'''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 the star of the [[Game & Watch]] gallery games and the Game & Watch handheld systems. Mr. Game & Watch debuted in 1980, making him one of the first creations of [[Nintendo]], but was not named until 2001's ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.


==History==
==History==
===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===
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.

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)}}
[[Image:Mr.GameandWatchart.jpg|thumb|left|Mr. Game & Watch in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.]]
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.
[[Image:GAMEWATCHTEAM.JPG|frame|right|Mr. Game & Watch team in All-Star mode.]]
 
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.
<br clear=all>
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
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 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:
{|class="wikitable"
|-
!#!!Description
|-
|1||A very weak hit that does not inflict flinching or knockback, and inflicts 12% damage to the user.
|-
|2||Has minimal knockback.
|-
|3||Similar to the [[List of Super Smash Bros. series items#Fan|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 [[List of Super Smash Bros. series items#Food|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 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''====
{{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]]
[[Image:Mr_GW_Subspace_Emissary.jpg|thumb|200px|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>{{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>
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 him her [[Parasol]]. Mr. Game & Watch fiddles with it, then walks around with it in Game & Watch quantums, making Peach giggle. He then joins the party helping the rest throughout the game.


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.
===''WarioWare'' series===
Mr. Game & Watch also appears in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', in the classic Game & Watch games.


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]].
==Special Moves==
===Chef===
[[Image:Chef_Brawl.jpg|thumb|200px|right|'''Chef''' in ''Brawl''.]]
[[Image:Mr.GameandWatchbmove.jpg|thumb|left|'''Chef''' in ''Melee''.]]
'''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 sausage into the air. The move usually does around 2-9 damage. The move is a long-distance, and the sausage 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]]''.


Mr. Game & Watch is the only major character to not have a snapshot.
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Mr. Game & Watch will hurl other food objects instead of just sausages.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''====
===Judge===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSB4)}}
[[Image:Judge.jpg|thumb|left|'''Judge''']]
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]].
'''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 performed by pressing Side + B. He holds 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.


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.
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'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.''
====Effects====
With some very minor differences, in both games the attacks remain roughly the same


In terms of customizations, Mr. Game & Watch is the only fighter who can be equipped with the Torch, Watch Battery, and Microchip equipment.
*1 - An attack that causes only 2% damage which doesn't even cause the opponent to flinch. Mr. Game and 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 and 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 - Lucky number 7! Creates [[Food|food]] 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.
<br clear=all>


====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
===Fire===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSBU)}}
[[Image:Mr.GameandWatchbupmove.jpg|thumb|'''Fire''']]
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.
'''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. The attack is named after the Game & Watch game called ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'', which was previously included in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''.


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''.
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. 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 4]]''.
<br clear=all>
===Oil Panic===
[[Image:Oil_Panic.jpg|thumb|160px|left|'''Oil Panic''', charging up.]]
[[Image:Oil_Panic2.jpg|thumb|'''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|Fox's]] [[Blaster (move)|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 and instant KO. Because of this, and how the attack works, it is very difficult to master, but is incredibly powerful once done correctly.


Mr. Game & Watch Plant's Classic Mode route is "A Long Legacy," and it involves these battles in the following order:
This move is named after a Game & Watch game called ''[[Oil Panic (game)|Oil Panic]]'', which is available in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]''.

'''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.

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.

===Other Attacks===
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.
====Greenhouse====
'''Greenhouse''' is Mr. Game & Watch's Standard Attack move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', similar to [[Greenhouse]]. He acts like [[Stanley the Bugman]] by using a [[Bug-Spray Gun]] and sprays fighters horizontally (which was actually impossible in Greenhouse). Bug-Spray clouds will come out that hurt fighters. Fighters can also be locked inside the clouds, by using it faster, by pressing rapidly the Attack Button.


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.
====Fire Attack====
'''Fire Attack''' is Mr. Game & Watch's Side Smash move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', acting as [[Fire Attack]]. Mr. Game & Watch will attack the fighters by using a torch, like the attackers of Fire Attack. This is one of the Smash moves that uses fire, and surely is effective.


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.

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.
*'''Snake''': Otacon, there's a guy walking around in here...and he's only got two dimensions!
===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
*'''Otacon''': That's Mr. Game & Watch. He comes in 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 circuts and had only monocrome 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.

|game=Game & Watch<br>1980
|desc=First appearing in 1980, the Game & Watch series is the father of all portable liquid crystal games. The main character is simple and monochrome but has a timeless individuality. There are 39 different games in the series and they've sold over 43 million units worldwide. Pictured at left is the particularly popular Fire model.

|desc=A resident of a totally flat world, Mr. Game & Watch's frame-by-frame movement is distinctive. His image is known far and wide and respected by gamers everywhere. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, he hurls sausages with his Chef technique. The random strength of his Judgment is determined by the number displayed; food appears on lucky 7.

|desc=A man of great stature in the world of Nintendo characters, Mr. Game & Watch is a comparatively light fellow and doesn't feature many powerful attacks. When he's in danger of falling, Fire calls out a rescue brigade to send him skyward once more. He can also catch missile weapons with Oil Panic; once he's caught three, he can dump the bucket on his foes.

|desc=The monochrome hero of the Game & Watch series, a fellow who oozes personality. First appearing in 1980, the series were the original portable game systems. The first games in the series were quite simple, but as time passed, technology evolved. The multiscreen series featured game play on dual screens. As the name states, the games also kept time.

|desc=Mr. Game & Watch's Final Smash. He turns into the huge cephalopod that made its debut in the Game & Watch game Octopus. Of course, you can damage enemies by running into them, but you can do more damage by pressing the attack button to extend four arms and launch foes. In the original Octopus game, you had to avoid the octopus while salvaging treasure from the sea.

|desc=Game & Watch was first released in 1980, making the series the father of the Game Boy and Nintendo DS. Or maybe an older sibling? Anyway...in Smash Bros., Mr. Game & Watch uses distinct retro moves to damage his foes. However, he's only two dimensional, so he's pretty easy to send flying.
|desc2=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. He can string together some pretty powerful attacks but, unfortunately, being 2D makes him very easy to launch.

;Palutena's Guidance
*'''[[Pit (character)|Pit]]''': Hey, it's a Shadow Bug!
*'''[[Palutena]]''': No, that's just Mr. Game & Watch.
*'''Viridi''': Watch out for number nine. Pit.
*'''Pit''': Uh, what are you talking about?
*'''Palutena''': Mr. Game & Watch's Judge attack displays random numbers. And when it displays "9," the attack is devastating.
*'''Viridi''': Getting hit with a nine will knock out any fighter with a single strike, no matter who it is. When his back is against the wall, Mr. Game & Watch might try his luck with a Judge attack.
*'''Pit''': Leaving victory up to luck doesn't seem like the best strategy.
*'''Palutena''': Well, luck is part of every victory.
*'''Viridi''': So you'd better watch yourself, Pit.
 
===amiibo===
*''This monochrome, two-dimensional hero represents the handheld Game & Watch series, first released in 1980. More recently, Mr. Game & Watch can be found using his retro fighting moves to battle foes in the Super Smash Bros. series of games.''
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
*'''{{iw|smashwiki|Super Smash Blog}} bio:''' ''When using his side special, Judge, this fighter pulls out a hammer and the numbers 1-9 are displayed. If you pull off a 9 attack, it will really knock the opponent back. His Final Smash turns him into an octopus that can pull opponents off the stage!''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
[[File:Smash Ultimate Mr. Game & Watach.png|thumb|80px|The misspelled name on the website]]
*Before ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' was released, a character called 8-Bit was rumored to be in the game, but it was later revealed that the character was Mr. Game & Watch.{{fact}}
[[File:WL4 Item Shopkeeper Sprites.png|thumb|left|The shop owner]]
*Since all of the Mr. Game & Watch's moves in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' are derived from ''[[Game & Watch]]'' games, some of these moves are used by [[Mario]] in his respective ''Game & Watch'' games. (Example: Mr. Game & Watch uses a pack from [[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|''Mario Bros.'']]). This shows a little similarity to these characters.
*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.
*Mr. Game & Watch is the only character in the game to not get his name below him when he shows up in the Adventure mode of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
**In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', however, Mr. Game & Watch will make clanking noises while moving in metal form.
*He is also the only character in ''Melee'' to not get a different coloured outfit for his All-Star trophy.
**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]]''.
*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.
*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.
<br clear=all>
*The [[shop owner]] from ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' resembles Mr. Game & Watch.
