Fire (Game & Watch)

Fire is a Game & Watch game found in the Silver and Wide Screen Game & Watch series, released on July 31, 1980 and December 4, 1981, respectively. Remakes of it are found in Game & Watch Gallery, Game & Watch Gallery 3 and Game & Watch Gallery 4. This game has also been released as Fireman Fireman. It is also the basis of Mr. Game & Watch's up special move in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Classic Version
People jump out of a burning building and fall down to get rescued. The player, controlling two men carrying a stretcher, must bounce the people off of the stretcher to get them to the ambulance on the other side of the screen. If the two men catch a person the player earns a point; people who have been caught bounce and must be caught again. People fall at different speeds depending on where they are. As time passes, more people will jump from the burning building. If the two men miss one of the falling people, the person gets injured and the player will receive a miss. If the player reaches a certain number of points in the game, one or two misses are removed and the people will freeze to make it easy to get them before they continue falling. In Hard Mode there are two ways to escape from the burning building so it makes the game harder.

Modern Version
Mario and Luigi attempt to catch Toads, Yoshis, and Donkey Kong Jrs. The catch is that different characters fall at different speeds. Yoshi Eggs also appear and contain either a Bob-omb or a Moon (Super Stars in the first game); the eggs will break open if they are caught or hit the ground. If a Bob-omb reaches the vehicle, everyone, including the Mario Bros., runs away as the vehicle explodes, and the player gets a miss. If the Mario Bros. catch a Moon, the player receives five points. In the Game & Watch Gallery 4 version, the time of day changes every 200 points collected.

If the player selects this game in Game & Watch Gallery 4 yet doesn't start playing it, a humorous sequence plays where Mario and Luigi catch a Toad sent flying to the left and a Yoshi sent flying to the right, only to narrowly stop when discovering their next "rescue" was in fact a Bob-omb, which detonates inches from them, and are then forced to flee as dozens of Bob-ombs are raining from the sky.

Trivia

 * The port shown in Game & Watch Gallery 3 is reversed, which, according to the game, is due to an apparent mistake on the original Game & Watch systems. However, none of these reversed copies have yet been found by collectors.
