Least favorite way to die in a Mario game?

To me it is the forward momentum after landing on a platform carrying you into the pit. This is what made New Super Luigi You more difficult.
 
Dying after the star has already appeared/inches away from the flagpole
the AI cheating (Amayzee Dayzees in Paper Mario)
bad luck (getting hit by a rock or hammer from an audience member in TTYD)

What makes an unexpectedly high attack power "cheating"?

They can sleeplock you, if I recall right. Even if they can't, they can and likely will finish you before you can even wake up if one puts you to sleep.

They'll probably run away though. I know this isn't related to least favorite dying gripes, but I always thought it was BS that if an enemy runs away from battle in any Mario rpg take your pick you get no EXP. I mean, who was the intimidating one who made it flee? YOU were.

Yeah, that.

I agree, that is BS, a worse example is the fact that if you run away, you lose money.
 
My own cockiness/overconfidence that's come from over 20 years of platforming.
 
Falling inches away from the ground in 64
 
Time's up = raeg

(fortunately it doesn't happen much, but when it does, and when the goal's in sight... such rage)
 
When I press jump and walk off a cliff, or the Wii Remote registers me shaking and making me spin off a cliff
 
I hate getting crushed.

Trying to jump on a Goomba but missing by 2 pixels and touching him on the side. In Mini form.

This, which is why I don't like how less precise Mario is compared to Rayman
