'''Mr. Game & Watch''' is a 2D character meant to serve as the mascot of the [[Game & Watch]] handheld systems and the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]], originally representing the Game & Watch series in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' before appearing elsewhere. Mr. Game & Watch is stated in several descriptions in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] to be the main character of the Game & Watch games, despite the fact that these games technically feature nameless characters. His usual appearance seems to be based on the generic characters featured in ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'' and ''[[Parachute (Game & Watch)|Parachute]]'', but his moves in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series reference various Game & Watch games, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', using these moves temporarily changes his appearance to match the characters from those games. Throughout his appearances, Mr. Game & Watch is generally depicted as a flat 2D character (even when in 3D space), matching the 2D graphics of Game & Watch games.
 
'''Mr. Game & Watch''' is a 2-D character and mascot of the ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'' games and the [[Game & Watch]] handheld systems. Despite this, however, none of the original ''Game & Watch'' games feature Mr. Game & Watch, instead featuring a variety of other usually nameless characters. Mr. Game & Watch himself is a compilation of all of these characters, first designed to function as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. His appearance seems to be based on the generic people in ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'' and ''[[Parachute]]''.

Although Mr. Game & Watch does not appear in any of the original Game & Watch systems, his moveset in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is almost entirely based on games within the series.

Mr. Game & Watch's first appearance, although he looks a bit different from his later appearances. In ''Wario Land 4'', Mr Game & Watch is the Shop Keeper of the [[Wario Land 4#Item Shop|Item Shop]]. However, the Mr. Game & Watch in ''Wario Land 4'' has eyes, but this was changed for his later cameos.

Mr. Game & Watch makes his debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as the final unlockable character. He can be unlocked by playing 1,000 Melee matches, beating the [[smashwiki:Classic Mode|Classic]] or [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode|Adventure]] mode with every other character, or by clearing [[Break the Targets!|Target Test]] with every other character. Afterward, the player must defeat Mr. Game & Watch on [[List of stages debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Flat Zone|Flat Zone]] to unlock him. In All-Star mode, the Mr. Game and Watch team is always the final enemy stage. Here, the player must beat 25 Mr. Game & Watchs.

{{main|SmashWiki:Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)}}
Mr. Game & Watch also appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' with the rest of the Mario cast. Here, he was the final unlockable, as the player would have to get all the other 24 characters. After beating Classic or Adventure with every other character, the player will be challenged by Mr. Game & Watch in [[Flat Zone]]. By beating him, he is then unlocked. In All-Star mode, the team Mr. Game and Watch are always the final enemies to beat. Here the player must beat to 25 Mr. Game & Watches.  His movement in the game was unusual as he moved in G&W Quartams. All of his "voice" clips (including screams, taunts, and other such noises) are actually the sounds heard when playing the various Game & Watch titles.


Mr. Game & Watch is unique in that his movements are individual frames like with a Game & Watch game. All of his "voice" clips (including screams, taunts, and other such noises) are also sounds heard during various Game & Watch titles. Mr. Game & Watch is portrayed as one of the lightest characters in the game thanks to his flat appearance, heavier than only [[#Pichu|Pichu]] and tied with [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros.#Jigglypuff|Jigglypuff]], which makes him easier to KO, and his attacks, while powerful, are slow. However, his movement attributes including dash, walk, fall, fast-fall speeds, traction, and gravity are identical to [[Mario]]'s. Additionally, in Classic Mode, Mr. Game & Watch can only appear as an enemy in the multi-character fight for stage 8, though he can appear as an ally in Team and Giant battles. He is also the only character whose All-Star trophy is not affected by the background lighting and does not display him in an alternate coloration.
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
{{main|SmashWiki:Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB)}}
Mr. Game & Watch returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as an unlockable character. His [[Final Smash]] makes him transform into a giant octopus that extends its tentacles. After the octopus appears, anyone who gets hit by the tentacles will take damage. This octopus is from the [[Game & Watch]] ''[[Octopus (game)|Octopus]]'', which is also a mini-game in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''.


