It's a Wonderful Failure	comment	Some particularly cruel game developers aren't satisfied with just telling them how badly they lost — they have to show that the player failed through an alternate Downer Ending in which players are forced to endure the terrible fate that awaits the characters they were supposed to be helping. They didn't just get a Game Over where they can reload and everything's fine — they FAILED. They failed and now they will live just long enough to see the Big Bad claim victory and to see the END OF THEIR CIVILIZATION. This has the effect of getting players so upset that they are inclined to Set Right What Once Went Wrong and retry the game. If done right, it will end up being very, very depressing, especially for younger gamers, and thus a very strong incentive to not die. If it's a cartoon action game that features cute, playable characters, be warned: The Game Over scene may show them in a pitiful, humiliating state of powerless defeat. It may, however, become very annoying when the game is hard and requires the player to try and fail over and over. Either way, there's no shaking that sense that the game developers just stuck their big pointing fingers at the gamer, saying "You Bastard! Look what you did to your favorite character... take a good, long look. You caused this — not us." This is often a Non-Standard Game Over, though a few games use this trope as the standard failure. Compare Have a Nice Death, Player Death Is Dramatic, Shoot the Shaggy Dog and The Bad Guy Wins. Not to be confused with Fission Mailed, which is non-sarcastically wonderful. This is for game overs, for just dying see The Many Deaths of You. See also Nice Job Breaking It, Hero, a situation where the hero failed to do his heroism the right way. Earn Your Bad Ending may mix with this if the player has to go out of their way to watch this. If the game over doesn't lead to this and instead cut the ending off, then you get No Ending. This is a death trope. Expect lots of marked and unmarked spoilers ahead.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_10321784	comment	The majority of Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten's Multiple Endings are just early bad endings you get for losing to bosses in various chapters. You see fully-voiced cutscenes (some rather lengthy) and a narration of the boss you lost to going on to conquer the world. Note that unlike many other examples of this trope, these sequences are actually very lighthearted, but apart from losing to Artina (which results in her forcing your characters to work for her but might still have the possibility for them to go back to their normal plans), they result in Fridge Horror since it would mean The End of the World as We Know It.

First, if you die and have not yet paid the tab Charon The Ferryman demands for reviving you, you will be tossed into a mountain of souls to wait for your turn to cross the Styx... which is implied will take millennia if not aeons. The second one is just after destroying Kenji in Infernal Tokyo; to achieve it, you overload the Yamato Perpetual Reactor, which results in it malfunctioning and creating a massive black hole, which you watch as it consumes you, followed by Tokyo, followed by Mikado, and as the screen turns to black, the game informs you that everyone has been freed from agony and sorrow and that everything is gone.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_10e55ac7	comment	The goal of The Lost Vikings is to get the three Vikings back to their home time and defeat the alien Tomator. The goal of each level is to lead them all to the exit (all three Vikings must make it). If at any time a Viking dies, the level becomes Unwinnable and the player can either try to progress to the exit (and not proceed), kill off the remaining Vikings or simply choose to give up. The "Continue" screen shows a Viking funeral where at nighttime any surviving Vikings are watching as a lone Viking ship sails away while on fire. Once the ship is offscreen, a continue option appears. Choosing "Yes" has any deceased Viking return with a lightning bolt, while choosing "No" makes the words "Game Over" come down onscreen, meaning the lost Vikings will stay lost.

He gets a lot of abuse from his Unsatisfiable Customers, and then he learns why they're so bad-tempered. Foodarackacycles break down as often as once a week, so George and his friend Henry design a new, more reliable model. George and Henry then sell the design to Edible Engineering, and George becomes rich from the design's sales and his new job as "senior culinary technician". In another ending, George becomes a Burger Fool at McMegolith's, and is promoted to "Junior Greasedisher Grade Three". That's still more promotion and recognition than he ever got in fifteen years of slaving for Spacely.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_177ecec6	comment	Getting a Game Over in Lollipop Chainsaw results in the screen turning to gray as Juliet faints, and then it cuts to a comic book panel depicting one of three outcomes (all of which are randomized): The most common one depicts Juliet's zombified arm coming out from her grave and reaching for Nick's head. One of them only has her arm coming out (Nick isn't present), and instead we hear a very, very remorseful Nick saying, "Juliet...I will always love you, baby. Always..." (This is the only Game Over screen used in the Prologue.) And last but not least, there's one where Nick's head is placed at Juliet's grave, holding a rose between his teeth (she doesn't rise from her grave in this one). Also, when you finish the game and wait until the credits are over, you will get two different cutscenes, depending on whether you saved all of the saveable classmates or not. If you didn't save all of them, the cutscene you get shows Juliet's mom revealing that she's a zombie, and saying, "Time for dinner! And by dinner, I mean...YOU!" The screen then cuts to black as we hear everyone screaming, followed by a loud CRUNCH.

