'''''Parachute''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] system released on June 19, 1981 <ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/parachute.htm ''Parachute'' info page on In The Attic, a website dedicated to classic videogames] Retrieved 13 November 2010</ref>; it later appeared in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'', ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', ''[[Game & Watch Collection|Game & Watch Collection 2]]''. In this game, the player controls a rowboat and has to catch smaller people parachuting out of a plane. If they do not catch one, a shark lurking below will catch the person, and the player gets a miss. In ''Game & Watch Collection 2'', there is also a game which combines this game with ''[[Octopus]]''. |

In the Modern version, [[Mario]] controls the boat, trying to catch [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]s, who are all parachuting from a flying ship. If a parachuting character falls into a [[cannon]], it will be blasted back out. If a parachuting character falls into the water, a [[Boss Bass]] will attempt to eat it; eventually a [[Fishin' Lakitu]] will reel the fallen parachuter out of the water, and place him or her on dry land. Every 100 points, three [[egg]]s will come out of the flying ship: one that contains a Boo (which will shoot [[Bob-omb]]s from the cannon, which cause a miss), one that contains a Super Star (for bonus points), and one that contains nothing. At 200, 500, and 700 points, if the player has any misses, three bubbles with question marks will come out of the flying ship, one containing a Heart to remove a miss. The number of shots goes up based on how many points the player has (100=1 shot, 200=2 shots, 300=3 shots, etc.) |