All of Mr. Game & Watch's moves also reference the various Game & Watch units. His standard special is Chef, which tosses food from a frying pan that deals damage if it hits; up to five pieces of food can be tossed, while pressing the button repeatedly causes food to be tossed out faster. Opponents can also be hit by the frying pan, which deals fire damage. His down special is Oil Panic, which absorbs projectiles in a bucket that can be dumped onto opponents to deal a combined damage total; if this move is used after three attacks are absorbed, Mr. Game & Watch throws out the oil in his bucket which has extreme damage and knockback, determined by adding up how much damage each of the projectiles absorbed would have done. His up special is Fire, which springs him into the air with a trampoline; unlike most up special moves, Mr. Game & Watch is not left helpless afterwards, and thus is able to attack, but he cannot use this move again until he lands on the ground. His side special is Judge, which has Mr. Game & Watch swing a hammer, its effects based on the number he holds up:
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
{|class="wikitable"
[[File:SubspaceIntro-GameWatch.png|thumb|200px|right|'''Mr. Game & Watch''', in the Subspace Emissary.]]
|-
In the ''Subspace Emissary'' from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Mr. Game & Watch clones made from [[Shadow Bug]]s are in direct command of the [[Battleship Halberd]]. In addition, according to his trophy information, his body produces Shadow Bugs - a substance that is used to form members of the Subspace Army, which can be endlessly extracted from him. He doesn't revolt against the Subspace Army at first, as he is unaware of the concept of good and evil. After [[Meta Knight]] gets back the Halberd, he takes control. [[Solid Snake|Snake]] knocks out all the Mr. Game & Watches out of an open window and into the Halberd's bridge, where they melt into Shadow Bugs that merge into [[Duon]], except for the real one. Following the foe's defeat, a Game & Watch trophy is left behind. Fox attempts to shoot it but Peach revives it and gives Mr. Game & Watch her [[Parasol]]. Mr. Game & Watch fiddles with it, then walks around with it in Game & Watch quartams, making Peach giggle. He then joins the party helping the rest throughout the game.

[[File:MrGWCameo-WarioWareTouched.png|frame|left|The icon of Mr. Game & Watch in ''WarioWare: Touched!''.]]
|-
Mr. Game & Watch made cameos on the menus of ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', and in the 'Games' icon in the character selection screen in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''. Several audiences in The Invent-Off stage cutscenes from ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' resemble Mr. Game & Watch people. Finally, he also appeared in the microgames that are based on the Game & Watch games.
|2||Has minimal knockback.

{{main|SmashWiki:Chef}}
|-
'''Chef''' is a move that Mr. Game & Watch uses in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is simply done by pressing the B button. He will pull out a [[Frying Pan]] and sling it up, flinging sausages into the air. However, in ''Brawl'', it can also toss ham and fish. The move usually does around 2-9 damage. The move is a long-distance, and the sausages can also get flung really high up. However, it doesn't go as far as other long-range moves. Nevertheless, the move is a perfect move for long-distance fighting. It is named after the ''[[Game & Watch]]'' game, ''[[Chef (Game & Watch)|Chef]]'', which had been used earlier in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Mr. Game & Watch will hurl other food objects instead of just sausages.
|8||Freezes the opponent and has weak vertical knockback.
|-
|9||Deals massive knockback, intended to resemble the effect of a fully charged hit of the [[List of Super Smash Bros. series items#Home-Run Bat|Home-Run Bat]] with the same sound effect. Can KO at single-digit damage percentages in some cases. It also has the strongest knockback of all Judge attacks.
|}
Mr. Game & Watch's standard attack is based on ''[[Greenhouse|Green House]]'', and his dash attack has him wearing the helmet from ''[[Helmet (Game & Watch)|Helmet]]''. For his strong attacks, Mr. Game & Watch's forward strong attack is the chair from ''[[Lion]]'', his down strong move has him flip a manhole cover from ''[[Manhole (Game & Watch)|Manhole]]'', and his up strong attack is the flag from ''[[Flagman]]''. His neutral aerial is the parachute from ''[[Parachute (Game & Watch)|Parachute]]'', his forward aerial is a package from ''[[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|Mario Bros.]]'', his back aerial is a turtle from ''[[Turtle Bridge]]'', his up aerial is based on ''[[Game & Watch#Games with a Mario-themed "Modern" version|Spitball Sparky]]'', and his down aerial is a key from ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' His side smash is the torch from ''[[Fire Attack]]'', his up smash has him wearing the helmet from ''[[Octopus (Game & Watch)|Octopus]]'', and his down smash is the hammers from ''[[Vermin]]''. All four of his throwing animations have him juggling the character like in ''[[Ball]]''. His taunt has him ring a bell, based on the alarm feature of Game & Watch units.


