'''''Vermin''''' is part of the [[Game & Watch]] series of handheld videogames, and was released on July 10, 1980; another version of the game was also released that year, under the name '''''The Exterminator'''''<ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/vermin.htm ''Vermin'' info page on In The Attic, a website dedicated to classic videogames] Retrieved 13 November 2010</ref>. This game basically has the player moving left and right to smack incoming moles with hammers. If any moles are left untouched for a few seconds, the player is penalized with a miss.

 

Vermin was a game in the gallery of the original ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]''.

 

This game was remade for ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''. The Modern Mode of this game features an [[Orange Yoshi]] guarding six [[Yoshi Egg]]s from incoming [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, [[Fly Guy]]s, and [[Boo]]s; different types of enemies move at different speeds. The Boos will not move if Yoshi is looking at one. If the any of the baddies are left unattended, they will start pounding the eggs. Each egg can only take up to three hits. If an egg gets completely broken, the enemy that broke the egg will mock Yoshi, and the player will get a [[Game Over]]. Every 200 points, the player gets rewarded a bonus dependent on how many unbroken eggs are on the field, and all the unbroken eggs also break themselves to reveal something good (i.e. [[Yoshi's Cookie|Cookies]] at 200 points, [[Fruit]]s at 400, [[Baby Yoshi]]s at 600, [[Coin]]s at 800, and [[Super Star]]s at 1,000, with the cycle only continuing after that). [[Monty Mole]]s will also appear at 200, 500, and 700 points to lay a [[Heart]] on the field. Hitting the heart with the hammer will recover a third of the damage done to the eggs.
