I wanted to include Bobby from Paper Mario: The Origami King here as a sad death but I sadly lost my footage of the game. BTW, that Mario Party minigame is here because the entire thing resembles a trap out of a Saw movie.
meh, its better to be forgot, because the bo om exploded every time and they dont die, the only way to die is Sick for example scarlet, the wife from the older sailor bo om from paper mario the thousand years door
Mother 3 destroyed me. The way they portrayed Flint's reaction and how he fell apart... I still feel like my chest gets ripped open whenever I watch it.
I also felt that was really well done and sad. That scene from mother 3 made me kind of laugh when I first played it. what went through my mind was "if someone is hitting people with a stick, hit him with a bigger stick" It shouldn't have been funny at that part, but it was.
YES! finally somebody acknowledges the death of the robobot armor, its final moments gave it sentience, going from gimmick, to a full blown character rest in peace...
I'm not sure how disturbing this death really is compared to the ones in this video but I'd like to think the whole "bowser getting burned alive with his skin melting off" thing in new super mario bros for the ds is at least somewhat disturbing
Don't forget about the fact that Samus has to attack first, leading to the interpretation that Crocomire was just chilling before she drew first blood.
Hinawa's death is super sad and makes you feel super sorry for Flint and the twins, but I think the final boss also needs a mention, that final boss just hits so hard...
I'd argue its the best executed in the video But saying that. Xenoblade could definitely have shown up more. The raid on colony 9 is really fucking scary for Nintendo
Samus parents in the manga: her mother gets burned torn to shreds by Ridley, her father blows himself up to protect Samus and then Ridley eats what remains of the colony to regenerate himself. Even going so far as to mock her about eating them the next time they meet Edit: for those that want to read it, it's translated to English on Metroid Database. It's only 16 chapters long
The Bounty Hunters death in Prime 3 are also disturbing, since Samus can't do anything about them. Especially Rundas who impales himself or Gandrayda who morphs into Samus as she died.
For context in the Kirby Planet Robobot clip against Star Dream Soul OS (5:01), Star Dream absorbed Haltmann’s soul, so whenever you destroy one of those floating pillars, you can faintly hear his dying screams. This also implies that at the end of the fight, when you defeat its soul and the heart turns to dust, Haltmann dies with it.
Haltmann doesn't just die, he gets deleted from existence. If there was an afterlife in Kirby, then Haltmann wouldn't be there because his soul got deleted.
The most disturbing about flint's outburst about hinawas death was that, the twins just watched as the man they called a father broke down in violence. Became the first ever criminal in the whole town, just watching the most gentle man they know gone violent
Zant's. Easily. I'll never forget it. You would never expect someone as cute and mischievous as Midna to be capable of that. We all have seen jokes and memes of some super soldier being afraid of his normal wife when "she gets angry" (think Superman being afraid of Lois or Goku afraid of Chi Chi). The wife can't really hurt him, sleeping on the couch only hurts so much. But Midna turns that joke into something genuinely horrific. Midna REALLY IS scary when she is pissed off enough. I can't say I've seen too many women that would kill you by rapidly inflating you til you pop like a balloon. That's pretty messed up. Nintendo has creepy stuff, true, but those are usually more subtle or faked into becoming something scary (Ben). Not this. This is next level.
Actually she just pierce his body, he detonated cause it's usually how the creatures created/dominated by Ganon(Demise/Demon Tribe)'s Malice usually goes after death, the thing that made this visually different from others is that he just sold his soul to this malice instead of been created/corrupted/possessed by it.(Or it's how the Twilis usually go as he was the only Twili that had a on-screen death)
@@Yatanagi_R I am aware of Ganondorf's and Zant's arrangement and I can buy the Twili detonating but Zant is the only one that swells up then pops. He was still alive throughout. I get Ganondorf being the King of Evil, killing his own subordinates is definitely something he would do but here it makes no sense. Zant wasn't exactly spilling the beans then killed. Think of all the games and movies with this exact scenario and the chatterbox is sniped. Zant had time to say everything he wanted, even got that orgasmic "Oooooooh..." out before he died. Ganondorf clearly had no plans to silence him for talking too much. So that's not it. Then the next question is why would Ganondorf kill Zant when Midna is already in the process of murderering him? He can't have it all. If Ganondorf wanted Zant dead, he should have done something before Midna attacked or simply let Midna do what she did. There is zero logic in an offscreen joint attack with Midna to kill Zant because she was doing it anyway. This isn't a Phantom Ganon situation where it was very clear who gave the ending blow. Besides, Zant didn't do the typical Twili "digital pixels" thing until after he was inflated. I still believe Midna did it because again, only Zant was killed this specific way and Midna herself said she only used a fraction of the power that is in her. This to me is a foreshadowing testament to how powerful the Fused Shadow is as we see her use it's full power against Ganondorf, which in turn is made to make Ganondorf look more powerful when he defeats Midna while she is using the Fused Shadow at full power. Too many factors point to her and any Ganondorf ties to wanting Zant dead and to kill him himself makes no sense because Midna was all over that anyway. Ganondorf could do literally nothing and still get what he wanted, a dead Zant. He wasn't there to flex his power then gloat about it, a very Ganondorf thing to do, so what was the point? Lastly, keep in mind this is about who killed Zant not Ganondorf failing to keep his promise to revive Zant forever, if there was even a promise in the first place. Ganondorf not reviving Zant is the only connection possible to his death. I still believe it was all Midna.
