Mario the Juggler is a Game & Watch game released as part of the New Wide Screen series on October 14, 1991.[1] It is a reworked version of 1980's Ball, with themes of the Super Mario franchise replacing the original's doll and its balls. It was the final Game & Watch ever released until Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.
The alarm indicator of this game is the Bell Turtle, a Koopa Troopa that is located beside the pipe. He swings a bell when the alarm goes off.
Gameplay
The object of the game is to keep juggling bombs, Stars, and hearts. In Game A, Mario has to juggle by himself next to a Mushroom retainer who will laugh if he makes a mistake. Game B introduces characters such as the Hammer Bro and Lakitu that periodically grab some of the items and then toss them back in. As time goes on, the number of objects being juggled increases from one to three (four in Game B with a second heart), and the items fall faster. As with most Game & Watch games, getting three misses causes a Game Over.

Trivia
- The "Modern" version of Ball found in Game & Watch Gallery 2 also features Super Mario characters in place of the doll; the second mode has Mario himself as the player's character, who juggles hearts and Stars here as well. However, this version is based on the original 1980 handheld, not Mario the Juggler.
- Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. also features a version of Ball with Mario in place of the doll, but that more closely resembles the original game than the Game & Watch Gallery 2 version.
- The game & watch history on Game & Watch Gallery 4 erroneously lists this game as a 1982 game
