Topic: Worst Gaming Death Scenarios

This thread is for sharing your stories of your worst death scenarios in games.

For me, mine would be when I had just done an almost impossible jump in Super Mario Bros. on VC... and got killed by a goomba.

Share your videogame death stories here!

And remember- the crazier the better!

Off Topic: Hey look, a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle!!!

Magician Lord: The Endless Dungeon Stage, After 7 Minutes of Walking & Avoiding Frogs, I Finally found the Door Out, But A Giant Mutant Whatever Came Down & Stopped Me In 1 Hit

Fatal Fury: Geese Threw Joe Hisgashi Over to the Edge of the Screen and When I Tried Any Commands After That, Joe Just Stayed in Place & Let Geese Hit Him Non-Stop (Most Unfair Glitch Ever)

Drowing in any Soinc game.

It gives you a hunting Music, just to let you know, your going to die.......

well I was all better than my friends at smash bros and I went 3 on 1 and won with one stock left and around 250%

Falling in a Black Hole just before ending a level(Super Mario Galaxy)
Getting your buttocks kicked by a schoolgirl (Street Fighter)
Drowning in water from a cleaning bucket (Tatsunoko vs. Capcom)
Getting Falcon Pawnched while you were winning (Super Smash Bros.)
Falling in ink just before finishing a level (De Blob)

Try being stuck on Last Cave Hidden for hours getting your health and levels up in Cave Story with your mom pressuring you to go up and eat dinner, telling yourself "If I can beat this my entire life will be validated" to finally slay the Red Ogre and celebrate the ultimate achievement of your life and then getting crushed by one of those blocks with eyes because you didn't see it. D'oh.

Fighting your way through any kind of lengthy hazard-filled challenge (generally caves/dungeons), completing it with only a tiny bit of health remaining, and then being killed by a stray mook on your way back to the save point. RPGs, Metroid and Landstalker, I'm looking at you.

In 1943 for NES, Beating the boss with no energy, only to be hit by random derbis flying off it.

My 6 year old sister somehow beat me on SSBB...
In SMG2, those stupid goombas kept hitting me until I fell into a hole.
On MegaMan Zero 2, I did the leap of faith unable to see what was beneath me. So I am falling through the air. I can finally see the ground, but the one hole in the entire level is where I land...

Various games: Hurtling over a cliff 5 seconds after loading my game.

I was playing the level "Luigi's purple coins" on Super Mario Galaxy a while back. After 80 bajillion tries, i finally got a full 100 coins. I made it almost all the way back. But, on the last jump, I undershot and hurtled to my death.

This. It's almost like they want you to squeeze the controller until it explodes.

This also. I was playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 on that flip platform stage, and I was feeling quite relaxed because I had a minute left and only 1 more coin, after having played that level like 20 times. I got distracted and walked off the side of one of the platforms. I haven't played it since.

Another one I remember is killing a boss in one of the numerous collectathons on the N64, and then proceeding to accidentally fall off the edge before I get the item they give you.

Crash 3 - In Future Frenzy, I decide to shoot a Nitro crate with the bazooka. The explosion doesn't hurt me, but it triggers ANOTHER Nitro that does. Also, in Hot Coco, I hate when I collect all the crates, then slam into a bomb at the last second on my way to the exit.

SMG2 - I was killing the Boomerang Bros. at the end of the Perfect Run. It was going well, until BAM! I was hit with a Hammer Bro hammer.