@@Ethonra No, what I meant is that when a creature of malice is defeated it explodes, usually in black cinders or dark fog. Not that Ganon kill him. Usually the creature is visible dead when that happens, but with stronger creatures(most bosses) usually that starts to occurs during their last breath. Winch would be his case as I'm pretty sure someone can't survive when all their vital organs got pulverized by magical hair drills.
@@Yatanagi_R I see. That is pretty funny because I already knew that. Ha. Like is said, I was talking about the unique way Zant died. Yes, the others exploded, but only Zant swelled up like a meat balloon then popped, all because of Midna.
@@Ethonra But that's what I said, cause he wasn't created by the malice, he just sell his soul to it. You can say it's kinda like it detonated inside his body instead of the body detonating completely like the other creatures.
When i was first time playing that, i knew absolutely Nothing about it, and judging from the graphics i was thinking it will be kind of Harvest Moon, and after that scene i knew It will be great game
Special mention goes to Barinade from Ocarina of Time, who develops pink polyps all over its core and tentacles when defeated before exploding in a pretty grotesque fashion.
Worst part is that it clashes so hard with them They had never lost someone like that. Their village was so devoid of danger or stress that they lived in constant bliss. And one day his wife dies and his son then goes missing for years, until he finds him and... I get teary eyed just remembering, that game hits hard
TPs Ganondorf was too much of a badass. So much he refuses to fall down when actually finished off by Zant. He just stood there, dying, then stood there in death
I'd say it's disturbing. At the very least, disturbing for Nintendo. You have a nice beautiful family suddenly lose their mother. The father goes mad, and starts beating up close family friends right in front of his two little children. We've just been desensitized, but this is indeed disturbing.
Pretty much every Fire Emblem game has at least one death that could make this list. Just off the top of my head: - The deaths of Eliwood's father and Ninian in Blazing Blade - Finding and subsequently killing Orson's zombified wife (though it happens offscreen) in Sacred Stones - Greil's death in Path of Radiance
Every Nintendo death I felt like should have been included: Ryoma’s death (Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest) The souls of the Yiga being absorbed by Astor (Age of Calamity) Astor being absorbed by Harbinger Ganon (Age of Calamity)
@@ggjcggg Really tough call. Hinawa’s is more sudden and the spark for most events of this heartbreaking game, but Claus’s is more solemn and symbolic. It’s extremely close, but I do think Hinawa’s is sadder solely because it wasn’t necessary to stop Porky’s plans, while Claus’s death was the symbol that his plans had been foiled.
@@terk383 good point. For me, I choose Clause. I don't have any real big reasons apart from the fact that Claus hears Hinawa call out to him before making his final move.
@@enigmatic2878Claus got kidnapped, brainwashed, and turned into a cyborg against his will. Lucas having to fight his missing twin brother and dealing the final blow on him was very heartbreaking. I would be bawling my eyes out if I was forced to fight against someone I love.
:( It looks like we ran into a hyper-corruption problem and now your game needs to restart. This issue may be caused by neglect of your Samus. Error code: TERMINAL_CORRUPTION_03
I'm honestly really surprised that Crocomire's death isn't in here. As a kid seeing Crocomire fall into the lava and his flesh MELTING off of his bones was really shocking.
