** Nobody was happy with the outcome to "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxujITAsWKY Mario Party 3 broke us all...]]". After fighting for a single win on a normal ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' game, [[YankTheDogsChain Sophist's guaranteed victory taken away at the last second]], as Brent accidently forces the former to give ''2'' of his Stars to Vernias via Chance Time on the final turn. And while Sophist does manage to get 1 Bonus Star to put him ahead of Vernias, Brent would get 2 of the Bonus Stars and win the game through coins, despite the fact that he was in last place for the majority of the game.

** Grian's perspective really hammers in the ending of 3rd Life: after an entire series of him and Scar wanting to make it big together, their friendship collapses and the two fight to the death. Grian wins, but his victory is hollow -- everyone else is dead, and his only true friend for the entire series is gone at his hands. Grian ends the series by [[LastSurvivorSuicide taking his own life]]: he didn't die with riches, friends, and power -- he died sad, poor, and alone, in the ruins of his and Scar's magnum opus.
** In Last Life, there are no more Green Lives remaining after Martyn becomes a Red Life, meaning the Reds on the server have to duke it out between themselves. Scott, Cleo, Pearl and Ren form an alliance to go after Grian and Joel, and while they lose Cleo during the fight, in the end, Grian and Joel go down as well. Scott, Pearl and Ren decide that they don't want to betray one another, and each of the four remaining Reds picks a cardinal direction (Pearl picks north, Scott picks east, Martyn picks south and Ren picks west), they split off, count down, and each of them charges into the center of the map where they proceed to [[DuelToTheDeath slaughter each other until only one remains]]. The winner of Last Life, Scott, only gets a brief moment to say goodbye to his axolotl Binkie before he too drops dead.
** At the end of [[RedStringOfFate Double Life]], the Red Lives hunt down the remaining Yellow Lives and two of the five remaining soulbound pairs at the time end up dying as a result of their own or their partners' stupidity (in oddly ironic/symbolic ways to boot). After Pearl kills the remaining two enemy soulbound pairs in a RoaringRampageOfRevenge for her late CanineCompanion (and LivingEmotionalCrutch), Tilly, she meets up with her own soulmate, Scott. She gets a few moments to relax with her remaining dogs... before Scott blows himself up to give her the win, instantly killing them both due the CantLiveWithoutYou nature of soulbound pairs.
** In Limited Life, after hours of battles and fluctuating alliances, the final battle comes down to the remaining members of T.I.E.S. (Impulse and Etho) and the Nosy Neighbours (Pearl) fighting against the Mean Gills (Scott and Martyn), who are still going strong at this point and have managed to decimate the competition. With Impulse left under 10 minutes left by the end, the three negotiate to have a three-way, fair play DuelToTheDeath on roughly even time... which ends with Martyn going full-on CombatPragmatist before the duel even starts while under the Watchers' influence, killing both his Day 1 ally and their former enemy, then waits one last hour and a half for his life-timer to tick down.
** In Secret Life, after the Heart Foundation and the Roomies alliances (and Martyn, the last of the Big Dogs) are taken down, the ensuing fight splits the Mounders and Gem and the Scotts' tentative alliance, with Scar, the last unaligned player, siding with the Mounders while with them at the time. The band puts up a respectable fight but are taken down by Pearl, who didn't even want to live this long or win again, and Scar, who has refused to kill Pearl, even at her own request. The final duel ends with Pearl being shot and falling off a ledge, and while [[SoleSurvivor he doesn't die at the end of his episode]], Scar is left alone after spending almost the entire series alone and essentially friendless. It's even ''more'' of a downer in Martyn's "Eyes and Ears" continuity, as Scar's loneliness and suffering is eventually [[GoMadFromTheIsolation drawn out]] off-screen [[EmotionEater for all it's worth]] by [[GodIsEvil the Watchers]].