At the end of the game, you fight Ra's Al Ghul and â€” after the fight â€” Ra's detonates bombs and floods the planet. Batman then collapses to his knees and lets out a Big "NO!". To get the game's proper ending, you must disarm Ra's Al Ghul's signal device before going to the final boss, which the game does not tell you or hint to you. If you fail to defeat Ra's, Batman is stabbed and lives to see Ra's detonate the bombs before he dies. If you disarm the signal device and then lose to Ra's, Batman is stabbed and Ra's tells Batman that the device will be repaired in 18 hours, thus Batman dies knowing that he failed.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_21644ea6	comment	The all ages-rated Power Pro-kun Pocket series loved disturbing game overs and bad endings: About every installment has multiple love interests who either get traumatized, disappear, die or are murdered if the player fails their questline. It's naturally a major source of Player Punch to read through the resulting epilogue scenes. A common game over scenario throughout the series are the protagonists either getting fired or too injured to keep playing baseball, so they leave the sport in disgrace. The one subversion was in 13, where getting crippled late in the story results in the protagonist deciding to become a coach instead. Once per game, there is a game over outcome that brings up a haiku mocking the player's fate. In some installments, the Mania status that makes the protagonist waste turns visiting toy stores is incurable. This locks the player into a bad ending where the protagonist becomes a fat shut-in obssessed with figurines or gacha. Failing a Pennant Race run brings up a game over screen unique to each installment which shows the protagonist suffering severe levels of depression and humiliation for failing to become Japan's #1, such as being tossed over a pile of garbage on an alley. The latter games have REGRET captioned on top of the screen, and on two instances play it for laughs by parodying the deaths of Joe Yabuki and Raoh, who both went out feeling anything but that. In 3's Cyborg scenario, failing to build the Memory gauge on the third year or getting defeated by Kameda on either phase of the optional final boss fight turns the protagonist into a slave for him and his Neo Propeller criminal organization. If the Karma Meter is very low, the protagonist instead willing joins Kameda in his world-conquering quest. There are also game over screens showing the protagonist drowned in a river by the yakuza or having his corpse tossed into a junkyard. Losing a baseball match in 6 bankrupts the protagonist's factory and gets him sent into Indentured Servitude at a labor camp island. This is canon and leads into the Happiness Island scenario, in which there are multiple ways for him to be executed by the nazi-esque Blood Butterfly army that rules over the island. The ending for clearing the story without a rebellion has a shot of Helga and Makonde surrounded by graves of their workers and the island's natives as they continue to perform human experimentation of the Happiness drugs. Submitting to the Pocket Heroes in 7's Koshien Hero scenario results in a bad ending where they kick everyone except the protagonist from the Hanamaru team. This can lead to the club's manager Rena getting brainwashed by them for knowing their true motives. Another game over scene infamous among players was a Jump Scare of a distorted crayon drawing captioned "Happiness", portraying the protagonist as brainwashed to think of nothing but baseball. When the 2021 smartphone app had an adaptation of Koshien Hero, Konami left just this game over screen in and even made merchandise of it despite every other scenario in the app having much Lighter and Softer game over scenes. In 8's Special Mission Hunter scenario, failing to find the illegal android and not building a good relationship within the Hoppers team turns the protagonist into a depressed deadbeat from being kicked out of the team and the CCR organization. This counts as a save file-erasing game over despite clearing the story.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_22e5872a	comment	All Donkey Kong Country games have a disturbing Game Over screen. The first one has DK and Diddy badly beaten up on a black background, sporting 'X' bandages, accompanied by funeral dirge music with an eerie wooden "GAMe oveR"; the second one has Diddy and Dixie locked in a cell (with the screen turning red) while the a red "GAME OVER" descends upon their doom: in the third a door creaks open to show Dixie and Kiddy locked away in a baby crib in a dark room made even worse with its Ominous Music Box Tune, with the words: GAME OVER in colorful, jumping letter blocks.

Ryo refuses, charges at Lan Di, and is hit by the same technique Lan Di used to kill his father as the scene freezes and fades to white. The words "Game Over" are then seen, which is impossible to generate under any other circumstance. Luckily, this sort of thing almost has to be forced because of the generous timeframe you're given (the game starts in November of the previous year). As long as you commit some plot-related task that day, you'll pretty much always be moving forward to the end of the game note Unless, of course you keep flubbing the "sneak into Warehouse No. 8" segment, which advances the game one day every time you fail.

You are not given the option to try again; he merely absorbs the defeated fighter before giving a speech about his disappointment in your failure (with music that does not help).

Some examples: If your entire family dies: You are told of the fact, and given a brief lecture about Arstotzkan workers being required by law to support large healthy families to stimulate the growth of Arstotzka. You are then fired and replaced with someone who's better suited for that goal. If you shoot a non-terrorist with your weapons: You are arrested and sentenced to forced labor if you tranquilize an innocent. If you shoot one with the non-tranquilizer rifle, or if you shoot an Arstotkan border guard with either weapon, you're sentenced to death instead. A variation of this ending happens if you shoot the Man in Red: You are sentenced to forced labor or death as above, but EZIC then sends you a note stating that the replacement inspector isn't cooperative and they have to go into hiding, but they will safely relocate your family to Obristan. If you escape to Obristan by yourself or only with part of your living family in the last act of the game: You and the family members you take make it across the border, while the rest move back to their home village. The game points out that the safety of the family you left behind is unknown. If you reach the end of the game having helped out EZIC, but not enough to unlock their special ending, and don't flee to Obristan: Your connection to EZIC is uncovered by the Ministry of Information, and you face the death penalty for treason against Arstotzka.

