Which Nintendo Villain Has Killed The Most? 

Here is the full list of bosses that King Dedede and Bowser may have killed as playable characters. Dedede: Mr. Dooter, Fatty Puffer, Goriath, Grand Doomer, Metal General, Master Crown, Goldon, Silvox, Grand Mam, Kracko, Void Termina. Bowser: King Calamari, Yaridovich, Megasmilax, Czar Dragon, Axem Red, Axem Black, Axem Yellow, Axem Green, Axem Pink, Count Down, Cloaker, Domino, Clerk, Manager, Director, Factory Chief, Gunyolk, Smithy, Dark Star, King Croacus, Bonechill, Dimentio, Wracktail, Dark Mario, Dark Luigi, Dark Bowser, Dark Peach.

I understand that these are only confirmed kills, but let’s be real, most of these villains have probably killed a lot more than what was shown here (mainly the ones that aren’t wiping universes)

Well, if we want to get REALLY nitpick-y, then Galeem’s kill count would be infinity-minus-one, because he never got Kirby.

For anyone wondering, Smash Ultimate contains 222 universes within it While some of them would undoubtedly have a level of life similar to our own universe or even lesser than it, many of Smash's universes are confirmed to harbor extraterrestrial life or even whole civilizations in the galaxies Even without taking Pokémon's possibly infinite multiverse into account, there is simply no humanly way of counting the amount of casualties Galeem would cause

Link: *living normal childhood* Ganondorf: And I took that personally

I will admit that Galeem is a force of light that is never to be taken lightly. However, it was once destroyed instantly with just one huge slice by Sephiroth from his reveal trailer.

I believe it shouldn't count because Dedede is more of an antihero than an actual hero in the games where he can truly kill someone. Since he's really conceited, it's difficult to determine whether he fits the definition of an antihero.

Between Count Bleck and Galeem, there's one more: Dimentio. His kill count is several times Bleck's, because we see several other universes be erased while the Chaos Heart is in his control

Doesn't Bowser steal the energy from stars and galaxies to make his own galaxy in SM Galaxy? Its been awhile since I played SM Galaxy but I remember distinctly thinking "Holy hell, Bowser is potentially killing billions of people by stealing the power of their stars."

I'm glad to see Count Bleck getting the second place here, we don't often talk about Super Paper Mario even though it's an amazing game

Tabuu was the coolest original Smash Bros character he was a beast to fight! Kinda wish he was playable like Ridley in Ultimate but I'm pretty sure if he was playable he would be broken.

I would say Count Bleck because he erased an entire world and Dimentio came damn near close to erasing more. Mario villains are pretty destructive and I'm sure other villains here are probably worse.

"How many people did you kill" Galeem: "Yes..."

I'm kinda iffy about Tabuu's kills since he really just turned the characters into figurines, kinda like Gorgons using petrification to turn people into stone, but "killing" Tabuu reverted everyone back to normal, so they kinda were encased in a plastic model prison, (Master Hand though i would consider a kill) Also for some reason now, looking at Tabuu, I feel like he could be involved in the morpho knight mystery, based on appearance and abilities, maybe some residue of his power spread through out the cosmos of the realities of each character, and a butterfly in Kirby's world just happen to get caught with the strange power, what it to say the "chronological order" of smash bros games exist, shoot Tabuu can manipulate reality for god sake

It's terrifying to think that Smash hosts a being so powerful, capable of erasing everything on the videogame realm on a multiversal scale in a matter of seconds with literal light speed, that did ACTUALLY succeed in doing so, and yet Kirby managed to stand on it's way and save everyone Same applies to Dharkon, although they only get to do this on the "Dark" ending of WoL once Galeem dies, which isn't the real ending

Galeem destroys reality itself, rebuilds it, and even with that our little Pink Demon can't be killed. The best thing is that having Void in mind, and that he exists in every universe as long as reality itself exists, AND that is literally the origin of the CONCEPT of reality itself in Kirby's lore, it's canonically possible. Special mention of Shepiroth, who can destroy Galeem in one cut, but not defeat a Blonde-haired dork boy.

