It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.

Egg is a Game & Watch game that appears in Game & Watch Gallery 3. In Game & Watch Gallery, it has modern and classic gameplay. If the player makes three misses in the game, the game is over. Nintendo acquired a Disney license and simultaneously released a version of this game as the first Mickey Mouse Game & Watch game. This special variation was never reissued in favor of the original Egg.

Classic Version

The original Game & Watch version of Egg.

In the original version, a fox must catch chicken eggs sliding down a conveyor belt. Each egg gives the player one point, and if the player can get 500 points without making a mistake, two points per egg are earned. To play, the Player has to use the +Control Pad to move.

If an egg breaks while a chicken is out the window, a baby chicken will pop out of the broken egg, and the player will get half a miss. It's only Game Over if the player gets three misses though, so the player will still be playing if they have 2.5 misses.

Modern Version

In the modern version, a Light Blue Yoshi needs to catch cookies in its tongue that have just come out of the oven. Sometimes, a Bob-omb slide down the conveyor belt. The Yoshi must avoid eating this foe, or it faces getting a miss. If Mario pops out of any of the doors, the Yoshi will get half a miss if it misses a cookie. However, eating a Bob-omb while Mario is present would still count as a whole miss. This has the same controls as the Classical Version.

As the Yoshi eats cookies, a Yoshi Cookie will appear. If it eats that cookie at the right time, it'll create a Yoshi Egg. It can make up to two Yoshi Eggs, and if it continues to catch cookies without missing, one egg will eventually release a Baby Yoshi. The Baby Yoshi will temporarily eat cookies at a certain angle. Getting a miss while an egg is present will cause the egg to disappear. Template:BoxTop