This actually serves a useful purpose, since some of the bad ends (especially Kokoro in Satoru's body eating and making his body suceptible to the effects of the MAOI) have the ending occur several days after the deciding choice, with the choice not being incredibly conspicuous.

Losing the Final Boss fight to the Tantuals System treats you to a haunting scene where Athena is seized and forcibly made into the power source for the computer, with the scene ending with a close up of her face (complete with Dull Eyes of Unhappiness) as a Single Tear rolls down her cheek.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_49a88442	comment	In Final Fantasy XIV, most of the losses in battle just has the boss reset and the party restart the fight. However, there are some fights that have their own extended cutscene to show just how royally screwed you are if you lose: In the Steps of Faith duty, you're tasked with slaying a massive dragon before it reaches the city of Ishgard. If you don't stop it in time, you're treated to a scene of your player character hunched over in pain and can only look on as the dragon roars in victory while Lucia declares Ishgard lost. The screen then cuts to black as "DUTY FAILED" pops up. The fight against Bismarck takes place on a floating island and every time Bismarck rams it, its integrity goes down. Should the island's stability completely bottom out, you're treated to a scene of your character knelt over in exhaustion and only able to look on as Bismarck swoops in with his mouth open and swallows you and the island whole. "DUTY FAILED" appears as the screen cuts to black.

Should you choose the latter, and walk out of that building, the game informs you that you just doomed the world. Funny enough, this choice is presented within the first hour of the game, meaning you can beat an RPG within an hour. As long as you don't care for that 'saving the world' hullabaloo. It gets confusing when, in the second game, you learn that the Designated Villain is the good guys, and you were an Unwitting Pawn for most of the game.

This curse can only be staved off by feeding her meat from the monsters in the dungeon. Put off feeding her for too long and let her humanity gauge completely empty (and even then, the screen will pulse violently for a few minutes before the end happens, so you still have a little time) and Aeron will be transported back home, where Elena has completely transformed and eats him. If that wasn't bad enough, it then goes into a bad ending where Elena leads an army of monsters across the land, and if that wasn't enough, a line Aeron says at the end implies that he is still alive inside of her.

And then a bomb pursues your character and explodes, adding further insult to injury. For many players, the scene Crosses the Line Twice, partially because of said bomb, and partially because you have to actively try to get the bad ending in the first place, since you have to retry a race if you place 5th or below. Super Circuit has an equally humiliating loss scene; your character drives up to the awards ceremony and they are promptly squished by the falling podium.

Interestingly, dying in Persona 4 has Igor recite something that goes against the meaning of the last game.note Because, as it turns out, this is an impostor. Aside from that, it's almost like he's the same person throughout the entire series... If you die in "The Answer", Igor recites another poem, about how the Main Character sacrificed his life for you and that you dying was a waste of his death. Gives you the warm fuzzies, doesn't it? And prior to any of that, you get to hear your character groan his last breath, along with Mission Control ordering you to get up or crying out for your life. Made even more poignant if you've been building up your Mission Control's Social Link and getting intimate with them.

Lose to him and you'll get the same results from Toby's aforementioned "The Halloween Hack". Also, if you choose to kill every single fightable character through the game, the protagonist becomes possessed by the embodiment of the player's own lust for power and destroys the game itself. You can only start over by selling your soul to them, which taints the happiest ending of the game permanently. Unless you deliberately tamper with your save file. Downplayed in Deltarune, where if you choose not to continue after getting a game over, you'll be told "THEN, THE WORLD WAS COVERED IN DARKNESS", and a track called "Darkness Falls" will play.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_6209d3ce	comment	The extremely melodramatic failure messages from the Trauma Center series. The dev team tells you, roughly, "WELCOME TO CLINICAL DEPRESSION, MOTHERFUCKER!!". There is one logical exception — fail the bomb mission in the first game, and you just get an explosion, as Derek has been blown up into itty bitty bits. There's even one in Under The Knife 2 where after being kidnapped by Heinrich von Raitenau's henchmen, they force you to operate on one of their henchmen IN THE BACK OF A MOVING CAR IN THE DARK. As if that weren't hard enough, if you fail, they kill Derek and Angie, dispose of their bodies, and they are never seen again and forgotten about within six months as the threat of Delphi encroaches upon the world. As traumatic as the murder of your protagonists is, the main concern is probably HOW DID THEIR FRIENDS FORGET ABOUT THEM IN SIX MONTHS?! In New Blood, you must operate on a dog. Failing this operation gives you the same "Ashamed by their failure, the doctors left medicine forever..." Game Over screen, the same as if you'd failed to save any other (human) patient in the game, which is kind of taking it too far. Even worse in Trauma Team, where at the Game Over screen, you hear your doctor characters lamenting how life sucks, their ideals suck, and wondering why they even try. There is one exception, and it makes sense, as well. It's a simple medical examination. Failing it has the doctor go "well, that was bad, let's go again". Even WORSE than the voice clip, failing Naomi's final mission has ROSALIA exclaiming in despair about how she wanted to help everyone.

