Mr. Game & Watch returns as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He has been heavily buffed, moving up from the bottom tier of ''Melee'' to the mid-high tier in ''Brawl''. Mr. Game & Watch's attacks have been powered up and sped up, and he arguably has the best set of [[smash attack]]s in the game. He has been given a new technique, called [[Bucket Braking]], which lets him negate all [[knockback]] while in midair. | Mr. Game & Watch returns as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Interestingly, in a [[DOJO!!]] update where Sakurai explained some mysteries about ''The Subspace Emissary'', he says that Mr. Game & Watch's two-dimensional qualities can be used to create [[Shadow Bug]]s, making him the entities' progenitor, and this led to [[Tabuu]] exploiting it to create the [[Subspace Army]]'s forces, though Mr. Game & Watch is oblivious to it himself due to possessing a lack of perceiving good and evil. | Interestingly, in a [[DOJO!!]] update where Sakurai explained some mysteries about ''The Subspace Emissary'', he says that Mr. Game & Watch's two-dimensional qualities can be used to create [[Shadow Bug]]s, making him the entities' progenitor, and this led to [[Tabuu]] exploiting it to create the [[Subspace Army]]'s forces, though Mr. Game & Watch is oblivious to it himself due to possessing a lack of perceiving good and evil. | ||

*Conceptually, Mr. Game & Watch is the only two-dimensional playable character in the ''Smash Bros.'' series. However, in the technical sense, he is composed of {{file link|Mr. Game & Watch 3D Model 3DS.png|a three-dimensional model}} just like all other characters; this model is flattened along one axis to provide a two-dimensional illusion. This flattening effect is applied to other characters in two-dimensional stages such as [[Flat Zone]] and [[Pac-Land]]. The two-dimensional illusion is somewhat broken when Mr. Game & Watch becomes [[metal]], is a [[false character]], is covered in {{b|ink|status}} or if the Z-axis glitch is performed on him, as his body is no longer featureless and appears to be rounded. This can also occur during certain [[Final Smash]]es, such as [[Dede-Rush]], [[Triple Wolf]] or [[Supernova]]. His [[amiibo]] is also three-dimensional, though it more emulates his two-dimensional appearance than using a fully three-dimensional model. | *Conceptually, Mr. Game & Watch is the only two-dimensional playable character in the ''Smash Bros.'' series.

** | **Although the ''Game & Watch'' was first released in 1980, Mr. Game & Watch did not conceptually exist until ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. This has led to some debate over whether or not Mr. Game & Watch should be considered the same entity as the playable characters from the original ''Game & Watch'' handhelds. | ||
***That said, Mr. Game & Watch, as a character in ''Smash Bros.'', is an amalgamation of different ''Game & Watch'' titles, so it is likely that he represents the entire ''Game & Watch'' brand rather than a specific game. This is further supported in ''Ultimate'', where Mr. Game & Watch, for several of his moves, changes his appearance to resemble the character in the game from which the move originated. | ***That said, Mr. Game & Watch, as a character in ''Smash Bros.'', is an amalgamation of different ''Game & Watch'' titles, so it is likely that he represents the entire ''Game & Watch'' brand rather than a specific game.