Makes you wonder how many universes actually got devoured in Light by Galeem's attack, worlds like Minecraft (infinite worlds and wildlife), Xenoblade (Canonically 2, maybe 3 universes with massive amounts of life), Metroid (Countless planets all with layers and layers of life), Pokemon (As stated, probably infinite universes, all of which have tons and tons and tons of Pokemon), Starfox, Bayonetta, Earthbound, etc. I like how this also implies that because Smash is Nintendo's all-star crossover game, this means that Galeem has likely killed all the other antagonists on the list

Dedede is more of an antihero or an actual hero in the games where he can actually kill someone, so i think it shouldn't count

I’d argue Count Bleck’s numbers to be even higher, since during the end of the game, he *does* successfully destroy everything before the player brings it back. Not just the universe, though, since he destroys *every* dimension and universe in existence, with his castle being the last.

Toads being turned into blocks is a fate worse than death : in fact, they are not actually dead, but cannot move and are fully aware of their surrounding, so this being in the kill count is debatable.

Watching this made me realize that I believe both the main antagonists of the Earthbound series have no confirmed direct kills I believe Giygas has not killed anyone onscreen, maybe George but I believe it's left vague to how he died. Porky on the other hand has created Chimeras that have gotten several kills such as the Mecha Drago who killed Lucas's mother, though he never killed anyone himself.

I’m surprised Fire Emblem got passed over. Ashera (technically it was Yune, but they’re 2 halfs of the same being) caused a cataclysmic flood, Grima ended the world, and Anankos wiped out 2 timelines.

I never thought that a pokemon antagonist would reach hundreds of billions of kills. But Cyrus is my favorite evil team leader so that proves his power.

I don't consider Tabuu's trophication as kills. Just simple petrification which can be undone with a single touch.

Galeem wiped out all universes that are represented in the Smash universe. This includes the Punch-Out universe. Therefore, Galeem has canonically murdered Mike Tyson.

Kirby being the lone survivor of the events of Ultimate make a lot more sense too, that just shows how powerful Kirby truly is

We could add Arvis, who basically killed an entire army with a trap.

Wait a sec... if Galeem managed to wipe out literally *everyone* EXCEPT Kirby, and Kirby finds himself in the World of Light which the story mode progresses through... what happened to all of the Universes after Kirby and his revived Smash buddies won against Galeem (and Dharkon)? Did they all just go back to normal like the Smash Universe did? Or were they obliterated forever, leading to every single Universe inside of a game cartridge, card, file, etc. to have this sealed fate of just inevitable nonexistence?

Sephiroth to Galeem: Your light devoured my universe? Who decided that?

Nintendo Unity: So how many kills do you have under your belt, Mr. Galeem Galeem: Yes

By this logic you could say gaming companies have killed off more game universes than any villian.

Im surprised Metal Face got in as Xenoblades Rep considering Jin and Malos from 2 and Egil also from 1 did considerably more kills. But *XC1 FINAL BOSS* did score a 10 Billion + kill count

For K. Rool it’s implied that he actually killed 4. Aside from Kasplat, he also probably killed 3 of his minions off screen during the opening cinematic of DK64 after one of them admits that they failed to do what he commanded.

Even though their specific kill counts are ambiguous, I feel like Galacta and Morpho Knight would both have to be pretty high. Morpho is the literal grim reaper of the Kirby universe, so he has claimed an innumerable amount of souls across multiple dimensions, and while this isn’t confirmed, Galacta was implied to have gone on a multiverse-wide, genocidal killing spree in the distant past, destroying planet after planet in a fit of rage. Of the two, I’d have to place Morpho a bit higher though, since he’s been out and about reaping souls since the dawn of time, whilst Galacta’s been sealed in his crystal prison for the last millennia.

