Editing Game over (section)

==Variations==

"Game over" has seen many variations. For instance in ''[[Little King's Story]]'', the message "LIFE OVER" appears upon the death of the player's character. ''[[Nights into Dreams...]]'' and ''[[Nights: Journey of Dreams]]'' use "NIGHT OVER". ''[[Antarctic Adventure]]'' and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' use "TIME OVER". Screens that display at equivalent points are considered "Game over" screens, even if the message that is displayed is entirely different, such as "YOU ARE DEAD" used in ''[[Resident Evil]]'', ''[[God of War (franchise)|God of War]]'', and ''[[Left 4 Dead (series)|Left 4 Dead]]'', "YOU DIED" seen in ''[[Dark Souls]]'', ''[[Cuphead]]'', and ''[[Minecraft]]'' (though ''Minecraft'' uses "Game over" if one dies in hardcore mode), "GOOD NIGHT" seen in ''[[Klonoa]]'' and ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. The 2020 Nintendo 3DS game ''The Queen TV-Game 2'' uses [[Fuck|an expletive]] to parody player [[rage quit|frustration]]. The 1980 arcade game ''[[Missile Command]]'' uses "The End", a game over screen that is usually seen upon achieving victory. ''[[Red Dead Redemption|Red Dead Redemption]]'' and its prequel, ''[[Red Dead Redemption 2|Red Dead Redemption 2]]'', both simply use "DEAD" upon the player's death. Another variation includes "THE WITCH HUNTS ARE OVER" used in the ''[[Bayonetta]]'' series, "YOU WERE SLAIN" in ''[[Terraria]]'', "TOO BAD!" in [[Mario Sunshine]], and "DRIVER DOWN" in ''[[Hill Climb Racing]]''.  

Some games give specific loss condition messages, pattern, screen, and sequence exclusive to a level, mission, game mode, or situation. For example, one section in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' can end with a game over screen of "MISSION FAILED: The biker escaped."  Some other games with definite game over conditions may not show a particular game over message at all should one occur, and would instead take the player through a [[loading screen]] to immediately resume play from the last checkpoint, such as ''[[Tomb Raider Anniversary]]'' and ''[[Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy]]''.
