The composite Mr. Game & Watch character debuted in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. While some Game & Watch games starred specific characters, such as [[Mario]]'s appearance in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario's Cement Factory}}'', a majority simply starred nameless and simply-drawn stick figure-like characters. These characters, due to the LCD display of the Game & Watch, could only move in alternating and preset frames, similar to the numbers on a calculator. Also, the animation frames were monochromatic, simply being black LCD frames against a preset background. | The composite Mr. Game & Watch character debuted in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
