'''''Game & Watch Gallery 3''''', known as '''''Game Boy Gallery 4''''' in Australia and '''''Game Boy Gallery 3''''' (ゲームボーイギャラリー3 ''Gēmu Bōi Gyararī 3'') in Japan, is a compilation game that was released for the [[Game Boy Color]] in Japan, North America, and Australia in 1999 and Europe in 2000. Despite its name, it is actually the fourth game in the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]]. The game includes five [[Game & Watch]] games playable from the start and five more unlockables, five of which can be played in either Classic Mode with the original Game & Watch characters or an updated Modern Mode featuring characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music. 

The game was rereleased on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]] in Europe on September 25, 2014; in Australia on September 26, 2014; in North America on February 5, 2015; and as a promotional release in Japan on November 21, 2014, for users who registered ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and one of ''[[Bulbapedia:Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire]]'' with [[Club Nintendo (rewards program)|Club Nintendo]] before January 20, 2015. It was also later rereleased for the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online]] service as one of its launch titles on February 8, 2023.

==Stars==
Like the previous games in the series, ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' features a system to unlock bonus features. As before, every 200 [[point]]s (20 in ''Judge'', 5 in ''Flagman'') the player reaches in a mode of a [[minigame]] is worth a star, up to five stars per minigame mode. The player unlocks features in the [[Gallery Corner]] as they collect stars. A very hard mode called Star Mode is unlocked for every game after the player earns at least 1,000 points in Modern Mode. The player can earn a total of 150 stars. If they do, a "Congratulations!!" message appears onscreen.

==Games==
*'''[[Egg (Game & Watch)|Egg]]''' – A [[Yoshi (species)|Light Blue Yoshi]] must eat [[Yoshi Cookie|cookies]] as they pop out of an oven (a concept similar to that of ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]''), but he has to avoid the [[Bob-omb]]s. In the Classic version, a wolf must catch eggs laid by hens. 
*'''[[Greenhouse]]''' – An [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] must protect flowers from enemies by spitting [[watermelon]] seeds as he did in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island]]''. In Classic Mode, the player has to protect flowers by using a [[sprayer|spray gun]]. 
*'''[[Turtle Bridge]]''' – [[Toad]] delivers items from [[Mario]] to [[Princess Peach]] by using a bridge of [[Goonie]]s, which sometimes dive at passing balloons. The name of the minigame is from the original game, which involved a bridge made of turtles. 
*'''[[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|Mario Bros.]]''' – This is far different from the [[Mario Bros. (game)|original arcade game]]. In this game, Mario and [[Luigi]] must keep [[cake]]s (or packages of bottles in Classic Mode) moving on conveyor belts. 
*'''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]''' – [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] must traverse various stages to free [[Donkey Kong]]. [[Goomba]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s, and [[Nipper Plant|Baby Piranha Plant]]s appear as enemies. 

===Unlockables===
*'''[[nwiki:Flagman|Flagman]]''' – In Game A, the player must copy the pattern shown by the flagman. After the player copies the pattern correctly, another step is added for the next round. In Game B, the flagman shows only one number; however, the time to react to this number shortens over time.
*'''[[nwiki:Judge|Judge]]''' – A reaction game where the player with a number of equal or higher value attempts to hit the other, while the player with the lower number tries to run away.
*'''[[nwiki:Lion|Lion]]''' – A game where the player must control lion tamers on either side of a cage to keep the lions inside.
*'''[[nwiki:Spitball Sparky|Spitball Sparky]]''' – A ''{{wp|Breakout (video game)|Breakout}}''-like game where the player must break all the blocks to go up a level.
*'''[[Donkey Kong II]]''' – In this rerelease of the game with the same name, Donkey Kong Jr. must hit four keys up the screen in order to free Donkey Kong from chains.

==Gallery Corner==
As the player collects stars, they unlock new areas to check out. Below is a list of things that can be unlocked.

{{br}}

Note: Players can alternatively connect ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' with ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'' to unlock Game & Watch titles for the Museum with a Game Link Cable and two [[Game Boy Color]]s, but this was removed in the 3DS Virtual Console and [[Nintendo Switch Online]] versions. Instructions on how to link the games together are still listed in the rereleases, but they cannot be selected.

Hard Mode in ''Judge'' is replaced with a 2P VS mode, but due to Game Boy and Game Boy Color Virtual Console games on the Nintendo 3DS not having two-player functions, this mode cannot be selected in those versions.

All Museum titles in previous games reappear in this Museum.

This is the first Game & Watch game to have the Gift mode visitable at any point. Although the Gift Function was present in ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'', it could be visited only when a new game/function was unlocked.

===Secret===
As the player collects stars, they unlock a feature called '''Secret 1'''. This feature describes information regarding an inverted version of the Game & Watch title [[Fire (Game & Watch)|''Fire'']] (Silver series). When the player unlocks '''Secret 2''', they can play the inverted ''Fire'' at any time but are not able to pause the game, and consequently, they cannot perform an autosave to continue later. Instead, pressing {{button|gbc|Start}} sends the player back to the Gallery Corner.

The high score is not recorded for this version of ''Fire'', nor can stars be earned by playing it.

Both the originals and remakes, which combine simple gameplay and subtle strategy, are here to enjoy, and the updates are so well done that we'd recommend this game even to those who don't like the Game & Watch series. The newer versions play differently enough that you're quite likely to consider them new experiences in and of themselves. The musical and visual presentation is just fantastic as well, and the entire package serves as a relic of a truly magical time in gaming. Or, perhaps, two truly magical times.''"

This one is indeed the best of the bunch, simply because there are so many extras to uncover. Just don't expect anything more than what they are -- simple games for simple technology.
