On 1-1 in Mario, I jumped in the pit and died. This was when I first played it. I'm much better at games now.

This thread is probably a joke but I do actually think it's an epic idea to talk about specific holes where Mario died in people's experiences of the game series. I'm trying to think right now and wish I could say exactly which holes.

that one where you had to sprint jump because normal jumping wasn't enough and you had played up to that point not knowing there's a sprint button

I feel like even as a kid I knew from the first time I got and used a fire flower that you can sprint.

That hole near the end of 8-1 where you have to sprint jump onto a single block and then sprint jump again. Basically a sprint double jump. Its where most people who never beat Super Mario Bros. give up.

A deep enough hole on earth would also be filled with lava. Hell, before that it would be filled with dirt. Does that make it not a hole. Just food for though.

sotn was my first castlevania too but I played near release and at that time the "no ground means bottomless pit" rule was still pretty strong on my brain

digital gaming holes don't need to follow how the real world works. a hole that goes off the bottom of the screen and kills you, that isn't filled up by anything.

Mario doesn't die, Bowser just resets the level so he can try again.

In Paper Mario Sticker Star, Mario picks up a hole and moves it somewhere else, then falls in and dies.