If the Doom meter reaches 100%, the cultists manage to summon their Old God and bring about The End of the World as We Know It. Each of the Old Gods has a unique scenario, including Cthac-Atorasu, the Spider God hunting down the peopele of Shiokawa and trapping them for the rest of their lives in its webs before it devours them one by one, or Ath-Yolazsth, the Towering Eye being attracted to Earth and making its inexorable way to devour the planet. There are also unique death screens for several of the bosses (like the Scissor Woman from "Spine-Chilling Story of School Scissors" or Aka Manto's true form in "Chilling Chronicle of a Crimson Cape"), and for various other events (like trying to drink eldritch blood from a glass bottle, or trying to reroll the Shiba Inu Shop's inventory when the Doom track is maxed out).

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_68b8bdfe	comment	The original X-COM: UFO Defense. If you failed — either by losing your last base, having your organization's funding withdrawn, or by getting wiped out during the final Mission to Mars — you got to see what happened to Earth as a resultâ€¦ humanity reduced to slaves of the alien invaders, slowly mutating into pitiable monsters due to the aliens poisoning the water and airâ€¦ the sun blackened by dark clouds, urban ruinsâ€¦ and stuff like that. In the PS1 version of the game, the aliens kick in the doors of the U.N., shoot all of the signatories, and split with the treaty before the ink is even dry! Apparently they don't think much of traitorous Quislings. This version is even more gruesome than the original, with the President getting shot point-blank in the head. X-COM liked this trope. In Terror From the Deep, Cthulhu The Great Alien awakens and destroys the world, while the aliens melt the ice caps. In Apocalypse, the aliens pull Earth into another dimension. And that's the bad ending. The good ending in Apocalypse saves Earth, although Megaprimus lies half in ruins. In Terror From the Deep, you destroy the mothership of the abomination, which in turn poisons Earth's atmosphere, makes a lot of people die, and leaves quite a lot of Earth uninhabitable. This in fact is the reason to build the megacities, like Megaprimus in Apocalypse. Also, your whole expedition dies on the ship. You know, the ones you trained for months, the ones you loved... just gone in an instant. Apparently, it wasn't received all that well, so both Apocalypse and Interceptor have much more positive good endings. And Interceptor? Well, if you fail, Earth is destroyed by a death star. If you manage to destroy the death star but not escape in time (or have your way home destroyed), you're dead along with your wingmen but hey, you saved the Earth, so it's kind of victory, right?

For example: "Your failure to protect Griffin doomed the rebellion. Without the information only he could provide, Ultor's troops and the plague wiped out Eos and the Red Faction". Amusingly, you still get one of these for killing a certain character mere moments before he's scheduled to die. Even giving him a Mercy Kill while he's burning to death in front of you gives you a nonstandard game over!

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_6c1d09b1	comment	In Fallout and Fallout 2, the image of the player's skeleton set against the dead wasteland background is made worse by the narrator telling you just how many people were depending on you. This can be downright eerie if the death came unexpectedly (e.g., via radiation poisoning), because the shift from the gamescreen to the deathscreen is so Goddamned sudden. If you betray the Vault's location to the mutant leaders, you are dipped in the FEV in a disturbing scene that contrasts the consensual nature of your turning. To add more scares, you then get a cutscene through the Vault's security cameras of the mutants storming the vault, having easily ripped the thick metal door off the hinges, blasting harmless civilians without provocation, and a drawn out Gatling Good battle with the Jerkass Overseer protecting the last uncontaminated humans the Unity seeks. With mutants falling left and right to the gunfire, there is a tiny glimmer of hope that he will succeed, which is then dashed as he is suddenly ambushed by supermutants climbing onto his command chair to deliver a vicious beating-to-death as the camera pans away to show only eerie shadows, before it fails entirely and goes dead. Game Over. In Fallout 3, allowing the Purifier to explode gives you the worst ending, also excluding you from playing the Broken Steel DLC epilogue. Earlier, while imprisoned in Raven Rock, if you tell Autumn the code to the Purifier, he executes you on the spot. Fallout: New Vegas loves this trope to death. If you help nasty factions or do badly in certain quests, the game will tell you at the end about all the terrible stuff that happened. The player gets a particularly special Bad Ending if they join Father Elijah at the end of the DLC Dead Money: Another example is a cut ending from Old World Blues, in which the player would have joined the think tank.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_718f3ed1	comment	In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, should you spare Menendez but have Lynch die in one point of the game, the ending will show the cyberattack succeeding, and Menendez will escape from jail. He kills Woods in his retirement home, then he'll be shown visiting his sister's grave. After that, Menendez will douse himself in gasoline and set himself on fire. Another bad ending in the game includes killing Menendez. If you kill him, a YouTube video he had recorded earlier will play, and a mass riot by Cordis Die will spread around the world. Black Ops III's timeframe would confirm that this ending is the canon one...sort of. A separate part of the ending is determined if Woods made a fatal shot on Alex Mason. If the shot was fatal, part of the ending shows Section and Woods talking over Mason's grave. This can be combined with the above two parts of the ending. In the Zombies map "Mob of the Dead", the main Easter egg involves a group of mobsters who are stuck in an infinite loop in Purgatory, which would only stop if the cycle is broken. If Albert "The Weasel" Arlington is killed by the rest of the mobsters, the game over screen reads, "The Cycle Continues", forcing the events of Mob of the Dead to occur again, preventing the timeline from moving forward, and thus, the mobsters will not be able to rest in peace (as they are already dead). The Black Ops 4 remake "Blood of the Dead" confirms that Weasel did eventually kill the others and allow the Cycle to break, though all four would still be stuck as ghosts on the island until Primis came along.

