Game & Watch Gallery 2: Difference between revisions

'''''Game & Watch Gallery 2''''', known as '''''Game Boy Gallery 3''''' in Australia and '''''Game Boy Gallery 2''''' (ゲームボーイギャラリー2 ''Gēmu Bōi Gyararī 2'') in Japan, is the sequel to ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', released in 1997 for the [[Game Boy]] and in 1998 for the [[Game Boy Color]]. The game includes six revisions of classic [[Game & Watch]] games, one of which is not playable from the beginning and must be unlocked. Like all the other ''Game & Watch Gallery'' games, the [[minigame]]s can be played in either Classic Mode or Modern Mode; the former is identical to the original release of the minigame, while the latter has been redone with characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music. ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' was rereleased as a Game Boy Color game in Europe and Australia, as well as North America, in 1998 but not in Japan. However, on September 9, 2020, an unreleased Japanese Game Boy Color version was leaked.

[[File:GnWG2 original box.jpg|thumb|The original box art]]

*On the game's original box art, a ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''-style [[Baby Yoshi|Little Yoshi]] is shown playing ''[[Vermin]]'', and [[Princess Peach]] is smiling while playing ''[[Chef]]''. [[Donkey Kong]] also looks like his ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' artwork. The final box art, however, depicts Yoshi in his ''[[Super Mario World]]'' appearance and Peach experiencing issues.

*[[Yoshi]] is shown as an [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] in the Game Boy Color version of ''Vermin'', presumably to make him visible within the handheld's display restrictions, even though the box and manual artworks and his sprite on the Game Select screen depict him with his proper green color. Additionally, the Yoshi in ''Ball'' is a Green Yoshi on the Super Game Boy and a Light Blue Yoshi on the Game Boy Color.

**Similarly, although the Yoshi seen in ''Parachute'' is a green adult Yoshi, the manual art for that game shows a yellow [[Baby Yoshi]] in Mario's boat instead.

*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, due to the game being made before these platforms' time.

*In the Game Boy Color version, the pause/Game Over menu's colors vary depending on the game/version. The border can also be changed by pressing {{button|gbc|B}}. Each possible color pair is:

| ''Parachute'' || {{color|Blue|blue}} and white || {{color|Blue|blue}} and white

| ''Helmet'' || Black and {{color|orange|orange}} (Area 1), grayish blue and white (Area 2), {{color|red|red}} and white (Area 3) || {{color|Orange|orange}} and black

| ''Chef'' || {{color|Orange|orange}} and white || Dark blue and white

| ''Vermin'' || {{color|Red|red}} and white || {{color|Green|green}} and black

| ''Donkey Kong'' || {{color|Orange|orange}} and {{color|gray|gray}} (Area 1), {{color|red|red}} and {{color|green|green}} (Area 2), {{color|green|green}} and dark blue (Area 3) || {{color|Green|green}} and black

| ''Ball'' || Dark blue and white (Yoshi variant), {{color|orange|orang}} and black (Mario variant), {{color|orange|orange}} and {{color|blue|blue}} (Wario variant), {{color|blue|blue}} and {{color|yellow|yellow}} (King Koopa variant) || {{color|Orange|orange}} and black

*This was the first handheld game featuring the ''Super Mario'' characters to have its North American manual printed in full color. The manuals for Nintendo-published games on the Game Boy were printed using a selective color palette with only shades of gray and red for all games released through 1995, and then pure black-and-white with a single selected color used for the background and certain other elements from 1996 until fall 1998.
