Game & Watch: Mario's Cement Factory is a port of the Game & Watch game of the same name for the Nintendo DSi. It was available to download for 200 DSi points.[2] It was one of two ports of a Super Mario Game & Watch title for the system, the other being Game & Watch: Donkey Kong Jr. Alongside select other DSiWare titles, the game was ported to the Nintendo 3DS in 2011.[3] In July–August 2012, to coincide with the release of New Super Mario Bros. 2, it was featured on the Mario folder in the main screen.

Details[edit]

Game & Watch: Mario's Cement Factory
Gameplay

Like the other Game & Watch ports for the Nintendo DSi, the game appears to play identically to the game which it is a port of. As Game & Watch: Mario's Cement Factory simulates a Game & Watch system, the option to select Game A or Game B, to set the game's time and to reset the game have all been recreated digitally.[6] This screen also features a new "Help" button. As the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS feature two screens, the bottom screen simply depicts the Game & Watch logo, the logo for the game, and the copyright date. All of the game's graphics have been recreated as sprites, as the original game's graphics were printed onto the screen.

DSi Shop description[edit]

American[edit]

Nintendo first began releasing the Game & Watch series in 1980. This collection of games was available on portable LCD devices, and each title featured a game and a clock. Each Game & Watch title features two modes of play: GAME A (normal difficulty) and GAME B (more advanced play). While some controls have been changed in the DSiWare version to better suit the Nintendo DSi system, the appearance of the game itself has not been altered.

Conveyor belts carry tubs of cement to the mixers below. Use the elevators to move Mario to different levels of the factory, dumping cement from the top mixers to the mixers below and into the trucks. Earn points for every load of cement you drop from the mixers to the cement truck. Receive mistake icons by letting a mixer overflow with cement, trying to get on an elevator when you are not level with it, or hitting the floor or ceiling while riding an elevator; receive three mistake icons, and it's game over!

European[edit]

Experience a piece of Nintendo history with the Game & Watch series for Nintendo DSiWare. Each title is a perfect recreation of a classic LCD game from the early 1980s, including normal Game A and alternate Game B modes. And no Game & Watch title would be complete without the 'Watch' function - each title includes a fully functional clock. In Mario’s Cement Factory, your job is to keep the factory going. Move Mario around the platforms and elevators, pull the levers to drop cement into containers, and fill up the trucks waiting to make their deliveries. Just like other Game & Watch titles, Game B mode is the tougher challenge; with faster, randomly moving platforms.
