'''''Greenhouse''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] released on December 6, 1982 <ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/greenhouse.htm ''Greenhouse'' info page on In The Attic, a website dedicated to classic videogames] Retrieved 13 November 2010</ref>. The player controls a bug exterminator only referred to as the "Fumigator" in the manual, and the objective is to spray worms that try to eat the plants in a greenhouse. The worms crawl along vines and the player will have to try to hit them with a spray before they reach the plants (which would then die). The game is a two-level one with a ladder connecting the two parts (which otherwise offer almost identical action). The game is relatively easy to begin with, but soon gets harder.

In a 1983 Game & Watch commercial, the Fumigator is called "[[Stanley (Donkey Kong 3)|Stanley]]"<ref>Nintendo Game & Watch 1983 Commercial [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss3gZ6yV79c YouTube] ''The Museum of Classic Chicago Television''. Retrieved December 7, 2015.</ref>, which is the name of the playable character featured in the ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'' arcade game released that same year. ''Donkey Kong 3'' is also set in a greenhouse and has similar gameplay, however Nintendo has never officially connected the two titles, and Stanley does not resemble the Fumigator.

===Classic version===
[[File:Greenhouse Classic Version.png|thumb|left|The Classic version of ''Greenhouse'']]
The player controls Stanley, and the objective is to spray inchworms and spiders that try to eat the flowers in a greenhouse. The inchworms crawl along vines on the top screen, while the spiders crawl along [[Spider Web|web]]s on the bottom screen, and the player has to try to hit them with a [[sprayer|spray gun]] before they reach the flowers. A ladder connects the two parts of the game (which otherwise offer almost identical action). The player receives a [[point]] for killing an inchworm far from a flower, two points for an inchworm one step away from a flower, and three points for an inchworm closest to a flower. To kill the spiders, however, the player needs to spray them closest to a flower. Each time a spider farther away is sprayed, it backs away one step, giving the player a point. When the player kills a spider, they earn three points. As the game progresses, the inchworms and spiders move faster. If an inchworm or spider reaches a flower, the flower dies, earning the player a miss. If the player gets 300 points without any misses, all points are worth double until the player does get a miss. If the player has any misses at said score, all misses are canceled instead. When the player gets three misses, they receive a [[Game Over]].
 
===Modern version===
[[File:Game_&_Watch_Gallery_3_Greenhouse_Modern.png|frame|left|160px|The Modern version of ''Greenhouse'']]
In the Modern version of the [[minigame]], an [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] has to protect [[Smiley Flower|flower]]s by spraying [[Fly Guy]]s and [[Ukiki|Grinder]]s with [[watermelon]] seeds (like in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island]]''). The [[tulip]] that releases [[star (Yoshi's Island series)|Star]]s from ''Yoshi's Island'' releases the Fly Guys. In this version, a [[Warp Pipe]] connects the two parts of the game. The Yoshi earns a point for defeating a Fly Guy and three points for a Grinder. In addition to the points earned for defeating the enemies, the Yoshi also receives a point for eating every watermelon. Once the Yoshi grabs ten watermelons without getting a miss, he gains fire-spitting powers, allowing him to burn the [[rope]]s of the Grinders, scorching them even while they are shielded, and the Yoshi earns three points for defeating a Fly Guy. If a Fly Guy or Grinder reaches a flower, the enemy jumps on it and wilts it. At 200, 500, and 700 points, a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] appears for the Yoshi to remove a miss. Music is also featured in this version, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game.
 
However, in this version, the score and miss marks alternate positions depending on the section on which the Yoshi is standing.

Greenhouse (released as Green House) is a dual-screen Game & Watch game released as part of the Multi Screen series on December 6, 1982.[1] It is the first game to feature Stanley, with the game serving as the basis for the setting of Donkey Kong 3, which is why that title featured Stanley as the protagonist instead of Mario.[2][page number needed] Greenhouse is featured in the Museum in Game & Watch Gallery 2. It was later remade for Game & Watch Gallery 3 with a Classic version and an updated "Modern" version.

The player controls Stanley, and the objective is to spray inchworms and spiders that try to eat the flowers in a greenhouse. The inchworms crawl along vines on the top screen, while the spiders crawl along webs on the bottom screen, and the player has to try to hit them with a spray gun before they reach the flowers. A ladder connects the two parts of the game (which otherwise offer almost identical action). The player receives a point for killing an inchworm far from a flower, two points for an inchworm one step away from a flower, and three points for an inchworm closest to a flower. To kill the spiders, however, the player needs to spray them closest to a flower. Each time a spider farther away is sprayed, it backs away one step, giving the player a point. When the player kills a spider, they earn three points. As the game progresses, the inchworms and spiders move faster. If an inchworm or spider reaches a flower, the flower dies, earning the player a miss. If the player gets 300 points without any misses, all points are worth double until the player does get a miss. If the player has any misses at said score, all misses are canceled instead. When the player gets three misses, they receive a Game Over.

Modern version[edit]

The Modern version of Greenhouse

In the Modern version of the minigame, an Orange Yoshi has to protect flowers by spraying Fly Guys and Grinders with watermelon seeds (like in Yoshi's Island). The tulip that releases Stars from Yoshi's Island releases the Fly Guys. In this version, a Warp Pipe connects the two parts of the game. The Yoshi earns a point for defeating a Fly Guy and three points for a Grinder. In addition to the points earned for defeating the enemies, the Yoshi also receives a point for eating every watermelon. Once the Yoshi grabs ten watermelons without getting a miss, he gains fire-spitting powers, allowing him to burn the ropes of the Grinders, scorching them even while they are shielded, and the Yoshi earns three points for defeating a Fly Guy. If a Fly Guy or Grinder reaches a flower, the enemy jumps on it and wilts it. At 200, 500, and 700 points, a heart appears for the Yoshi to remove a miss. Music is also featured in this version, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game.

However, in this version, the score and miss marks alternate positions depending on the section on which the Yoshi is standing.
