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. He was created by Gunpei Yokoi, who also created Princess Daisy.

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 (25 if you include Shiek). 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.

He can be a very difficult character to use, but can be treated as the strongest character in the game, if used right. Most of his attacks are tricky, and neither your opponent, or the player will know what he will do. His strongest attack, Oil Panic, is a very hard move to master, as you need to wait for your foe to use an energy projectile attack (like Fox's Blaster or Ness's PK fire). Mr. Game & Watch is also rather small and light, and can be thrown off easier than other players. Overall he is a difficult character to use, but a force to be reckoned with when used correctly, so beware.

It is very likely he was made the strongest character, and the final unlockable, as a tribute to Gunpei Yokoi. He died 5 Years before Super Smash Bros. Melee was made, and Mr. Game & Watch's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee was used as a tribute. Other tributes are Daisy being re-introduced into the Marioverse, and the Game & Watch being in almost every recent Warioware game.

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.