@@wingedcrim7489 yeah all he wanted was gis daughter back, only to be corrupted into the code of the very thing he brought into existence, not knowing that Susie is his child, I felt bad having to destroy the heart core but there was nothing we could do to salvage him as he gives agonized cries each time we strike the core, especially that last one
Glad you didn't forget Dark Samus, she's such an underrated Nintendo villain, the way she brainwashed the hunters then proceeded to kill them in front of Samus as if she was just toying with them is pretty brutal, and shows how much more intelligent she got between Echoes and Corruption, another noteworthy death is in Corruption when Samus gets 100% Corrupted she basically becomes another Dark Samus, not really violent or graphic but the implications are scary.
I think Ganondorfs death from Wind Waker should be in the video. How Link puts his sword in Ganons head is still very cruel and disturbing. Especially for kids.
The wind waker one definitely got me as a kid. It was the first time I saw a death that was literal and not "then he was banished", or "then he disappeared in a poof of smoke"
I agree that Rundas' death was more brutal, but I would say Gandrayda's is worse. She seemed to have some sort of history/rivalry with Samus. When she morphed into Samus and reached out for her in her last moments... and Samus couldn't bear to watch... it was kinda chilling.
Rundas was a close friend of Samus' he didn't just die, he was close to escaping Dark Samus' hold until she turned his power against him and thus killing him. You can briefly see him win back control only to immediatly be killed.
I know you already had 2 from Twilight Princess, but I personally would've added a third: Link falling in lava. Still makes me wince to this day. The way he slowly sinks into the lava while screaming bloody murder, while at the same time desperately raising a hand up trying to grab onto something or someone... It's pretty brutal.
Yeah gotta admit, the 2 Twilight Princess deaths that stuck with me are Zant getting ballooned by Midna and Link landing in lava. After he fell the first time, I tried my best to prevent him from falling in again
Hinawa's death in Mother 3 is by far the most disturbing good news bad news joke ever. And easily the second most disturbing death in any video game I've played. Third place isn't even remotely close. Also, first place goes to Mother 3. Don't spoil it for yourself. Go play Mother 3. Laugh. Cry. Laugh some more. Then cry until you have no tears left.
Don't forget incineration from lava. In Metroid: Other M, if Samus dies in lava, she'll sink in while reaching her arm out. She'll just sink until she's gone. Melted. Deleter shoots K.G. with his Freeze Gun and throws him into lava too. You can see K.G.'s body in Deleter's visor as he splashes into the molten rock. Oof...
Mother 3 never fails to make me feel happiness, sadness, and anger. happiness for how well done the story and gamplay are. sadness for the loss and collateral damage that was displayed. and anger towards the one behind it all.
Fire Emblem must have a lot of gruesome deaths. The 3 lords of FE4 has it really rough: - Eldigan was beheaded by his own king - Quan and his wife were ambushed and killed by Travant, while their daughter was kidnapped by him - The infamous Massacre of Belhalla where Sigurd's army were slaughtered by their own country, and Sigurd was personally burnt alive by Arvis via Valflame, while learning his missing wife became Arvis' wife. Playing Three Houses - Serios killed Nemesis with brutal stabbings, - Victims of TWSITD were either experiments or replaced by a member to infiltrate Fodlan, - Remire Village turned mad and killed each other in gruesome ways, - Dimitri crushed a soldiers skull with one hand upon learning the Flame Emperor's true identity. - Three Hopes Dimitri publicly executes his uncle, where you can see his lifeless corpse. Yeesh, Dimitri is one brutal lord
I'm seeing a theme with this and the other comments. I guess fire emblem and metroid are nintendo's violent break from having to make cartoony characters all day Or an excuse to make more adult oriented content instead of constant 8 year old gameplay
That last one from Mother 3 is just the worst. Oh my gosh! I don't know much about that game but apparently google suggests it hasn't been rated by ESRB?
I thought the castlevania announcement trailer for Smash Ultimate where the Grim Reaper steals Luigi's soul was a bit more of a disturbing death than the Ridley announcement trailer, but that's just my opinion.
I wouldn't say it was a disturbing death but man, Ravenbeaks death scene in Metroid Dread was pretty intense. Not just because Samus basically became a metroid in that instance and sucked the life out of him but also seeing her become totally unhinged, screaming wildly with rage, it's a side of Samus that's never been seen before.
I was playing through Mother 3 on the website Snokido and I named the mother's name the same as my mom's name, so the death scene was VERY emotional for me.
Even though it's a paper universe, I found the Scissors' Final Cut attack absolutely brutal along with the fact that it deals 999 dmg (this also applies to King Olly's blade attacks). All you get to see is a red screen and Mario's silhouette slowly splitting in half.