She even demands a talk with Banjo immediately for this travesty. However, for some, this was offset by Grunty's newfound hotness and the fact that Tooty was The Scrappy. For others, this scene was scary. The problem with this is that the scene plays every time you save and quit, too. It's almost as if the game is slapping you across the face for not playing it start to finish in one go.

While this ending doesn't automatically doom everyone to the Reapers in and of itself, your inability to continue playing, along with certain developments in Mass Effect 3 (such as the Illusive Man getting indoctrinated), don't paint a very hopeful picture. A more straightforward case occurs in the DLC "Arrival": if you screw around in the mission so you don't destroy the mass relay before the time given to you on the countdown is up, you're treated to the arrival of the Reapers and cutscenes showing everyone you know being indoctrinated/dragged off to be made into Reaper Chow. Mass Effect 3 has a variation of this with the Rejection Ending. Long story short? The Reapers win. Everyone dies. The end. Now pick one of the real endings, you whiners.

The Japanese version makes it worse by showing a picture of the city that was destroyed by the bombs. The U.S. version cuts the image out, reducing the impact of the failure. Oddly enough, the text of the Japanese ending downplays the impact of the obvious ruin on the heroes, while the U.S. version's readout implies that the heroes' reputations are ruined as much as the city.

If you choose to continue, okay ("The shadow remains cast!"), but if you choose not to, she screams in agony as about twenty or thirty hands grab her from all sides and pull her down into Hell to collect on their deal.

In Apocalypse, the aliens pull Earth into another dimension. And that's the bad ending. The good ending in Apocalypse saves Earth, although Megaprimus lies half in ruins. In Terror From the Deep, you destroy the mothership of the abomination, which in turn poisons Earth's atmosphere, makes a lot of people die, and leaves quite a lot of Earth uninhabitable. This in fact is the reason to build the megacities, like Megaprimus in Apocalypse. Also, your whole expedition dies on the ship. You know, the ones you trained for months, the ones you loved... just gone in an instant. Apparently, it wasn't received all that well, so both Apocalypse and Interceptor have much more positive good endings. And Interceptor? Well, if you fail, Earth is destroyed by a death star. If you manage to destroy the death star but not escape in time (or have your way home destroyed), you're dead along with your wingmen but hey, you saved the Earth, so it's kind of victory, right?

If the player sets off the nuke in Ranger Citadel early on in the game, you're told that you've wiped out the Desert Rangers and doomed the wasteland to be a lawless desert forever. At the end of the game, you have to set off the nuke in order to stop the Cochise AI from infecting every robot and cyborg and wiping out what's left of humanity. Leaving without doing so results in you being told that your team was banished for their cowardice, the machines killed everyone for a thousand miles (at least), and it's only a matter of time before they find you. If you decide to join Matthias, he'll instruct you to kill the leaders of every major faction and town in California, and doing his bidding results in him luring you into ground zero of a nuke he hid in a crate that promptly detonates the second he finishes gloating, and you're then told that your irradiated atoms will rain down upon your victims while Matthias enslaves the Rangers with his robot army.