K. Rool: Killer Metal Face: Killer King Dedede: Serial Killer Taboo: Serial Killer Bowser: Serial Killer Ridley: Genocide Ganondorf: Mass Genocide Andross: Stellar-tier Genocide Cyrus: Universal-tier Genocide Count Bleck: Universal-tier Genocide Galeem: Multiversal-tier Genocide

Surprised Commander Tartar from Splatoon 2: Octo expansion didn’t make this list… that guy has a kill count JUST BARELY OVER 10,000

I would argue that Bleck and Cyrus should also be considered to have infinite kills, as both of them destroyed an entire universe. The thing to remember here is that a universe is ever expanding and it’s size cannot be calculated exactly. Theoretically, a universe contains an infinite amount living organisms. Even in our own universe we continue to search for intelligent life out there as statistically there has to be something else.

Your kidding me, I had no idea Metal Face was that low. I could have sworn he killed more then just those 3.

Everyone in the Zelda’s universe: *doing their own business* Ganondorf: I woke up and I chose violence

This is certainly New! Magnificent Work

Gotta love that the kills starts off lightly with 1 or 3 confirmed kills, but by the time it gets to the 6th place, it goes up to the exponentially to the thousands and millions of kills.

Don't ROB and Cpt. Falcon collectively have 94 kills after decimating Olimar's Pikmin squad from 100 to 6 in Brawl?

Since Sora is in Super Smash Bros, Does this mean Galeem killed everyone in the Disney universe as well?

Cyrus is indeed the pokemon character with the most canon kills, but there should also be a special mention to Lysandre, just like Cyrus from the Team Rainbow Rocket event in USUM, Lysandre comes techincally from a dimension where he succeded on his plan, destroy the whole world and everyone in there aside from the Team Flare members in order to create a better world. Cyrus destroyed a universe, but Lysandre destroying a world is also impresive.

With Bowser it kinda feels like Mario actually has a higher kill count compared to Bowser. Think about it Mario has squashed countless Goombas and Koopas among many many many other creatures at this Rate Mario has the highest kill count with Nintendo heroes or even in Nintendo history

I always love these videos

This is such a good video, I hope this will explode in views!!!

Fun video some of these I'm not so sure but even so this was lots of fun thankyou as always for the good fun entertainment on this channel :)

People like to focus on the exterior of these games and call them “childish” but it’s the stuff on the interior or stuff going on in the shadows that’s the darkest some of these games are creepy as hell as you begin to look into them

We took USUM lighty. If the previous villians succeeded in their universe that means, Archie probably killed millions of people and pokemon with the expansion of the oceans and flooding Maxie killed millions expanding the land, causing massive droughts and killing marine life and other sorts of problems. Cyrus destroyed his home universe. Ghetisis probably killed people who didn't followed his plan and probably killed the protagonist with his hacked Hydreigon or using Kyruem to freeze over the Unova region. Lysandre straights up kill everything on earth expect his followers And Giovanni, being the mastermind behind all of this, probably kill who knows how many people in parallel universes that he takes over.

honorable mention: little timmy from super mario maker 2

I love the format of this video

Metal face will forever be the only recognized xenoblade villain due to his appearance in smash lol.

I’m thinking either Ganon/Ganondorf or Galleem has the highest kill count.

Doesn’t really make sense including Dedede here. I know he STARTED OUT as a villain, but by the present day he’s completely evolved into a good guy (except for occasional bouts of brainwashing and/or possession, of course). And his playable roles in RtDL and SA are completely heroic ones. Also, you included Count Bleck, but then what about Dimentio? Shortly after he usurps Bleck and takes control of the Chaos Heart, he destroys at least three entire universes (Flip/Flopside, Lineland, and Land of the Cragnons). If Bleck only got a single universe, that should instantly put Dimentio between him and Galeem. Those two complaints aside, though, this was a great concept for a video, and kudos for going to the trouble of counting and estimating all those kills!

