'''''Fire''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] game released as a part of the Silver series on July 31, 1980, and as a part of the Wide Screen series on December 4, 1981. Remakes of it are found in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'', and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''. This game has also been released as '''''Fireman Fireman'''''. It is also the basis of [[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s [[Mr. Game & Watch#Fire|up special move]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], as well as one of the interchanging layouts in the stages [[Flat Zone 2]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and [[Flat Zone X]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
 
[[File:Fire FR-27 Bell2.gif|thumb|left|The Alarm Fireman]]
The alarm indicator for ''Fire'' is a fireman who is located above the ambulance and below the miss counter, and he swings his bell when the alarm goes off. He was originally planned to appear in ''Game & Watch Gallery'', but he was scrapped from the game for unknown reasons. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, he appears in the ''Fire'' layout of the Flat Zone stages, swinging his bell when it is about to change into a different one.

People jump out of a burning building and fall down to get rescued. The player, controlling two men carrying a life net, must bounce the people off the life net to get them to the ambulance on the other side of the screen. If the two men catch a person, the player earns a [[point]]; people who have been caught bounce and must be caught again. People fall at different speeds depending on where they are. As time passes, more people will jump from the burning building, and they will eventually fall faster. If the two men miss one of the falling people, the person gets injured and runs away, and the player receives a miss. If the player reaches 200 and 500 points, any misses they have will be removed, and the people will freeze to make it easy to get them before they continue falling. The player receives a [[Game Over]] when they have three misses. In Game B, therepeople arejump twoout waysfrom totwo escapefloors fromof the burning building, so it makesmaking the game harder.

[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] attempt to catch [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, and [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Jrs.]] after they jump out the window of [[Princess Peach]]'s burning [[Peach's Castle|castle]]. The catch is that different characters fall at different speeds: Toads bounce the highest, while Donkey Kong Jrs. bounce the lowest. [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s also appear and contain either a [[Bob-omb]] or a [[3-Up Moon|Moon]] (a [[Super Star]] in the first game); the eggs will break open if they are caught or hit the ground. The player receives two points for catching an egg. If a Bob-omb reaches the carriage, everyone, including the Mario Bros., runs away as the carriage explodes, and the player gets a miss. If the Mario Bros. catch a Moon, the player receives five points. At 200, 500, and 700 points, Peach will appear and blow a kiss, sending out a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] for Mario or Luigi to catch to remove a miss. Music is also featured in this version, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game. In the ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' version, the time of day changes every 200 points collected.
 
If the player selects this game in ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' yet does not start playing it, a humorous sequence plays. In particular, Mario and Luigi catch a Toad sent flying to the left and a Yoshi sent flying to the right, only to narrowly stop when discovering their next "rescue" was in fact a Bob-omb, which detonates inches from them, and are then forced to flee as a dozen Bob-ombs are raining from the sky.

==Trivia==
[[File:G&WG3 Fire.png|thumb|right|''Fire'' as it appears in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'']]
*In the original Silver and Wide Screen versions, angels were used as miss marks. In the ''Game & Watch Gallery'' series, bandages replaced the angels. An animation was also added to show the evacuee walkinglimping away.
*The port shown in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' is reversed. According to the game, ''Fire'' was originally supposed to ship as such, but a mistake was made during LCD production and the graphics were reversed.
*The ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' port of ''Fire'' uses the design of the original Silver series ''Fire'' with the points system of the Wide Screen series ''Fire''. In the original Silver version of ''Fire'', points were given only when an evacuee would reach the ambulance.
*In ''Game & Watch Gallery 4''{{'}}s Modern version of ''Fire'', a [[Koopa Paratroopa|Para Troopa]] and [[albatross]] occasionally appear in the background.
*The ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' Modern version of ''Fire'' was apparently meant to be one of the games included in the canceled Game & Watch series of [[e-Reader]] cards.
