'''''Manhole''''' is a game that originally appeared on the [[Game & Watch]], and was ported as a [[minigame]] in both ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''

==Game Appearances==

===''Game & Watch Gallery'' ports===
''Manhole'' can be played in both the Classic Version, which is exactly the same as the original Game & Watch game, or in the Modern Version, which uses ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' characters in place of the generic figures.

====Classic Version====
The main character had to stop pedestrians from falling into holes that lead to the sewers below. To do this, he used a manhole cover, which filled in the holes long enough for the people to pass.

====Modern Version====

[[Mario]], [[Toad]] and [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] are the pedestrians in this version, walking at different speeds, while [[Yoshi]] is the character the player controls. In this version, four manholes can stay up at once, unlike the original. The manholes can drop from characters stepping on them, causing the next pedestrian to fall if Yoshi does not act quickly. Yoshi can also hold a manhole in place to keep it from falling. At 200, 500 and 700 points a [[Monty Mole]] comes out of the ground and throws a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] at Yoshi, removing a miss if he catches it.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In [[Flat Zone]] and [[Flat Zone 2]] (from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', respectively), the main character from ''Manhole'' appears, where his manhole cover can be used as a platform. [[Mr. Game & Watch]] also has a move where he flips a manhole cover in front of him, based on Manhole.

===''WarioWare'' series===
In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', there is a [[microgame]] similar to ''Manhole'' called [[Bridge Work (microgame)|Bridge Work]], which is found in [[Orbulon]]'s stage.

===Manhole-e===
A complete port for Manhole used for the "e-Reader." There were two versions of the game: One came bundled with the e-Reader peripheral device, and the other was distributed during E3 2002, although there's no differences between the two beyond the former being blue-colored and the latter being brown colored. It was the only Game and Watch game to be released on an e-Reader card in America, although a series was planned at one point. The game was the Classic version.

Flavor text (English): Close the open manholes so no one falls in. If someone falls in, it is considered a "miss." "Miss" three times and the game is over. You can select GAME A(easy) or GAME B(hard) at the beginning of the game.

''This is the only Game and Watch trophy to not utilize the handheld itself. Instead, it features a sprite from the game.''

|align=center|No scrolling, only one stage, only a few sounds, and the age of 3D was nothing more than a twinkle in someone's eye. Nevertheless, this game was a blast at the time. In the Game & Watch title Manhole, you move a manhole cover back and forth so that the pedestrians can safely cross the road. What a simple yet fun game!
