpb0mb What other endings does it have?😅
The people that want to know the context of Punch out wii is that if you defeat everyone Contender and Title defense mode, Mac wants to retire but he cant till he loses 3 times, thats where Mac Last stand starts, and if you lose 3 times, mac gets what he wanted. Retirement.
Perhaps after that he went down a similar path to Doc Louis.
Is no one going to talk about that scene in Pikmin?? They literally saw Olimar die, dragged Olimar's corpse and planted in on the floor while watching it grow a plant on its head and everything with a happy song.
Edit: I didn't even realize how the machine severs his head! WTF
That's what I was thinking. I was like, what the f*** did those pimmin just do to him?
I thought the machine beheaded olimar and tried to make him into a pikmin
The machine is called an Onion (basically a Pikmin mothership)
And it’s all come full circle with Pikmin 4.
The Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter original ending still hits hard. Like the game had to be recalled with a more innocent ending.
I had the copy with the original ending and I practically had an out of body experience.
I love the drawn to life 1 and 2 games for the ds.
@@sunswift I think i only have played the first game, long ago...
what's the original ending?
@@Yoru_Nin
So the reason the first two games exist, why Mike is the only human, and one of the villagers has a darkened face is because...
OG: Mike is in a coma after his family got in a car accident. His parents are dead and his sister's face is messed up. The DTL world is Mike's coma induced limbo between life and death as his sister is praying for his recovery. Our player character that goes on this quest to restore the world is JESUS HIMSELF. Our drawn Hero is JESUS. By winning the game, Mark wakes up to remember the wreck and return to his sister in the hospital.
Ver2: Mike is a silly boy that fell out of a tree during the family picnic and this was all a dream. But why did one of the villagers have a half darken face? IT WAS ALL A DREAM.
OH wow the first one is really dark 😭 thank you for telling me!
Honestly,from the metroid games shown here i think metroid could have an actual virtual reality version
The third Donkey Kong Land's game over screen is actually less creepy than the previous two. 64, however, has a screen rivaling that bad with Banjoo-Kazooie
Donkey Kong Country*
Those game over screens scared my face off the first time I saw them
Luigi's mansion 3's game over screen is terrifying,imagine being Yoshi and waiting for the one you took care of when he was a child and his friends to come back from vacation,but they never do.
Yoshi would be really lonely without his best friends.. just depressed in darkness.. and dies because of depression.. King Boo succssed his Ultimate Goal to capture Luigi and Mario or even Peach! Even Bowser didn’t stood a chance as well..
There is one missing.
The moon crashing and extinguishing humanity from Majora‘s Mask.
You really didn’t put Majoras mask. Link and Termina literally get obliterated by the moon.
Yeah, I thought this scene would be in the top too.
Dying in lava or quicksand in Twilight Princess I think is pretty creepy too.
Yes, but it’s not a Game Over, as you just restart from the first day.
@@astralshadow6193 true
@@astralshadow6193 it’s literally a game over though. You run out of the time and the moon falls. GAME OVER. Sure you restart but it’s like that for every game when you get a game over.
@@Amw-gb1is you don’t get the traditional Game Over screen, though.
Okay ngl that Punch Out!! ending really got me sad, because it relates to real life so much that it's almost like the entire story between Little Mac and Doc Louis was real life history.
Nintendo: "So you plan to make a creepy game over screen, hemmm, to what extent?"
Rare studios: "Yes"
*As creppy as posible*
Tbh I don’t think it’s that scary
9:39 This death has D&D energy. This feels like something that would happen and has happened in a D&D game.
What is an D&D?
@@IvanFranco120 dungeons and dragons
@@IvanFranco120 good lord
@@IvanFranco120diks n's dawgs
isn't d&d some nerdy board game where nobody dies and everything is happy
I'm not going to lie the Metroid one scared the shit out of me I was just rolling around in morph ball mode then Samus just exploded and screamed in agony then turn into dark Samus I had no idea what happened
she got dizzy
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.
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.
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. There is also a game over if you let Peach turn you into origami in The Origami King. Those are two that I can remember.
Wait Spider Mimi doesn’t just damage you while she’s on your tail? There’s actually a larger sequence?
