Covers of anything are, of course, make or break. They're the first thing someone sees when the faintest consideration of a purchase enters their head, and it is therefore vital they make a good impression. So it is odd that there are so many downright terrible covers for videogames, movies, albums, and the like. Post your "favorite" ones here.

Recently, albeit indirectly, introduced to me by a friend, what is widely regarded as the worst album art ever (no, you don't get to see it straight up. You must earn it).

There are a lot of contenders for worst album cover, and that is only one of them.
That was a joke.

I'm sure some of you are aware already, but the box art for the first Mega Man game. It's basically an old man in a jumpsuit. XP

"MY TURTLE'S DEAD"!?

What an outrage!  That is the worst album art of all time, hands down!

Mario Kart Wii
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

Dunno, but judging from the sports bra, I assume it's a she.

These should hit close to home for you all.

"Based on the real arcade game." Compared to what? The imaginary arcade game?

That could also go in the Hi-Def Mario thread.

He looks kind of like ... Super Mario to me. If "Super" meant "looking like Superman".
That was a joke.
