'''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]]''.

[[File:Mr Game and Watch team SSBM All-Star.png|thumb|left|Mario fighting the Mr. Game & Watch team in All-Star mode]]
Mr. Game & Watch makes his character debut in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as the final unlockable character. He can be unlocked by playing 1000 Melee matches, beating [[Classic Mode|Classic]] or [[Adventure]] mode with every other character, or by clearing [[Break the Targets!|Target Test]] with every other character. Afterward, the player must defeat Mr. Game & Watch on [[Flat Zone]] to unlock him. In All-Star mode, the Mr. Game and Watch team is always the final enemy stage. Here, the player must beat twenty-five Mr. Game & Watches.
Mr. Game & Watch is unique in that his movements are individual frames like with a Game & Watch game. All of his "voice" clips (including screams, taunts, and other such noises) are also sounds heard during various Game & Watch titles. Mr. Game & Watch is portrayed as one of the lightest characters in the game thanks to his flat appearance, heavier than only [[Pichu]] and tied with [[Jigglypuff]], which makes him easier to KO, and his attacks, while powerful, are slow. However, his movement attributes including dash, walk, fall, fast-fall speeds, traction, and gravity are identical to Mario's.
All of Mr. Game & Watch's moves also reference the various [[Game & Watch]] units. His standard special is [[

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
Mr. Game & Watch returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as an unlockable character. He can be unlocked by playing 250 Brawl matches, clearing Target Smash!! with 30 characters on any difficulty, or having him join the party in The Subspace Emissary; with either of the former methods, he must be defeated on [[Flat Zone 2]] to be unlocked. While he has been made heavier, he is still the second lightest character in the game (now only heavier than [[Jigglypuff]] and tied with [[Squirtle]]).
In terms of his moveset, his neutral aerial has been replaced with the fishbowl from ''Tropical Fish'', as the parachute is now a part of his up special move. His [[Final Smash]] is [[#Octopus|Octopus]], which transforms Mr. Game & Watch into the [[Octopus (character)|giant octopus]] from the Game & Watch unit ''[[Octopus (Game & Watch)|Octopus]]''.
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
[[File:SubspaceIntro-GameWatch.png|thumb|
The Shadow Bugs' trophy information explains that Mr. Game & Watch's body can endlessly produce them. [[Tabuu]] took note of the unique qualities of Mr. Game & Watch's body and uses him to create Shadow Bugs, which in turn are used to build up the [[Subspace Army]]. Mr. Game & Watch allows this to happen as he does not understand the concepts of good or evil.<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea17.html Mysteries of the Subspace Emissary - Smash Bros.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
Mr. Game & Watch reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' as an unlockable character. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', he can be unlocked by playing 90 Smash matches or by clearing Classic mode 10 times, and must be defeated on Flat Zone 2. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', he can be unlocked by either playing 80 Smash matches or by clearing Classic mode on Intensity 2.0 or higher with five characters, and must then be defeated on [[Flat Zone X]].
Line 71 ⟶ 60:
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
Mr. Game & Watch makes a reappearance as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In this installment, every time he uses a move, his appearance changes to reflect the graphics from the respective game from which the move originates. Additionally, when Mr. Game & Watch throws an opponent, they turn into their stock icon in his juggling animation from ''Ball''. His Final Smash has also been altered somewhat; after Mr. Game & Watch turns into Octopus, he grabs opponents and takes them off of the screen, rather than attacking them with arms.
Prior to the game's release, controversy arose surrounding a move animation used by Mr. Game & Watch, which featured a stereotypical depiction of a Native American that was based off the 1982 ''Game & Watch'' title, ''[[Fire Attack]]''.<ref>[https://mynintendonews.com/2018/11/06/super-smash-bros-ultimate-is-being-criticized-for-racist-mr-game-watch/ Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is Being Criticized For “Racist Mr. Game & Watch”]. ''My Nintendo News'' (November 6, 2018). Retrieved November 7, 2018.</ref> Nintendo has released a software update post-launch that replaces the animation with one that is similar to that of ''Game & Watch Gallery 4''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Smash Ultimate Mr. Game & Watach.png|thumb|80px|The misspelled name on the website.]]
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''{{'}}s Classic Mode, Mr. Game & Watch can only appear as an enemy in the multi-character fight for stage 8, though he can appear as an ally in Team and Giant battles.
*Although he generally has a 2D appearance, Mr. Game & Watch's model is actually a 3D model flattened to give the impression that he is a 2D character.
*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.
*When turned into metal by a [[
**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]]''.
*On his [https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/26.html fighter page] on the mobile version of the official English ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' website, Mr. Game & Watch's name was originally misspelled "Mr. Game & Watach". This mistake has since been corrected.
