(Game & Watch)|Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Mario's Cement Factory]]''. One can be seen in the former and two in the latter. | |

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Mario Bros.'' (Game & Watch)===
| |
| In ''Mario Bros.'', [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are working at a bottling plant. After Luigi places six cases of bottles onto the truck, the driver starts the engine and sticks his head out to yell for the last two cases. When the truck is filled with eight cases, he drives off.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario's Cement Factory''===
| |
| ====Table Top version====
| |
| In ''Mario's Cement Factory'', Mario's task is to open the hopper lids in the cement to let the cement land inside the trucks. The drivers appear by sticking out their heads to the external sides of the screen. They are exposed to the risk of being injured by the cement. If Mario is not careful, the cement containers can overload and dump cement on a driver. The driver then falls out of the truck window, injured, causing Mario to get a miss. A driver from this version serves as an alarm function by ringing a bell with a drumstick.
| |
| | |
| ====New Wide Screen version====
| |
| In this rerelease of ''Mario's Cement Factory'', the drivers have exactly the same behavior from its first appearance. The only difference is that in this version, they stick out their heads to the internal sides of the screen.
| |
| | |
| ===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===
| |
| ====''Game Boy Gallery''====
| |
| [[File:Game Boy Gallery Cement Factory Main.png|thumb|Drivers as they appear in ''Game Boy Gallery'']]
| |
| The drivers reappear in ''Cement Factory'', which is included in this compilation game. They have similar traits from the Table Top version of ''Mario's Cement Factory''.
| |
| | |
| ====''Game & Watch Gallery 3''====
| |
| The driver reappears in the Classic version port of ''Mario Bros.'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''. Due to the compact single screen of the [[Game Boy Color]], the driver's sprite appears squished.
| |
| | |
| ====''Game & Watch Gallery 4''====
| |
| In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', the Classic version port of ''Mario Bros.'' is less constrained by the screen of the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This allows the driver's sprite more room, but it is still closer to the edge of the screen than in the original version.
| |
| | |
| The drivers reappear in the Classic version of ''Mario's Cement Factory''{{'}}s port. Here, they have exactly the same behavior from the New Wide Screen version.
