Game Over: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', if both Mario and Luigi reach zero [[Heart Point|HP]] in battle, a rounded-curved red "Game Over" text appears and the last Mario Bro. to fall says, ''"Mama mia!"'' Since defeating [[Queen Bean]], the player has an option to continue the game from the last save point or from [[Beanbean Castle]]; the Continue screen depicts a desk with a sign reading "GAME OVER," and the latter choice does not revert playtime to when the game is last saved. Another Game Over can occur if the player runs out of time escaping [[Bowser's Castle]] after defeating [[Cackletta]]: The screen shakes, followed by a scene of the castle in the sky exploding and the screen turning completely red. The game then immediately takes the player back to their last save point.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the Game Over text is completely blue, resembling the one from ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''. ''"Mama mia!"'' can be heard just like in the original (though both Mario Bros. say it instead of the last brother to fall in battle), and the screen's iris-out effect focuses on the two brothers. An arrangement of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' death jingle also plays. The player is given a chance to either try again or use Easy Mode, like in ''Dream Team'' and ''Paper Jam''. Another Game Over can occur if the player runs out of time escaping Bowser's Castle after defeating Cackletta: The screen shakes, followed by a scene of the castle in the sky exploding and the screen turning black. The game then immediately takes the player back to the title screen. In ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', if the player's captain is defeated, a red "DEFEATED" text appears instead. Hints also appear, instructing the player on how to lead their squad to victory.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', the font for the Game Over text is similar to the one used in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', though using a white coloration with a cyan gradient. The Game Over sequence is similar to the one in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', with the arrangement of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' death jingle playing and both brothers saying, ''"Mama mia!"'' with a screen iris-out effect focusing on them. When the player gets a Game Over while playing as Bowser, the Game Over sequence is identical to the one used for the brothers, though Bowser can be heard groaning disappointingly. In ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', a different Game Over screen occurs when [[Bowser Jr.]] is defeated, with the text "DEFEATED" appearing in red, similar to the one used in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''.
