| A '''bad ending''' occurs when the player finishes a ] but is not completely sucessful for some reason. For example, in ], the game ends before the final fight if you tell the final boss, the Shadow Queen, that you want to join her, earning you a ''bad ending'' in which Mario joins the Shadow Queen, and she dominates the world. Most bad endings are gotten by being defeated in a certain fight, but this case is more of a glorified ] than a bad ending. | A '''bad ending''' occurs when the player finishes a ] but is not completely sucessful for some reason.

A bad ending occurs when the player finishes a video game but is not completely sucessful for some reason. For example, in Paper Mario 2, the game ends before the final fight if you tell the final boss, the Shadow Queen, that you want to join her, earning you a bad ending in which Mario joins the Shadow Queen, and she dominates the world. Most bad endings are gotten by being defeated in a certain fight, but this case is more of a glorified Game Over than a bad ending.
Generally speaking, in a "bad ending", the player has reached an end-point of the game, and has technically won, but the victory is incomplete, and, in some cases, isn't much of a victory at all (such as in the bad ending of the Game Gear version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2; during the game, Sonic is trying to rescue his friend Tails from the clutches of Dr. Eggman, but, if he doesn't have the 6 Chaos Emeralds by the time he defeats Silver Sonic, he cannot continue on and must abandon his quest. In the credits, Tails is presumed to be dead.
