'''''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 a compilation game that was released for the [[Game Boy]] in 1997. Even though it is the sequel to ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', it is actually the third game in the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]]. The game includes six revisions of [[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. | '''''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 a compilation game that was released for the [[Game Boy]] in 1997.
