'''''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]]'', and ''[[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 will get a miss. When the player gets three misses, they receive a [[Game Over]]. In Game B, some parachutists get stuck in trees. In ''Game & Watch Collection 2'', there is also a game that combines this game with ''[[Octopus]]''.
In the Modern version, in ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'', [[Mario]] controls the boat, trying to catch [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Jrs.]] as they parachute from a flying ship. The parachuting characters open their parachutes at different times: The Toads open them immediately after jumping out of the ship, the Yoshis open them either mid-fall or at the last minute, and the Donkey Kong Jrs. open them at the last minute. 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 parachutist out of the water and place that character on dry land. Every 100 points, three [[Yoshi 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 five bonus points), and one that contains nothing. If the player has any misses at 200, 500, or 700 points, three bubbles with question marks will come out of the flying ship, one containing a [[1 UP Heart|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.). Unlike the Classic version, music is featured, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game.