@@HCraftYT You’re thinking of The Thousand Year Door.
@@thebrightdiamondtp7871 thank you.
9:08 Could you imagine if the "Game over" screen had a different screen one thats scarier and had evil Peach slaving Mario

Thought Game Over screens were a lost art but I am surprised by how recent some of those were :O
Yeah...
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.
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!
Same goes for DK 64!
The original rage quit!
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
3:36 great memories about the bike theft 🥺
7:45 Wow. Olimar really just got decapitated and planted into the ground as a seed. What.
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.
Yeah, most likey, because of censor...
Nah, most likely because they didn't want to animate such an elaborate sequence for a game over screen.
Odd*
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.
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
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
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."
Metroid prime easily takes the cake, looks like something tat would come out of a sci-fi horror game
I wish we could see some from more Switch games like Breath of the Wild, Metroid Dread, or Astral Chain
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
@@gamersunite_YT 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
@@HaxHaunter wait what are you serious
@@gamersunite_YT 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.
@@zigazav1 Not to be *that* person but you probably just spoiled the entire game for this person :/
6:10 HOLY SHT THAT WENT FROM 0 TO 100 in SECONDS
The Banjo-Kazooie ending is hilarious, anybody disturbed by it must have been *really* young.
Well...I was a toddler when Banjo-Kazooie came out. So it definitely gave me the creeps.😂
Damn the Punch Out game over made me cry
4:08 I used to do really bad at donkey kong country and get this game over so much i started getting ANGERY and this part of the video just made all of that flash before me, as I couldn't pass minecart carnage lol

@@themonkeyman2910 Yes and no, Punch Out doesn't have a true "game over", but after the main 2 modes is a challenge mode where, after 3 losses, you get the ending.
It's trigger is similar, but it is also the literal ending of the game. It even locks you out of career mode after since Mac retired.
@@YourCrazyDolphin That game seems pretty over to me.
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?🤔
I guess it’d count as the main character saying ‘aight, I’m getting tired, can we just give up and go home now’ and not solving any problems that were happening at said moment.
@@thebeaniestbeaninallthelands K. Rool was like: " Ha ha, you quit the game! Why didn't you just finish it when you had a chance? Now face the consequences!"🐊👑
So… If I have to leave the game for school, when I’ll come back, I’ll have to restart ALL OVER AGAIN?! *ARE YOU KIDDING ME, RARE?!*
@@Superemie401 Well... Gruntilda DID threaten to erase all your game data if you put a certain code enough times in Treasure Trove Cove's sand castle.😨
@@latexu9589 Damn!
What scared me the most as a kid, I sometimes go over my cousin house to play Conker Bad Fur Day and that scene where conker be tossed like a sandbag.
Yeah, that cutscene...
I love these kinds of videos! Keep it up!
not extremely creepy but I always loved Ocarina of times game over screen. everything fading to black except link is creepy and the music starts out darker emphasizing your mistake but than adds in a few more notes that are uplifting and motivate you to try again. plus the whole game over screen is oddly calming.
Fire emblem echoes is the best modern fire emblem for how unapologetically dark it is, especially since it does it without tooting its horn about it much like a lot of other “dark” moments in fire emblem
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.
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
Tell me about it, you know on what happens when you fail to protect the carriage from combustion
And Super Mario Sunshine's, tho, yeah... 😬
Ocarina of time scared the fuck out of me when I was younger!
Okay but the Shadows of Valentia game over screen just attributing the quote to “a famous general” was pretty funny to me
The DKC game over literally haunted me until I was almost a teenager.. I was so scared of it.
I know it is not a Nintendo game...but House of the Dead's Game over cutscene...that's pretty horrifying for a kid...and frustrating for a hardcore player when like they reached so far
NO-ONES TALKING ABOUT HOW MARIO GETS HIS FUCKING LIFE DRAINED FROM HIM IN COLOR SPLASH
I know...
I never played that game, so I'm just now seeing that for the first time like: 😱
Them Shy Guys wasted no time!😂
The amount of times I saw the DK 64 game over screen as a kid will haunt me forever
Me too!
Dang Punch Out Wii's ending really hit me hard. Kinda sad but nice at the same time. We all could use a Doc Louis in our life.
