'''''Helmet''''' is one of the various games from thea [[Game & Watch]] game released as part of the Gold series on February 21, 1981. It was released as '''''Headache''''' in Europe, due to vulgar connotations of the word "Helmet" in the region. In this game, the player has to run across from the exit of one building and into the entrance of another while avoiding the various hardware tools that fall from the sky. GettingThe hitgame onis featured in the head[[Museum|Gallery byCorner]] thein rain''[[Game of& toolsWatch willGallery]]''. issueIt thewas playerlater aremade miss.for The''[[Game player& scoresWatch byGallery crossing2]]'', thein screenwhich andit waitingcould forbe fiveplayed toolsin toeither Classic Mode or Modern dropMode. The microgame [[GAME & WARIO (microgame)|GAME & WARIO]] in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' is based on ''Helmet''.
 
The alarm indicator of this game is a man that is located beside the miss counter, and the man swings a bell when the alarm goes off.

InConstruction Classic Mode, a construction worker willworkers attempt to get from onethe building on the houseleft to anotherthe shed on the right while avoiding falling tools. However, the manworkers can only enter the houseshed at the rightonly when its door is open. A worker cannot return to the building on the left after he exits it. The player receives a [[point]] for every three tools that hit the ground without hitting a worker. When a worker safely enters the shed, the player earns five points. As the game progresses, the tools will start to fall at a faster speed, making it harder for the manworkers to escape harm. Getting hit by a tool will result in a miss. At 200 orand 500 points, any misses the player has will be removed. When the player gets three misses, they receive a [[Game Over]]. In Game B, the tools fall faster and the door to the shed stays closed longer.

}}
This game was remade for ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''. In Modern Mode, the game has the player control [[Mario]] (or [[Wario]] if replayed immediately after a game that ends with a score that is less than 100 points). There will also be a [[P-Switch]] that will make [[coin]]s appear. The coins can be collected for extra points and an increased entrance bonus, but collecting too many coins will make the player's character move more slowly. In addition, a [[Super Star]] will occasionally appear at or above the entrance, rewarding the player with at least 20 points if they get it.
 
The Modern mode of ''Helmet'' also features three different areas ([[Toad]] invites the player to a different area after 500 and 1,000 points). The first area is a forest that features a [[Koopa Paratroopa]] tossing [[hammer]]s, [[Spiked Ball]]s, and [[Lava Bubble]]s at the player. The next area is a meadow that features a [[Fly Guy]] dropping Spiked Balls. [[Cannon]]s will constantly appear to make any Spiked Balls that fall into them drop faster or get fired off in 45-degree angles. The last area is a castle of sorts with three Lava Bubbles bouncing up and down and two [[Thwomps]]. The Thowmps will eventually fly up towards the ceiling (which has [[spike]]s hanging from it) if the player is standing on either one for a few seconds. If the player never moves when this happens, that player will get squished into the ceiling and penalized with a miss. At 200 and 500 points, the Koopa Paratroopa will toss a [[1 UP Heart|Heart]], which removes a miss; at 700 points, the Fly Guy will drop a Heart.
 
===Modern version===
Unlike Classic Mode, music is featured, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game. When the player goes to a different stage, the music changes.
ThisIn game was remade for ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''. Inthe Modern Modeversion, the game has the player control [[Mario]] (or [[Wario]] if replayed immediately after a game that ends with a score that is lessfewer than 100 points).

The coins can be collected for extra points and an increased entrance bonus, but collecting too many coins will make the player's character move more slowly. In addition, if the player collects 50 coins without getting a miss, a [[Super Star]] will occasionally appear at or above the entrance, rewarding the player with at least 20 points if they get it.
