'''Mr. Game & Watch''' is a 2D character meant to serve as the mascot of the ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'' games and the [[Game & Watch]] handheld systems. Mr. Game & Watch is not a character from any of the Game & Watch titles, instead being created as a playable character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' to represent the Game & Watch line. His appearance seems to be based on the generic people in ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'' and ''[[Parachute]]''.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)}}

Mr. Game & Watch makes his character debut in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as the final unlockable character. He can be unlocked by playing 1000 Melee matches, beating [[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 [[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 twenty-five Mr. Game & Watches.

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]] and tied with [[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.

All of Mr. Game & Watch's moves also reference the various [[Game & Watch]] units. His standard special is [[#Chef|Chef]], which tosses food from a frying pan. His down special is [[#Oil Panic|Oil Panic]], which absorbs projectiles in a bucket that can be dumped onto opponents to deal a combined damage total. His up special is [[#Fire|Fire]], which springs him into the air with a trampoline. His side special is [[#Judge|Judge]], which has Mr. Game & Watch swing a hammer, its effects based on the number he holds up. His standard attack is based on ''[[Greenhouse]]'', 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]]'', 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 ''[[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.

{{main-external|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 [[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]]).

[[File:SubspaceIntro-GameWatch.png|thumb|upright=1.1|left|Mr. Game & Watch in the Subspace Emissary]]

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>[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea17.html Mysteries of the Subspace Emissary - Smash Bros. DOJO!!]. Retrieved April 30, 2017.</ref>

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 McCloud|Fox]] attempts to shoot it but [[Princess Peach]] revives it and scolds him, but gives Mr. Game & Watch her [[Parasol]] to cheer him up.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSB4)}}

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 wasn't officially confirmed to be in the game until its release, and was not officially revealed until afterward.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSBU)}}

Mr. Game & Watch will make a reappearance as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In this installment, every time he uses a move, his appearance changes to reflect his original appearance in the game from which the move originates.<ref>Nintendo. (June 12, 2018).

Retrieved June 15, 2018.</ref> Additionally, when Mr. Game & Watch throws an opponent, they turn into their stock icon in his juggling animation from ''Ball''.<ref>[https://youtu.be/Ic0xR07DhSY 26: Mr. Game & Watch – Super Smash Bros.

'''Chef''' is Mr. Game & Watch's standard special move, based upon the [[Game & Watch]] unit ''[[Chef]]'' released in 1981. Mr. Game & Watch tosses food with 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.

 

 

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Mr. Game & Watch only tosses sausages while using this move. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward, he can toss shrimp, fish, and steak in addition to sausages, though the additional foods are aesthetic only.

 

 

 

'''Judge''' (known as '''Judgment''' in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'') is Mr. Game & Watch's side special move, based on ''[[Judge]]'' released in 1980. When used, Mr. Game & Watch attacks with his hammer and holds up a digital display with random number (ranging from 1 to 9) on it. Each number has a different effect on the victim(s) and possibly Mr. Game & Watch himself. The effects associated with numbers are as follows:

{| class="wikitable"

|-

|-

| 1 || A very weak hit that does not inflict flinching or knockback, and inflicts 12% damage to the user.

| 2 || Has minimal knockback. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', it has a 20% chance of [[tripping]] a opponent

| 3 || Similar to the [[Fan]]'s attack, as it launches the opponent towards Mr. Game & Watch.

|-

| 4 || Inflicts a slashing attack that launches opponents diagonally.

| 5 || Produces four electrical charges that zap the opponent, making them rise slightly.

| 6 || Deals flame damage and threatens recovering opponents, it has the second strongest knockback of all Judge attacks.

| 7 || Deals moderate knockback. If the attack connects and Mr. Game & Watch is on the ground, a [[food]] item will appear in reference to the number 7 being associated with luck.

| 8 || Freezes the opponent and has weak vertical knockback.

| 9 || Deals massive knockback, intended to resemble the effect of the [[Home-Run Bat]]. Can KO at single-digit damage percentages in some cases. It also has the strongest knockback of all Judge attacks.

In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', Mr. Game & Watch, along with [[Mario]], hosts the Gift Mode in the Gallery Corner. This is his only speaking role.

Mr. Game & Watch makes 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. He also appears in the microgames that are based on the ''Game & Watch'' games.

Mr. Game & Watch like people appear in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'' in the multiplayer game [[Survival Fever]], they cheer for the players, and will say "1,2,3!" when a microgame is about to start, they will cheer more if the player(s) beat the microgame, but if they fail they will boo the player and some will leave.

[[File:Mr GameWatchSMM.PNG|thumb]]In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', there is an unlockable costume for [[Costume Mario#86|Costume Mario]] that looks like Mr. Game & Watch. It is unlocked by scanning a Mr. Game & Watch [[amiibo]] or unlocked randomly by clearing 100 Mario Challenge on Expert setting. Pressing {{button|wii|Padup}} will make Mr. Game & Watch take out his bell. He also takes out a parachute from Parachute after jumping.

|''Game & Watch was a series of handheld video games that started in 1980, before even the Game Boy. In this game, you can play as the guy who starred in them, moving about in his quirky, oh-so-retro little way.

**Moreover, Mr. Game & Watch is the only character in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' whose All-Star trophy doesn't display him in an alternate coloration.

*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 3D when metal.

**While Mr. Game & Watch keeps his silver outline in his Metal form in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', his outline becomes black in Metal form in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

*Mr. Game & Watch is the only ''Super Smash Bros.'' fighter who did not originate from any video game, being that he was a new character created for ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
