{{quote|You get one star for every 200 points.|Mr. Game & Watch|Game & Watch Gallery 4}}
'''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:Princessgameandwatch.png|frame|left|The [[Item Shopkeeper]] sprites in ''Wario Land 4''.]]
In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', a character that is very similar to Mr. Game & Watch appears as the [[Item Shopkeeper]]. She is an alternate form of the [[Black Cat]]'s (which is additionally [[Princess Shokora]] in her feline form) and serves as the shopkeeper of the [[Item Shop (Wario Land 4)|Item Shop]]. She also appears as pictures on the walls of the level [[Hall of Hieroglyphs]]. A notable difference between Mr. Game & Watch and the Item Shopkeeper is that the shopkeeper has eyes.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)}}
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 [[smashwiki:Classic Mode|Classic]] or [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode|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 [[#Chef (move)|Chef]], which tosses food from a frying pan. His down special is [[#Oil Panic (move)|Oil Panic]], which absorbs projectiles in a bucket that can be dumped onto opponents to deal a combined damage total. His up special is [[#Fire (move)|Fire]], which springs him into the air with a trampoline. His side special is [[# Judge (move)|Judge]], which has Mr. Game & Watch swing a hammer, its effects based on the number he holds up. His standard attack is based on ''[[Greenhouse|Green House]]'', and his dash attack has him wearing the helmet from ''[[Helmet (Game & Watch)|Helmet]]''. For his strong attacks, Mr. Game & Watch's forward strong attack is the chair from ''[[Lion]]'', his down strong move has him flip a manhole cover from ''[[Manhole (Game & Watch)|Manhole]]'', and his up strong attack is the flag from ''[[Flagman]]''. His neutral aerial is the parachute from ''[[Parachute (Game & Watch)|Parachute]]'', his forward aerial is a package from ''[[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|Mario Bros.]]'', his back aerial is a turtle from ''[[Turtle Bridge]]'', his up aerial is based on ''[[Game & Watch#Games with a Mario-themed "Modern" version|Spitball Sparky]]'', and his down aerial is a key from ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]''. His side smash is the torch from ''[[Fire Attack]]'', his up smash has him wearing the helmet from ''[[Octopus (Game & Watch)|Octopus]]'', and his down smash is the hammers from ''[[Vermin]]''. All four of his throwing animations have him juggling the character like in ''[[Ball]]''. His taunt has him ring a bell, based on the alarm feature of Game & Watch units.

====''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]]).

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|upright=1.1left|Mr. Game & Watch in the Subspace Emissary]]
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.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Mr. Game & Watch (SSB4)}}
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]].

====''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''.

====Special moves====
=====Chef=====
[[File:SSBU Chef.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Chef in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Chef}}
'''Chef''' is Mr. Game & Watch's standard special move, based upon the [[Game & Watch]] unit ''[[Chef]]'' released in 1981. Mr. Game & Watch tosses food with a frying pan that deals damage if it hits. Up to five pieces of food can be tossed, while pressing the button repeatedly causes food to be tossed out faster. Opponents can also be hit by the frying pan, which deals fire damage.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', players can unlock two custom variants for this move, like with all other special moves. The first custom variant for Chef is '''XXL Chef''', which tosses out larger food at a slower pace that deals more damage but doesn't travel as far. The second is '''Short-Order Chef''' ('''Fast-Food Chef''' in the British English version), which only tosses out smaller pieces of food at a faster pace and a lower angle, giving the move more range but dealing less damage.
 
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.

=====Judge=====
[[File:SSBU Judge.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Judge in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{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:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!#!!Description
|-
| 1 || A very weak hit that does not inflict flinching or knockback, and inflicts 12% damage to the user.
|-
| 2 || Has minimal knockback. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', it has a 20% chance of [[tripping]] a opponent
|-
| 3 || Similar to the [[Fan]]'s attack, as it launches the opponent towards Mr. Game & Watch.
|-
| 4 || Inflicts a slashing attack that launches opponents diagonally.
|-
| 5 || Produces four electrical charges that zap the opponent, making them rise slightly.
|-
| 6 || Deals flame damage and threatens recovering opponents, it has the second strongest knockback of all Judge attacks.
|-
| 7 || Deals moderate knockback. If the attack connects and Mr. Game & Watch is on the ground, a [[food]] item will appear in reference to the number 7 being associated with luck.
|-
| 8 || Freezes the opponent and has weak vertical knockback.
|-
| 9 || Deals massive knockback, intended to resemble the effect of the [[Home-Run Bat]]. Can KO at single-digit damage percentages in some cases. It also has the strongest knockback of all Judge attacks.
|-
|}
 
Custom variants of Judge appear in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'':
 
'''Extreme Judge''' only picks numbers 1 and 9. Getting a 1 causes Mr. Game & Watch to take 5% damage, while a 9 delivers a high knockback attack, but the attack offers less knockback than getting a 9 with the default Judge.
 
