"'''{{wp|Game over|Game Over}}'''" is a message used in video games when the player has run out of lives or chances. However, nonstandard Game Overs are sometimes used to punish specific mistakes. The Game Over screen differs from game to game, but the text is usually set against a blank screen. After a Game Over, the player is typically given an option to restart the game from the last save point. However, many games from earlier {{wp|History of video games|hardware generations}} lack saving functionality, requiring the games to be restarted from the beginning.
"'''{{wp|Game over|Game Over}}'''" is a message used in video games when the player has run out of lives or chances, or when players complete a game.

In the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], the "Game Over" message has seen several variations, and it has even been used in-universe as a euphemism for death.

''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' and the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' are the only games in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] thus far not to include a Game Over, as there are no lives or [[1-Up Mushroom]]s in the games, with typical life-loss being replaced by a 10- and 50-[[coin]] deduction, respectively.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', receiving a Game Over returns the player to the map, while a light-blue rectangle appears with the words "Game Over," with a "dead" Mario or Luigi to the left of the two choices, "CONTINUE" and "END." If the player chooses to continue, Mario is sent back to the beginning of the world, and all cleared levels, [[Toad House]]s, and [[Spade Panel]]s are reset to as if they were incomplete, though [[fortress]]es, [[Enemy Course]]s, and locked doors remain completed/unlocked; the player's life counter resets to four lives, the player's score resets to zero, and the player loses all of their end-of-level [[card]]s. Ending the game either sends the player back to the title screen in single-player mode or allows the other player to continue alone in multiplayer mode.

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]]'', a Game Over means the player will restart only the level they were playing). Regardless of which game is being played, the player has unlimited continues and three choices: "CONTINUE," "SAVE & CONTINUE," and "SAVE & QUIT" (the only exception is when one player gets a Game Over in two-player mode, in which only two 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 two-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 that of the title screen. This screen also appears for [[warp]]ing, but it instead says "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 rectangular box with a "dead" [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] in between the "Game Over" words, rather than at the left like in the NES version.

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
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 a much faster manner (in translated versions, the "Too Bad!" graphic says "Arrivederci," Italian for "goodbye"; in the Japanese version, however, it says "Miss!" instead). Mario also says something, such as ''"The horror!"'', ''"Arrivederci!"'', or simply ''"Mamma mia!"'' The Game Over graphic is red. Following the Game Over, the player is asked if they can either continue from the last save point or return to the title screen. Continuing results in Mario abruptly returning to [[Delfino Plaza]] with his life counter reset to three. However, there is an exception. If the player loses a life when the life counter is greater than zero, the animation differs. If Mario falls into a [[pit|bottomless pit]], the game ends with the screen having an {{wp|iris shot|iris-out}} effect; in all other cases, the screen goes black like a paintbrush painting the screen black stroke by stroke.

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Mario's face does not appear. Also, the background is a dark-gray gradient instead of red and without text reading "Game Over." Instead, the purple words "GAME OVER" slide into place from either side of the top screen, similarly to ''[[Super Mario World]]'', though in the same font as the title uses.

In the [[Toad (species)|Toad]]'s [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]] minigames, the Game Over screen appears with wiggling purple letters right after a game ends, except in games where a different scenario occurs.

====''Super Mario Galaxy'' / ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
====''Super Mario Galaxy'' / ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' share almost the same Game Over look with ''Super Mario Sunshine''; if [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] loses his last life, the Game Over graphic shows instead of the "Too Bad!" sequence (in the Japanese version, however, the "Too Bad!" sequence is "Miss!" instead). There is an exception: If a player gets a Game Over because of losing to [[Cosmic Mario]] in the first game, the "You Lose" sign appears as usual before the Game Over graphic appears. Notably, if a player gets a Game Over another way, such as losing to the [[penguin]]s in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]] or the [[Spooky Speedster]] in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]] or [[Boo's Boneyard Galaxy]] in the first game, or failing [[The Chimp]]'s challenges he requested via [[letter|mail]] in the second game, Mario does his normal death animation instead of the one exclusive to such deaths. The Game Over graphic is purple in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and yellow in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', and in the latter, the text is slightly bigger. During [[Green Star]] missions in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', the background is green instead of black. Upon getting a Game Over in the first game, the player is asked to save before going back to the title screen, whereas in the second game, they return to [[Starship Mario]].

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', just like in previous games, the Game Over screen appears just before the Continue screen, except this time the words "GAME OVER" appear in purple. In multiplayer, if some (but not all) players get a Game Over, no GAME OVER signs appear at all; instead, the Continue screen appears before returning to the world map, and any eliminated player has their life counter reset to five lives. A GAME OVER sign also appears if the player fails [[Boost Rush]].

The Game Over animation is different in ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'', appearing letter by letter. The Continue screen is also different: The continue count is white with a black outline instead of purple, purple smoke no longer appears every time the player continues, and some sound effects were changed.

''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' have the same Game Over screen and concept as ''Super Mario 3D Land'', except it has a red background with a brown Game Over sign, and selecting "Continue" causes all Toad Houses and [[Lucky House]]s to reopen. Like in previous games, when "Quit" is selected, the player is sent back to the title screen. In multiplayer, if a course is cleared when players are out on their last lives, no Game Overs happen; all players out are revived when returning to the world map, and the life counter increases by five for each eliminated player in the level. When getting a Game Over, Mario says, ''"Oh, mama mia!"''; Luigi groans, ''"No, nooo! Oh..."''; [[Rosalina]] moans, ''"Oh, no…"''; and [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Toad]] cry in disappointment. When continuing after a Game Over, Mario says, ''"All right!"''; Luigi says, ''"C'mon!"''; Peach says, ''"It's on!"''; and Rosalina says, ''"Never give up!"''

