The Top 7... Gory deaths in cutesy games

Disturbing images you were never meant to see

Words: Joe McNeilly, GamesRadar US

 

Roadkill
To Frogger’s credit, the marquee of the arcade cabinet tries to give some gravitas to the plight of the titular amphibian with a harrowing illustration of a tire bearing down on a briefcase-toting frog. Unfortunately, there’s nothing quite so dramatic in the game. In those trying days of limited color palettes, a skull and crossbones animation was as close as you could get to realistically rendering a smashed toad. We think this is closer to what they had in mind.

Relive death in Frogger:

Yeah, I think killing an adorable paper mache animal with a shovel and then feasting on its entrails I think rare followed the basis of theater "Tragedy & comedy".

Goddamn! No one deserves being torn apart like how Mario was under the hands... er, mouth of Kirby. No wonder Nintendo keeps their games mostly appropriate.

@The1337Lord

You act like he MIGHT be one. We wipes out several planets worth of cute animals in each game, even if they run away, he chases them down and eats them.
