A Game Over is a term in nearly every Mario Game, given to the player when they run out of lives. Usually, they cannot continue and must restart the game, but can still often load their progress. In few cases, they cannot load any progress at all and a Game Over can be more of a big deal than in other games.
The game over screen differs from game to game, but the text is usually against a black screen and playing background music that seems to be mocking the player.
In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, if the player dies in World 9, the Game Over screen looks different.
Apparently, a Game Over in the Marioverse is the equivalent of death, as evidenced in Super Paper Mario. When Dimentio sends Mario and his teammates to "the next world", which is like either going to Heaven or Hell. They end up in The Underwhere which is a little like Hell, where some Shaydes ask Mario how his "game", referring to his life, was. Also, many Shaydes can be seen discussing how they got a Game Over. The Overthere is like the Heaven surrounded in clouds, sun, and rainbows.
