9	''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' may be about a mustachioed plumber going on adventures and stomping on turtles, but it still has its share of [[TearJerker sorrowful events]].

36	!!Other/Unsorted Games
37	* To some, saving Princess Toadstool for the very first time in the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1''.
38	* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' turning out to be AllJustADream, particularly with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnbNNqf9UaQ the music]]. Most likely, Mario and company had great times kicking the butts of Wart and his forces together, but those adventures never actually happened and only Mario will remember them. That is, assuming you don't count ''VideoGame/BSSuperMarioUSA''.
39	* ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'':
40	** The credits. The music, Mario, Peach, and some Toads waving goodbye to you...and you ''will'' burst into tears when Mario can be heard saying this immortal line:
41	-->''[[ThankingtheViewer Thank you so much for-to playing my game!]]''
42	** There are unused animations for Mario crying, presumably about Peach.
43	** The game has two lost penguin chicks; the one that belongs to the mother penguin is far away, and the one that's closer isn't hers. If brought to her, the mom penguin says, "That's not my baby! Her parents must be worried sick!" There are no other penguins on the level that will take her, and the mom penguin doesn't offer to look after her. It's pretty sad and somewhat [[FridgeHorror dark]] if you think about it.
44	* The BackgroundMusic (a slowed-down remix of the "Good Egg Galaxy" level music from the first ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' game) that plays on the World 1 map from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2''.
45	* The ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__-uXb_TtYg credits theme]], specifically with the slow reprise of the Level Clear theme from the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' [[http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00485/ This remix]] is also sad.
46	--> Heroes are born!
47	** [[FridgeLogic Fridge Tearjearker]] when you realize this was the EndOfAnAge for both 2D [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario games]], and 2D [[PlatformGame platformers]] ''in general'', for many years.
48	** The ending of ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'' is this thanks to the music, which ends on the saddest 13 notes ever. Or something akin to them, anyway. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaSg-4nZTbk Just listen for yourself.]]
49	** The ending of ''VideoGame/YoshisIslandDS'' has the birth of Yoshi. ''Our'' Yoshi.
50	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo9S3-q-WUY/ The music]] during the ending of ''VideoGame/MarioParty3''.
51	* The ending of ''VideoGame/MarioParty5''. As the dreams are restored to normal, you can see the characters and the boards floating in a sea of lights in the night sky.
52	* Perry's dreams in ''VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach''. Especially the final one.
53	* The ending of ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' really makes you feel proud and accomplished, but also sad that the adventure is over.
54	** A Koopa Troopa's reaction to losing its shell. It chases after it in panic and becomes depressed if you steal or destroy it.
55	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqYg7SxU2yE Some of the character reactions to getting a bogey or a double bogey in the Mario Golf series]] are sometimes very depressing to watch, especially in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' and ''Mario Golf: World Tour''.
56	** In ''Toadstool Tour'', Mario reacts by running in circles and covering his eyes crying, until he trips on the ground and accepts his loss. In ''World Tour'', he sobs quietly before getting hit on the head by a Koopa shell, turning into [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros Small Mario]] in the process. However, the way he cries is different in those games: in ''Toadstool Tour'', the way he sobs is rather cartoony and hard to take seriously, especially with his rather dramatic reaction, but this is not the case in ''World Tour'', where he sobs in a broken voice, resulting in Mario crying more realistically than usual.
57	** In ''Toadstool Tour'', Luigi starts crying before [[SelfDeprecation calling himself a loser]]. ''World Tour'' has him break down in a flat-out CornerOfWoe (with Boos ambushing him if he gets a double bogey or worse).
58	** In ''Toadstool Tour'' and ''World Tour'', whenever Peach gets a double bogey, she collapses to the ground and starts crying. For someone as sweet as Peach, it's really upsetting to see her so heartbroken.
59	** Waluigi breaks down quite dramatically in ''Toadstool Tour'', reaching skywards and letting out a BigWhy in agony. In ''World Tour'', he swoons theatrically before a [[PortableHole hole appears out of nowhere underneath him]], causing him to fall into the abyss.
60	** When she gets a double bogey in ''Toadstool Tour'', Birdo gets distraught and cries. It's even more upsetting in ''World Tour'', where she spits out balls at the camera until one of them hits her in the face, causing her to flip onto the ground and cry, clearly heartbroken.
61	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4M1f09NoOI&t=6m35s Toadette yells in shock and then falls on the ground and begins sobbing.]] A Yellow and Green Toad quickly run up to her and try to calm her down. However, Toadette just tearfully runs off, pushing them both out of the way.
62	** While he responds [[GracefulLoser somewhat decently]] from getting a bogey in ''Toadstool Tour'', when he gets a double bogey, Bowser absolutely ''[[VillainousBreakdown breaks down]]'', letting out a roar of emotional agony as he kneels down, before pounding the ground in rage. In ''World Tour'', after punching the camera out in a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}}, he starts to walk away and then just falls over, weakened and exhausted.
63	** In ''Toadstool Tour'', Bowser Jr. starts throwing an ''epic'' temper tantrum, kicking his legs and screaming inconsolably. ''World Tour'' instead has him try to [[CameraAbuse attack the camera with his Magic Paintbrush]], only to fall on his hands and knees.
64	*** The sound is also used in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' when he gets 4th or lower.
65	** Ella, a character that can be transferred from the [[UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance Game Boy Advance]] game ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'' also has an animation in ''Toadstool Tour''. Her double bogey animation has her sob and fall to her knees before sniffling and circling the ground, saying, "Golf's hard..." under her breath. It's just ''heartbreaking'' to see a child cry over their misfortune.
