Template:Infobox The Game & Watch Gallery is a collection of games originally released on Nintendo's Game & Watch. The game includes both original and modern versions. The original features nameless individuals as the main characters, while the modern version features Mario and his friends. Three sequels followed Game & Watch Gallery: Game & Watch Gallery 2, Game & Watch Gallery 3, and Game & Watch Gallery 4.

Mini-games (Classic Version)

  • Manhole - Pedestrians are walking back and forth over a hole-filled floor, forcing the player to block the holes with a manhole cover in order to prevent the others from falling through.
  • Fire - An apartment is on fire, forcing the people inside to jump out of the window. The player controls two firemen that use their trampoline to bounce them across the screen to safety into the ambulance.
  • Octopus - While a sea diver is diving for treasure he must avoid the Octopus' tentacles.
  • Oil Panic - The Station Helper must collect oil dripping from the ceiling in a bucket and dump it out a window to the Station Manager before the bucket overflows.

Mini-games (Modern Version)

  • Manhole - Toad, Donkey Kong Jr. and Mario are the pedestrians in this version, walking at different speeds, while Yoshi is the character the player controls. In this version, four manholes can stay up at once, unlike the original. The manholes can drop from characters stepping on them, causing the next pedestrian to fall if Yoshi does not act quickly. Yoshi can also hold a manhole in place to keep it from falling.
  • Fire - The setting is now Princess Peach's Castle. The pedestrians replaced by Toad, Yoshi and Donkey Kong Jr., who all fall according to their weight. Mario and Luigi serve the same role as the firemen in the original. New to this version is an egg that contains either a Super Star which contributes bonus points or a Bob-omb that counts as a Miss when carried to safety.
  • Octopus - Mario is now diving for treasure to give to Princess Peach. His speed is affected by how much treasure he is carrying, but he can throw his bag of treasures at the Octopus' tentacles. Bonus points are rewarded depending on how much treasure he gives to Peach.
  • Oil Panic - This time, the oil is dropped by Bowser, and Mario has two buckets to catch oil with. Yoshi serves to dispense oil, and can even be used to take out Bowser from the top of the castle, gaining bonus points in the process.
