Line 54:
** ''[[Breath of Fire III]]'' also has a case of a Nonstandard Game Over, which doubled as a [[Multiple Endings|bad ending]]. It was achieved by submitting to the final boss and relinquishing Ryu's powers instead of fighting against her.
** ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'' also has a case of a Nonstandard Game Over, which (again) doubled as a [[Multiple Endings|bad ending]]. It featured Ryu ultimately agreeing with Fou-Lu, merging with him instead of battling him, and caused the player to ''CONTROL'' the final boss against the entirety of your former party. Destroying them was quick and brutal, and afterwards the game left no doubt in the player's mind as to the fate of humanity (it was blown up).
** Continuing this tradition, ''[[Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter]]'' has one when you max out your D-Counter and select The End.
* In ''[[Treasure of the Rudra]]'' you get one when you are at the bio tanks and input the wrong combination to stop the pollution.
* In the original ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]]'', if you died by getting run over as soon as the game begins (or in the nearby alley), you're treated to a cut-scene of Larry's corpse being lowered into a laboratory, which then creates a new Larry to be raised to the opening scene for the soon-to-be-restarted game.
Line 108:
** If you shoot people on your own team too many times in online play the game will kick you out of the server and give you the Leavenworth scene as well.
* ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]''. If you REALLY louse up and annoy the gods enough, {{spoiler|you are sent into a swamp and told by Freya that you are faulty machinery, then proceed to fight her. [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose|Whether you win or lose, the game ends]].}}
** Losing to the final boss of ''[[Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria]]'' results in the boss doing some [[To the Pain]] taunting at your fallen character.
** ''[[Valkyrie Profile Covenant of the Plume]]'' gives you an [[Hopeless Boss Fight|unwinnable battle]] where {{spoiler|Freya comes to kick your ass}}, and a different ending if you abuse the Plume too much in chapters 3 and 4.
*** And like before, even with cheats, the game ends as the death of her causes a premature end of the world, and Ailyth won't approve of that.
Line 134:
** The stated in-game reason for this Game Over is not because the person dies (though that's obviously the motivation), but because the death frustrates any further attempts by the hero to investigate the murders due to lack of clues or information.
*** And the very last person-- if you fail, instead, one of the characters calls the hero to tell them that shadows are coming out of the TV, and suddenly cuts off with a scream.
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'', if you defeat {{spoiler|Lloyd and Marta}} in the game's penultimate boss battle, you don't proceed to the real final boss. Instead, you get a scene where {{spoiler|Emil [[Driven to Suicide|commits suicide]] upon seeing that he wounded Marta while faking possession by his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] and becomes a core.}} The final scene is days later and shows Marta {{spoiler|writing in a diary as if to Emil, noting that they will never see him again.}}
* There are three non-standard Game Overs in ''[[Harvest Moon]] DS'' and two or three in ''[[Harvest Moon]] DS Cute''.
** The first is during the opening sequence, when Mayor Thomas from Mineral Town annoys your character into attacking him. The dog will then become angry. You'll have the option to call your dog back. If you refuse, the screen will fade to red, likely signifying that your dog has killed the mayor. The credits roll, and you're taken back to the title screen.
Line 145:
* In the Atari game ''Kya: Dark Lineage'', standard Game Overs show a screen saying "Game Over". However, near the game's end, if you're hit by {{spoiler|traitor Aton}}'s Wolfen Gun, you can see a sequence where Kya [[Transformation Trauma|slowly transforms into a scary, female Wolfen]]. And that's The End.
** In fact, Kya remaining as Female Wolfen would solve Brazul's need of {{spoiler|kidnapping Nativs}} to obtain more Wolfens...
* ''[[Paper Mario:
* In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', {{spoiler|Dimentio}} will ask you to join his side. Say yes [[Rule of Three|three times]] and {{spoiler|he will promptly enslave you}}.
** At the very start of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', you can refuse the Pure Heart that Merlon tries to give you by saying "No" three times (with Merlon getting increasingly desperate each time.) After that, he'll wander off worrying, you get a text screen saying that the universe was destroyed, and it's Game Over. This is ''before'' you even get to control your character!
** When you get the fishbowl and enter the space world, Tippi tells you to put it on. If you refuse several times (even after she lampshades that Mario ''can'' [[Super Not-Drowning Skills|breathe underwater]]), Game Over. In fact, she basically ''calls you a moron and lets you die.''
** When Queen Jaydes asks Mario to find Luvbi, he has the option to refuse. Refusing enough times will result in Jaydes zapping Mario with lightning and stating that he shall be condemned for eternity.
* In ''[[
* In ''[[Tron 2.0]]'', if you kill any non-hostile and/or "Civilian" Programs (like Ma3a, Byte, or any character than you can talk to), you hear a voice say "Illegal program termination." Five seconds later, you get a screen with the same message.
* In the ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' RPG for the SNES, there is one battle were you're pitted agains your [[Mind Control|mind controlled]] friends. Defeat them, and you get a screen telling you that [[What the Hell, Player?|you're a bad friend]], and a game over.
