| The '''Octopus''' is a character who guards treasure from the diver in its [[nwiki:Octopus|self-titled game]] for the [[Game & Watch]]. It has seldomly appeared in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], mainly just in remakes of ''Octopus'', where it has a role of guarding sunken treasure from the player; if the Octopus grabs the player, the game registers a miss.

| |
|
| ==History==
| | The Octopus, is a giant octopus that guarded treasure from both [[Mario]] and [[Mr. Game & Watch]], it lives under [[the sea]] and is slightly similar to [[Gooper Blooper]]. |
| ===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===
| |
| ====''Game & Watch Gallery''====

| |
| In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', a port of the original ''[[Octopus (Game & Watch)|Octopus]]'' exists where it is played exactly the same, and so the Octopus's role is the same; however, a remake also exists in which [[Mario]] replaces the diver and goes down to steal the Octopus's treasure. Mario, however, can use his treasure as a weapon by throwing it at the Octopus, stunning whichever arm is hit temporarily.

|
| ====''Game & Watch Gallery 4''==== | | == History == |
| In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', another port of the original ''Octopus'' is unlockable and playable, and it is a more authentic port than the one seen in ''Game & Watch Gallery''. Another remake also appears; this time the Octopus has the ability to change color (orange, green, or blue), and it does so each time Mario earns 200 [[point]]s. Mario can fight it back again by throwing his treasure sack at it, making the Octopus recoil and cry.

|
| The Octopus, or at least its arms, also appears in a sequence that plays if the player selects the game yet does not actually start it. Mario arrives with a bag of loot in one hand and a [[Game Boy Advance]] in another. However, he ends up surrounded by four octopus arms (two on each side) that are menacing him. Trapped, he then calls on a [[Lakitu]] to help him. He then grabs the fishing pole of Lakitu and, trying to hold on, is ultimately forced to drop his belongings, with a crown and gold objects falling out of the loot bag. Finally, each octopus arm retrieves a treasure, including the loot bag itself as well as the GBA.
