'''Mr. Game & Watch''' is a 2-D character and is now the 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 off of the generic people in ''[[Fire]]'' and ''[[Parachute]]''. Since he is made of Shadow Bugs, it is possible that his species is some kind of super Shadow Bug. 

==History==
===''[[Game & Watch]]''===
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.

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

===''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns''===
He makes a small appearence in a trailer for the game.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee====
[[Image:Mr.GameandWatchart.jpg|thumb|left|Mr. Game & Watch in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.]] 
[[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.
<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]] ''[[Octopus (game)|Octopus]]'', which is also a mini-game in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''.

=====The Subspace Emissary=====
[[Image:Mr_GW_Subspace_Emissary.jpg|thumb|200px|left|'''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.

===''WarioWare'' series===
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.

==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 sausages into the air. 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.

If another player does manage to get past the flying food items, he/she will get hit by Mr. Game & Watch's frying pan.  This does more damage, and will cause the opponent to fly away while burning.
<br clear=all>

===Judge===
[[Image:Judge.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''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 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.

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.

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

*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.
<br clear=all>

===Fire===
[[Image:Mr.GameandWatchbupmove.jpg|200px|thumb|'''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. The attack is named after the Game & Watch game called ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'', which was previously included in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''.

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|200px|left|'''Oil Panic''', charging up.]]
[[Image:Oil_Panic2.jpg|200px|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 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.

This move is named after a Game & Watch game called ''[[Oil Panic (game)|Oil Panic]]'', which is available in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]''.
<br clear=all>
===Octopus===
[[image:FinalSmashBrawl_MGW.jpg|200px|thumb|'''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.

This move is named after a Game & Watch game called ''Octopus'', which is available in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''.
<br clear=all>

===Other Attacks===
====Greenhouse====
'''Greenhouse''' is Mr. Game & Watch's Standard Attack move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', based off of [[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.

====Lion====
Mr. Game & Watch holds out a chair as his side A strong attack, based off of 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.

====Flagman====
Mr. Game & Watch waves the 1 flag from ''[[Flagman]]'' above him in an arc, as his Up A attack.

====Octopus====
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.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', this move was replaced by Tropical Fish.  Parachute was instead used after the player uses Fire, which slows down Mr. Game & Watch's descent, but could no longer damage opponents.

====Tropical Fish====
[[Image:TropicalFish.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''Tropical Fish''']]

'''Tropical Fish''' is the name of Mr. Game & Watch's Standard Aerial move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Its name is based on the [[Game & Watch]] game ''Tropical Fish''.  It replaces the move Parachute from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
<br clear=all>

====Mario Bros.====
Mr. Game & Watch's Forward Aerial swings a package from ''[[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|Mario Bros.]]'' in front of him.

====Spitball Sparky====
While using his Up Aerial move, Mr. Game & Watch shoots a puff of air and loses his arms, referencing ''[[Spitball Sparky]]''. The move can blow distant targets away, much like Spitball Sparky can do with his ball.

====Turtle Bridge====
Mr. Game & Watch swings a turtle from ''[[Turtle Bridge]]'' behind him as his Back Aerial move, which can score multiple hits.

====Donkey Kong Jr.====
Mr. Game & Watch rushes down with a key, in the same manner as [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] in the ''Game & Watch'' of the same name.

====Ball====
All four of Mr. Game & Watch's throws are based on the marionette from ''[[Ball]]'', which could juggle two or three balls at a time.

====Helmet====
As his Running Attack, Mr. Game & Watch sports the helmet from ''[[Helmet]]''.

====Alarm Bell====
Mr. Game & Watch uses a bell whenever he taunts.  In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', two of his taunts involved the bell.  The bell was also used to pummel an opponent that Mr. Game & Watch has grabbed, as well as attack while climbing up a ledge.

===[[Solid Snake]] Codec Conversation===
*'''Snake''': Otacon, there's a guy walking around in here...and he's only got two dimensions!
*'''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.
*'''Snake''': This is making my head hurt.
*'''Otacon''': Well, um... He's... I mean... Look, just start fighting him, and I'm sure everything will make sense.

==Trivia==
*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''.
*Mr. Game & Watch is the only character in ''Melee'' whose All-Star trophy does not 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 3-D when metal.
*Out of all the characters who had false versions of themselves, (Peach, Zelda, Diddy Kong, Bowser, and Mr. Game and Watch) Mr. Game and Watch was the only one not to have a shadowy aura around him.
