Video games are the ultimate fantasy, letting you become someone you could never be in the real world. This means a super-powerful hero or an athlete some of the time, but it can also mean a genocidal maniac who is exempt from the law. Video games have let us do some truly evil things over the years, and some of them are unforgivable. These are the evil things we've all done in video games.

Super Mario 64 - Throw Penguin Off Mountain

Don't even lie. Don't act like you're better than the rest of us. At some point, everyone who has played Super Mario 64 has found the lost baby penguin and, instead of taking the penguin back to its mother like you're supposed to, has chucked it off the side of the snowy mountain to its doom. Why did we do this? To hear the sound a penguin makes when it explodes? To prove to the Mushroom Kingdom that we were in control? Or was it just to feel that rush that can only be experienced by taking another life? Perhaps it was all of these things.

Super Mario World - Letting Yoshi Fall To His Death

It's easy to forget that "Yoshi" isn't really a sole character, but rather a group of adorable dinosaur creatures. To Mario, however, they're disposable. If you need proof, consider what we all did in Super Mario World: leapt off Yoshi's back in order to make a difficult jump, sacrificing him in the process. There were other Yoshis who would help us, unaware of what we had done to their fallen brothers--like a deer innocently staring down the barrel of a hunting rifle moments before its demise. Mario certainly didn't mind, maintaining his same cheery demeanor as he closed in on Bowser. But in the process, Mario--and we--became the villain.
