==Gameplay==
===Classic version===
[[File:Game & Watch Gallery 2 Parachute Classic.png|frame|right|The Classic version of ''Parachute'' from ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'']]
The player controls a rowboat and has to catch smaller people parachuting out of a helicopter. Every parachutist the player catches is worth a [[point]]. As the player progresses in the game, more parachutists will appear, and they will eventually fall faster. If the player does not catch one, a shark lurking below will catch the person, and the player will get a miss. At 200 and 500 points, any misses the player has will be removed. When the player gets three misses, they receive a [[Game Over]]. In Game B, some parachutists get stuck in treesa tree.

===Modern version===
[[File:GaWG2 Parachute Game Boy Color.png|thumb|right|The Modern version of ''Parachute'' ([[Game Boy Color]])]]
''Parachute'' was remade with an updated "Modern" version for ''Game & Watch Gallery 2''. In this version, [[Mario]] controls the boat, trying to catch [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, and [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Jrs.]] as they parachute from a [[airship|flying ship]]. The parachuting characters open their parachutes at different times: The Toads open them immediately after jumping out of the ship, while the YoshisDonkey Kong Jrs. open them either mid-fall or at the last minute,. andThe thefarther Donkeyfrom Kongthe Jrs.ship openthe themYoshis atjump, the lastsooner minutethey open their parachutes. If a parachuting character falls into a [[cannon]], ithe will be blasted back out. If a parachuting character falls into the water, a [[Cheep Cheep]] will attempt to eat ithim; eventually, a [[Fishin' Lakitu]] will reel the fallen parachutist out of the water and place that character on dry land. However, if a parachuting character falls on the Cheep Cheep, it will bounce him on its head until it moves. Every 100 points, three [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s will come out of the flying ship: one that contains a [[Boo|Boo Buddy]] (which will shoot [[Bob-omb]]s from the cannon), one that contains a [[Super Star]] (for five bonus points), and one that contains nothing. If Mario catches a Bob-omb, heit will jumpblow a hole in the boat's hull, forcing him into the water, and giving the player will get a miss. The number of shots goes up based on how many points the player has (100 = one shot, 200 = two shots, 300 = three shots, etc.). If the player has any misses at 200, 500, or 700 points, three bubbles[[Magic with question marksBall]]s will come out of the flying ship, one containing a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] to remove a miss. Unlike in the Classic version, music is featured, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game.
