The '''Gamewatch Boy''' (or '''GameWatch Boy''') is a wristwatch developed by Mani Industries (万信) of Hong Kong. It looks like a miniature [[Game Boy]] and has an LCD display that can play games. While it comes in a variety of colors, only two games were ever developed and both are ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games: ''Dr. Mario'' and ''Super Mario Race''. Both games have an A (beginner) and B (expert) difficulty setting. They were first released in 1992 and production continued until at least 1995. Like the [[Nelsonic Game Watch]], they were distributed in Europe by Zeon.
