Earlier, I proposed linking every game over described on this article to a corresponding video record of the said game over; you can check that too. I will now formally rise the same proposal. | Earlier, I proposed linking every game over described on this article to a corresponding video record of the said game over; you can check that too.

As organized as these images are, I'd still like to see some improvements. First, organizing the Game Over screen images by game system type is beginning to get unprofessional, since Nintendo now publishes games on mobile devices, and considering that I '''''just''''' uploaded [[:File:SMR Game Over.png]]. Second, it's not a very conventional way of searching for images, and I myself have problems finding a particular image with the current setup. Third, one user has pointed out (via maintenance tag) that Game Overs aren't necessarily restricted to games, and also appears in books and films such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]''. Therefore, I propose that we change the organization to something different: | As organized as these images are, I'd still like to see some improvements.

*'''Option 1: Chronological by year.''' This would divide the Game Over screens by the year that the game in question was first released, and suborder each Game Over screen by the respective game's earliest release date.

Following what Bazooka Mario said in the above section, the gallery section of the page should be big enough for [[Gallery:Game Over]] to be created. | Following what Bazooka Mario said in the above section, the gallery section of the page should be big enough for [[Gallery:Game Over]] to be created. | ||

Before you look over this proposal, I invite you to ''try'' to read the main article. It's honestly absurd how in-depth this article goes into describing every little detail of every Game Over screen. And besides, I thought this article was about the mechanic of a Game Over, not how they look, or whether the music is "depressing". This page is just fundamentally flawed in how it is structured, so in this proposal, I hope to merge the two main sections, "List of Game Over screens" and "'Game Over' as death" into one "History" section, and to trim much of the unnecessary details. | Before you look over this proposal, I invite you to ''try'' to read the main article.

#{{User|7feetunder}} The "Game Over as death" concept is only really explored in ''SPM'', with the only other mention of it I can think of being a brief one in ''TTYD'', so we lose nothing by just putting it in a history section. | #{{User|7feetunder}} The "Game Over as death" concept is only really explored in ''SPM'', with the only other mention of it I can think of being a brief one in ''TTYD'', so we lose nothing by just putting it in a history section. | ||
#{{User|PnnyCrygr}} I believe these earlier headers are flowery and fluffy and have existed since the ten’s; the history header title is more professional. | #{{User|PnnyCrygr}} I believe these earlier headers are flowery and fluffy and have existed since the ten’s; the history header title is more professional. | ||

To be honest, I'm starting to wonder if this proposal would ''really'' fix the article. Game Overs are kind of a generic concept in gaming, so I wonder if having a whole history section would really be necessary. Looking at the [[extra life]] article, which features a similarly generic game feature, it doesn't have one at all, so maybe that's the way to go?

:... I think the reason there isn't a history section is because there's still 1-Up/Extra Life - related stuff that still needs to be added. {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 07:51, December 12, 2023 (CST) | :...
