With this series of witty cartoons, an alphabetic video game poem by Brentalfloss has been created that details different game over scenarios.
Each of the character deaths is gruesomely hilarious, and some are not even typical of the deaths that occur in the game. For instance, Ecco the Dolphin is eaten from a can of tuna and Mario's kart had a faulty transmission and crashed to his doom. However, some depict familiar demises such as Bowser falling through a bridge into lava and Sonic the Hedgehog running out of air and drowning.
Each death is depicted with a hilarious drawing and a clever poetic verse to go with it. Together, this video game poem makes up the entire English alphabet. It includes popular characters from a variety of games.
