==Gameplay==
===Classic version===
[[File:Game & Watch Gallery 2 Vermin Classic.png|thumb|left|The Classic version of ''Vermin'']]
Moles pop out of the ground, attempting to get into the player's garden. To keep them out, the player must move left and right and smack them with [[hammer]]s. The player earns a point for every mole they hit. As the game progresses, the moles will move faster. If any moles are left untouched for a few seconds, the player gets penalized with a miss. The player receives a [[Game Over]] when they have three misses. Game A features four different positions the moles come from, while Game B features five different positions.

Misses cannot be cleared at all in this Game & Watch title, which means the player needs to be very cautious.

===Modern version===
[[File:G&WG2 Vermin.png|thumb|left|The Modern version of ''Vermin'']]
The Modern version of this game features an [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] guarding six [[Yoshi Egg]]s from incoming [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, [[Fly Guy]]s, and [[Boo]]s. Different types of enemies move at different speeds. The Boos will not move if the Yoshi is looking at one. If any of the baddies are left unattended, they will start pounding the eggs. Each egg can only take up to three hits. If an egg gets completely broken, the enemy that broke the egg will mock the Yoshi, and the player will get a Game Over. Every 200 points, the player gets rewarded a bonus depending on how many unbroken eggs are on the field, and all the unbroken eggs also break themselves to reveal something good (i.e., [[Yoshi Cookie]]s at 200 points, [[fruit]]s at 400, [[Baby Yoshi]]s at 600, [[coin]]s at 800, and [[Super Star]]s at 1,000, with the cycle only continuing after that). [[Monty Mole]]s will also appear at 200, 500, and 700 points to lay a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] on the field. Hitting the heart with the hammer will recover a third of the damage done to the eggs. Unlike in the Classic version, music is featured, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game.