====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
If another player does manage to get past the flying food items, they will get hit by Mr. Game & Watch's frying pan. This does more damage, and will cause the opponent to fly away while burning.
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB)}}
Mr. Game & Watch returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as an unlockable character. He can be unlocked by playing 250 Brawl matches, clearing Target Smash!! with 30 characters on any difficulty, or having him join the party in The Subspace Emissary; with either of the former methods, he must be defeated on [[List of stages debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Flat Zone 2|Flat Zone 2]] to be unlocked. While he has been made heavier, he is still the second lightest character in the game (now only heavier than [[Jigglypuff]] and tied with [[Squirtle]]).


In terms of his moveset, his neutral aerial has been replaced with the fishbowl from ''Tropical Fish'', as the parachute is now a part of his up special move. His [[Final Smash]] is [[#Octopus|Octopus]], which transforms Mr. Game & Watch into the [[Octopus (character)|giant octopus]] from the Game & Watch unit ''[[Octopus (Game & Watch)|Octopus]]''.
===Judge===

The Shadow Bugs' trophy information explains that Mr. Game & Watch's body can endlessly produce them. [[Tabuu]] took note of the unique qualities of Mr. Game & Watch's body and uses him to create Shadow Bugs, which in turn are used to build up the [[Subspace Army]]. Mr. Game & Watch allows this to happen as he does not understand the concepts of good or evil.<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=April 10, 2008|url=www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea17.html|title=Mysteries of The Subspace Emissary|publisher=Smash Bros.

|'''Judge''', from ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' respectively.

}}
{{main|SmashWiki:Judge}}
'''Judge''' (known as '''Judgment''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'') is a move that Mr. Game & Watch uses in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''. It is his side special move. Mr. Game & Watch will hold up a flag with a number on it, and pulls out a [[Hammer]]. The Flag will show a number on the instant the attack is used and, depending on the number, the effect of the move will vary. After the number is shown, Mr. Game & Watch will hit the opponent (or sometimes himself), causing a different effect to the foe. When a person is about to attack the player, they should use Judge right when they attack them.


When [[Meta Knight]], [[Solid Snake|Snake]], and [[Lucario]] reach the bridge of the [[Halberd]], they find it being controlled by several copies of Mr. Game & Watch. Snake knocks out all the Mr. Game & Watches out of an open window and into the ship's main deck, where the Shadow Bugs merge into [[Duon]]. Following the foe's defeat, the real Mr. Game & Watch's trophy is left behind. [[Fox]] attempts to shoot it but [[Princess Peach|Peach]] revives it and scolds him, but gives Mr. Game & Watch her [[Parasol]] to cheer him up.
Judge is based on the Game & Watch game ''Judge'', and Mr. Game & Watch's actions when performing Judge are similar to those done by the protagonists of ''Judge''. This game was also put into ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'', before ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' was released.


