14 Most Memorable Closing Lines In Video Game History

15. "But Our Princess Is In Another Castle!"- Super Mario Bros.

Playing Super Mario Bros. is just about a prerequisite for every gamer, which is probably why the moustachioed marvel's popularity endures even beyond the limits of his medium. In the original journey, after beating each world, the little plumber who could would always come face to face with Bowser, only to be greeted not by Princess Peach, monarch of the Mushroom Kingdom, but with one of the land's inhabitants, a Toad, spouting the enduringly famous (and frankly annoying) line "But our Princess is in another castle!" This classic quote has been experienced by every gamer under the sun, and there really isn't much that hasn't been said about it. The timeless phrase always signals to the player that they must embark on yet another dangerous journey to search for Princess Toadstool, a quest that almost always proves fruitless until at last the player has guided Mario to his final destination. Of course, Toad's exclamation eventually went from an unwanted message to something almost looked forward to, implanting itself into gamer hearts everywhere.
