Interestingly, in a [[DOJO!!]] update where Sakurai explained some mysteries about the [[Subspace Emissary]], he says that [[Tabuu]] used Mr. Game & Watch's flat qualities to create [[Shadow Bug]]s, making Mr. Game & Watch the origin of Shadow Bugs, though Mr. Game & Watch is not aware of it himself.

Mr. Game & Watch has been significantly buffed from ''Melee'', as he benefits from ''Brawl''{{'}}s new physics, along with other various buffs. The introduction of [[hitstun canceling]] and [[momentum canceling]] helps Mr. Game & Watch more than most characters, as it not only makes him harder to combo but it also significantly improves his endurance mainly due to Bucket Braking. Other new Brawl mechanics such as [[B-reversing]] also help him out, and the removal of certain Melee mechanics such as [[L-canceling]] affects him less than other characters. His shield game has been improved significantly. His shield is much larger, and his sidestep is no longer one of the worst in the game. Overall, Mr. Game & Watch is a much more effective character than in ''Melee'', although he still struggles against the stronger characters in the game, resulting in him being above average.

Mr. Game & Watch is once again an unlockable playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', alongside the entire playable roster of the series. He now changes appearance depending on the game which the move he is using comes from. ~~His moveset~~ has been significantly ~~altered; for instance~~, ~~he has~~ a ~~new forward aerial~~ in ~~the form~~ of a ~~bomb projectile~~, and his ~~up air now functions similarly~~ to ~~[[Mega Man]]~~'s. ~~In addition~~, his ~~Final Smash, Octopus, now carries and drags opponents offscreen~~.

Mr. Game & Watch is once again an unlockable playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', alongside the entire playable roster of the series. He now changes appearance depending on the game in which the move he is using comes from.

Having been regarded as a lower mid-tier character in ''SSB4'' (39th out of 55), Mr. Game and Watch has been significantly buffed in his transition to ''Ultimate''. In a similar fashion to {{SSBU|Link}}, Mr. Game and Watch have undergone a massive overhaul in his moveset that goes beyond changes to aesthetic appearances; a majority of his moves have been altered in range, damage, knockback, lag, or have been completely reworked altogether in their purpose and utility. As a result, Mr. Game and Watch has undergone a plethora of buffs and nerfs in his transition to ''Ultimate'', arguably the most out of any other returning veteran. While these changes have weakened his most powerful tools and set-ups from ''SSB4'', they have also greatly improved several of his more underwhelming moves in his toolkit from the previous game.