Great list. I think I’d honestly replace Himawa with the final boss, and Emmeryn could probably stay, but I think what happens to Edelgard in 2 routes are pretty disturbing
I wouldn't say Planet Robobot's ending is disturbing? The robobot armor just sends Kirby home and sheds a few tears at having to say goodbye. That's not creepy that's just sweet! Same with Mario Galaxy; the lumas stop the black hole from destroying the universe and then become brand new galaxies, stars, and planets. It's just like Rosalina says, "When stars die, they turn to stardust and scatter across the cosmos. Eventually, that stardust reforms to create a new star... And so the cycle of life continues." Though yeah, that Mario Party minigame is a bit messed up, but then again there's a few different minigames like that. It's not like Mario needed his bones anyways :)
Why was Emmeryn mentioned. In Fire Emblem Awakening, Chrom, Robin, and Lissa are meant to believe that Emmeryn died, but she eventually washed ashore with amnesia in a StreetPass Paralogue, surviving her attempt at suicide to save Ylisse.
Umm... that scene of Emmeryn attempt to suicide herself in order to protect her siblings, she didn't actually died. She survived from the fall 2 years later and she did lost her memory as well, Chrom founded her in the her own Spotpass Paralogue Chapter where she gets recruited as a playable character.
I think that Nemesis' death in the beginning of Three Houses where Seiros stabs him several times and screaming at him definitely should have been on the list, it's not sad like some that are on the list, but it is pretty disturbing and mature, especially when you add that it's one of the first full scenes you see after starting the game.
Why isn’t Fire Emblem Three Houses up there? There are two deaths that I remember: the opening cutscene and the one where Monica/Kronya stabs Jeralt (twice because Byleth used the Divine Pulse)
Wait, seriously? Emmeryn's sacrifice was the Fire Emblem "death?" It wasn't even really a death in the usual sense. Why not Ephidel being incinerated alive by the expanding power of a Fire Dragon, Myrrh's father being zombified, or that generic soldier who got his head crushed with Dimitri's bare hand?
@@AzumarillConGafasBv Oh definitely. Of course, it probably isn't helped much by the relatively simple cutscenes of the era, leaving much of the tragedy up to player imagination, but still. I always remember that image of a bloodied and heartbroken Arden holding the corpse of Sigurd in his arms amidst the chaos.
That scene from mother 3 made me kind of laugh when I first played it. what went through my mind was "if someone is hitting people with a stick, hit him with a bigger stick" It shouldn't have been funny at that part, but it was.
4:46 r.o.b: wait master what about us 6:01 Adelaide: what am I doing wrong, samus you're my master tell me why can't I do it Samus: you can, you just need the right motivation that's all, yeah for me it's simple all I had to do was think of how ridley killed rokkuman and Mario
Would any of these qualify? - Kamek (Paper Mario: Sticker Star) - Raven Beak (Metroid Dread) - several Adrestian soldiers at Dimitri's hands (Fire Emblem: Three Houses) - Patroka and Akhos (Xenoblade Chronicles 2) - any Aberrations (Astral Chain) - Shania (Xenoblade Chronicles 3) - Skelter Helter (No More Heroes 2) (if we're just going by Nintendo-only releases) - Paradox Bandit (No More Heroes 3)
Pyribbit from Kirby Triple Deluxe had a pretty disturbing death. It starts drowning in the lava before being forced under by 3 giant rocks before a fourth one crushes it to death at the bottom.
Twilight princess: showed someone getting impaled by hair and having Gannon have a sword stick out of his chest Botw: "No the yiga clan are people even if they killed some guy's wife and are constantly trying to kill you and basically anyone they see so no you can't kill them"
In fire emblem three houses seiros stabs nemesis with a knife multiple times and nemesis dies with his blood spilled around him. For context, FE as series is known in the community for having some dark stuff in the lore, not everything is shown graphically in game, but some stuff is explained through text boxes or implied. Nemesis getting stabbed to death is shown in the opening cutscene, wich i think can be a candidate. FE aside i think that some of link's deaths in zelda ocarina of time are kinda disturbing too
The way the sound goes silent when Hinawas death is told of... The way Flint punches the ground... The way he loses his mind in rage, attacking people he knows... Its all so real.
I wanted to include Bobby from Paper Mario: The Origami King here as a sad death but I sadly lost my footage of the game.
BTW, that Mario Party minigame is here because the entire thing resembles a trap out of a Saw movie.
aw man that sucks, RIP Bobby though.
