[[File:Mr.Game&WatchBrawl5.jpg|thumb|left|Mr. Game & Watch getting 9 in ''Brawl''.]]

The number that can display as the move is used is a random number from 1 to 9, like in the original game. In order to add variance, in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', Mr. Game & Watch cannot get a number that was used in either of the two previous uses of the move, meaning each valid number has a 1 in 7 chance of appearing. For example, getting a 5 means that the next two uses of Judge cannot result in a 5. At the start of a match and after each respawn, the previous two uses are set to 1 and 2, meaning that the first use of Judge in a match cannot be a 1, and the first two uses cannot be a 2.

In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', this behavior is removed, allowing any number to always have a 1 in 9 chance of appearing and making it possible to get a number any number of times in a row. Getting a 1 in the All-Star Mode's Waiting Room does not cause recoil damage. In addition, in the [[Home-Run Contest]] and [[Target Blast]] modes, the move always comes up as 6, removing randomness but making it impossible for the player to use 9 to their advantage.

In ''Ultimate'', it is once again impossible to get the same number twice in a row, but it is still possible to get the same number every other roll. In addition, if the player is the lowest-ranked player in a match (has fewer stocks or points than any other player), there is a 50% chance of getting a 9 in the last 5 seconds of the match, though this will not bypass the inability to get the same number twice in a row. If this 50% check doesn't succeed, the standard roll will occur, which may result in a 9 regardless, making the effective likelihood of getting a 9 roughly 56%.<ref>https://twitter.com/Meshima_/status/1356748433034477570</ref>

|7||Deals moderate knockback and causes a [[food]] item to appear. In ''Melee'' it drops a random food item, in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' it drops one apple, and in ''Ultimate'' it drops 3 apples. The food item will only appear if the attack connects, even against [[invincibility]]. The apple appears regardless of whether [[item]]s are [[Item Switch|on or not]].||14%||258%{{GameIcon|SSBB}}<br>264%{{GameIcon|SSB4}}<br>257%{{GameIcon|SSBU}}
