Normal/Neutral/Bad Endings In Games You Headcanon?

[Samuel O'Kenneth]

Most of the time in games that have multiple endings, the good ending is considered canon to the series' lore. Of course, there's also occasion where regardless of which ending you choose (Should the game give you this option), you don't get a happy ending, but I'm curious: What endings in videogames that aren't the good ending do you personally headcanon and why?

(Please put any major spoilers in the appropriate spoiler tags)

it's not treated as an actual "ending" but rather just a gag game over, but SPM has one where you can agree to join Dimentio and the implication is that he wins & rebuilds existence in that timeline, and i headcanon that the entirety of modern paper mario (except maybe origami king) takes place in that timeline because of just how different everything is.

Anyone else got any headcanons regarding video game endings that aren't the good ending of the game?

I mean, I guess in Dynasty Warriors 8, hypothetical routes have characters that normally die in "canon" (real life history in this case) don't, and they're technically considered the "good" ending. I prefer the routes they don't die in tbh.

I head cannon that in Fnaf Secret Of the Mimic, The ending where Arnold dies is the cannon ending.

I think that in Undertale in particular, the pacifist, neutral, and genocide ending are all canon. Especially since you get a different ending if you do a genocide route, then a pacifist route, I think that's what the developer intended.

Mhm, it does make sense to me that in spite of Undertale having a "true" ending, Toby Fox still gives his fanbase the freedom to decide for themselves which ending is canon and which isn't. Which is another kickass thing about Toby Fox as a creator.
