The worst part about Haltmann is that he spend the rest of his life trying to build a machine that can grand any wish simply to revive his daughter,without knowing that she was literally in front of him the whole time and thus he spent the last moments of his life dying from his own creation,without even seeing her one last time

Porky's "Death" always came off as the equivalent of "You didn't beat me. I quit!"

Itoi said Porky will be trapped in the capsule even after the sun and all life on earth dies It's honestly sad to think about... Trapped in a crippled state in a cramped capsule for all of time.

I feel bad for both Susie and Taranza because they had to see the person that they care about get driven insane due to wanting to achieve one goal. Sectonia wanted endless beauty and Haltmann wanted to see his daughter again even though Susie was standing right in front of him.

Haltmann probably had the worst one imo. I still find the Soul OS Star Dream fight to be horrifying espescially the last phase when the pause screen says Haltmann is no more on top of a quote of him looking for his daughter and that Star Dream is now a mindless killing machine. Pretty deep stuff from a franchise that started out as a flying gumball fighting a penguin for stealing food.

That last low-pitched scream from haltmann will always terrify me, not because it’s scary, but because of his fate

I always thought Haltmann was just a greedy bastard. But I never knew about his lost child, and it's just so tragic. And all of a sudden, Susie's connection with Haltmann makes so much more sense to me.

The worst one is surely porky's fate. And i got an interesting idea out of this: If nintendo ever makes a MOTHER 4, they should do a part of the game where the heroes find the capsule, and they slowly look into it, and you vget a jumpscare of a decripid, withered-like Porky just against the glass.

Jesus. I didn't realize how horrifying the screams of Haltmann were as you destroy Star Dream.

This makes the deaths of Disney Villains look tame by comparison.

Nah I think Porky wins. He was already so sick and old that he could barely breathe, and he couldn’t move. Now imagine that for literal eternity, in a 5x5 foot sphere with no sort of stimuli other than a single window into the infinite blackness of space. THAT’S horrifying.

I've never played any of the Mother games, but Porky's fate of being trapped inside a capsule forever with no way to escape or even die...yeah, that ain't pretty.

Dr. Andonuts warned Porky that the capsule will never be opened again once he's inside but he still went with it and wondered if it's what Porky wanted. Also, Porky did stated that he wanted to destroy all of reality because no one truly likes him and that he preferred to be all alone for eternity and due to him being spoiled rotten to hell and still mentally a child, he sees the capsule as a womb where he'll never grow up.

Remember guys, Super Paper Mario and Kirby are rated E for Everyone.

Can’t believe the worst one of all is Working For Wario!

For more context surrounding Kirby Planet Robobot's backstory/lore: Susie/Susanna Patrya Haltmann was involved in a project with Star Dream that resulted in her getting sucked into a pocket dimension. After spending a day in the pocket dimension, Susie managed to escape and return to Haltmann, but years have passed in her dimension and long-term exposure to Star Dream was slowly beginning corrupting him, changing his company's policies of using his technology for prospering to mechanizing the world. A part of the old Haltmann remained and he recognized his daughter enough to hire her as his secretary for the Haltmann Works Company. In hopes of saving her father, Susie stole a device Haltman was using to control Star Dream, but it backfires and his soul is absorbed into the machine. In a final attempt to offer her father salvation, Susie requests Kirby and Meta-Knight to stop Star Dream and free her father's soul. A last-ditch effort by Kirby worked and destroyed Star Dream, but Kirby's Robobot was torn apart in the ensuing attack and the memory unit acts upon its own volition to save Kirby as it drifts into the depths of space, potentially suffering a worse fate than Haltmann. Susie would return to the Haltmann Works Company to continue following her father's initial ambition and even returns to aid Kirby in Star Allies. Although the Kirby series is notorious for finding ways to revive characters like Marx, Zero and Dark Meta-Knight this appears to be a permanent situation similar to Sailor Waddle Dee, Sectonia and possibly Elfilis.

