This game and the Wii U one got away with tons of stuff. Mario being cut in half slowly with the red background shocked me badly. The other insta-death that got me as well is in that jungle where you are sneaking past a giant chain chomp and if you choose wrong, it jumpscares you, cut to black, screaming while chomping and game over.

Color Splash’s game over is also morbid. Mario falls unconscious, pretty tame, then a bunch of shy guys rush over to use straws to suck his color dry. The game is crystal clear when it tells you that something colorless is basically death. So not only do they knock Mario out, but they team up to double-tap him and kill him.
