Ball

Ball is an unlockable game from Game & Watch Gallery 2. The player starts out with the classic version, but in order to unlock the modern version, they would first have to obtain five stars on both easy and hard mode in the classic version.

Classic Version
As Mr. Game & Watch, juggle, juggle, and juggle some more. In easy mode, there are two balls. In hard mode, there are three. Mr. Game & Watch must move his hands to where the balls are falling. Unlike most classic games that give the player three mistakes, if the player messes up once and smashes one of the balls, the game will end.

Modern Version
Only unlocked after the classic version is conquered. The player can play as Mario, Wario, or Yoshi. The first version has Yoshi juggling Yoshi Eggs. The Mario version has the player juggling a Star, a Super Mushroom and a Heart. These items had varying arcs of flight as opposed to the fixed patterns of the eggs. Wario's version gives the player a Heart, Spiked Ball and Wanderin' Goom to juggle. The objects had varying arcs of flight and the Goom would occasionally fly off screen.

The three versions of Modern Mode Ball all had Bob-ombs fly down from the sky. If a bomb hit one of the paddles, it would cause a Game Over. Every one hundred points, Coins will rain down from the sky. Touching the coins with the paddles rewards the player with bonus points.

Trivia

 * This Game & Watch was later re-worked into the Mario-themed Mario the Juggler, interestingly the last ever Game & Watch. (Ball was the very first.)
 * This game can be played in Game Boy Camera with the player's face in the stead of Mr. Game & Watch's
