Least favorite way to die in a Mario game?

[Chuck Ballymoo]

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.

It's pretty rare though, ive done nearly 30 different playthroughs at pm1 and 2 and and that only happend a few times.

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

This. Especially on New Super Mario Bros Wii. God, whenever I play that with my siblings, there's no co-op at all.

Also, dying from the automatic scroll.

 

[Shyghoul]

being shot in the head

 

[Lakituthequick]

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

 

[freakworld]

Being raped by everything in the Pit of 100 trials in TTYD.

 

[Natalie J.]

When my controls *bleep* up

 

[Walkazo]

Time's up = raeg

(fortunately it doesn't happen much, but when it does, and when the goal's in sight... such rage)

 

[DragonFreak]

In the first level of Donut Plains in SMW, that happened to me all the time.

 

[Duskull]

When I press jump and walk off a cliff, or the Wii Remote registers me shaking and making me spin off a cliff

 

[Ray Trace]

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

Invisible Coin Blocks

Where did those ever kill you outside of the lost levels?

SMW Rom Hacks (don't even get me started).

Doesn't matter if they're rare, can still be annoying to someone