In a game where Death Is a Slap on the Wrist, dying gets you expelled to the area's lobby on DK Island/to a cave entrance on the island. However, pausing the game and selecting "Quit Game" from the menu will eventually take you to the title screen, but first, you are shown a cutscene where King K. Rool presses a button on his throne, and a fully operational Blast-O-Matic begins charging up, pointed directly at the island, accompanied by impending doom music and letters superimposed over the outside shot, spelling "GAME OVER". The exact same thing happens when you run out of time in Hideout Helm. This exact scene became his Final Smash when he became a fighter in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, so now you can both experience past trauma from getting this as a game over so long ago and actually see the entirety of what happens. All Donkey Kong Country games have a disturbing Game Over screen. The first one has DK and Diddy badly beaten up on a black background, sporting 'X' bandages, accompanied by funeral dirge music with an eerie wooden "GAMe oveR"; the second one has Diddy and Dixie locked in a cell (with the screen turning red) while the a red "GAME OVER" descends upon their doom: in the third a door creaks open to show Dixie and Kiddy locked away in a baby crib in a dark room made even worse with its Ominous Music Box Tune, with the words: GAME OVER in colorful, jumping letter blocks. Kiddy grasps the edge of the crib, as if pleading for whoever opened the door to let them out, while Dixie sits grumpily in the back corner. At the tune's end, the door closes. The Game Over scene in Returns and Tropical Freeze is less creepy, but keeps the dirge from the first game.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_9173be2b	comment	Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (and, by extension, its American sister game, Elite Beat Agents) has alternate endings for failing a mission in which the story resolves badly. Particularly cruel is A Christmas Wish, in which the girl goes into her teenage years continuing to cling on to false hope that her dead father will return one day. In the latter two games in the trilogy (EBA and Ouendan 2), if you fail at all of the checkpoints but still manage to finish the song, the character you're helping either winds up right back where they started, or they succeed, but with a massive downside. The only exceptions are the sad songs (where the ending is only slightly altered) and the finale.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_91afdcba	comment	Library of Ruina: After defeating the Black Silence, you will be given an option to have Angela kill Roland, followed by an option for Roland to kill Angela. Agreeing to any of these prompts will result in a Downer Ending that also doubles as a Non-Standard Game Over (since the game boots you back to the title screen and forces you to restart the Black Silence encounter). And if you do not clear all nine Floor Realizations before this reception, the game will just force you to kill Angela/Roland and prevent you from continuing until you exit the gauntlet and clear their respective realizations. Fail to clear the Asiyah Realizations as well as Hokma's, and you will be forced to have Angela kill Roland. Angela turns Roland into a book, kills all of her fellow Sephirot and becomes human, aimlessly wrecking havoc within the southwestern quarters of the City for 13 years before an unnamed Bookhunter puts her out of her misery. Fail to clear the Briah Realizations as well as Binahs, and you will have to let Roland kill Angela, due to Angela being a human, she was unambiguously decapitated and the Library collapses like a mirage. Roland goes back to the City, but according to his former friends, he was under the influence of drugs and doing shady businesses due to losing the will to live. His former friends and enemies track him down and impale him with numerous weapons, and he dies ingloriously with his weapon-filled corpse drifting alongside the gutter, and only his former comrade Astolfo remotely displaying sympathy for his death..

Most of the early Command & Conquer games had two end of mission cutscenes; one for victory and one for defeat. Many looked pretty damn cool (Nod Soldiers raising a flag in the middle of a burning base?) Tiberian Sun actually has a few cutscenes where you succeed, but feel like a complete monster for doing so. In one, the Nod Soldiers are walking through a devastated base; a lone GDI soldier, apparently surviving the carnage, crawls out and limply pleads for mercy. The Nod Soldier simply shakes his head and fires his gun. The base is the one you attack in the previous mission. In Red Alert 2, during the Allied mission to recapture St. Louis, if the timer runs out and Tanya is mind-controlled, there is a special cutscene that shows Tanya having been taken over and quite enthusiastically favoring the Soviets now.

In the reflection of the glass covering the photo, the theme park owner tries to commit suicide by jumping out the window, though he changes his mind and goes back up after a second or two. Still, this detail is easily missable, especially if you're trying to stomach the (up until then) disturbing sequence. The SNES and Genesis versions, on the other hand, had neither the storage space nor video decoding capability to include that clip. As a result, they used a still picture of the owner in mid-jump, making the implication even more disturbing than what PC players would have seen.

There's an alternative "backpath" to complete the main quest, but the player isn't directly told about it and this hinges on two particular NPCs being alive â€” so if you kill either of them, then it really is doomed.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_9d496066	comment	The home console game of Street Fighter: The Movie has a "Movie Battle" mode where the player, as Guile, must fight your way to General Bison under an expiring time limit â€” represented by the amount of time given to pay a $20 billion dollar ransom to the Shadaloo Tong before the hostages are executed â€” through different Street Fighter characters. If the player does not reach Bison within said time frame, once the current fight is over, Cammy tells Guile there is no more time left, meaning Bison needs to be found immediately, leading into the bad ending. The Allied Nations is forced to pay Bison the ransom for the hostages (which he thankfully releases, as promised) and Guile is arrested, stripped of his rank and court-martialed for disobeying orders and being responsible for the utter failure of the mission. Two years later, Bison uses the ransom money to successfully complete the operation to turn his entire army into Perfect Genetic Soldiers, allowing him to rise up and seize control of the world. This also happens if Street Battle — the standard single-player mode where you fight each opponent in a randomly-selected order — is completed as Bison, being notably the only ending where Shadaloo stays in operation. He kills Guile and his other enemies, repels the attack from the Allied Nations, and his despotic regime becomes powerful to the point where nothing can stop it any more:

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_aedc983a	comment	Wing Commander had an interesting feature, whereby the "Game Over" changes according on how far you'd gotten in the campaign. (Almost like a choose-your-own-adventure book.) Stuff always ended badly for the hero Blair: Die in battle and you're treated to the same 21-Gun Salute that Blair presides over in previous chapters — expect it's you, not some rookie, in the coffin. Fail to expose the spy in Wing Commander II (Invisible ships? Admiral Tolwyn thinks you're seeingâ€¦ er, not seeing things), and Blair exchanges a goodbye kiss with the Concordia's captain, "Angel" Devereaux. It's also the first kiss between the two if you haven't progressed far enough in the game. The next scene shows Blair burying his face in his hands as a news bulletin reports that Concordia was destroyed with all hands aboard. (Also, you're fired.) The losing ending of Wing Commander III shows the Kilrathi landing on a ruined Earth. But you still have one choice to make: Blair is dragged before the Prince of Kilrah and told to beg for his life. Refuse, and the Prince offers you a "warrior's death" before punching a hole through your spinal column. That's hardcore! Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom: Fail too many missions in the first chapter, and Blair gets booted from the service. The next scene shows Blair back at the bar in Nephele, drinking himself into a stupor as the civil war he could have prevented rages on a background newscast. If you fail during the courtroom finale (which is entirely conversational), Blair is put before a firing line, to be executed for treason. Meanwhile, the newly-minted Marshall Tolwyn is given carte blanche to destroy any planet that harbors his political opponents. In Prophecy, the aliens end up destroying you, your carrier, and presumably the last hope of staving off the invasion.

In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, failing to get your last client a "not guilty" verdict means she dies in the hospital mere hours later. Postponed for eternity indeed. Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth plays the trope straight: every single situation you could get a game over in has its own scene, ranging from Edgeworth being kicked off the investigation, to the killer laughing in your face as he's walking away free, to the wrong person being arrested. Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice both feature a number of bad endings in the final case.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog In Knuckles Chaotix, they don't recieve a death per se, but if you fail to collect all of the Chaos Rings, you will have the bad ending in which the upgraded Metal Sonic (known as Metal Sonic Kai) hovers over the burning remains of a city. Probably one of the darkest endings to a Sonic game to be made so far. For that matter, Sonic the Hedgehog CD, but only in the US version. Yes, it is nothing but a game over screen, but it's the nightmare-fuel inducing music combined with Robotnik's laughter that makes this so disturbing. Especially considering the fact that if you don't touch the controller for three minutes, Sonic will essentially commit suicide. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Master System/Game Gear has an implied bad ending if you beat the game without getting all the Chaos Emeralds. Failing to get all the emeralds won't let you get access to the final boss and the ending shows Sonic running along by himself, eventually stopping to look in the starry sky as a constellation of Tails forms. From there, you just get the Game Over screen since you did not rescue Tails from Robotnik, and it could imply that he killed Tails, though Word of God confirms Tails isn't dead.

Getting caught by the enemy that is chasing you ends with the screen blurring and turning red, showing the Game Over text "Acta est fabula" ("The Play is Over") while the sound hints quite well at what they are doing to Fiona (Debilitas crushes her and rips her body apart like a doll, Daniella will laugh like crazy while stabbing you and drinking your blood, Riccardo can be heard taking off her clothes and softly moaning, Old Lorenzo will rip apart her clothes and then apparently vomit and Young Lorenzo can be heard drinking her blood). The bad ending, got by not rescuing Hewie results in Fiona getting caught by Riccardo who will impregnate her with his clone, resulting in Fiona being Driven to Madness.

The one that probably fits the trope best is the infamous Mind of Steel ending where Shirou allows Sakura to be killed. Unlike the vast majority of bad endings, nothing really terrible happens to Shirou. Instead, Kotomine Kirei congratulates him, absolutely convinced that Shirou will now win the Grail War by any means necessary, which will naturally include going after Tohsaka in the next five seconds and killing her as well as taking out Ilya, who Shirou has grown very close to. Because, as Kotomine notes, they can't really be trusted with the Grail anymore.

If any of the four main characters dies and you get a Game Over, you then get a summary of your playthrough and how you did (character stats, how many days you survived, etc.)â€¦ plus a summary of how everyone died and the island was ruled by the Big Bad and his bandit gang until they depleted all its resources. If you manage to piss off the Big Bad enough by failing to pay him tribute too many times, you get an extended, dramatic Non-Standard Game Over in which he decapitates the youngest character in front of her parents, then murders them and everyone else, except for Moira the witch, whom he enslaves.

Even winning Payload teams aren't safe â€” just don't stand too close to the cart you're, erâ€¦ supposed to stand next to. Similarly, losing Mann versus Machine sees the robot carrying the bomb jumping into the delivery shoot or the Tank deploying the bomb (though the animation is slow enough that if you manage to destroy the Tank before the bomb drops, this earns you an achievement). In Special Delivery, victory for one team sends the rocket launching into the airâ€¦ and crash-landing into the losing team's spawn. (Actually, it lands on a presumably civilian building off to the side, at which point the Administrator will often say "Gentlemen, this never happened.") In many custom maps, winning triggers a variety of interesting (and often hilarious) events. And then there was the "idle" map that eventually spawns a giant killer cat.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_c2463c55	comment	In Final Fantasy X, during the final fight against Sin, failure to stop its Giga Graviton attack obliterates the airship and your party and possibly sets the area the fight took in into irreversible ruins, since the attack can cause land masses to shift. Not even using your Aeons as a shield will stop this — technically, the attack doesn't even do damage in any form, it just outright triggers a game over. At certain points in the game, getting a Game Over will have the last fallen party member moan some final words lamenting their failure or mentioning someone they let down while a crushing, percussive rendition of Suteki Da Ne plays. In particular, Lulu and Auron have quotes that can be heard as directly mocking the player. In the direct sequel (Final Fantasy X-2), failure during the Final Battle will result in the antagonist successfully firing Vegnagun, which shows a short cutscene of Spira being utterly destroyed from within.