Mr. Game & Watch appears alongside the other characters to confront [[Tabuu]] at the [[Entrance to Subspace]], but along with the others is reverted back into a Trophy by his Off Waves. He is later revived by [[Luigi]], [[Ness]], and [[King Dedede]] to fight Tabuu at the center of [[The Great Maze]].
====Effects====
With some very minor differences, in both games the attacks remain roughly the same.


Mr. Game & Watch is the only major character to not have a snapshot.
*1 - An attack that causes only 2% damage which doesn't even cause the opponent to flinch. Mr. Game & Watch also does 12% damage to himself.
*2 - A weak attack at 4% damage.
*3 - A 6% damage attack which pierces defenses and causes the opponent to fly towards Mr. Game & Watch.
*4 - An 8% damage slash which launches the opponent diagonally.
*5 - An attack that deals electric damage three times, dealing 4% damage each time.
*6 - A 12% flame attack (which can be disastrous if near any explosives.)
*7 - Creates an [[food|apple]] and causes 14% damage.
*8 - A freezing attack which deals 9% damage.
*9 - An electric attack, comparable to a hit from the [[Home-Run Bat]], which causes 32% damage.


====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''====
===Fire===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSB4)}}
[[File:MrGWFire-Melee.png|200px|thumb|right|'''Fire''']]
Mr. Game & Watch reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' as an unlockable character. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', he can be unlocked by playing 90 Smash matches or by clearing Classic mode 10 times, and must be defeated on Flat Zone 2. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', he can be unlocked by either playing 80 Smash matches or by clearing Classic mode on Intensity 2.0 or higher with five characters, and must then be defeated on [[Flat Zone X]].
{{main|SmashWiki:Fire}}
'''Fire''' is an attack that is used by Mr. Game & Watch in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is executed by pressing Up on the Control Stick, and then pressing the B Button. A fire crew will appear out of nowhere, and appear underneath him. They will bounce him back up onto the field with a trampoline. It acts as his third jump, and can also be used to damage opponents, by jumping into an enemy. It is a very useful third jump, as Mr. Game & Watch jumps very high up into the air. Unlike in the next game, Mr. Game & Watch doesn't open a parachute at the end of the attack, becomes helpless. The attack is named after the Game & Watch game called ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'', which was previously included in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''.


His inclusion in the game was briefly hinted at in [[Pac-Man]]'s reveal trailer, where at the end of the video, the screen compares the debut years between him, Pac-Man, [[Mario]], and [[Donkey Kong]]. His debut year is technically incorrect, because Mr. Game & Watch did not exist as a character until ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', and his ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' trophy description considers his debut to be 2002's ''Game & Watch Gallery''. Despite being hinted at in the trailer, he was not officially confirmed to be in the game until its release, and was not officially revealed until afterward.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Mr. Game & Watch gains a parachute to slow his descent on the way down, similarly to [[Peach Parasol]]. In ''Melee'', the parachute was originally his standard air attack, but it doesn't slow his descent in any way. Canceling his parachute causes Mr. Game & Watch to not use his up-special again until he touches the ground (although this attack no longer leaves Mr. Game & Watch helpless). To compromise its new role in ''Brawl'', he gains a new standard air attack based on the Game & Watch game called ''Tropical Fish'', which was previously included in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery Advance]]''.


Mr. Game & Watch's appearance has been altered a bit, which includes having a smaller nose, and more rounded hands, as well as being smaller in size. While his moveset is unchanged from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', there are minor differences in his looks when performing certain moves. He is also given a new down taunt in which he sits down and sighs, based on ''Mario Bros.''
===Oil Panic===
{{multiframe

|'''Oil Panic''', while being charged up, and when it's released.
|size=420
|align=left
}}
{{main|SmashWiki:Oil Panic}}
'''Oil Panic''' is a move used by Mr. Game & Watch in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is done by pressing down+B. Mr. Game & Watch will then pull out a bucket, which he can use to suck in any energy projectiles (like [[Pikachu|Pikachu's]] [[Thunder Jolt]], or [[Fox McCloud|Fox's]] [[Fox McCloud#Blaster|Blaster]]). After absorbing three blows, all Mr. Game & Watch has to do now is wait for the right timing, and then press B. This will launch a bucket load of oil at the opponent. The damage varies depending on the projectiles the player absorbed. It can do about 3% of damage, to 150%, to an instant KO. Because of this, and how the attack works, it is very difficult to master, but is incredibly powerful once done correctly.


