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 Mr. Game & Watch as the main character; 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 Mr. Game & Watch to run around blocking the holes with a manhole cover in order to prevent the others from falling through.
  • Fire - An apartment is on fire, forcing Mr. Game & Watch to jump out the window. Two firemen must then bounce him acoss the screen to safetly with a tarp.
  • Octopus - While Mr. Game & Watch is diving for treasure he must avoid the Octopus' tentacles.
  • Oil Panic - Mr. Game & Watch must collect oil dripping from the ceiling in a bucket and dump it out a window to a partner before the bucket overflows.

Mini-games (Modern Version)

  • Manhole - Mario, Toad and Donkey Kong Jr. are the pedestrians in this version, walking at different speeds. Yoshi is the protagonist as well, and four manholes exist 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. Mr. Game & Watch is 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 Starman 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 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.