The planet explodes and you arrive at a blank, white 'Continue?' screen. Even worse, should you choose not to continue on this specific fight, you can view his ending, shown above (in the Ultimate version; the vanilla version does not have the "GAME OVER" text superimposed). The aforementioned victory screen shows the Earth blazing red before it is destroyed. If that isn't creepy in itself, sometimes, while fighting the final boss, should the player take too long, the planet (which is seen in the background) will start to turn red by itself. This reddened Earth is still visible if the character wins, though the ending sequence progresses as if the planet had been saved quickly. Seeing the Earth decay before you even lose is just plain creepy.

Fortunately, stopping Ad Avis in the Fighter and Mage paths doesnâ€™t cause the scene to happen, regardless of if he manages to kill you, and you just get a typical Have a Nice Death message. No such luck on the Thief path, though, as it happens every single time you die regardless of if Ad Avis was stopped or not.

If you use eight continues, the Continue screen will change subtly, as the photo of Kyle and Erin shows Erin sprouting fangs. Choosing not to continue after this point skips straight to the Game Over screen, as Erin will have already been turned by this point. Continuing after this point and making it to the end of the game will have the game end with Erin biting Kyle, revealing that you were too late to save her from Nosferatu: she had been turned into a vampire. This Cruel Twist Ending is then immediately followed by the Game Over screen.

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_cf82131a	comment	In Marvel Ultimate Alliance, after beating the game, Uatu the Watcher looks back at various plot points in the game which could have been failed or chosen differently without resulting in death: for instance, saving Nightcrawler or Jean Grey, and destroying Galactus's drills. Depending on how you chose, failed, or succeeded, the Watcher will tell you how various factions were affected by your actions. If you saved Nightcrawler instead of Jean Grey, she comes back as the Phoenix to take revenge, whereas choosing Jean over Nightcrawler leads to his angry mother Mystique killing Professor Xavier, leading to the disbanding of the X-Men. (You can Take a Third Option, but only if you bring Magneto on that mission, as he can free them simultaneously with his magnetic powers.) In addition, if you didn't destroy Galactus' drills, he comes and uses them on the Earth.

In some scenarios, you get presented with another ending if you lose to one of the final bosses. A special mention goes to the final chapter, where losing to Odio means you get to see something similar to the alternate Armageddon ending, but from the other characters' point of view. Playing AS Odio is two variations of this: Triggering the mentioned Armageddon (from a menu command), or Oersted left to wander alone in an abandoned Lucrece forever.

However, if you fail the task of capturing the Elementals or die anytime after Ad Avis steals the evil Djinn Iblis' statue, you are treated to a long cut scene of the city being destroyed or an even longer cut scene of Iblis escaping the statue and wreaking havoc upon the world. The first time, it's creepy, but after the third or fourth time, it gets annoying. And it's a Sierra game â€” you die all the freaking time. Fortunately, stopping Ad Avis in the Fighter and Mage paths doesnâ€™t cause the scene to happen, regardless of if he manages to kill you, and you just get a typical Have a Nice Death message. No such luck on the Thief path, though, as it happens every single time you die regardless of if Ad Avis was stopped or not. In Quest for Glory IV, failing to defeat Ad Avis after the Dark One is summoned treats the player to a shot of the Dark One bursting out of a mountain (the same one seen in a vision earlier in the game).

It's a Wonderful Failure / int_edcb525f	comment	In Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?, you have the option to disobey the Prinnies' sadistic overlord Etna and attempt to escape. Doing so can be beneficial for players trying to visit each stage at each time, but if you take this route, you are taken to a credit roll and treated to a slideshow of the Prinnies' escape attempt. Everything seems to go well for the first few pictures, as the Prinnies flee across the countrysideâ€¦ until a Pringer X, one of Etna's mechanical minions, appears just behind them. The last few slides are the Prinnies being massacred wholesale for their disobedience â€” none survive.

When the player dies, if they do not load a previous save before the 'Flatlined' screen is meant to appear, the player is instead treated to a devastating series of voice messages left on V's communicator. While the various love interests react as if V had chosen 'The Reaper,' most of the characters from V's past instead go out of their way to point out just how foolish V was being when they assaulted the Tower alone.

You have to shoot Trinity several times to knock it off course before it can hit the White House. Should you fail to do so, you get treated to a cutscene of a massive explosion enveloping the White House and Capitol, stretching out towards the Washington Monument. Great Job.

Should you feed the demon sword by killing all of the other CPUs with it then destroy Arfoire, she actually takes her defeat very well, and because of that, with all the CPUs killed, Nepgear has faded the world to no competition, and soon Arfoire's ultimate revival will come and she will feed on the remains, and Gamindustri will soon crumble and be doomed to an eternity of destruction. Thankfully, this is only one of the Multiple Endings, but is by far the worst. Ironically, though, this is the hardest of the Multiple Endings to get. If you want some consolation, you do get to keep the sword in a New Game Plus.
