In the ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'' games, Mr. Game & Watch appears along with many of the [[Mario]] cast. The difference is that Mr. Game & Watch is only playable in the classic versions of the games, while the Mario characters are playable in the modern versions. Mr. Game & Watch also appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' with the rest of the Mario cast. Mr. Game & Watch also appears in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''.

{{quote|You must be getting pretty good at [[Game & Watch|some of these]] by now!|Mr. Game & Watch|Game & Watch Gallery 4}}
'''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.


==History==
In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', [[Princess Shokora]] runs the item shop in disguise as a stick figure that resembles Mr. Game & Watch.
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
== Special moves (SSBM) ==
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
* '''B:''' [[Chef (Game & Watch)|Chef]]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)}}
* '''Smash B:''' [[Judgement]]
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.
* '''Up & B:''' [[Fire (Move)|Fire]]
* '''Down & B:''' [[Oil Panic]]


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.
{{SSB}}


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:
[[Category: Characters]]

|-
!#!!Description

|-
|2||Has minimal knockback.
|-

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

|-

|-
|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.

|}
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''====
{{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]]''.
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
[[File:SubspaceIntro-GameWatch.png|thumb|upright=1.1|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>{{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. DOJO!!|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</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]] attempts to shoot it but [[Princess Peach|Peach]] revives it and scolds him, but gives Mr. Game & Watch her [[Parasol]] to cheer him up.
 
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]].
 
Mr. Game & Watch is the only major character to not have a snapshot.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSB4)}}
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]].
 
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.
 
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.''
 
In terms of customizations, Mr. Game & Watch is the only fighter who can be equipped with the Torch, Watch Battery, and Microchip equipment.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSBU)}}
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.
 
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''.
 
Mr. Game & Watch Plant's Classic Mode route is "A Long Legacy," and it involves these battles in the following order:
 
#[[Kirby]] (gray costume) at {{iw|smashwiki|Dream Land GB}}
#[[Pac-Man]] at {{iw|smashwiki|Pac-Land}}
#{{iw|smashwiki|Duck Hunt (SSBU)|Duck Hunt}} at {{iw|smashwiki|Duck Hunt (stage)}}
#[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] at [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros.]]
#[[Donkey Kong]] (red costume) at [[75 m (stage)|75 m]]
#Horde Battle against six Mr. Game & Watches at {{iw|smashwiki|Flat Zone X}}
#Final boss against {{iw|smashwiki|Master Hand}} (and {{iw|smashwiki|Crazy Hand}} on {{iw|smashwiki|Difficulty|intensity}} 7.0 or higher) at {{iw|smashwiki|Final Destination (SSBU)|Final Destination}}

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]], 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.

*'''Otacon''': That's Mr. Game & Watch. He comes from a world where everything is flat. Game & Watch was a series of portable games released by Nintendo in 1980. 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.

*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.
**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]]''.
*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.
*The [[shop owner]] from ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' resembles Mr. Game & Watch.
