Statistically the deadliest enemy in Mario

In absolute numbers, yes, but surely something has to be deadlier (# of deaths / # of apperances). That would actually be a fun thing to figure out.

Probably one of those old arcade games, allegedly some were not designed to be possible to beat

Thanos from Marvel Vs Capcom?

Some gap in the floor somewhere I imagine.

Maybe the deadliest single enemy ever? That goomba has taken more lives than nearly any other game character.

The ghosts in Pac-Man have gotta be way up there, too.

Don't discount the Space Invaders.

Them, too, but Pac-Man has aged a lot better so I'm willing to bet more people have been playing it throughout the years.

I know of at least two youtubers that have racked up a few billion more kills off that first goomba by training neural net AIs to play Mario

Not gonna lie, I used to jump over it instead of fucking with it.
