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.