4:00 Fun fact: the donkey Kong country game over screen it's not creepy is so sad and there's a game boy color version, scares the player
Yeah, and on the GBA version it uses an sky background, rather than just an black screen...
The OG game boy version of that game scared the hell out of me
Wow, those games are awesome, but there's creepy moments like the Game Over of Banjo and Kazooie.
That was literally the first game over in this video
@@YoudonknowwhoIam
And i can't believe Gruntilda turned into a weird She-Hulk like that
Let's be honest. The Banjo Kazooie game over is the good ending.
At least its ok for banjo not to be an girl...
What happens to banjo and kazooie?
I forget the name but there was a NES game set in Disneyland (or Disney World) and the Game Over screen always scared me when I was a kid because the countdown screen had this very creepy green faced Death looking being waiting for you to respond. I use to have to hide and wait for him to stop counting to be able to play the game again.
Adventures in the Magic Kingdom right?
@@lissia5014 I honestly don't recall but I think that was the name of the game.
i believe tooty’s transformaton going “raar” is so cute
Loved getting to relive some of these!
the Pikmin one seems charming on the surface until you realize how unsettling that situation actually is.
Surprised that none of the deaths in Origami King were in this.
Edit: To be more specific, the death where you're trapped in a giant lamp for eternity is one of them and also when Mario gets cut in half by scissors.
Yeah...
Banjo's Gameover always Cracks me up lol.
metroid prime 2 tho.......
._.
4:31 When you leak information about an upcoming console 1 millisecond before release (it was super important)
That luigis mansion one is terrifying
But the luigi's mansion today it just says "good night"
@@BhiPho he meant the first one.also it's not a game over it's from a trailer in e3
About the time someone mentioned the Fire Emblem Echoes one. I love it so much.
8:10 OH NO
The beta game over for Luigi’s Mansion had a mixture of eeriness and mystery on why is Luigi become like that
4:41 Henry eats and Val Val Val is weird scary and confusing but, this donkey Kong lost, Nightmares. Edit: is looks like the monkeys are Begging to sleep at there parents bed when they are Scared And always see the scariest shadow at night with the most creepiest Graphics
6:25
Ayo what-
Andross scared the living crap out of me when I was a little kid playing Star Fox 64 on Nintendo 64 he's the reason I wasn't able to bet the game all of those years ago
As a kid I was terrified of running out of time in Majora's Mask. That ending was very scary to me.
would say samus is the scariest as it literally shows her dying as well as luigi's mansion 3 just seeing king boo capture everyone(the original scared me a bit until i found out he was depressed.) they should next game have him going against bowser/wario & waluigi as rival ghostbusters alongside adding princess daisy using the original poltergust.
& dkc2 when it goes red as with how revenge hungry king k. rool was/how he treated donkey kong in the final battle's beginning wouldn't be out there he just killed the 2(dkc's scared me as a kid.) and is badass we see dk64's bad ending happen in ultimate only for donkey kong to stand his ground and charge at the king with diddy to protect their home.
though with how tooty disappears after this game outside ultimate/missing milk poster in tooie grunty might as well have won(even then it's implied she would've just gotten fat again anyways.),wish we saw the link's awakening game over as a cutscene in the remake(still a huge missed opportunity not having the photographs be animated cutscenes in the intro's style.)
I used to be scared of Samus’ scream when she dies in prime games
I can think of two more: the "bad endings" to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's "World of Light", where defeating only Galeem or Dharkon (instead of both) resulted in the other side winning and destroying the universe. (and if Galeem wins again, Kirby doesn't escape)
The pikmin one is actually terrifying
it's basically cannibalism, i do remember getting this game over and wondering why the pickmin were so focused on changing him into their own species, kinda dark regarding all the games in the series, if they feel that they can wait for your death like vultures and then use your corpse to turn you into something you trusted them to help you on your journey, that is a bit messed up 😨😨
@@HUYI1It's not cannibalism since they aren't shown to be eating him, but it's still a pretty disturbing scene.
Oh man the Banjo and Kajooie game over brings back so many memories...
0:21 Technically, he's game ended on Spiral Mountain, which is located OUTSIDE of Grunty's tower.🤔
