Game Over: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', a Game Over means the player will restart from the world they lost in (however in [[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|the ''Lost Levels'' version of the game]] a Game Over means the player will ''only'' restart the level they were playing). Regardless of which game is being played, the player has unlimited continues and 3 choices: "CONTINUE", "SAVE & CONTINUE" & "SAVE & QUIT" (the only exception is when one player gets a game over in 2-player mode, in which only 2 choices are present: "CONTINUE" and "QUIT", the latter choice dropping them out for the remainder of the session). In ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', a Game Over sign appears at the top of the screen (in 2-player mode, the character who got the Game Over also appears). In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', a Game Over sign appears with [[Birdo]] in it, with the design similar to the title screen. This same screen also appeared for warping, but it instead said "WARP" and the world number that the player is going to. If played in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the Game Over screen shows a blue rectangle box with a "dead" [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] in between the "Game Over" words.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the Game Over graphic follows the "Too Bad!" sequence if Mario loses his last life with a small transitional animation, which is later recycled in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' (in translated versions, the "Too Bad!" graphic says "Arrivederci", Italian for "goodbye". In the Japanese version, however, it says "Miss!" instead). Mario will also say something, such as "The horror!" or "Oh no!" The Game Over sign is red. Following the Game Over, the player is asked if (s)he could either continue from the last save point or return to the title screen. Continuing would result in Mario abruptly returning to Delfino Plaza with his life-counter reset to three.

In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', when a game over occurs, instead of the usual game over sign, the text will read, "Good night!" as if Luigi has fainted and/or fallen asleep. In the first game, when a game over occurs, the player will be taken back to the title screen, but in the sequel, the player is asked if they will restart to the beginning of the mission or return to the [[Bunker]]; however, in ScareScraper, when the player(s) fail(s) a floor, a game over occurs, but it will read, "Game Over" instead of the usual "Good night!" If playing local or download play, the host (player) will be asked if they can play again. The [[List of Luigi's Mansion pre-release and unused content|''Luigi's Mansion'' unused Game Over]] is the same as the final. The only difference is that there's no music.