In one of the final cutscenes of Super Paper Mario, Count Bleck did actually succeed in wiping out all universes except his own - including Flipside! And these are the only ones shown, so his real kill count is unknown. Also we still don't know what Dimentio did after the final battle.

I know we never saw them kill anyone, but what about the Aparoids from Star Fox: Assault? Not only am I sure they incurred many casualties directly, they also ensured many more as a byproduct of their assimilation. Edit: also, what about Hades? His scheming alone brought about a war on the Kid Icarus world.

4:52 - That manual description makes it sound like the Toads just give Mario a power boost and then leave, kind of like the Toad Houses, so I dunno about that one chief.

9:10 I can't believe that one of the most villainous of villains go by my name U~U

"seemingly die upon defeat" People die when they are killed

What a fun idea, and the lack of audio helps the tone. That said I would like to give some corrections; So, the main "worlds" in Super Paper Mario (all but the Mushroom Kingdom) are dimensions that make up the/1 universe, 1 universe is divided into those "worlds"/dimensions as a guide states, so what Bleck destroyed wasn't a universe but something smaller of unclear size. Super Paper Mario had mistranslations that may have helped on the lack of clarity. Galeem only destroyed the universe, the world of Smash takes place in the "World of Imagination", which is 1 reality. Sakurai did not say that the attack reach into every universe, he only gave a kinda halfass reason that Bayo could not have hided in a certain dimension to avoid the rays of light because a character from that same dimension was reached by that attack too, but it was all in the same universe, which is where we see everyone being reached. Even if Smash had universes or multiverses representative of the franchises in Smash, those realities would not be as big, Smash is a crossover, every character, place and concept in it is a fraction of what they are in their own franchise, Smash even being free to make modifications to things if it feels like it. The PKMN multiverse wouldn't have infinite universes just because in PKMN it may have infinite universes. Again, I like the idea of the video in general and would love to see something similar in the future, like heroes with the least kills.

And yet my final hit on Galeem was when Villager 'accidentally' dropped a plant pot on him.

Technically, Cyrus also had infinite kills because every blade of grass contains literally infinite Pokemon

I think it’s safe to assume Galeem is the Thanos of the Video Game universe.

You could say that dedede isn’t even a villain for almost every game he’s in other than Kirby’s dreamland the opponents he killed Kirby has killed too

Fantastic Vid! Just curious, how would you rank the many FE villians that have killed others canonically, whether it be something like starting a war like Edelgard or the Blood Pact like Ashnard?

Doesn’t Egil deserve to be on this list? He created the mechon including Metal Face and he is pretty much the Thanos of Nintendo.

I recommend doing this for all of the playable characters in Ultimate. (It will get ridiculous very quickly.)

Aren't we gonna talk about both of the kirby switch final bosses, as cataclysmic entities that have destroyed or conquered multiple planets I feel that would count more than dedede

Someone needs to get themselves some real security because these Pokémon villains are no joke,

10:16 His is face is like "Oof, I'm scared, my heart is gonna break 💔"

what an interesting piece of info

I'm surprised you didn't put characters like Tartar since he canonacly turned millions into zombies

Klaus/Zanza from Xenoblade Chronicles should be on this list. Unlike Cyrus, he succeeded to destroy an universe.

This is a really cool vid I would like a follow up for more obscure villains or just others like Gigyas from Earthbound or DJ Octavio from Splatoon to name some.

The fact that you counted the subspace emmisarys main villian pleases me. 26 years old and to this day it's one of my favorite video game adventure story lines

Can we consider the dark ending for WOL with Dharkon as he consumed all universes with darkness in that ending

I know that the estimated amount for the kill counts these villains have achieved is heartbreaking for many, but you know, no matter how many lives these villains may take, we as the players will always triumph over them. Of course, I won't promise that taking down these villains would be easy in any sense, but I never have. We'll still pull through either way. That is my promise to all of you

K. Rool ordered an executioner to kill a Kasplat, and Andross's kill count is based on the war he caused, not really his own personal kills. I don't think that should count towards their kill count.

