'''''Game & Watch Gallery 4''''', known as '''''Game & Watch Gallery Advance''''' in Europe and Australia and '''''Game Boy Gallery 4''''' (ゲームボーイギャラリー4 ''Gēmu Bōi Gyararī 4'') in Japan, is a compilation game that was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2002. Despite its name, it is actually the fifth and final game in the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]], and it is the only one in the series to be released on the Game Boy Advance. Like the previous incarnations in the series, the featured [[Game & Watch]] games have both Classic modes, which attempt to recreate the looks of the original units as faithfully as possible, and Modern modes, which feature characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music.
'''''Game & Watch Gallery 4''''', known as '''''Game & Watch Gallery Advance''''' in Europe and Australia, is the fourth in a series of compilations of the classic [[Game & Watch]] games made between 1980 and 1991. 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 gameplay elements. It is the first and only game in the series to be on the [[Game Boy Advance]].
 
The game was rereleased on the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console]] in Europe and Australia in December 2015 and North America in April 2016. The Japanese version was originally unpublished, then released on the service in March 2016.

==Stars==
Like all other games in the series, ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' features a system to unlock bonus features. As before, every 200 [[point]]s in the high score for a game earns the player one star, up to five per game mode. The player unlocks new features as they collect stars. If the player earns five stars in a Modern game, they unlock a very hard mode called Star Mode (except in ''[[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong 3]]'' and ''[[Boxing]]''). The player can earn up to 220 stars.
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. 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.

The [[Gallery Corner]] is where most special features are unlocked. These include a [[Music Room|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 160 stars have been collected, [[Link]] becomes playable in the final unlockable game, ''Zelda''.

''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' features 11 Game & Watch titles in its main roster of playable games, six of which are available from the start and five of which are unlocked by obtaining stars. Five of the games are new, while six return from the previous ''Game & Watch Gallery'' compilations, two from each one: ''Fire'' and ''Octopus'' from the [[Game & Watch Gallery|first game]], ''Chef'' and ''Donkey Kong'' from the [[Game & Watch Gallery 2|second game]], and ''Mario Bros.'' and ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' from the [[Game & Watch Gallery 3|third game]]. Additionally, nine extra games are accessible from the [[Museum]] and are unlocked initially for viewing, but eventually if a set number of stars is collected, they can be played in Classic Mode only.

|align="left"|''"In conclusion, this game is a must-have for anyone who isn’t familiar with G&W. For those who are, the experience will be considerably more limited. The modern modes with updated graphics and sounds are very good, but, ultimately, they are not what’s carrying this game. What’s carrying this game is that you get 20 slices of pure, classic Nintendo gameplay.''"

|align="left"|''"It's really hard to recommend Game & Watch Gallery 4 to GBA owners when games like Metroid Fusion and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 are out there. If some of the modernizations were a little deeper, or some of the unlockables a little more complex, or at least one of the games stood out head-and-shoulders above the rest as really fun, it'd be easy to recommend. But as it stands, I cannot."''

If you're looking at Game & Watch Gallery 4, chances are you know what you're getting into and don't care that the graphics and sound are modest and dated. The games are certainly strong enough to stand on their gameplay alone."''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
[[File:G&wg4cas-1.gif|thumb|The starting sequence of the credits. It also includes certain alarm characters.]]
*''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.
*The starting sequence of the credits includes certain alarm characters from ''Octopus'', ''Tropical Fish'', ''Mario's Bombs Away'', ''Bomb Sweeper'', ''Fire Attack'', ''Chef'', ''Life Boat'', ''Manhole'', ''Donkey Kong'', ''Parachute'', and ''Zelda''.
*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.
*This game marks the last appearance of the Donkey Kong design first seen in the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|1994 Game Boy version of ''Donkey Kong'']].
*[[3-Up Moon]]s appear in the Modern versions of the games ''Fire'' and ''Rain Shower''. In ''Fire'', they would fall from the burning building at times, as Yoshi, Toad, and Donkey Kong Jr. would, but failing to bounce it to the cart would not count as a miss. In ''Rain Shower'', they can be collected until the 3-Up Moon meter fills up, which causes Bowser to fall, giving the player points.

{{Game & Watch}}
*[[3-Up Moon]]s appear in the Modern versions of the games ''Fire'' and ''Rain Shower''. In ''Fire'', they fall from the burning building at times, as Yoshi, Toad, and Donkey Kong Jr. do, but failing to bounce one to the carriage does not count as a miss. In ''Rain Shower'', they can be collected until the 3-Up Moon meter fills up, causing Bowser to fall and giving the player points.
* Unlike in the other ''Game & Watch Gallery'' games, when the player selects a game on Game Select, that game's title changes to the logo on its original port. Similarly, when the player selects a game in the Museum, that game's logo on its original port appears on top of the screen.
