Inanimate Insanity II handles it well enough. That season got a Darker and Edgier feel after episode 15, so I've seen a handful of Downer Endings from it. Personally, the last few episodes before the Movie, (aka episodes 16-18)'s got the most... heartbreaking to say.

Hot take: I actually like Yoshi's New Island and it's soundtrack.

  • A Redditor once relayed a story about how he ‘lived’ ten years of a happy life in the span of a few minutes spent unconscious on the floor of his college after he was assaulted by a footballer. In the dream, he had a wife, a successful job, and even his own son and daughter. Over the ‘final days’ of his dream, he began noticing something wrong about a lamp in his living room, how it didn’t seem to conform. In the final moments, he realised the truth, that none of this was real. After becoming consumed by horrifying imagery, he awoke saying ‘I’m missing teeth’ as a police officer came to his rescue and took him to hospital. The whole experience appeared to have left the Redditor with some lingering psychological trauma over the reality that almost everyone he loved were nothing more than apparitions in the dream world, as he concludes that ‘sometimes I see my son, usually just a glimpse out of my peripheral vision, he is perpetually five years old, and I can never hear what he says.’

The end of Castti’s quest in Octopath Traveler II. After busting her ass carrying the party and facing down with Trousseau, she gets the nap she finally deserves and bids a final farewell to her fallen fellow apothecaries in her dreams. Sleep tight, Mama Castti.

Another Mario example: the Shadow Sirens' ability in TTYD. I especially like it in battles against all Bob-Ombs, because I can set them off and immediately hide to take no damage.