The Kongs look around fearfully while the two Painguin Tucks repress them with their spears. Choosing to continue the game makes the Kongs suddenly break out of the ice cube, scaring the Painguin Tucks away. A loading screen commences, leading to the world map, where the Kongs are replenished with four [[Red Balloon]]s. However, if the player chooses to quit the game while on the Game Over screen, the Painguin Tucks will jump in the air, rejoicing, as the Kongs look down despondent. If the player selects the same save file afterwards, they will be greeted by [[Funky Kong]] via a message window, stating that he offers four Red Balloons "on the house" to help them continue their gameplay.

The presence of any of Donkey Kong's partners within the ice cube depends on who accompanied him while the player lost their last life during gameplay. On [[Hard Mode]], only the Kong that was played as when the last life was lost appears inside the ice cube.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', a Game Over happens only during a battle when the party runs out of [[Heart Point|HP]] and is [[down]]ed. The message "Game over...!" shows on the top of the screen with the music slowing down in speed and pitch. If a save is present, the game returns to the last location where the [[Save Block]] was used, retaining only the [[Experience Point]]s obtained from previous battles for the party. Otherwise, the game goes to the file-selection screen. In the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], the screen fades to black after a Game Over happens, with the exception of the player. Additionally, the text now reads, "Game over!" without the ellipsis, and a Toad provides a gameplay tip afterward.

In ''Super Paper Mario'', a Game Over is the equivalent of death, as extra lives make "death" a mild inconvenience.<ref>A Shayde: "Huh? What'd you say?

Mario, Luigi, and Bowser end up in The Underwhere, which resembles {{wp|hell}}, where some [[Shayde]]s ask Mario how his "game," referring to his life, was. Also, many Shaydes can be seen discussing how they got a Game Over. [[The Overthere]] resembles {{wp|heaven}}, surrounded by clouds, the sun, and rainbows. Princess Peach ends up there.
That said, all the conversations in The Underwhere seem to suggest that Shaydes can request an audience with Queen Jaydes, who will weigh in their sins and send them to The Overthere, submit them to punishments befitting of their crimes, or even return them to the land of the playing if the situation calls it.
The areas of The Underwhere or The Overthere where Jaydes sends the dead people are never clearly shown; all that are seen in The Underwhere are Shaydes that have not yet requested an audience with Jaydes, and [[D-Man|D-Men]] who work for her, while all that are seen in The Overthere are [[Nimbi]]s (and [[Skellobit]]s that are invading). It is implied that the dead villains are condemned to an area below The Underwhere, where [[Bonechill]] was also imprisoned before he escaped. It is possible that the paradise dimension witnessed at the end credits may be an area of The Overthere, though what [[Nastasia]] says seems to suggest otherwise.<ref>Princess Peach: Both [[Tippi]] and Count Bleck...gone. What could have happened to them?<br>[[Merlon]]: I shudder to think about it, but surely when the prophecy was nullified...<br>Nastasia: Um, no... They're alive. Yeah, they're finally united. They overcame time and fulfilled their old vows... Somewhere, the count...is living together with Tippi... in...um...happiness...</ref>
One Shayde speculates that if a person dies in The Underwhere or The Overthere while already dead, their aftergame ends and they go to a "post-aftergame."
When Count Bleck was using [[The Void]] to destroy all worlds, The Void also appeared in The Overthere, indicating that it would even destroy the aftergame. Where all the dead characters (or even all the characters altogether) would have gone following the aftergame's destruction is unknown; however, a young [[Flip-Flop Folk|Flip-Flop]] girl speculates that the souls of the deceased would be forced to drift aimlessly in the [[World of Nothing|empty white space]] left behind by The Void due to being left without a world or aftergame to reside in, a fate deemed both sad and boring.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', the Game Over sign appears briefly before the "Continue?" screen, using a blue color. However, unlike in the previous three games, the announcer no longer says, ''"Game over,"'' during the screen, nor does the jingle from ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' play; instead, the "Continue?" screen jingle plays consistently. In Classic Mode, failure causes some of the player's rewards, including gold, to be lost, and by continuing, the intensity lowers by .5, unless the intensity level is set at 2.0 or below. Additionally, continues are no longer possible in the All-Star mode; the game cuts directly to the results screen and takes the player back to the character-selection screen.

If the player chooses not to continue, they are simply returned to the Games & More submenu; if this happens from Stage 3 onward, the Final Results screen is shown as well.

What could have happened to them?<br>[[Merlon]]: I shudder to think about it, but surely when the prophecy was nullified...<br>Nastasia: Um, no... They're alive. Yeah, they're finally united. They overcame time and fulfilled their old vows... Somewhere, the count...is living together with Tippi... in...um...happiness...</ref>
One Shayde speculates that if a person dies in The Underwhere or The Overthere while already dead, their aftergame ends and they go to a "post-aftergame."
When [[Count Bleck]] was using [[The Void]] to destroy all worlds, The Void also appeared in The Overthere, indicating that it would even destroy the aftergame. Where all the dead characters (or even all the characters altogether) would have gone following the aftergame's destruction is unknown; however, a young [[Flip-Flop Folk|Flip-Flop]] girl speculates that the souls of the deceased would be forced to drift aimlessly in the empty white space left behind by The Void due to being left without a world or aftergame to reside in, a fate deemed both sad and boring.
