Game & Watch Gallery 3

Game & Watch Gallery 3, known as Game Boy Gallery 4 in Australia and Game Boy Gallery 3 (ゲームボーイギャラリー3 Gēmu Bōi Gyararī 3) in Japan, is the third game in the Game & Watch remake series for the Game Boy line. It includes five minigames playable from the start and five more unlockables, five of which can be played in either Classic Mode with the original Game & Watch characters or an updated Modern Mode featuring characters of the Super Mario franchise along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music. Game & Watch Gallery 3 was rereleased on the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in Europe on September 25, 2014; in Australia on September 26, 2014; in North America on February 5, 2015; and as a promotional release in Japan on November 21, 2014, for those who register Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and one of Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire with Club Nintendo before January 20, 2015. It was also later rereleased for the Nintendo Switch's Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online service as one of its launch titles on February 8, 2023.

Stars
Like the previous games in the series, Game & Watch Gallery 3 features a system to unlock bonus features. As before, every 200 points the player reaches in a mode of a minigame is worth a star, up to five stars per minigame mode. The player unlocks features in the Gallery Corner as they collect stars. A very hard mode called Star Mode is unlocked for every game after the player earns at least 1,000 points in Modern Mode. The player can earn a total of 150 stars. If they do, a "Congratulations!!" message appears onscreen.

Games

 * Egg – A Light Blue Yoshi must eat cookies as they pop out of an oven (a concept similar to Yoshi's Cookie), but he has to avoid the Bob-ombs. In the Classic version, a wolf must catch eggs laid by hens.
 * Greenhouse – An Orange Yoshi must protect flowers from enemies by spitting watermelon seeds as he did in Yoshi's Island. In Classic Mode, the player has to protect flowers by using a spray gun.
 * Turtle Bridge – Toad delivers items from Mario to Princess Peach by using a bridge of Goonies, which sometimes dive at passing balloons. The name of the minigame is from the original game, which involved a bridge made of turtles.
 * Mario Bros. – This is far different from the original arcade game. In this game, Mario and Luigi must keep cakes (or packages of bottles in Classic Mode) moving on conveyor belts.
 * Donkey Kong Jr. – DK's son must traverse various stages to free his dad. Goombas, Bullet Bills, and Baby Piranha Plants appear as enemies.

Unlockables

 * Flagman – In Game A, the player must copy the pattern shown by the flagman. After the player copies the pattern correctly, another step is added for the next round. In Game B, the flagman shows only one number; however, the time to react to this number shortens over time.
 * Judge – A reaction game where the player with a number of equal or higher value attempts to hit the other, while the player with the lower number tries to run away.
 * Lion – A game where the player must control lion tamers on either side of a cage to keep the lions inside.
 * Spitball Sparky – A -like game where the player must break all the blocks to go up a level.
 * Donkey Kong II – In this rerelease of the game with the same name, Donkey Kong Jr. must hit four keys up the screen in order to free his father from chains.

Gallery Corner
As the player collects stars, they unlock new areas to check out. Below is a list of things that can be unlocked.

Note: Players can alternatively connect Game & Watch Gallery 3 with Game & Watch Gallery and Game & Watch Gallery 2 to unlock Game & Watch titles for the Museum with a link cable and two Game Boy Colors, but this was removed in the 3DS Virtual Console version. Instructions on how to link the games together are still listed in the 3DS version, but they cannot be selected.

- Hard Mode in Judge is replaced with a 2P VS mode, but due to Game Boy and Game Boy Color Virtual Console games on the Nintendo 3DS not having two-player functions, this mode cannot be selected in the 3DS version.

- All Museum titles in previous games reappear in this Museum.

This is the first Game & Watch game to have the Gift mode visitable at any point. Although the Gift Function was present in Game & Watch Gallery 2, it could be visited only when the player unlocked a new game/function.

Secret
As the player collects stars, they unlock a feature called Secret 1. This feature describes information regarding an inverted version of the Game & Watch title Fire (Silver series). When the player unlocks Secret 2, they can play the inverted Fire at any time but are not able to pause the game, and consequently, they cannot perform an autosave to continue later. Instead, pressing sends the player back to the Gallery Corner.

The high score is not recorded for this version of Fire, nor can stars be earned by playing it.

Pre-release and unused content
This content was found in the game data, but part of it is accessible only through cheat codes. The title screen includes crude cave painting-like placeholder graphics, including what appears to be Mario and Luigi having successfully hunted Pikachu.

Trivia

 * Depending on what Game Boy hardware the game is played on, it displays appropriate hardware for controls when the mode for each game is selected, except for the Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Player, which display a Game Boy Color regardless.
