That's Life Trivia Quiz

Answer: Green Mushroom

Players of the "Mario" series can find this in almost any one of his classic platforming games. While the Red Mushroom allows Mario to grow, the Green Mushroom ups the total amount of lives (though Mario typically starts with three to five lives per game).

In addition, collecting a total of one hundred coins in earlier "Mario" titles constitutes an extra life for the player. In some Mario games, a 3-Up Moon is also available to collect. Stars provide invincibility (though temporary) while Blue Coins amount to a total of five coins.

Answer: "You are dead."

Well, considering you've just been munched on by a zombie...or eaten by a crazy dog...or chomped on by a shark...or devoured by a giant snake...or worse, the quotation is a bit blunt. Bringing your health from Fine to Poor to Dead will result in your immediate fatality as your body appears on a black screen and the words 'You are dead.' appear in blood.

After this, you'll resume from where you last saved (in the original games, from where you last used a typewriter). You won't even find out if you simply became food or a welcomed member of the undead.

Then again, in some games (*cough*"Resident Evil 2"*cough*) I had the unfortunate view of myself being eaten inside out by a 'Licker'. Scared the bejeezus out of me.

Answer: Balloons

Bananas, Balloons, Barrels, and a bunch of monkeys are involved in most of the "Donkey Kong Country" games on the SNES console. While a number of bananas equate to a single red balloon (equivalent to a life), collecting the various K, O, N, and G letters around each level will also result in a one-up. Green and blue balloons also appear in these games totaling two and three lives. "Donkey Kong 64" and other games in the "Donkey Kong" series have mixed this constant image up a bit. Balloons in "Donkey Kong 64" contain ten bananas (and each is coloured for each respective player) while balloons in games like "Diddy Kong Racing" contain power-ups.

Answer: Phoenix Down

Like in many turn-based RPGs, your character can die. To combat this horrible fate, many games will implement an item, much like a potion or herb you can buy at your local trader or merchant, and use it in battle when an ally kicks the bucket. This, in "Final Fantasy's" worlds, is the Phoenix Down, and item known by this name since "Final Fantasy II" (NES).

While later games revised the name, the concept was the same. This expensive item would sit in your inventory, unusable until someone was downed. Like the mythical phoenix, players would rise from the ashes.

Answer: Your character 'blacks out'

'Blacking out' typically means that you get to return to the nearest Pokemon Center to heal your fainted Pokemon though in the loss, you will have lost a certain amount of your money. Pokemon can faint in or out of battle (though out of battle, this means your Pokemon will need to have been poisoned) and as a result, you can also blackout while walking around.

In some games, 'blacking out' is referred to as 'whiting out'. In battle, you can revive downed Pokemon with an item cleverly referred to as 'Revive'.

These are expensive but can be bought at many Pokemarts.

Answer: Trophies

While all of these items appear in both "Banjo-Kazooie" and "Banjo-Tooie", only golden trophies of Banjo will result in extra lives though his health is counted in Honeycombs. Some specific tasks will result in Banjo being awarded an extra life trophy, but in a normal sense they're found on the ground in convenient places. Red Feathers are used for flight, Gold Feathers are for invincibility, and Eggs are ammunition for Kazooie to shoot at enemies (in whichever direction chosen).

Answer: By performing CPR

In one of the more unique attempts at revival in a cartoony video game, "Castle Crashers" requires that when a player character falls in battle, another player step in and push appropriate buttons to perform CPR. If successful, the character will awaken with a portion of their original health (though never full). To refill health in the game, you need to purchase potions or find health elsewhere. If only one player is in the game, dying requires that you restart from a checkpoint; the same goes if all players fall during a multiplayer game.

Answer: Yes

Yikes! Wouldn't that be rough. Regardless of the patient or injury, if you happen to make a wrong move during surgery, the patient's life could deteriorate fairly quickly (as demonstrated by meters on the screen). When the life meter reaches zero, the mission instantly completes itself and you can't advance onwards. Unlike in real life, you can begin the surgery again as though nothing actually happened. Sometimes you can re-diffuse bombs (and wasn't that a fun mission...) as though you'd never accidentally detonated them in the first place by cutting the blue wire with your scalpel.

Answer: Red

Certainly the unique game, the player character (a blob, HOORAY!) needs to paint the town in whatever colours he can in order to stop some evil-doers from turning the Raydians into mindless, monochrome drones. There are some impediments though. While your blob needs to collect paint in order to grow and colour the city, it runs out easily (everything you paint takes paint points away as you use them). If you happen to fall in water, you'll water down your colour and run down to zero, and if an enemy hits you in this state, you're toast.

In addition, ink will decrease your health unless you can reach water to clean yourself off. This is a major hazard and must be avoided at all times. Luckily, if you do run out of paint points and lose your life, more can be found all over the city in the form of little, red shapes.

Answer: Perform a random lottery and continue drawing numbers until your character can automatically revive

There's always an option- convenient or not. When your character dies, you'll have a certain amount of time before your spirit will leave your body. When you decide to release, you'll appear at the closest spirit healer and have the option of waiting for someone to resurrect you, running back to your body (or the area around it) and reclaiming your body, or talk to the healer and get them to resurrect you.

The third option is a risky one though and should be used sparingly. If this is done, you'll take Resurrection Sickness, meaning that your armor's durability will greatly decrease and you'll have significantly-lowered stats for a certain amount of time.

This can not be removed until you run out the timer.