Bobby really was missing. I had so much tears in my eyes and I was 16. 😭
You needed the Hyrule Castle Guard's death in Ocarina of Time, but great video nonetheless.
I literally cried when he exploded. He was a hero. 😭
meh, its better to be forgot, because the bo om exploded every time and they dont die, the only way to die is Sick for example scarlet, the wife from the older sailor bo om from paper mario the thousand years door

Have you seen Crocomire's death in super metroid
That is a horrific way to die
I was terrified when I did that because I genuinely thought he was permanently dead
And unlike usual, Bowser actually dies there, then, for the entire rest of the game, Junior carries his father's remains around, trying to revive him.
@@jruler93 makes the story darker than a non game boy light

Flint breaking is so well done
I'd say it's disturbing. At the very least, disturbing for Nintendo. You have a nice beautiful family suddenly lose their mother. The father goes mad, and starts beating up close family friends right in front of his two little children. We've just been desensitized, but this is indeed disturbing.
Nintendo is known for being a kids company but sometimes they just aren’t
They know how to take death seriously when it matters the most. The seriousness of death is something that everyone should know, including children.
Is mentioning that older games had different way of how age rating worked, back in the old days...
Also worth remembering Nintendo is mostly Japanesse. What may appear disturbing for the west may be normal for them.
Btw I learned that before making video Games, they owned Love Hotels I think (not sure if this is true)

Ryoma’s death (Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest)
The souls of the Yiga being absorbed by Astor (Age of Calamity)
Astor being absorbed by Harbinger Ganon (Age of Calamity)
Astor’s slow and painful death by Harbinger Ganon was something to behold for a Nintendo game lol
God, Mother 3 is so depressing. One of the few Nintendo games that have made me cry...
What's more sad, claus' death or hinawas
@@ggjcggg Really tough call. Hinawa’s is more sudden and the spark for most events of this heartbreaking game, but Claus’s is more solemn and symbolic. It’s extremely close, but I do think Hinawa’s is sadder solely because it wasn’t necessary to stop Porky’s plans, while Claus’s death was the symbol that his plans had been foiled.
@@terk383 good point. For me, I choose Clause. I don't have any real big reasons apart from the fact that Claus hears Hinawa call out to him before making his final move.
@@enigmatic2878Claus got kidnapped, brainwashed, and turned into a cyborg against his will. Lucas having to fight his missing twin brother and dealing the final blow on him was very heartbreaking. I would be bawling my eyes out if I was forced to fight against someone I love.
The game over for Metroid prime 3 where Samus gets corrupted freaked me out as a kid.
:( It looks like we ran into a hyper-corruption problem and now your game needs to restart. This issue may be caused by neglect of your Samus. Error code: TERMINAL_CORRUPTION_03
I'm honestly really surprised that Crocomire's death isn't in here. As a kid seeing Crocomire fall into the lava and his flesh MELTING off of his bones was really shocking.
The Mario Galaxy scene isn't death it's both death and rebirth. It's beautiful.
Kind of sounds like something Thanos would say.
It makes me want to Cry every time though
I also thought the luigi's death in the smash trailer was brutal...
The fact Ganon died (?) while he was still standing legit surprised me. This was a death I wasn’t expecting after he got impaled.
I think Haltmann from Planet Robobot had it the worst.
@@wingedcrim7489 yeah all he wanted was gis daughter back, only to be corrupted into the code of the very thing he brought into existence, not knowing that Susie is his child, I felt bad having to destroy the heart core but there was nothing we could do to salvage him as he gives agonized cries each time we strike the core, especially that last one
Glad you didn't forget Dark Samus, she's such an underrated Nintendo villain, the way she brainwashed the hunters then proceeded to kill them in front of Samus as if she was just toying with them is pretty brutal, and shows how much more intelligent she got between Echoes and Corruption, another noteworthy death is in Corruption when Samus gets 100% Corrupted she basically becomes another Dark Samus, not really violent or graphic but the implications are scary.
Grandayda's death was for me the most disturbing of the game, when she shapeshifts in Samus
6:56 is supposed to be emotional but Chuggaaconroy ruined it for me by memeing the "what?" voice line XD
I think Ganondorfs death from Wind Waker should be in the video. How Link puts his sword in Ganons head is still very cruel and disturbing. Especially for kids.
Or when he stuck his sword in Ganon’s mouth in Ocarina of Time
The wind waker one definitely got me as a kid. It was the first time I saw a death that was literal and not "then he was banished", or "then he disappeared in a poof of smoke"
Zelda was watching like "wtaf link!?"
