I wanted to include Bobby from Paper Mario: The Origami King here as a sad death but I sadly lost my footage of the game.
BTW, that Mario Party minigame is here because the entire thing resembles a trap out of a Saw movie.

Mother 3 destroyed me. The way they portrayed Flint's reaction and how he fell apart... I still feel like my chest gets ripped open whenever I watch it.

[vanillajellyfish]

I'm not sure how disturbing this death really is compared to the ones in this video but I'd like to think the whole "bowser getting burned alive with his skin melting off" thing in new super mario bros for the ds is at least somewhat disturbing

[loganharris]

Remember Crocomire’s unreasonably graphic death? It’s surprising how detailed his skin melting was considering the limits of the SNES.

[metagaming]

YES! finally somebody acknowledges the death of the robobot armor, its final moments gave it sentience, going from gimmick, to a full blown character rest in peace...

[lluis]

Hinawa's death is super sad and makes you feel super sorry for Flint and the twins, but I think the final boss also needs a mention, that final boss just hits so hard...

[toast]

I love how Zelda looks so confused when Link kills Ganon

[crimsonemperor]

Samus parents in the manga: her mother gets burned torn to shreds by Ridley, her father blows himself up to protect Samus and then Ridley eats what remains of the colony to regenerate himself. Even going so far as to mock her about eating them the next time they meet

Edit: for those that want to read it, it's translated to English on Metroid Database. It's only 16 chapters long

[derpietertul]

For context in the Kirby Planet Robobot clip against Star Dream Soul OS (5:01), Star Dream absorbed Haltmann’s soul, so whenever you destroy one of those floating pillars, you can faintly hear his dying screams. This also implies that at the end of the fight, when you defeat its soul and the heart turns to dust, Haltmann dies with it.

[taotaoliu]

Bowser’s death from New Super Mario Bros DS was nightmare inducing.

[Ethonra]

Zant's. Easily. I'll never forget it. You would never expect someone as cute and mischievous as Midna to be capable of that. We all have seen jokes and memes of some super soldier being afraid of his normal wife when "she gets angry" (think Superman being afraid of Lois or Goku afraid of Chi Chi). The wife can't really hurt him, sleeping on the couch only hurts so much. But Midna turns that joke into something genuinely horrific. Midna REALLY IS scary when she is pissed off enough. I can't say I've seen too many women that would kill you by rapidly inflating you til you pop like a balloon. That's pretty messed up. Nintendo has creepy stuff, true, but those are usually more subtle or faked into becoming something scary (Ben). Not this.
This is next level.

[strix]

I'll be honest... I feel upset too if I lost someone... just like how Flint felt..

[NightShadow]

The post-final battle scene was the most dramatic in the Super Mario series so far.

[jasonsmashultimate]

Hinawa's death is not disturbing, it is just extremely sad.

[damnamistupid]

The most disturbing about flint's outburst about hinawas death was that, the twins just watched as the man they called a father broke down in violence. Became the first ever criminal in the whole town, just watching the most gentle man they know gone violent

[TheDendran]

TPs Ganondorf was too much of a badass. So much he refuses to fall down when actually finished off by Zant. He just stood there, dying, then stood there in death

[scruffythecat]

Special mention goes to Barinade from Ocarina of Time, who develops pink polyps all over its core and tentacles when defeated before exploding in a pretty grotesque fashion.

[nightfall]

Nintendo is known for being a kids company but sometimes they just aren’t

[randombreadfloatinginspace]

The mother 3 death really hit me in the heart when I first played it, it was such a Shock aswell

[mattcouture]

Pretty much every Fire Emblem game has at least one death that could make this list. Just off the top of my head:

- The deaths of Eliwood's father and Ninian in Blazing Blade
- Finding and subsequently killing Orson's zombified wife (though it happens offscreen) in Sacred Stones
- Greil's death in Path of Radiance
