[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] attempt to catch [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, and [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Jrs.]] after they jump out the window of [[Princess Peach]]'s burning [[Peach's Castle|castle]]. The catch is that different characters fall at different speeds: Toads bounce the highest, while Donkey Kong Jrs. bounce the lowest. [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s also appear and contain either a [[Bob-omb]] or a [[3-Up Moon|Moon]] (a [[Super Star]] in the first game); the eggs break open when they are caught or hit the ground. The player receives two points for catching an egg. If a Bob-omb reaches the carriage, everyone, including the Mario Bros., runs away as the carriage explodes, and the player gets a miss. If the Mario Bros. catch a Moon, the player receives five points. At 200, 500, and 700 points, Peach appears and blows a kiss, sending out a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] for Mario or Luigi to catch to remove a miss. Music is also featured in this version, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game. In the ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' version, the time of day changes every 200 points collected.

If the player selects this game in ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' yet does not start playing it, a humorous sequence plays. In particular, Mario and Luigi catch a Toad sent flying to the left and a Yoshi sent flying to the right, only to narrowly stop when discovering their next "rescue" was in fact a Bob-omb, which detonates inches from them, and are then forced to flee as a dozen Bob-ombs are raining down from the sky.
