10 Video Game Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed

8. You've Literally Killed Half The Kingdom - Super Mario Bros

Now, I could go and tell you that Mario is a murderer right now. Just look at the Koopa Kids, who he makes into Koopa-soup as evidence of this. However, when you compare it to this next fact, those atrocities look like a walk in the park.

So y'know when you’re screaming through a level on the quest to help free Princess Toadstool? And remember how you’ve been smashing loads of blocks along the way?

Well it turns out, thanks to page 4 on the Super Mario Bros. instruction manual, each and every one of these blocks used to be a citizen of the Mushroom Kingdom.

No wonder they sometimes have coins in them, as you can add mugging to your murderous ways. So the next time you look at Peach and Mario having a jolly good time at the end of the game, just remember that Mario has got more than a pie on his fingers, as they’re likely dripping with blood.