In Mario and Luigi partners in time there is a section of the game where all the Toads are trapped on the Woods of this Forest. These Trees suck all of Toad's blood to make UFO fuel out of it. It's impressive how all of this happens in a Mario game

President Haltman literally had his soul deleted, meaning that if the kirby world has an afterlife he doesn't get to see it

What’s even more sad about haltmann is that the more he uses Star Dream the more he forgot until the point of his life to him changed from: bringing back his daughter Susie to: infinite money and even when he sees his daughter again he doesn’t remember her just thinks she’s familiar and finally he has entire soul absorbed by star dream and Kirby destroyed Star dream sadly killing haltmanns soul with it he just wanted to see his daughter again

What makes the Haltmann situation worse is you yourself witness part of his downfall. It just gets deeper, and deeper, and deeper, until all of a sudden, you're now required to kill him off. How Kirby still manages to keep that goofy smile of his after all of that is astounding.

Wow Porky is really the most reasonable villain he is himself imprisoned voluntarily for all the crimes he has committed but nothing proves that he will not use his machine again to visit the neighboring parallel world...

What’s even scarier about Porky’s fate is that he doesn’t even know that he’s stuck there for eternity. After Dr. Andonuts explains everything, Porky is still sticking his tongue at you. Imagine the fear he feels when he realizes he can’t open the hatch to exit the capsule

6:26 In Mother 3 Porky says "I might be 1,000 years old or 10,000" to make us feel bad

Mighty Gazelle is my favorite racer from F-Zero so seeing him on here is surprising. I wouldn't say he suffered a fate worse than death. In his interviews after winning a grand prix, he says some of the following: >He doesn't miss his human body at all >With his new body, he can do disaster rescue because he can go where humans can't >Despite losing his fiance after the accident, he managed to recover from that and get a girlfriend (I hope you don't think she's a cyborg too) Not to mention because of his new body, he can be much more reckless with his racing because death isn't as big a risk to him. If anything, it's not a fate worse than death, but a new lease on life.

Its funny how we went from "they will live till the universe collapses" to "but thats not worse then working for wario"

0:15 in greek mythology the souls were not supposed to be in the River Styx, so this being classified as a fate worse than death is mythologically accurate

"I'm going to duck inside this 'Absolutely Safe Capsule' for the time being." More like for time eternal!

Mr. Luggs seems pretty happy with how he died, considering he's *still* eating as a ghost. It's safe to say his fate is the tamest on this list. Same goes for Working with Wario, LOL!

What about the 3 Mage Sisters? They had their Hearts stolen from them, and had to work for Hyness to revive Void Termina. By the end, they're begging Void to return their hearts to them. Tbh, almost every Main Antagonist in the Kirby Series needs to be here, even King Dedede, who tends to always be under some sort of Mind Control until Kirby frees him.

3:37 "Kirby Gameplay VS Kirby Lore" in a nutshell.

Man, all of those fates are just horrifying. Especialy haltmann with his scream at the final fight, sectonia with her twisted past and Porky's death, condamned to be stuck for eternity ! Nintendo was really dark with their games back then huh ? (Btw, the last one is just funny lol)

I can confirm that Dialga Primal is trapped in his mind.

I feel that an argument could be made that Lysandre (From Pokemon X/Y) had a worse fate than Porky. I mean, yes their fates were pretty much the same, but while Porky is simply stuck in a capsule for all eternity, Lysandre is buried deep under the ground, presumably in a coffin, so it's just him laying there, no movement, no sight, only him and his (likely still sinister knowing that psycho) thoughts. Still not as bad as working for Wario though

apparently working for wario is even worse than being trapped in a capsule.

I wouldn't call Mighty Gazelle becoming a cyborg a fate worse than death. In GX, when the player wins with Gazelle on Master difficulty, a TV host asks him a question, one of which can be "do you miss your human body?" and Gazelle says he doesn't. Don't take the "only living for F-Zero" part as though he was programmed to be a slave for the competition, as racing was already his passion before the accident.

In an interview with Shigesato Itoi he said that even if the earth were to be consumed by the Sun in 5 billion years, Porky would still be alive trapped in the capsule, floating in space for what I assume would be all eternity.

Technically, the phrase "a fate worse than death" can only be used when you don't actually die. And some of these characters did (Ganon repeatedly).