I agree that Rundas' death was more brutal, but I would say Gandrayda's is worse. She seemed to have some sort of history/rivalry with Samus. When she morphed into Samus and reached out for her in her last moments... and Samus couldn't bear to watch... it was kinda chilling.
Rundas was a close friend of Samus' he didn't just die, he was close to escaping Dark Samus' hold until she turned his power against him and thus killing him. You can briefly see him win back control only to immediatly be killed.
I know you already had 2 from Twilight Princess, but I personally would've added a third: Link falling in lava. Still makes me wince to this day. The way he slowly sinks into the lava while screaming bloody murder, while at the same time desperately raising a hand up trying to grab onto something or someone... It's pretty brutal.
Yeah gotta admit, the 2 Twilight Princess deaths that stuck with me are Zant getting ballooned by Midna and Link landing in lava. After he fell the first time, I tried my best to prevent him from falling in again
Hinawa's death in Mother 3 is by far the most disturbing good news bad news joke ever. And easily the second most disturbing death in any video game I've played. Third place isn't even remotely close.
Also, first place goes to Mother 3. Don't spoil it for yourself. Go play Mother 3. Laugh. Cry. Laugh some more. Then cry until you have no tears left.
Don't forget incineration from lava.
In Metroid: Other M, if Samus dies in lava, she'll sink in while reaching her arm out. She'll just sink until she's gone. Melted.
Deleter shoots K.G. with his Freeze Gun and throws him into lava too. You can see K.G.'s body in Deleter's visor as he splashes into the molten rock.
Oof...
Haze’s death was always sad to watch especially after Golden Country. Jin’s eyes also always gets me.
It hurts
Mother 3 never fails to make me feel happiness, sadness, and anger.
happiness for how well done the story and gamplay are. sadness for the loss and collateral damage that was displayed. and anger towards the one behind it all.
Fire Emblem must have a lot of gruesome deaths.
The 3 lords of FE4 has it really rough:
- Eldigan was beheaded by his own king
- Quan and his wife were ambushed and killed by Travant, while their daughter was kidnapped by him
- The infamous Massacre of Belhalla where Sigurd's army were slaughtered by their own country, and Sigurd was personally burnt alive by Arvis via Valflame, while learning his missing wife became Arvis' wife.
Playing Three Houses
- Serios killed Nemesis with brutal stabbings,
- Victims of TWSITD were either experiments or replaced by a member to infiltrate Fodlan,
- Remire Village turned mad and killed each other in gruesome ways,
- Dimitri crushed a soldiers skull with one hand upon learning the Flame Emperor's true identity.
- Three Hopes Dimitri publicly executes his uncle, where you can see his lifeless corpse. Yeesh, Dimitri is one brutal lord
I'm seeing a theme with this and the other comments.
I guess fire emblem and metroid are nintendo's violent break from having to make cartoony characters all day
Or an excuse to make more adult oriented content instead of constant 8 year old gameplay
Mother 3 is definitely the most disturbing one in my opinions. Because Flint's family abandoned him.
Also Claus commits s word
What would you have the boys do? Tessie literally held them it's not like they could say or do anything
Fiora’s death was pretty gruesome tbh
Yea especially after seeing her blood on metals face hand. I truly despise that man
I’m so glad you put the ROBs in here… That scene hit me in the feels as a child lol
That last one from Mother 3 is just the worst. Oh my gosh! I don't know much about that game but apparently google suggests it hasn't been rated by ESRB?
It never really officially came out to the US and this was done by fans on translation. So there is no rating from them until it ever does come out.
that is also the same game where you get launched off a mountain inside a flying fridge
@@user-dqxrbpx and the same game where your brother kills themself
@Ur Money Lol Claus?
I'd argue Ryoma's in Fire Emblem Fates was pretty bad, it would be bad enough if it was just any sword but no, it's Raijinto
The mario galaxy ending made me cry like a baby omg. Seeing the lumas sacrificing themselves to save the universe
me too
Despite not having played, i think i cried a bit as a kid, the first time i saw it...
@@MiltreloVODS69 with the song while the lumas die omg that's just sad to watch 😭😭😭😭
@@IvanFranco120 it's fine. Either way we all cried
@@gamerbunnie Yeah, because of the music also...😓
I thought the castlevania announcement trailer for Smash Ultimate where the Grim Reaper steals Luigi's soul was a bit more of a disturbing death than the Ridley announcement trailer, but that's just my opinion.
