- This article is about the second installment in the Game & Watch Gallery series. For the series itself, see Game & Watch Gallery (series).
Game & Watch Gallery, known as Game Boy Gallery 2 in Australia and Game Boy Gallery (ゲームボーイギャラリー Gēmu Bōi Gyararī) in Japan, is a collection of games originally released on Nintendo's Game & Watch. The game includes both original and Modern versions. The original features nameless individuals as the main characters, while the Modern version features Mario and his friends along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music. Three sequels followed Game & Watch Gallery: Game & Watch Gallery 2, Game & Watch Gallery 3, and Game & Watch Gallery 4.
Stars
Game & Watch Gallery features a system to unlock bonus features. To do this, the player needs to earn stars. Every 200 points the player scores in a minigame is worth a star. The player can earn up to five stars in each mode of a game. As the player collects stars, they will unlock features in the Gallery Corner. If the player earns five stars in a Modern game, they will unlock a very hard mode called Star Mode. The player can earn a total of 80 stars.

This content is found in the game's files, but part of it is accessible only through cheat codes.

Trivia
- Playing on the Super Game Boy displays a Super Nintendo Entertainment System controller instead of the bottom of a Game Boy Pocket when the mode for each game is being selected.
- The unused pause jingle for Modern games was recycled and modified for Game & Watch Gallery 4.
- This is the only Game & Watch Gallery game to have a different pause jingle for Classic games.
- Although the game is known as Game Boy Gallery 2 in Australia, the original Game Boy Gallery, released only in Australia and Europe, does not feature Mario characters.