Master porky’s fate is actually what he wants. Since the world is just a meaningless game, he’d rather just sit for eternity watching.

Lysandre from Pokémon XY, or possibly. There's a chance that he's immortal like his ancestor AZ, but this would mean he's still alive under tons of rocks, probably haven taken severe damage from the explosion and rock slide, and nobody seems bothered to dig him up. Consider that every time you go to Geosenge.

I think the thing that REALLY sucks about Gannon's situation is that even if he does succeed in killing Link, he still looses! he's in a situation where he literally cannot win and is forced to relive getting beaten, FOR ALL ETERNITY!!! no matter what he does, no matter how well he does, no matter how smart he is, he is destined to fail over and over and over again! I feel bad for the guy, he didn't even really do anything to deserve this fate, it was just thrust upon him without his consent

I love how behind the happy world of Kirby all sorts of dark and grim events have been going

6:35 Just something to add, Porky is immortal due to him causing tears in reality from frequent time traveling. Sooo… yep. No such thing as the sweet release of death for him

1:21 omg it's nikocado avocado

I think Haltmann has the worst fate of them all, sure Porky is forced to live forever in such small space but as far as I saw, he didn't show any signs of pain besides coughing, Haltmann went through so much, He lost his only child, his memory slowly decayed until Susie got back and he forgot all about his only child that being Susie, lost control of star dream, which practically was slowly sucking the life out of Haltmann while he was still conscious until he lost all his memories and lost his soul, screaming in pain after each pillar inside Nova is destroyed until the heart of Nova disintegrating, making you hear his last scream before death, Then again there is working for Wario

The Kirby deaths & the underwhere scared me Especially the underwhere

98% of Kirby: Bright and bubbly music, lively and colorful aesthetic, fairly forgiving gameplay The remaining 2%: Terrifying lore, casual deathmatches against eldritch horrors and superbeings

Fun Fact about River Twigzz: If you listen really closely, you can hear very faint noises that sound like people talking, and that’s because it is people talking…Nintendo recorded a meeting that was taking place and put it in River Twigzz among the other disturbing noises and sounds as like a troll or a goof or whatnot

Porky got the Kars treatment.From Jjba, Basically Kars became the Ultimate Lifeform being able to never die and having the DNA of all living being, essentially becoming a god. He was then launched to space and froze to a rock, tho he was unable to die he simply stopped thinking

Porky's fate is probably the most terrifying one there could ever be. He will be in that capsule for the rest of time, billions upon billions of years, even after all life in the universe dies, due to his immortality he will still be there, alone, forever. People go insane after being trapped in darkness alone, now think of that but times a near infinite amount, death would be the greatest gift he could ever get.

I also remember the story in Pokemon X, about a Pokemon who died during a war, and his owner was so sad, that he killed others Pokemons, to make his Pokemon come back to live, and be immortal. But once the Pokemon came back to live, he learned that his owner killed Pokemon for him, and he was so chocked, he ran away from his owner, and he never saw him again. (Exept at the end of the game, good ending and stuff) (Sorry if i use a bad english)

Fun fact : Porky was supposed to die originally but Itoi wanted the game to not end with everyone dying (cause yeah, Claus, Flint, Lucas and even Kumatora was supposed to died too lmao)

You knew there had to be AT LEAST one Kirby entry on here.

Giygas had one too. His own sheer power destroyed his mind

I've always been intrigued and horrified by the concept of infinity and eternity. Being conscious for an undeterminable amount of time is a fate that is, above every other, worse than death. Death is an eventual relief from personal entropy and one of the few kindnesses the total indeference a universe has by default. It puts an end to any pain and agony one conscious creature has. Death is a misery put to an end. And so to deny one's own merciful death by never being able to die while suffering a horrible illness is frighteningly horrific to me. You will be stuck in a state of suffering past the reach of Death and live every single second of the next span of time that makes the Heat Death of the Universe look like a flash of light. Entropic death a kindness so pinnacle and massively important that the uncaring bastard of reality has deemed necessary. And you have just exiled yourself from that kindness. The Absolute Safety Sphere is hands down, 100% and the end-all and be-all worst fate a being with the concept of consciousness can have, in my opinion.

