The alarm indicator of this game is a policeman that is located in the lower screen, under the lower screen's miss counter, and the policeman swings a bell when the alarm goes off. | |||

The game is set in a gas station where a leaky pipe is dripping oil. A station employee must collect these drops in a bucket and dump them into his boss's oil drum so that he may take them to the cars waiting beside the defunct gas pumps. He also needs to be quick, as the dripping oil is right above flammable sources that will cause a major fire if the droplets make contact with them (specifically, a smoking ashtray as well as two lit stoves). The bucket can hold only three drops of oil. For every drop of oil the employee catches, he receives a [[point]]. He earns a point for dumping one drop of oil into the oil drum, two points for dumping two drops, and five points for dumping three drops. As the game progresses, the oil will drip faster. If a drop is missed, if the bucket overflows, or if the employee dumps his bucket on a customer instead of in his boss's drum, he loses one of four lives. If the player earns 300 points without any misses, another boss with an oil drum will appear for 20 to 30 seconds, and any oil the employee dumps into either boss's oil drum will be worth double points. If the player has any misses at said score, all misses will be removed instead. This game uses two miss counters: one for missed or overflowing oil, and the other for spilling the oil onto customers. If the player gets three misses from either of those categories, they receive a [[Game Over]]. | |||

The Modern version is even farther from the original in that [[Bowser]] is actively dumping the oil from on top of a [[castle]], forcing [[Mario]] to collect it in not one but two buckets and give it to [[Yoshi]] for removal. Even if Yoshi is not close enough to Mario when he dumps oil to him, Yoshi can still catch it with his tongue. In this version, Mario earns three points for feeding Yoshi three drops of oil, six points for four drops, seven points for five drops, and 10 points for six drops. If Mario feeds Yoshi six drops of oil when Yoshi is on the edge of one side of the castle, he | [[File:Gwq_oil.png|thumb|160px|left|The Modern version of ''Oil Panic'']] | ||
The Modern version is even farther from the original in that [[Bowser]] is actively dumping the oil from on top of a [[castle]], forcing [[Mario]] to collect it in not one but two buckets and give it to [[Yoshi]] for removal. Even if Yoshi is not close enough to Mario when he dumps oil to him, Yoshi can still catch it with his tongue. In this version, Mario earns three points for feeding Yoshi three drops of oil, six points for four drops, seven points for five drops, and 10 points for six drops. If Mario feeds Yoshi six drops of oil when Yoshi is on the edge of one side of the castle, he will blow a [[fireball]] that will create a [[Rotating Block]]. If he creates four Rotating Blocks on the castle's left side, he will scale them and blast Bowser away from the castle, awarding the player 15 points. If Yoshi creates a Rotating Block on the castle's right side and blows a fireball on it, it will release [[coin]]s for bonus points. If Yoshi is not facing the proper direction, the oil will instead fall on either [[Luigi]] or [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] below, angering whichever one it hits. If the player has any misses at 200, 500, or 700 points, a [[? Block]] will appear on the castle's right side, and if Yoshi blows a fireball on it, it will release a [[1 UP Heart|heart]], which removes a miss if Mario catches it. However, if the player gets a miss before Yoshi blows a fireball on the ? Block, the block will disappear. The Modern version also features music, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game. | |||

Because of the [[Nintendo DS]]'s dual-screens, another port of ''Oil Panic'' was released in ''[[Game & Watch Collection]]''. Unlike the ''Game & Watch Gallery'' versions, this incarnation is exactly the same as the original ''Oil Panic''. | |||

{{main|Mr. Game & Watch#Oil Panic}} | |||
[[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s Oil Panic move in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] is inspired and named after this game. It involves Mr. Game & Watch collecting projectiles instead of oil, and when the bucket fills, he dumps it on an opponent, causing them damage. | |||
A background Mr. Game & Watch spills a tub of oil in the [[Flat Zone]] stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a homage to ''Oil Panic'' (though the similarity ends there, as the spilled oil actually remains and makes the ground slippery for a while in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''). Also, ''Oil Panic'' is one of the many Game & Watch games that appear in [[Flat Zone 2]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and [[Flat Zone X]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. | |||
===''WarioWare: Touched!''=== | |||
''Oil Panic'' appeared as a [[microgame]] in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' called [[Game & Watch Oil Panic]]. There is also a similar microgame called [[Drop in a Bucket]]. | |||
