Game Over: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', when the player runs out of lives, the [[level]] turns into a black background with the words "GAME OVER" (as well as the name of the character who received the Game Over in multiplayer mode, either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]), while the HUD is still present; after the Game Over, the player is sent back to the title screen, where they have to start over from the beginning at [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. If Mario or Luigi [[Time Limit|times out]] on his last life, "TIME UP" appears first while the [[Game Over (theme)|Game Over music]] plays; the player can try again from the beginning of the [[world]] they lost in at the title screen by holding down {{button|nes|A}} and then pressing {{button|nes|start}}.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', the Game Over screen has "GAME OVER," as well as the choices "CONTINUE" and "RETRY," which has the player either restart at the first level of the world they lost a life on or otherwise restart the game. If the player runs out of lives in [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9]], the Game Over screen looks different. Instead of the usual choices "CONTINUE" and "RETRY," under the words that say "GAME OVER," there is a message that reads: "YOU'RE A SUPER PLAYER! WE HOPE WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN. MARIO AND STAFF."
