'''''Game & Watch Gallery 4''''' is the fourth in a series of compilations of the classic [[Game & Watch]] games made between 1980 and 1990. Like the previous incarnations in the series, the featured games have both Classic modes, which attempt to recreate the look of the original unit as faithfully as possible, and Modern modes, which feature all-new graphics, music, and, often, gameplay elements. It is the first, and only game in the series to be on [[Game Boy Advance]].

Like all other games in the series, ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' features a system to unlock bonus features. As before, every 200 points in the high score for a game earns the player one star, up to five per game. That is, a high score between 200 and 399 is worth one star, 400 - 599 is two stars, 600 - 799 is three stars, 800 - 999 is four stars, and 1000 and above is worth five stars. Each game counts its stars separately, (For example, the player cannot earn 150 points in one game and 250 points in another and earn two stars for the cumulative total.) and the total (Up to 220) is what unlocks new features in the game.

==Gallery==

The "Gallery" is where most special features are unlocked. These include a sound test, a Game & Watch timeline, the credits, and nine games (listed below). However, the games must, in essence, be unlocked twice -- the first time a game is unlocked, the player is treated to a short write-up on the game and a video of the game in action. Later on, the player can unlock playable versions. After all the stars have been collected ''[[Link]]'' becomes playable in the final unlockable game Zelda.

==Authenticity==

''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' attempted to be the most authentic Gallery game in the series, and in the eyes of most, it succeeded. Somewhat controversial was the inclusion of "shadows" in the Classic mode. The places where unlit liquid-crystal units would be were filled in with a light gray to attempt to emulate the look of a Game & Watch unit. However, some thought that it was tacky to imitate what they saw as a defect in the original units. Also, many pointed out that several shadows were forgotten, such as [[Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong's]] mouth in ''Donkey Kong Jr''. In addition, several games in the Museum had no shadows at all, creating an inconsistency some found bothersome. Also many Game and Watch units' 'shadows' where not visible anyway. Nevertheless, ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' is still considered the most authentic game in the series.

*''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' also includes [[1-Up Heart]]s. These appear after 200, 500, and 700 points in most games, and would replenish a life that was lost.

*A "Very Hard" mode called Star Mode is also included. It is unlocked for every game, with the exception of Donkey Kong 3 and Boxing, after getting above 1000 points in Modern Mode.

*[[3-Up Moon]]s appear in the modern versions of the games Fire and Rainshower. In Fire, they would fall from the burning building at times, like Yoshi, Toad and Donkey Kong Jr. would, but failing to bounce it to the cart would not count as a miss. In Rainshower, they can be collected until the 3-up Moon meter fills up, which causes Bowser to fall, and gives the player points.
