'''''Helmet''''' is one of the various games from the [[Game & Watch]] series. It was released as '''''Headache''''' in Europe, due to vulgar connotations of the word "Helmet" in the region. In this game, the player has to run across from the exit of one building and into the entrance of another while avoiding the various hardware tools that fall from the sky. Getting hit on the head by the rain of tools will issue the player a miss. The player scores by crossing the screen and waiting for five tools to drop. The microgame [[GAME & WARIO (microgame)|GAME & WARIO]] in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' is based on Helmet.


==Gameplay==
==''Game & Watch Gallery 2''==
===Classic version===
[[File:MarioGWG2.PNG|thumb|left|The Helmet mini-game in ''Game & Watch Gallery 2''.]]
[[File:Game & Watch Gallery 2 Helmet Classic.png|thumb|left|The Classic version of ''Helmet'']]
This game was remade for ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''. In Modern Mode the game has the player control [[Mario]] (or [[Wario]] if replayed immediately after a game that ended with a score that's less than 100 points). There would also be a [[P-Switch]] that would make [[coin]]s appear. The coins could be collected for extra points and an increased entrance bonus, but collecting too many coins will make the player's character move more slowly.
Construction workers attempt to get from the building on the left to the shed on the right while avoiding falling tools. However, the workers can enter the shed only when its door is open. A worker cannot return to the building on the left after he exits it. The player receives a [[point]] for every three tools that hit the ground without hitting a worker. When a worker safely enters the shed, the player earns five points. As the game progresses, the tools start to fall at a faster speed, making it harder for the workers to escape harm. Getting hit by a tool results in a miss. At 200 and 500 points, any misses the player has are removed. When the player gets three misses, they receive a [[Game Over]]. In Game B, the tools fall faster and the door to the shed stays closed longer.

===Modern version===

In the Modern version, the game has the player control [[Mario]] (or [[Wario]] if replayed immediately after a game that ends with a score that is fewer than 100 points). There is also a [[P Switch]] that makes [[coin]]s appear. The coins can be collected for extra points and an increased entrance bonus, but collecting too many coins makes the player's character move more slowly. In addition, if the player collects 50 coins without getting a miss, a [[Super Star]] will appear at or above the right [[Warp Door|door]]'s entrance, rewarding the player with at least 25 points if they get it.


The Modern mode of ''Helmet'' also features three different areas ([[Toad]] invites the player to a different area after 500 and 1,000 points). The first area is a grassy plain that features a [[Koopa Paratroopa|Para Troopa]] tossing [[hammer]]s, [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]]s, and [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s at the player. The next area is a meadow that features a [[Fly Guy]] dropping Spiked Balls. [[Cannon]]s constantly appear to make any Spiked Balls that fall into them drop faster or get fired off in 45-degree angles. The last area is a castle of sorts with three Podoboos bouncing up and down and two [[Thwomp]]s. The Thwomps will eventually fly up towards the ceiling (which has [[Spike Trap|spikes]] hanging from it) if the player is standing on either one for a few seconds. If the player never moves when that happens, they will get squished into the ceiling and penalized with a miss. At 200 and 500 points, the Para Troopa tosses a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] for the player to remove a miss; at 700 points, the Fly Guy drops a heart.
Modern Mode of Helmet also featured three different areas (The area changed after every 500 points). The first area featured a [[Koopa Paratroopa]] tossing [[hammer]]s, spiked balls or [[Podoboo]]s at the player. The next area was a meadow that featured a [[Fly Guy]] dropping spiked balls. [[Cannon]]s would constantly appear to make any spiked balls that fell into them drop faster or get fired off in 45 degree angles. The last area is a castle of sorts with three Podoboos bouncing up and down and two [[Thwomps]]. The Thowmps would eventually fly up towards the ceiling if the player was standing on either one for a few seconds. If the player never moved when this happens, that player will get squished into the ceiling and penalized with a miss.
 
Unlike in the Classic version, music is featured, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game. When the player goes to a different area, the music changes.

===Classic===
In Classic, a man will attempt to get from one house to another while avoiding falling tools. However, the man can only enter the house at the right when its door is open. As the game progresses, the tools will start to fall at a faster speed, making it harder for the man to escape harm. Getting hit by a tool will result in a miss. Three misses, and it's Game Over.


==Controls==
Classic Helmet also appears in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' as one of [[9-Volt|9-Volt's]] [[microgame]]s.
