Mario & Wario

Mario & Wario is a Japan-only puzzle game for the Super Famicom

The player can pick a character with a set speed for each of them. Peach is slow, Mario is medium, and Yoshi is fast. At the beginning of each level, Wario drops a bucket, barrel, jellyfish, or similar item on a character's head, rendering the character unable to see. The player uses the SNES mouse to control Wanda the fairy and alter the environment to make it safe for the character, making it somewhat similar to Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 as Wanda attempts to guide Peach, Mario, or Yoshi to Luigi to get the goal. This was one of the few games that made use of the SNES mouse. At each end of the world level (or ten levels in the world level), there's a bonus level where Wanda can whack Wario with a hammer to earn coins while flying in his plane.

Trivia

 * There was a mention of this game in Pokémon Red & Blue Version. When the player checks the Super Nintendo in the Copycat's House (at Saffron City, northwest to the Silph Co. building), it states that there is a game that shows Mario with a bucket on his head. Both games were made by Game Freak. This reference was carried over to the Game Boy Advance remakes of these same games, Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen. It was also mentioned in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and "Pokémon Emerald" in the player's room.
 * A reference to Mario & Wario is made in Mario and the Incredible Rescue, where Wario attacks with buckets.
 * The Bucket Mario wore on his head is a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, it mentions that "the bucket's M looks like a W when turned right side up".
 * Although a Japan-Only release, the game itself contains no written Japanese in it whatsoever; it is entirely in English.