Everyone here is talking about the horrible fates Susie, Taranza, Haltman and Sectonia. No one here is talking about how Master Porky literally got himself trapped not realizing what just happened thinking that Lucas can't beat him anymore. At some point in the future (if he realizes) he will go insane and stop thinking.

Haven’t even played any of the Mother games, but even thinking about the only inevitable thing in your life being ripped away from you, just being trapped for eternity is a horrifying thought, especially for an overthinker who thinks too much about existence

Porky's fate is definitely worse than death when I played mother 3 for the first time and got to this part hearing that porky is immortal and once he gets inside the absolute safe capsule and it will never open and he'll be in there for all eternity every time that gives me deep dark chills down my spine I know porky is annoying and he turned on Ness and sided with Giygas I don't want that for porky

Man I still really miss my father.😢

Haltmann going insane and endangering many lives just to get his daughter back reminds me of the Woodsman from Over the Garden Wall. Luckily he has a happy ending.

I saw the thumbnail, and knew that this video was going to be sad. I remembered what happened to Porky, and the sad story of President Haltmann.

But in the end Porky got what he truly wanted...

Everyone (including me) always memes about how Kirby is a cute game only on the surface, and that it actually contains deep, horrifying lore. However, it only makes sense for the franchise to be that way. Kirby is a being of hopes and dreams--a symbol of purity. The fact that he fights such dark abominations and stays joyful is like a metaphor for having hope in the face of your worst fears, and it does a good job of emphasizing Kirby's innocence. After all, wouldn't a being of dreams naturally save the world from nightmares? Sometimes, it takes the darkness of night to see the light of stars. And the darker the night--the further you are from the familiar safety of civilization--the more stars can be seen.

The whole situation with Haltmann reminds me of Dr. Fuji trying to resurrect his daughter Amber in Mewtwo's backstory

Porky's fate always gave me shivers and still does to this day. Just the thought of unknowingly being trapped in a relatively small, enclosed structure for all of eternity, unable to die, and unable to move due to incredible age. Porky as a character has always kind of been a tragic one. But the Absolutely Safe Capsule just adds even more tragedy, along with a heap of existentialism to it. The worst part of this in my opinion is that he used to be just a semi-normal child. While yes, he is one of the most evil Nintendo villains, even *he* doesn't really deserve it.

Nintendo:Our game is for kids and adults everyone can play :) Also Nintendo:Let's bring a fate worse than death

The Metroid Prime 3 one was incorrect, he doesn’t end his own life. Dark Samus controls all 3 bounty hunters and makes them attack you, and when you defeat them, Dark Samus disposes of them and absorbs them. They have no control over the matter, it is Dark Samus simply destroying what is deemed useless and absorbing their essence. This happens to all 3 bounty hunters.

It went from someone jailed for eternity to a joke

3:18 The audio playing is from Metroid prime 3 , Rundas’ theme is what plays when you fight him. My favorite song I’ve heard in the Metroid series so far.

Porky's fate must be disturbing when he figures out he can't leave the torture like chamber he entered without know what is about to happen, then watches the outside after the years gone by when the earth is gone.

It's said that time flows in the Pokémon world because Dialga's heart beats. Meaning that if you do nothing to stop Dusknoir, Dialga DIES.

Porky and Haltmann’s fate was probably the worst. Consider the fact porky is stuck inside a capsule forever is very sad. And haltmann lost her daughter and his soul absorbed inside a machine is just the absolute worst, consider the fact that her daughter was with her all along

I think in Pokémon X, Lysandre had a worse fate than Porky. He is trapped forever being crushed by rocks and unable to die. Also, Nintendo has made many bosses where you kill the ghost of that said boss.

There is a data which is not used in the game but there you can see how the Absolutely Safe Capsule broke and Porky lies painful on the ground

I think if Haltmann survived the Star Dream OS incident it would probably be worse than the death he got. He probably would’ve suffered permanent injury mentally and physically considering his entire being was erased. If Star Dream just exploded and spat him out he’d probably be in a somewhat undead, possibly conscious, paralyzed state, and he’d either be abandoned there or put in a containment area where he’d rot for eternity

I feel bad for Porky.

