Only got chocked-up, but I probably would have lost it completely if I had played it as a kid. What's funny is it wasn't even the scene everyone memes about crying to. It was one a little after that.
Sonic Frontiers

Ever since Sonic 06, Sonic games have usually had some sort of ballad play over the credits. This is the one case where it actually really got to me.
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy
It didn't get to me when I played it, but I was in a call with my friend who was playing it, and we both lost our cool when she was reading Rosalina's Story out-loud (it was Chapter 4).
Super Mario Odyssey

Something about the New Donk City festival made me really emotional idk
