The '''Mini Classics''' are a series of LCD handheld games initially released in 1998, featuring licensed ports of [[Game & Watch]] titles. They were created by German company Stadlbauer, and were distributed and published by numerous other manufacturers. They are smaller than the originals and have keychains, increasing their portability. Additionally, the Mini Classics can also serve as a clock. The games are mostly identical to their original (Game & Watch) versions, although there are some subtle differences in sound effects. Their appearance is that of a small [[Game Boy Pocket]], only missing the {{button|gb|start}}, {{button|gb|select}} and {{button|gb|B}} buttons and the cartridge slot. They also have a stand, but it is missing in the dual-screen Mini Classics such as ''[[Donkey Kong (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong]]''. | The '''Mini Classics''' are a series of LCD handheld games initially released in 1998, featuring licensed ports of [[Game & Watch]] titles.

It appears that there was a planned Mini Classics version of ''[[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong 3]]'' which was canceled. It can only be seen in an old stock image, in which the game is mislabeled as ''Donkey Kong Junior''.<ref>https://www.forevergeek.com/get_nintendo_classic_games_on_your_keyring/</ref> | It appears that there was a planned Mini Classics version of ''[[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong 3]]'' which was canceled.

An extremely rare limited edition gold version of ''Super Mario Bros.'' existed, of which only 99 units were ever produced. This version was only available as a gift to "Special Friends and Partners" of Stadlbauer. Each of them includes a signed letter from Dr. Dieter Stadlbauer, head of the Stadlbauer company.<ref>https://consolevariations.com/collectibles/nintendo-game-watch-mini-classic-gold-super-mario-bros</ref> | |||
