The gameplay in this version is largely the same, but the graphics are updated and the divers are replaced by Mario down below and Peach in the boat. However, in this version, Mario gets slower as he grabs more treasure. To counter this, Mario can throw all of his treasure, which lightens his load and can stun one of the octopus's tentacles for a brief time. At 200, 500, and 700 points, Lakitu will drop a Heart to recover a miss. In Game & Watch Gallery 4, the Octopus changes color every 200 points. |
