10 Video Games That Insult You For Winning
1. Super Mario Bros.
The absolute pinnacle, the most meme worthy, the one that wounded us the most as kids, those seven words: "...but our princess is in another castle".
You hadn't experienced such betrayal as child until then, that moment when you've defeated Bowser, only to be greeted by one of those mushroom-headed little berks cheerfully telling you that you've just missed the princess.
But what really, really stings is that this doesn't just happen the once, like you've mistakenly gone to the identical looking castle next door instead. This happens several more times, until you finally catch her (sorry, I mean rescue her) in the eighth world.
The question is, what are the Toads doing there? Are they one step ahead of you, getting into the room whilst you're fighting Bowser, or is this all an elaborate set up each time?
Think about it, why are so gleeful in telling you that Peach isn't there? I wonder if they're making Mario jump through hoops, as well as pipes.