Nobody's gonna talk about the fate of Pigma in StarFox? He's consumed by the Aparoids in Assault and then comes back as a rubix cube style boss in one of the side quests of Command. He deserves it, but still worse than death because he had his own will restored after the Aparoid queen was destroyed and he sought revenge after adjusting to his new form. Just to die, again.

Jin (Xenoblade 2 and Torna) needs to be on this list! He endured more mental pain and emotional distress than any character ever. He couldn't even die to end it. As Malos said at the end "but that man had lost everything. He didn't even want to live anymore! But he had to live on because his life was the only thing he hadn't lost, because he couldn't!"

The first one with paper Mario is right out of a creepy pasta, how did Nintendo approve of it?

You know, this might not in fact be the end of Porky. When you take multiverse theory into the equation, and consider how much time travelling Porky has done, he could’ve essentially become a living paradox, so there could be some variant of him out there, still scheming…

Mr luggs is technically still doing what he wants, which is eating, and maybe he’s hiding because he’s hoarding all the food. Same with mighty gazelle

Thx for the new video, you always put so much effort in em!

I don't know why Kirby is so dark. I mean, Happy Tree Friend's joke is that is a cute show with tons of gore. I don't know why Kirby's joke is not that it's a cutesy franchise with deeply dark aspects; blood, death, disturbing imagery, body horror... We all know that, but Nintendo refuses to advertise it like that

5:44 *OOF* I miss that sound a lot, I can't just beat that Rest in peace oof sound

i did not know that creepy sound effect was from a MARIO game

Saddest thing about Haltmann is that his daughter was right there working under him, and he never realized.

8:25 Oog has escaped the underworld! Oog is trapped in cage built by Oog

Working for Wario is worse than being trapped for all eternity!?😂😂😂

2:50 this is possibly referencing Kirby Super Star/Kirby’s Fun Pak, because something similar happens with Marx and this boss looks like it.

in kirby there are also taranza and seconia's story. for mystery dungeon in the final episode, almost all pokémon (even arceus) are petrified and block into a dimension like hell. and for mother gygas has also a horrible fate, he became so powerful than he became evil, and it hurt him, then everything he wanted was to take the power that humans take from his kind.

I feel really bad. Just imagine how awful it would be To work for wario.

I feel bad for Ganondorf. Trapped in a constant state of death and resurrection because a green-clad femboy from the woods and the reincarnation of a literal goddess pissed off himself from a past life that also was a demon.

The terrifying and sad story Haltmann has is part of the pegi 3, children-focused game where you control a pink, round creature literally made of happiness in his adventures around the world

5:07 that’s not actually ganon. It’s most likely a puppet made from the malice leaking from the real ganon (shown in the breath of the wild 2 announcement trailer).

1:43 So basically his soul got knocked out of his enitre body insane

To think that unknowingly to everyone the Goddess Hylia started the neverending circle of the Triforce is kinda creepy. But on the other side it was the only way to protect the whole world. Demise (born/created by the negative characteristics from humanity) even states that he will reincarnate himself and continue to bring darkness to the world, resulting in the incarnations of Ganon(dorf). Hylia sacrified her immortality to resurrect the hero, his incarnations known as Link, in attempt to defeat Demise. The hero, later known as Link, died in the fight with Demise and is resurrected by Hylia in order to defeat his future incarnations in case it ever will be neccessary. Unfortunately, after all these centuries or even millenia(s), this knowledge is long lost.

Porky's fate is terrifying to think about, but Haltman's... Oh God, Haltman's fate is truly nightmarish, he's still alive, part of Star Dream OS, but he's just another component, no soul, no emotion, nothing, just a gear in the machine

You know if he has internet access Porky's ending wouldn't be that bad granted I would also want psychic powers to go with that

Poor Rundas, man. I know there are obviously worse deaths out there, but it might be the most iconic Metroid Prime moment these days, and for good reason. Metroid is the series where Nintendo doesn't hold back, and it shows in specific moments like that.

Now imagine Mother 4 comes out and it’s few years after porky’s fate the hero’s discover the capsule in vines due to how long its there

3:16 actually... he was deleted with only the traces of memories of him
