Mr. Game & Watch
Updated January 29th, 2002
|
This character comes from the "Game & Watch" series of LCD game devices. Why make this unexpected choice?
Game & Watch began being sold in the 80's. It continued being sold abroad until '93, and has sold a whopping 40 million units worldwide. That's on par with Mario.
Game & Watch does not use cartridges. Each system has two games, involving moving around solid-black people frame-by-frame across the LCD screen.
In Smash Bros, Mr. Game & Watch is a reproduction of these characters. Each of his attacks and special moves hail from a different game. Wow! (How many can you recognize?)
His flatness and frame-by-frame motion have been painstakingly recreated. In fact, during development, even his motions were frame-by-frame, but that was changed to be more traditional because it was too hard to play...
It should be noted that, even though Game & Watch devices can be hard to find, players can still play the "Game Boy Gallery" series on e-Reader.
How to unlock: Clear Classic, Adventure, or Break the Targets with all characters except Mr. Game & Watch. Or play 1000 versus matches.
His Break the Targets stage is short and simple.
