| | '''''Greenhouse''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] released on December 6, 1982 <ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/greenhouse.htm ''Greenhouse'' info page on In The Attic, a website dedicated to classic videogames] Retrieved 13 November 2010</ref>, starring [[Stanley the Bugman]] who reappeared in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''. The objective is to spray worms that try to eat Stanley's plants in a greenhouse. The worms crawl along vines and the player will have to try to hit them with a spray before they reach the plants (which would then die). The game is a two-level one with a ladder connecting the two parts (which otherwise offer almost identical action). The game is relatively easy to begin with, but soon gets harder. |

| '''''Greenhouse''''' (released as '''''Green House''''') is a dual-screen [[Game & Watch]] game released as part of the Multi Screen series on December 6, 1982.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20221127122702/http://www.intheattic.co.uk/greenhouse.htm ''Greenhouse'' info page on In The Attic, a website dedicated to classic videogames] (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine). Retrieved 13 November 2010.</ref> It is the first game to feature [[Stanley]], with the game serving as the basis for the setting of ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', which is why that title featured Stanley as the protagonist instead of [[Mario]].<ref>[https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Interview:The_Illustrated_History_of_Electronic_Games An interview with Shigeru Miyamoto from ''The Illustrated History of Electronic Games'', transcribed on ZeldaDungeon] ''As for the Donkey Kong 3, because the game was designed with another game called "Green House" for Game & Watch (Nintendo's early 80s handheld game series) in mind, we decided not to use Mario.''</ref> ''Greenhouse'' is featured in the [[Museum]] in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''. It was later remade for ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'' with a Classic version and an updated "Modern" version. | |

| The alarm indicator of this game is a cat that is located in the lower screen, beside the [[ladder]], and a [[Buzzbee|bee]] stings the cat when the alarm goes off.

| {{br|left}} | | In the Modern Version of the [[minigame]] entitled ''Greenhouse'' [[Yoshi (character)|Yoshi]] has to protect his plants by spraying [[Fly Guys]] and [[Grinder (species)|Grinders]] with [[watermelon]] seeds (as he did in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island]]''). To play, you use the {{button|gbc|Pad}} to move and {{button|gbc|B}} To shoot watermelon seeds. Once Yoshi grabbed ten melons, he would gain fire-spitting powers, allowing him to burn the ropes of the Grinders, scorching them even while they are shielded. The tulip that releases stars from ''Yoshi's Island'' releases the Fly Guys. The Classic Mode of the game does not deviate from the original ''Greenhouse''. |

| The player controls Stanley, and the objective is to spray inchworms and spiders that try to eat the flowers in a greenhouse. The inchworms crawl along vines on the top screen, while the spiders crawl along webs on the bottom screen, and the player has to try to hit them with a [[sprayer|spray gun]] before they reach the flowers. A ladder connects the two parts of the game (which otherwise offer almost identical action). The player receives a [[point]] for killing an inchworm far from a flower, two points for an inchworm one step away from a flower, and three points for an inchworm closest to a flower. To kill the spiders, however, the player needs to spray them closest to a flower. Each time a spider farther away is sprayed, it backs away one step, giving the player a point. When the player kills a spider, they earn three points. As the game progresses, the inchworms and spiders move faster. If an inchworm or spider reaches a flower, the flower dies, earning the player a miss. If the player gets 300 points without any misses, all points are worth double until the player does get a miss. If the player has any misses at said score, all misses are canceled instead. When the player gets three misses, they receive a [[Game Over]].

| ===Modern version===

| |
| In the Modern version of the [[minigame]], an [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] has to protect [[Smiley Flower|flower]]s by spraying [[Fly Guy]]s and [[Ukiki|Grinder]]s with [[watermelon]] seeds (as in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island]]''). The [[tulip]] that releases [[star (Yoshi's Island series)|Star]]s from ''Yoshi's Island'' releases the Fly Guys. In this version, a [[Warp Pipe]] connects the two parts of the game. The Yoshi earns a point for defeating a Fly Guy and three points for a Grinder. In addition to the points earned for defeating the enemies, the Yoshi also receives a point for eating every watermelon. Once the Yoshi grabs ten watermelons without getting a miss, he gains fire-spitting powers, allowing him to burn the [[rope]]s of the Grinders, scorching them even while they are shielded, and the Yoshi earns three points for defeating a Fly Guy. If a Fly Guy or Grinder reaches a flower, the enemy jumps on it and wilts it. At 200, 500, and 700 points, a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] appears for the Yoshi to remove a miss. Music is also featured in this version, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game. | |
| | |
| However, in this version, the score and miss marks alternate positions depending on the section the Yoshi is standing on.