Raven Beak from Metroid Dread straight up genocided the Chozo (his own species) on SR388 to further his Thanosian plans. His kill count might be even larger than Ridley's for all we know!

King dedede isn’t a villain anymore

4:42 The string of words "Mario's Friends" can be used to refer to the power-ups themselves. Are you sure that when the manual says "mushrooms" they mean legitimate Toads?

11:51 With Kirby being the *sole* survivor

For Bowser, that didn't kill the Toads. Heck, the reason Peach was kidnapped in that game was that her voice would break the spell. Thus, only the bosses he's beaten should count, dropping him below Tabuu. That is, it it weren't for none of HIS kills actually being such either. MH the sole possible exception (but probably not).

There’s also another Nintendo villain who can match Galeem, Count Bleck and Dementio’s body counts, Xenos from Dragalia Lost. He successfully wiped out the entire multiverse so he can create his own world where everything is predetermined, the only survivors of his plan being a small group of people hiding in the Halidom, a special castle that contains the memories of all existences, who plan to kill Xenos and remake the multiverse before he can create his perfect world, also since the crossovers in Dragalia are cannon, that means he also wiped out the worlds of fire emblem, mega man, monster hunter, persona, and princess connect.

Fun fact: kirby didnt actually died in the trailer of galeem.

That clip of tabuu holding back master hand was the most I've ever seen Ganondorf in the air

The bosses kill counter may sound too much creppy, but its still intresting how powerful bosses got its own charge.

MAJOR Spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicles 1 ! I think Zanza could also be included on the list as he destroyed the entire universe.

Kinda surprised Haltmann didn’t appear in the list, that guy mechanized and killed a lot of planets in planet robobot, you can even seen some in the final battle

Galeem: Kill everything in smash universe Kirby: *survive Galeem: I'm fu*ked.

Now I feel even better about beating Galeem to smithereens at the end of World of Light

How many planets do you think haltmann left as empty shells before showing up to Kirby's world?

Great content keep it up

Kind of ironic that despite Count Bleck killing trillions of people and being one of the only Nintendo villains to accomplish such a task, he is probably the most sympathetic.

It's cool to watch how much they killed but the most interesting thing is who killed the strongest one

For Metal Face, Fiora being "killed" is debatable, since her dying would change whats available to the mechons, and make more troops like her, which wasnt the case. Zanza is a god, he didn't die when the spear was thrown, since all that happened was the form he was taking had just split back into being a spirit, but no real body was stolen, meaning no real person died. Sorean is the only confirmed kill.

Gallem destroys multiverses: "But can he beat Goku?!" Lol

I'm Actually Surprised To see That Tabuu, a Literal Destroyer of universes, Would Be out ranked By Cyrus....I Mean...Cyrus is Basically A War Criminal in the Pokemon world.. I hold a Grudge for Tabuu, Because He Literally Killed Lucario! Cyrus though, I Actually feel sympathy for Him..sort of There was I missed Opportunity to put Majora in as Well, as in The Bad Ending, Majora makes the moon crash, Killing Everyone in termina Considering termina is full of People, I would say A Kill count of Billions for Majora..I guess

This does only count confirmed kills but in addition: (Xenoblade 1, 2 and X spoilers) In a way Metal Face also killed at least 1-2 pilots of the canon tower of colony 9 (we don't know the exact number though) and Xord is even more brutal having eating a corpse onscreen and at least killed a group of 3-4 soldiers (although we can't say he killed them all himself). And that's not even much compared to Egil whos basically responsible for all their kills and hundreds more q-q In the Aegis War, Malos destroys two entire continents, the Ganglion even destroyed an entire Planet. Theres even a man who Destroyed the entire universe. Living in the Xenoblade world sure sucks ._.
