This article is about Mr. Game & Watch's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses, see Mr. Game & Watch.

Mr. Game & Watch (ゲーム&ウォッチ, Gēmu ando Uocchi) is a character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Though not officially confirmed on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website, Mr. Game & Watch was indirectly revealed from a leaked copy of the game. One of the leaked screenshots shows what appears to be Game & Watch's final smash, in which Mr. Game & Watch appears to be transformed into an octopus.

He has been spotted making some different poses from Melee, which are the only major aesthetic changes he has in Brawl. Additionally, Mr. Game & Watch can utilize his parachute to slow down his fall.

Role in the Subspace Emissary

Snake, Meta Knight and Lucario come on to the bridge of the Halberd to discover a gang of Mr. Game and Watches are piloting the ship. The three quickly defeat them, throwing them through the window down to the deck in front of Shiek, Fox, and Peach. The clones then revert to Shadowbugs and form into a giant metal monster. Snake, Lucario, Falco and Meta Knight then jump down to to aid them. Once the monster is defeated, the Shadowbugs will disappear, leaving behind Mr. Game and Watch's trophy. Fox keeps a close eye on it with his blaster while Peach revives it. Mr. Game and Watch then bowed before the princess in gratitude. Then he became mesmerized by the parasol that Peach was holding.
