'''Mr. Game & Watch''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. Because of his rather low standing on the ''[[Melee]]'' tier list, he has been significantly buffed for his appearance in ''Project M''.  He ranks 6th out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], placing him in the A tier and significantly above his placements in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', where he ranks 19th out of 26 and 16th out of 38, respectively. He ranks much lower on the official [[Project +]] tier list, ranking 24th out of 42, near the top of B tier.

==Changes from ''Melee'' to PM==
Mr. Game & Watch was significantly [[buff]]ed from ''Melee'' to ''PM''. Various issues he had in ''Melee'' such as his inability to [[L-cancel]] all of his aerials and his extremely small shield were fixed. Some (but not all) of the improvements he had in ''Brawl'' were retained while various moves in his moveset had various adjustments to make them more effective such as an increase in power or speed. His specials also received various improvements. [[Chef]] is much faster, [[Fire]] no longer leaves Mr. Game & Watch [[helpless]] and [[Judgment]] received various changes to make it more effective. Dots now appear above Judgment to show whether the next judge will be an odd or even number and judges 2-8 are significantly more effective. Judge also retains the advanced techniques it gained from ''Brawl''.
Mr. Game & Watch was significantly [[buff]]ed from ''Melee'' to ''PM''.
 
Mr. Game & Watch only received a small number of minor nerfs from his ''Melee'' counterpart. He also lacks some of the improvements he had in ''Brawl'' such as the lower landing lag on his aerials and his parachute after using Fire. As well as this, he also maintains the [[grab release glitch]] he received in ''Brawl''.
 
Overall, Mr. Game & Watch is more effective than he was in both games and his tournament results are stronger than they have ever been in other Smash games.

===Project+===
[[File:Mr. Game & Watch Palette (P+).png|800px|thumb|center|Mr. Game & Watch's alternate costumes in P+]]
As of version 2.5.2, Mr. Game & Watch is the only character in Project+ to only get recolors rather then at least one alternate costume that changes the character's model.
'''Black''' ''(default)'': Resembles the characters from the {{s|wikipedia|Game & Watch}} games ''Fire'' and ''Parachute''. He has the general color of the LCD frames in most of the Game & Watch handhelds.
'''Red''' ''(Red Team #1)'': Resembles his Red Team color in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and is the reminiscent of characters and objects as depicted on the {{s|wikipedia|Virtual Boy}}, though this color palette has become much brighter to match with the original Virtual Boy object-depicted screen colors since [[Project M]].
'''Yellow'''
'''Blue''' ''(Blue Team #1)'': Resembles his Blue Team color in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], though this color palette has become much brighter since [[Project M]].
'''Green''' ''(Green Team #1)'': Resembles his Green Team color in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], though this color palette has become much brighter since [[Project M]].
'''Cyan''' ''(Blue Team #2)'': Resembles one of his colors in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and is the reminiscent of the backlit display of the {{s|bulbapedia|Game Boy Light}}, though the outline has been changed into the Teal color since [[Project M]].
'''Gray''': This color palette is based on one of the {{s|wikipedia|Game & Watch}} console color schemes.
'''Orange''' ''(Red Team #2)''
'''Olive''' ''(Green Team #2)'': Resembles one of his colors in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and is the reminiscent of characters and objects as depicted on the original {{s|wikipedia|Game Boy}}, though this color palette has been more green-ish and with a darker olive-green outline, to match with the original Game Boy screen color since [[Project+]].
'''Maroon''': Resembles his Red Team color in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and is the reminiscent of characters and objects as depicted on the {{s|wikipedia|Virtual Boy}}, though this color palette has become slightly more pink-ish since [[Super Smash Bros. 4]].
'''Brown'''
'''White''': Reminiscent of the monochromatic LCD screen of the Game & Watch games, also appeared in [[Project M]] and [[Super Smash Bros. 4]].
'''Pink''' ''(Red Team #3)''
'''Lavender''' ''(Blue Team #3)''
'''Teal''' ''(Green Team #3)'': Resembles one of his colors in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and is the reminiscent of the backlit display of the {{s|bulbapedia|Game Boy Light}}, though this color palette has become much darker and more saturated since [[Super Smash Bros. 4]].
'''Secret costumes:'''
[[File:G&W R_P+.png|160px]]
'''Z-Secret Costume''': Rainbow Mr. Game & Watch
'''R-Secret Costume''': Color-Inverted Mr. Game & Watch - Meant to be the opposite color palette of Mr. Game & Watch's default colors.
