The Gallery Corner is a location in the Game & Watch Gallery series that houses the Note Board, the Music Room, the Museum, the Gift section, Secrets (Game & Watch Gallery 3 only), and G&W History (Game & Watch Gallery 4 only). ContentsHistory[edit]Game & Watch Gallery 2[edit]The Gallery Corner first appears in Game & Watch Gallery 2, where the Gallery Corner has four sections: the Note Board (initially available), the Music Room (five stars required), the Museum (ten stars required), and the Gift section (permanently available after the player collects 100 stars). With 55 stars, the Music Room can be upgraded. Game & Watch Gallery 3[edit]The Gallery Corner reappears in Game & Watch Gallery 3, where the Gallery Corner holds the four sections used in Game & Watch Gallery 2 as well as Secrets 1 (15 stars required) and Secrets 2 (60 stars required). In Secrets 1, a sample of the reversed Fire is shown. In Secrets 2, the reversed Fire becomes playable. Game & Watch Gallery 4[edit]The Gallery Corner reappears in Game & Watch Gallery 4, where the Gallery Corner holds once again the four sections used in Game & Watch Gallery 2 as well as G&W History (70 stars required), a timeline about the original release date of every Game & Watch title released.

Music Room[edit]
Museum[edit]
Gift[edit]Game & Watch Gallery 2[edit]In this game, the Gift section controls when Ball (both versions and all four character variants) is unlocked. Going through here is required to unlock said game, and it instantly redirects to Ball after permanently unlocked. Game & Watch Gallery 3[edit]In this game, the Gift section is now hosted by Mario and Peach in the daytime (with a wall as a background). They show the player the secondary games that have been unlocked. Peach shows some things when presenting the secondary games, such as a Game Boy Color, a flag (when presenting Flagman), a hammer (when presenting Judge), a star (after the player collects 30 stars), a lion plush (when presenting Lion), a block (when presenting Spitball Sparky), and a Donkey Kong plush (when presenting Donkey Kong II). A pedestal also shows the secondary games' handhelds. Like in Game & Watch Gallery 2, going through here is required to unlock the secondary games. Here is a complete list of Peach's lines:
Game & Watch Gallery 4[edit]In this game, the Gift section is now called Present, taking place indoors (with some gift boxes, toys, and plants as a background), and it is hosted by Mario and Mr. Game & Watch. They show the player the secondary and tertiary games unlocked. Before the handheld is shown, a ? Block falls from above and then morphs into the corresponding secondary or tertiary game's handheld. Unlike in Game & Watch Gallery 2 and Game & Watch Gallery 3, going through here is no longer required to unlock the secondary and tertiary games. After unlocking every secondary/tertiary game, the player will be redirected here, and after every secondary/tertiary game is presented, the player will be redirected to the Game Select screen (for secondary games) or the Museum (for tertiary games). Here is a complete list of Mario's and Mr. Game & Watch's lines:
