'''Mr. Game & Watch''' is a 2D character meant to serve as the mascot of the ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'' games and the [[Game & Watch]] handheld systems. Mr. Game & Watch is not technically a specific character from any of the Game & Watch titles, instead being created as a playable character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' to represent the Game & Watch line. His appearance seems to be based on the generic people in ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'' and ''[[Parachute (Game & Watch)|Parachute]]''.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Mr. Game & Watch only tosses sausages while using this move. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward, he can toss shrimp, fish, and steak in addition to sausages, though the additional foods are aesthetic only.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Judge}}

'''Judge''' (known as '''Judgment''' in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'') is Mr. Game & Watch's side special move, based on ''[[nwiki:Judge|Judge]]'' released in 1980. When used, Mr. Game & Watch attacks with his hammer and holds up a digital display with random number (ranging from 1 to 9) on it. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the display visibly cycles through the numbers before deciding on one. Each number has a different effect on the victim(s) and possibly Mr. Game & Watch himself. The effects associated with numbers are as follows:

Custom variants of Judge appear in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'':

'''Chain Judge''' removes all the extra effects that are used with the default Judge. The attack instead deals hits equal to the number that's picked, with higher numbers offering stronger knockback with their final hits.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the first custom variant for this move is '''Heavy Trampoline''', which deals increased damage on the way up but does not give Mr. Game & Watch as high of a jump and only hits during the start of the jump. The second variant, '''Trampoline Launch''', sends Mr. Game & Watch an increased distance into the air but does not give him a parachute; the move also launches anyone else nearby.

Oil Panic's first custom variant in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' is '''Efficient Panic''', where the bucket only requires one projectile, but the splash deals less damage. The second variant is '''Panic Overload''', with the bucket having a smaller absorption range, but the splash is larger.

*Mr. Game & Watch is the only character in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' whose All-Star trophy is not affected by the background lighting, which is shown with most trophies.

**Moreover, Mr. Game & Watch is the only character in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' whose All-Star trophy does not display him in an alternate coloration.

**In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', however, Mr. Game & Watch will make clanking noises while moving in metal form.

**While Mr. Game & Watch keeps his silver outline in his metal form in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', his outline becomes black in his metal form in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