In terms of customizations, Mr. Game & Watch is the only fighter who can be equipped with the Torch, Watch Battery, and Microchip equipment.
This move is named after a Game & Watch game called ''[[Oil Panic (game)|Oil Panic]]'', which is available in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]''.


====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
===Octopus===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSBU)}}
[[File:FinalSmashBrawl MGW.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Octopus''']]
Mr. Game & Watch makes a reappearance  as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In this installment, every time he uses a move, his appearance changes to reflect the graphics from the respective game from which the move originates. Additionally, when Mr. Game & Watch throws an opponent, they turn into their stock icon in his juggling animation from ''Ball''. His Final Smash has also been altered somewhat; after Mr. Game & Watch turns into Octopus, he grabs opponents and takes them off of the screen, rather than attacking them with arms.
{{main|SmashWiki:Octopus}}
'''Octopus''' is Mr. Game & Watch's [[Final Smash]] featured in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. When Game & Watch breaks open the [[Smash Ball]], he will transform into the [[Octopus (Game & Watch Character)|Octopus]] from the [[Game & Watch]] game of the same name. The Octopus will float above the stage, with the option to attack by extending its tentacles, or ram opponents with its body. When extending its tentacles, the body won't do as much damage. Because it hovers directly above the stage, it will fall and KO Mr. Game & Watch if it leaves the side of the stage. It can do a mid-air jump, and in [[Rumble Falls]], it can jump off of platforms, but other than the mid-air jump, it has no recovery move.


Prior to the game's release, controversy arose surrounding a move animation used by Mr. Game & Watch, which featured a stereotypical depiction of a Native American that was based off the 1982 ''Game & Watch'' title, ''[[Fire Attack]]''.<ref>{{cite|url=mynintendonews.com/2018/11/06/super-smash-bros-ultimate-is-being-criticized-for-racist-mr-game-watch|title=Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is Being Criticized For “Racist Mr. Game & Watch”|publisher=My Nintendo News|date=November 6, 2018|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref> Nintendo has released a software update post-launch that replaces the animation with one that is similar to that of ''Game & Watch Gallery 4''.
This move is named after a Game & Watch game called ''Octopus'', which is available in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery Advance]]''.

===Other Attacks===
====Greenhouse====
'''Greenhouse''' is Mr. Game & Watch's Standard Attack move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', based on [[Stanley the Bugman]]'s [[Bug-Spray Gun]] from ''[[Greenhouse]]''. Unlike in ''Greenhouse'', however, the attack sprays clouds horizontally, which can build up damage and trap opponents inside by rapidly pressing the Attack Button.

Mr. Game & Watch holds out a chair as his side A strong attack, based on the lion tamers in ''[[Lion]]''.
====Fire Attack====
'''Fire Attack''' is Mr. Game & Watch's Side Smash move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', from the ''Game & Watch'' of the same name. Mr. Game & Watch will attack opponents by using a torch, like the Indians in ''Fire Attack''.
====Manhole====
Mr. Game & Watch flips a manhole cover from ''[[Manhole]]'' beneath him while using his down A attack.
====Vermin====
'''Vermin''' is Mr. Game & Watch's Down Smash move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', from ''[[Vermin]]''. Mr. Game & Watch attacks from both sides using twin hammers.

{{quote|You get one star for every 200 points.|Mr. Game & Watch|Game & Watch Gallery 4}}
In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', Mr. Game & Watch is prominently featured in the Gift Mode in the [[Gallery Corner]], featured alongside [[Mario]] as the hosts of the mode. In it, Mr. Game & Watch and Mario will give tips towards unlocking extras, as well as explain various Gift games when they are unlocked. This is his only speaking role.


