Mario is Dead
Mario dies a lot. Players around the world have been guiding Mario to death for over 30 years. But the player always jumps to a new timeline with a new Mario ready to go. What about all those timelines where Mario died? How do the inhabitants of the mushroom kingdom grieve the loss of their hero?

Mario dies all the time in his games. He falls down pits, he gets chomped by evil plants, he slips on turtle shells, etc.

crossed out missing?
Mario is Missing is a game from the 90s. The opening screen of my game is a direct parody of the Mario is Missing box art. In this universe, he was missing for a while, but then they found his body…
I was happy until I played this... now I don't know if life is worth living
:'(
