| | '''Greenhouse''' is a [[Game & Watch]] starring [[Stanley the Bugman]] from ''[[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.
| | In the Modern Version of the mini-game entitled ''Greenhouse'' [[Yoshi (character)|Yoshi]] has to protect his plants by spraying enemies with [[watermelon]] seeds (as he did in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island]]''). 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===

| [[File:Game_&_Watch_Gallery_3_Greenhouse_Modern.png|frame|left|160px|The Modern version of ''Greenhouse'']]
| |
| 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.
