Game & Watch Gallery is a game developed by Nintendo and released in 1997 for the Game Boy. It is the first game in the Game & Watch Gallery series and by far the simplest. It is known as Game Boy Gallery (ゲームボーイギャラリー Gēmu Bōi Gyararii?) in Japan, and as Game Boy Gallery 2 in Australia. This game is the only game in the Game & Watch Gallery series to have its own soundtrack. The soundtrack also included updated versions of the music featured in the game.
[edit] Games
Game & Watch Gallery features the following four games:
- Manhole: Mario, Toad and Donkey Kong Jr. are continuously walking across a platform. Players control Yoshi and must maneuver him in order to hold a manhole up to various gaps in the platform so that the characters do not fall.
- Oil Panic: Mario must catch leaking oil with a bucket, then dump it out the window to Yoshi before it overflows.
- Octopus: Mario dives for treasure to give to Peach but must avoid an octopus' moving tentacles. The background beat of the music that plays during the modern version of Octopus is from the Popeye arcade game. It was later included in Game & Watch Gallery 4.
- Fire: Peach's castle is burning and Toad, Yoshi and Donkey Kong Jr. are continuously leaping out to escape. Players control Mario and Luigi, who hold a tarp and must bounce their friends to safety. Like Octopus, Fire was later included in Game & Watch Gallery 4.
Players can also choose to play these games in their original form, playing as the character who eventually became known as Mr. Game & Watch in Super Smash Bros. Melee. There are some slight differences between the classic and modern versions and in the former the games are composed of simple pixel graphics rather than detailed sprites.
