Oil Panic was remade for the Game Boy title Game & Watch Gallery in which it could be played in either Classic Mode or Modern Mode. In Classic Mode, Mr. Game & Watch (representing the station employee) collects the oil and dumps it out a window to his partner. Modern Mode is even farther from the original in that Bowser is actively dumping the oil from on top of a castle, forcing Mario to collect it in not one but two buckets and give it to Yoshi for removal. Another added feature is that Yoshi can also be used to remove Bowser from the castle (when possible).
Thanks to the Nintendo DS's dual-screens, another port of Oil Panic was released in Game & Watch Collection. Unlike the Game & Watch Gallery versions, this incarnation is exactly the same as the original Oil Panic.
Trivia
- The oil customers in the original version are actually cars waiting for gasoline.
- Mr. Game & Watch's Oil Panic move in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes from this game.
