Mr. Game & Watch

Mr. Game & Watch is a 2-D character and the star of the Game & Watch gallery games and the Game & Watch handheld systems. Mr. Game & Watch debuted in 1980, making him one of the first creations of Nintendo. In the Game & Watch Gallery games, Mr. Game & Watch appears along with many of the Mario cast. The difference is that Mr. Game & Watch is only playable in the classic versions of the games, while the Mario characters are playable in the modern versions.

In Wario Land 4, Princess Shokora runs the item shop in disguise as a stick figure that resembles Mr. Game & Watch. Mr. Game & Watch also appears in WarioWare: Touched! and WarioWare: Smooth Moves, in the classic Game & Watch games.

Super Smash Bros. Series
Mr. Game & Watch also appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee with the rest of the Mario cast. Here, he was the final unlockable, as the player would have to get all the other 24 characters. After beating Classic or Adventure with every other character, you'll be challenged by Mr. Game & Watch, in Flat Zone. Beat him, and he's yours to use. In All-Star mode, the team Mr. Game and Watch are always the final enemies to beat. Here the player must beat to 25 Mr. Game & Watch. They are easy to be KOeds, just like any other team battle in Classic Mode.

Mr. Game & Watch returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as an unlockable character. His Final Smash appears to make him transform into a giant squid that squirts oil. It appears anyone who gets hit by the oil will take damage.

His movement in the game was unusual as he moved in G&W Quartams. All of his "voice" clips (including screams, taunts, and other such noises) are actually the sounds heard when playing the various Game & Watch titles.

Role in Subspace Emissary
In the Subspace Emissary from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mr. Game & Watch people is apparently in direct command of the Battleship Halberd. In addition, according to his trophy information, his body produces Shadow Bugs - they can be endlessly extracted from him. Taboo takes advantage of this and uses the limitless supply of Shadow Bugs to create the Subspace Army.

Classic
''First appearing in 1980, the Game & Watch series is the father of all portable liquid crystal games. The main character is simple and monochrome but has a timeless individuality. There are 39 different games in the series and they've sold over 43 million units worldwide. Pictured at left is the particularly popular Fire model.''

Adventure
''A resident of a totally flat world, Mr. Game & Watch's frame-by-frame movement is distinctive. His image is known far and wide and respected by gamers everywhere. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, he hurls sausages with his Chef technique. The random strength of his Judgment is determined by the number displayed; food appears on lucky 7.''

All-Star
''A man of great stature in the world of Nintendo characters, Mr. Game & Watch is a comparatively light fellow and doesn't feature many powerful attacks. When he's in danger of falling, Fire calls out a rescue brigade to send him skyward once more. He can also catch missile weapons with Oil Panic; once he's caught three, he can dump the bucket on his foes.''

Mr. Game & Watch
''The monochrome hero of the Game & Watch series, a fellow who oozes personality. First appearing in 1980, the series were the original portable game systems. The first games in the series were quite simple, but as time passed, technology evolved. The multiscreen series featured game play on dual screens. As the name states, the games also kept time.''

Mr. Game & Watch (Final Smash)
''Mr. Game & Watch's Final Smash. He turns into the huge cephalopod that made its debut in the Game & Watch game Octopus. Of course, you can damage enemies by running into them, but you can do more damage by pressing the attack button to extend four arms and launch foes. In the original Octopus game, you had to avoid the octopus while salvaging treasure from the sea.''