Fan's death is 1000x sadder if you played Torna.
2:41 that scene in fire emblem awakening made me cry😔
I wouldn't say it was a disturbing death but man, Ravenbeaks death scene in Metroid Dread was pretty intense. Not just because Samus basically became a metroid in that instance and sucked the life out of him but also seeing her become totally unhinged, screaming wildly with rage, it's a side of Samus that's never been seen before.
The part where he just casually rips off his other wing while staring at u..
I was playing through Mother 3 on the website Snokido and I named the mother's name the same as my mom's name, so the death scene was VERY emotional for me.
Even though it's a paper universe, I found the Scissors' Final Cut attack absolutely brutal along with the fact that it deals 999 dmg (this also applies to King Olly's blade attacks).
All you get to see is a red screen and Mario's silhouette slowly splitting in half.
Great list. I think I’d honestly replace Himawa with the final boss, and Emmeryn could probably stay, but I think what happens to Edelgard in 2 routes are pretty disturbing
You mean when she was stabbed by Dimitri in Azure Moon and when she got her head cut off by Byleth in Silver Snow and Verdant Wind?
Some of these were honestly unexpected
At least i didn't know MP9 had an such death like that...(?)
Jeralt's death in Fire Emblem Three Houses was also super sad
You could've shown SM64DS where every character has the same drowning animation as Mario from the OG.
Yeah...
I wouldn't say Planet Robobot's ending is disturbing? The robobot armor just sends Kirby home and sheds a few tears at having to say goodbye. That's not creepy that's just sweet!
Same with Mario Galaxy; the lumas stop the black hole from destroying the universe and then become brand new galaxies, stars, and planets. It's just like Rosalina says, "When stars die, they turn to stardust and scatter across the cosmos. Eventually, that stardust reforms to create a new star... And so the cycle of life continues."
Though yeah, that Mario Party minigame is a bit messed up, but then again there's a few different minigames like that. It's not like Mario needed his bones anyways :)
3:56 idk the lore but THAT ISN'T A HUMAN HEART
Mabey, it is something about metroid dna.
The heart looks like a shoe XD
As someone that lost a person close to me, chrom’s sister’s death is very emotional and traumatic
That Fire Emblem one was so emotional
bro really put a mario party mini game death as a disturbing death 💀 💀
6:50 well mario isnt really dead but is rather very hurt and has a lof of bones broken
Mario dying electrocuted in Super Mario Galaxy, is also quite disturbing.
Or dying to the antimatter stuff. He just fuckin disintegrates into black dust from the bottom up with disturbing sound effects.
4:56 makes me think of when everyone runs away from galeem, but still gets killed basically
The sound suddenly cutting off for Ganon was really cool.
The Mother 3 one wasn't disturbing, is was a punch in the heart. Half that game is, ESPECIALLY the ending.
Why was Emmeryn mentioned. In Fire Emblem Awakening, Chrom, Robin, and Lissa are meant to believe that Emmeryn died, but she eventually washed ashore with amnesia in a StreetPass Paralogue, surviving her attempt at suicide to save Ylisse.
Umm... that scene of Emmeryn attempt to suicide herself in order to protect her siblings, she didn't actually died. She survived from the fall 2 years later and she did lost her memory as well, Chrom founded her in the her own Spotpass Paralogue Chapter where she gets recruited as a playable character.
i love how link just stares at ganon in severe pain
3:30 rated E for everyone
Fire Emblem Awakening is rated T for Teens
Yeah i know but sometimes games be like that
I think. ._.
What is the rating for the box art in the EU version?
@@IvanFranco120 12
You should’ve included Crocomire’s death from Super Metroid. His death was honestly brutal for Super Nintendo graphics.
I think that Nemesis' death in the beginning of Three Houses where Seiros stabs him several times and screaming at him definitely should have been on the list, it's not sad like some that are on the list, but it is pretty disturbing and mature, especially when you add that it's one of the first full scenes you see after starting the game.
the fact they managed to give GBA sprites of Flint some of the realest reaction to his wife's death is truly great art direction
It makes sense that Zane and ganon got a more gruesome death cause the game was intended for a more mature audience
6:27 That wasn't disturbing at all. Because it's just crushed into paper.
Then what is it?
5:15 truly heartbreaking
No pun intended
5:20 haltman got destroyed across time abd space just like gaster
9:48 when the dude gives the bad news and the two kids are still smiling.
Lol
Was no one else completely disturbed by the Game Over screen in Metroid Prime 2?
