==History==
==Origins==
The Octopus, as stated before, is taken from the game ''Octopus''. In this game, three scuba divers wearing helmets go under the sea to loot some treasure from a giant octopus. If a tentacle touched them, it counted as a lost "life", so to speak. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], however, [[Mr. Game and Watch]] turns into the giant octopus and flies over the stage, similar to [[Super Sonic]], but the octopus can extend its tentacles, like it did in Octopus.
''Octopus'' was a ''Game & Watch'' game where three treasure hunting divers avoided a giant octopus guarding a sunken pirate ship and collected its sunken treasure. If one of the divers got caught by the octopus, the next diver would come down and substitute. The octopus would keep watch over the ship until all of the divers were caught. [[Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB)|Mr. Game & Watch]]'s Up-Smash attack also originates from ''Octopus'', where he uses his diver's helmet to headbutt his opponents.

"Octopus" in action

Mr. Game & Watch's Final Smash is based off of the Game & Watch game Octopus. Simply put, Mr. G&W transforms into a large octopus that float-crawls freely (quite slowly) through the stage. Even though the Octopus looks like it's flying, it still requires terrain in order to move, which results in a self-destruct if it falls off the stage, although it can jump slightly. Out of its eight legs (1 of which can't be seen), four of them can extend to about 7 times their length. Normally, only the body will damage the opponents, but if the tentacles are extended, only the tips of the tentacles will damage opponents until they withdraw. The tentacles in the back deal less damage than the ones in the front, which can be a problem since the Octopus can't turn around. Touching the G&W Octopus causes 16% of damage. The Final Smash lasts about 17 seconds.

Origins

Octopus was a Game & Watch game where three treasure hunting divers avoided a giant octopus guarding a sunken pirate ship and collected its sunken treasure. If one of the divers got caught by the octopus, the next diver would come down and substitute. The octopus would keep watch over the ship until all of the divers were caught. Mr. Game & Watch's Up-Smash attack also originates from Octopus, where he uses his diver's helmet to headbutt his opponents.
