Statistically the deadliest enemy in Mario

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.

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