Only a bit...
Why isn’t Fire Emblem Three Houses up there? There are two deaths that I remember: the opening cutscene and the one where Monica/Kronya stabs Jeralt (twice because Byleth used the Divine Pulse)
i remember sobbing to Emmeryn’s death in FE13 it was so painful
Wait, seriously? Emmeryn's sacrifice was the Fire Emblem "death?" It wasn't even really a death in the usual sense. Why not Ephidel being incinerated alive by the expanding power of a Fire Dragon, Myrrh's father being zombified, or that generic soldier who got his head crushed with Dimitri's bare hand?
Yeah... This channel didnt really recognize fire emblem for its content, and is a shame bc Fire emblrm have a lot like the other francise :/
And what about Fire Emblem 4 deaths?, let's remember that Sigurd and his fellow army were burnt alive, and even some of them survived that
@@AzumarillConGafasBv Oh definitely. Of course, it probably isn't helped much by the relatively simple cutscenes of the era, leaving much of the tragedy up to player imagination, but still. I always remember that image of a bloodied and heartbroken Arden holding the corpse of Sigurd in his arms amidst the chaos.
I thought she didn't die though so does it even count for fire emblem?
@@HorrorGuy96 I don't think those season pass chapters are canon. It's similar to how you can use some villains in FE8.
7:52. Always cried, always tried to hold it in, but it's always too much for me. It feels like there is some connection to the Lumas to me.
Me too
0:10 to 0:13
Zant: * small little singing for like 3 seconds *
Midna: * proceeds to literally murder him and explode his body *
That scene from mother 3 made me kind of laugh when I first played it. what went through my mind was "if someone is hitting people with a stick, hit him with a bigger stick"
It shouldn't have been funny at that part, but it was.
Now I wanna see Ganon's death in TP with Gangsta Paradise's chorus
Those gave kids nightmares before went, "JESUS CHRIST!!!"
4:46 r.o.b: wait master what about us
6:01 Adelaide: what am I doing wrong, samus you're my master tell me why can't I do it
Samus: you can, you just need the right motivation that's all, yeah for me it's simple all I had to do was think of how ridley killed rokkuman and Mario
6:44 By far the most disturbing death, this is where men cry.
Would any of these qualify?
- Kamek (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)
- Raven Beak (Metroid Dread)
- several Adrestian soldiers at Dimitri's hands (Fire Emblem: Three Houses)
- Patroka and Akhos (Xenoblade Chronicles 2)
- any Aberrations (Astral Chain)
- Shania (Xenoblade Chronicles 3)
- Skelter Helter (No More Heroes 2) (if we're just going by Nintendo-only releases)
- Paradox Bandit (No More Heroes 3)
6:27 I loved that mini game, but I never thought about how dangerous the game would be if it happened in real life (basically you get crushed.)
Ganondorfs death scene in twighlight is far funnier then it should be
Midna be like: Welcome to deviantart
🙃
WHOA WHOA WHOA
I'd say the 10,000+ Octolings getting put in a blender in the deepsea metro should rank pretty high
Pyribbit from Kirby Triple Deluxe had a pretty disturbing death. It starts drowning in the lava before being forced under by 3 giant rocks before a fourth one crushes it to death at the bottom.
I had to reset Mother 3 three times due to saving file problems, and I cried everytime when I get at that moment.
I freaking love that game
7:39 I can't take him seriously when it sounds like he's about to say the "I can't believe you've done this" vine
This video doesn't have a single Astral Chain clip in it and that's a crime
Zant & Ganon - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that ganondorf ever died and he is died poor ganondorf
Twilight princess: showed someone getting impaled by hair and having Gannon have a sword stick out of his chest
Botw: "No the yiga clan are people even if they killed some guy's wife and are constantly trying to kill you and basically anyone they see so no you can't kill them"
In fire emblem three houses seiros stabs nemesis with a knife multiple times and nemesis dies with his blood spilled around him.
For context, FE as series is known in the community for having some dark stuff in the lore, not everything is shown graphically in game, but some stuff is explained through text boxes or implied. Nemesis getting stabbed to death is shown in the opening cutscene, wich i think can be a candidate.
FE aside i think that some of link's deaths in zelda ocarina of time are kinda disturbing too
it seeems pretty out of place for nintendo to show someone committing suicide, right? 3:20
The way the sound goes silent when Hinawas death is told of...
The way Flint punches the ground...
The way he loses his mind in rage, attacking people he knows...
Its all so real.