'''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.

=====Fire=====
[[File:SSBU Fire.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Fire in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Fire}}
'''Fire''' is Mr. Game & Watch's up special move. Based on ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'' first released in 1980, a pair of firefighters briefly appear on both sides of Mr. Game & Watch to propel him into the air with their trampoline; in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the firemen also slightly push any nearby opponents away. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Mr. Game & Watch simply falls back toward ground after the jump, while in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' onward his parachute neutral aerial move in the previous game is part of this move instead, automatically deploying once Game & Watch reaches the peak of the jump. The parachute can be retracted by attacking or pressing down on the control stick, while holding left or right allows the player to control Mr. Game & Watch's horizontal movement. Unlike most up special moves, Mr. Game & Watch is not left helpless afterwards, and thus is able to attack, but he cannot use this move again until he lands on the ground.
 
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=====
[[File:SSBU Oil Panic.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Oil Panic in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Oil Panic}}
'''Oil Panic''' is Mr. Game & Watch's down special move, based on ''[[Oil Panic]]'' released in 1982. When used, Mr. Game & Watch pulls out a bucket in front of him and can absorb any energy-based projectiles (such as [[Ness#PK Flash|PK Flash]] or a [[Ray Gun]] shot) into the bucket. If this move is used after three attacks are absorbed, Mr. Game & Watch throws out the oil in his bucket which has extreme damage and knockback, determined by adding up how much damage each of the projectiles absorbed would have done. The oil splash can also be enough to one-hit KO if it has absorbed three projectiles that are strong.
 
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.

====Final Smash====
=====Octopus=====
[[File:Mr. Game & Watch Octopus Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Octopus in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Octopus}}
'''Octopus''' is Mr. Game & Watch's [[Final Smash]]. When used, Mr. Game & Watch transforms into the [[Octopus (character)|Octopus]] from the Game & Watch game [[Octopus (Game & Watch)|''Octopus'']]. While he can move in this state, he can still only move like a normal character; he is able to move around across the ground and jump, and can fall off the stage. Octopus damages any opponents that make contact with it, and pressing the attack buttons causes the tentacles to extend, which gives it more range to hit others. The front side of the octopus deals more damage than the back.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Final Smash is no longer controlled by the player. After transforming, Mr. Game & Watch automatically moves forward, grabbing any opponents in his way and dragging them towards the right side of the screen, instantly KO'ing them. Mr. Game & Watch then reverts to his regular form at the position he initiated the Final Smash.<ref>[https://youtu.be/Ic0xR07DhSY 26: Mr. Game & Watch – Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 30, 2018.</ref>
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the Octopus has a rainbow-colored outline, similar to the glow a character has after collecting a [[Smash Ball]].

The guy you're looking at now, Mr. Game & Watch, was a character who appeared in these games.

Activate Mr. Game & Watch's Final Smash to transform into that octopus! Ram into opponents, and use the attack button to extend the tentacles.

====Palutena's Guidance====
*'''[[Pit (character)|Pit]]''': Hey, it's a Shadow Bug!
*'''[[Palutena]]''': No, that's just Mr. Game & Watch.
*'''Viridi''': Watch out for number nine. Pit.
*'''Pit''': Uh, what are you talking about?
*'''Palutena''': Mr. Game & Watch's Judge attack displays random numbers. And when it displays "9," the attack is devastating.
*'''Viridi''': Getting hit with a nine will knock out any fighter with a single strike, no matter who it is. When his back is against the wall, Mr. Game & Watch might try his luck with a Judge attack.
*'''Pit''': Leaving victory up to luck doesn't seem like the best strategy.
*'''Palutena''': Well, luck is part of every victory.
*'''Viridi''': So you'd better watch yourself, Pit.

*''When using his side special, Judge, this fighter pulls out a hammer and the numbers 1-9 are displayed. If you pull off a 9 attack, it will really knock the opponent back. His Final Smash turns him into an octopus that can pull opponents off the stage!''

==Trivia==
[[File:Smash Ultimate Mr. Game & Watach.png|thumb|130px80px|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 [[Metal Box]], Mr. Game & Watch will still make beeping noisessound wheneffects attacking,as moving around, or taking damageusual. This is likely because hethey are not considered hasto nobe voice effects. He also appears more 3D when metal.
**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 Metalmetal form in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', his outline becomes black in Metalhis 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.
[[File:WL4 Item Shopkeeper Sprites.png|thumb|The shop owner]]
*The [[shop owner]] from ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' bears somewhat of a resemblance to Mr. Game & Watch.
