'''''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 either the Classic version, which is exactly the same as the original Game & Watch game, or the Modern version, which uses ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' characters in place of the generic figures.

====Classic Version====
[[File:68856-Game & Watch Gallery (USA)-8-thumb.jpg|thumb|Classic version of Manhole from Game & Watch Gallery]]
The main character has to stop pedestrians from falling into holes that lead to the sewers below. To do this, he uses a manhole cover, which fills in the holes long enough for the people to pass. As the game progresses, the pedestrians will move faster. More of them appear in Game B. If a pedestrian falls into the water, the player gets a miss. Reaching 300 points without any misses will double the score, but reaching said score with any misses will clear every miss instead. When the player gets three misses, they receive a [[Game Over]].

====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 manhole covers can stay up at once, unlike the original. The manhole covers 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 cover in place to keep it from falling. He holds up the upper manhole covers with his head and the lower ones with his tongue. At 200, 500, and 700 points, a [[Monty Mole|Chubby]] comes out of the ground and throws a [[1 UP Heart|Heart]] at Yoshi, which removes a miss if he catches it. This version also features music, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game.

===''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.

In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', a microgame based on ''Manhole'' called [[Game & Watch: Manhole (microgame)|Game & Watch: Manhole]] appears as one of [[5-Volt]]'s microgames. There is also [[Game & Watch: Manhole (minigame)|a full length minigame with the same name]].

===Manhole-e===
A card for the [[Game Boy Advance]] add-on, the [[e-Reader]], contains a full version of the Manhole game. There were two versions of the card: 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 & 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.

|''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!''
