Game & Watch Gallery, known asGame Boy Gallery 2 in Australia andGame Boy Gallery (ゲームボーイギャラリーGēmu Bōi Gyararī) in Japan, is a video game compilation that was released for theGame Boy in 1997. Despite its name, it is actually the second game in theGame & Watch Gallery series. The game includes both Classic and Modern versions ofGame & Watch games. The Classic version is identical to that of the originals that features nameless individuals as the main characters, while the Modern version featuresMario and his friends along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music.

Three sequels followedGame & Watch Gallery:Game & Watch Gallery 2,Game & Watch Gallery 3, andGame & Watch Gallery 4.

The game was rereleased on theNintendo 3DS'sVirtual Console in Japan on June 22, 2011; in North America on July 14, 2011; and in Europe and Australia on July 21, 2011.

Stars[edit]

Game & Watch Gallery features a system to unlock bonus features. To do this, the player needs to earn stars. Every 200points the player scores in aminigame is worth a star, up to five stars in each minigame mode. A high score between 200 and 399 is worth one star, a score of 400–599 is two stars, a score of 600–799 is three stars, a score of 800–999 is four stars, and a score of 1,000 and above is five stars. Each minigame counts its stars separately (for example, the player cannot earn 150 points in one minigame and 250 points in another and earn two stars for the cumulative total). As the player collects stars, the player unlocks features in theGallery Corner. If the player earns five stars in a Modern game, the player will unlock a very hard mode called Star Mode. The player can earn a total of 80 stars.

Minigames[edit]

• Manhole –Yoshi must block holes in the ground with four manhole covers to make sureToad,Donkey Kong Jr., andMario do not fall through. In Classic Mode, the player has only one manhole cover to block the holes.
• Fire – Mario andLuigi must catch Toads,Yoshis, and Donkey Kong Jrs. as they jump out the window of the burningMushroom Castle. Also coming from the window areYoshi Eggs that contain either aSuper Star, which contributes bonus points, or aBob-omb, which counts as a miss when carried to safety. In Classic Mode, an apartment is on fire, forcing the people inside to jump out the window. The player controls two firemen that use their life net to bounce the falling people across the screen to safety into the ambulance.
• Octopus – Mario is a sea diver and must deliver treasure toPrincess Peach, but he must avoid theOctopus's arms. His speed is affected by how much treasure he is carrying, but he can throw his bagful of treasure at the Octopus's arms. Bonus points are awarded depending on how much treasure he gives to Peach. In Classic Mode, a sea diver must avoid the Octopus's arms while diving for treasure.
• Oil Panic –Bowser is dropping oil into acastle, and Mario must use two buckets to catch the oil before it touches the floor. Yoshi serves to dispense oil and can even be used to take out Bowser from the top of the castle, gaining bonus points in the process. In Classic Mode, the Station Helper must collect oil dripping from the ceiling of a gas station in one bucket and dump it to his boss before the bucket overflows.

Super Game Boy

• Playing on theSuper Game Boy displays aSuper Nintendo Entertainment System controller instead of the bottom of aGame Boy Pocket when the mode for each game is being selected.
• The unused pause jingle for Modern games was recycled and modified forGame & Watch Gallery 4.
• This is the onlyGame & Watch Gallery game to have a different pause jingle for Classic games.
• Although the game is known asGame Boy Gallery 2 in Australia, the originalGame Boy Gallery, released only in Australia and Europe, does not feature characters of theSuper Mario franchise.
