This is not how Mario should die

by Ross Miller { May 18th 2008 at 8:30PM }

Some death sequences hit the mark just right. Vito Corleone in The Godfather, Wadsworth the Butler in Clue, Pac-Man in Pac-Man ... all beautiful and masterfully orchestrated demises. Witness in the video above a compilation of death sequences that should never be used for Mario. Not all of the games referenced are listed in the video, so peep after the break for a full list.

Mega-Man
Q-Bert
Dragon's Lair
Smash Bros.
Friday the 13th
Paperboy

I think its the death to Dragons Lair, not Friday the 13th

Woops nvm, that was in a different spot, I just got it confused.

When I saw the Smash Bros. death, I thought it was a reference to how Team Rocket flys away in the Pokemon TV show.

Silicon Siren @ May 18th 2008 9:13PM

Perhaps that is where the Super Smash Bros. deaths were taken from.

Demaar @ May 18th 2008 10:03PM

Nah, that's a common anime cliché.

When I was a kid I always wondered how they possibly survived the falls they did.

"You're dead
Your friends hate you
Luigi got raped by Koopas
Peach is a slut
Bowser rules the land
Toad shoots himself
You suck at life

Game Over"

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Toad didn't shoot himself. He hung himself! Big difference!