===''WarioWare'' series===
====Octopus====
Mr. Game & Watch makes cameos on the menus of ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' and in the "Games" icon in the character selection screen in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' The members of the [[Diamond Academy Audience]] from ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' resemble Mr. Game & Watch. He also appears in the microgames that are based on the ''Game & Watch'' games.
Not to be confused with Mr. Game & Watch's Final Smash, his Up Smash involves him headbutting a target above him while wearing the diver's helmet from ''Octopus''.
 
====Parachute====
'''Parachute''' is the name of Mr. Game & Watch's Standard Aerial move in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.  The move is slow in execution, but it does have good range, and packs a decent amount of power too.


Mr. Game & Watch-like people appear in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'' in the multiplayer game [[Survival Fever]], where they cheer for the players. They say "1, 2, 3!" when a microgame is about to start and cheer more if the player(s) beat the microgame, but if they fail, they will boo them and some will leave.
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', this move was replaced by Tropical Fish. Parachute was instead used after the player uses Fire, which is used for recovery and does 6% damage to opponents.


In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', multiple Mr. Game & Watch-like figures appear on the large-screen television in the League Arena microgame modes when the player wins or loses a microgame.
====Tropical Fish====

It is unlocked by scanning a Mr. Game & Watch [[amiibo]] or unlocked randomly by clearing 100 Mario Challenge on Expert setting.

====Donkey Kong Jr.====
In the English version of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Mr. Game & Watch's trophy lists ''Game & Watch Gallery'' as his game appearance despite not making a physical appearance in that game. In the Japanese version, his game appearance was listed simply ''Game & Watch'' with the logo for the Game & Watch replacing the Game Boy logo.
Mr. Game & Watch rushes down with a key, in the same manner as ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' in the ''Game & Watch'' of the same name.

They were powered by large-scale integrated circuits and only had mono-chrome LCD displays, so characters kinda looked like the numbers on a calculator. The guy you're looking at now, Mr. Game & Watch, was a character who appeared in these games.

==Trivia==
[[File:Smash Ultimate Mr. Game & Watach.png|thumb|80px|The misspelled name on the website]]
*Mr. Game & Watch is the only character in the game to not get his name below him when he shows up in The Subspace Emissary in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
[[File:WL4 Item Shopkeeper Sprites.png|thumb|left|The shop owner]]
*Mr. Game & Watch is the only character in ''Melee'' whose All-Star trophy does not display him in an alternate coloration. Additionally, that trophy isn't affected by the background lighting, which is shown with most trophies.
*When turned into metal by a [[Cap Block#Super Smash Bros. series|Metal Box]], Mr. Game & Watch will still make beeping sound effects as usual. This is likely because they are not considered to be voice effects. He also appears more 3D when metal.
*When turned into metal by a [[Metal Box]], Mr. Game & Watch will still make beeping noises when attacking, moving around, or taking damage. This is likely because he has no voice effects. He also appears more 3-D when metal.
**In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', however, Mr. Game & Watch will make clanking noises while moving in metal form.
**In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', however, Mr. Game & Watch will make clanking noises while moving in metal form.
**While Mr. Game & Watch keeps his silver outline in his metal form in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', his outline becomes black in his metal form in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
*Out of all the characters who had false versions of themselves (Peach, Zelda, Diddy Kong, Bowser, and Mr. Game and Watch), Mr. Game & Watch was the only one not to have a shadowy aura around him.
*On his [https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/26.html fighter page] on the mobile version of the official English ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' website, Mr. Game & Watch's name was originally misspelled "Mr. Game & Watach". This mistake has since been corrected.
**He was also the only playable character to have multiple false versions of himself.
*The [[shop owner]] from ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' resembles Mr. Game & Watch.
*His Metal form is like a palette switch, as he becomes silver with a black outline.
*Mr. Game & Watch is not immediately playable after being met in the Subspace Emissary.
