'''''Game & Watch Gallery 2''''', known as '''''Game Boy Gallery 3''''' in Australia and '''''Game Boy Gallery 2''''' (ゲームボーイギャラリー2 ''Gēmu Bōi Gyararī 2'') in Japan, is a compilation game that was released for the [[Game Boy]] in 1997. Even though it is the sequel to ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', it is actually the third game in the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]]. The game includes six revisions of [[Game & Watch]] games, one of which is not playable from the beginning and must be unlocked. Like all the other ''Game & Watch Gallery'' games, the [[minigame]]s can be played in either Classic Mode or Modern Mode; the former is identical to the original release of the minigame, while the latter has been redone with characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music. ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' was rereleased as a [[Game Boy Color]] game in Europe and Australia, as well as North America, in 1998 but not in Japan. However, on September 9, 2020, an unreleased Japanese Game Boy Color version was leaked.


The game was rereleased on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]] in Japan in March 2012; in Europe and Australia on May 3, 2012; and in North America on May 24, 2012.

Like the previous game, ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' features a system to unlock bonus features. As before, the player earns a star every time they score 200 [[point]]s in a mode of a minigame, being able to earn up to five stars in each mode. The more stars the player earns, the more things they unlock in the [[Gallery Corner]]. The player unlocks a very hard mode called Star Mode after they reach 1,000 points in a Modern game. The player can earn a total of 120 stars.

For me, playing Game & Watch Gallery 2 was a trip down memory lane, but for a whole new generation of games, it represents a returning to the simplicity of past games. There's no need to sit for that extra five or ten minutes to finish a level, or to reach that difficult to find save point. Gamers can turn off their Game Boys when they want it, making this title ideal for short trips, or for people who simply want to be entertained and not feel like they are locked into the game for a certain period of time.''"

==Pre-release and unused content==
==Trivia==
===Early box art===
[[File:GnWG2 original box.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Early North American box art]]
An early print of the North American localization, released in extremely small quantities, used a different box art from that seen in later prints. In it, [[Yoshi]] has his appearance from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', [[Princess Peach]] has a smiling expression, and [[Donkey Kong]] has his appearance from the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. The final illustration, however, depicts Yoshi in his ''[[Super Mario World]]'' appearance, Peach with a worried expression, and Donkey Kong in his appearance from the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy version]] of ''Donkey Kong''.
 
===Unused data===
This content was found in the game's files, but part of it is available only through cheat codes.

==Art errors==
*Yoshi is shown as an [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] in the Game Boy Color version of ''Vermin'', presumably to make him visible within the handheld's display restrictions, even though the box and manual artworks and his sprite on the Game Select screen depict him with his proper green color. Additionally, the Yoshi in ''Ball'' is a Green Yoshi on the Super Game Boy and a Light Blue Yoshi on the Game Boy Color.
**Similarly, although the Yoshi seen in ''Parachute'' is an adult Green Yoshi, the manual art for that game shows a yellow Little Yoshi in Mario's boat instead.
**Also, the accompanying art for ''Chef'' depicts Toad being a waiter and having his mouth water as Peach is flipping eggs and fish from a frying pan, as well as another artwork depicting Toad with a slab of meat in front of him and obviously planning on eating it, even though Toad is absent from the game itself. Additionally, Peach is shown with a chef's hat, though in the game itself she wears [[Peach's Crown|her crown]].
