Game & Watch Gallery 2, known asGame Boy Gallery 3 in Australia andGame Boy Gallery 2 (ゲームボーイギャラリー2Gēmu Bōi Gyararī 2) in Japan, is a video game compilation that was released for theGame Boy in 1997. Even though it is the sequel toGame & Watch Gallery, it is actually the third game in theGame & Watch Gallery series. The game includes six revisions ofGame & Watch games, one of which is not playable from the beginning and must be unlocked. Like all the otherGame & Watch Gallery games, theminigames can be played in either Classic Mode or Modern Mode; the former is identical to the original release of the minigame, while the latter has been redone with characters of theSuper Mario franchise along with updated graphics, updated gameplay, and music.Game & Watch Gallery 2 was re-released as aGame Boy Color game in Europe, Australia, and North America in 1998 but not in Japan. However, on September 9, 2020, an unreleased Japanese Game Boy Color version of the game was leaked.

The game was re-released on theNintendo 3DS'sVirtual Console in Japan in March 2012; in Europe and Australia on May 3, 2012; and in North America on May 24, 2012.

Stars[edit]

Like the previous game,Game & Watch Gallery 2 features a system to unlock bonus features. As before, the player earns a star every time they score 200points in a mode of a minigame, being able to earn up to five stars in each mode. The more stars the player earns, the more things they unlock in theGallery Corner. The player unlocks a very hard mode called Star Mode after they reach 1,000 points in a Modern game. The player can earn a total of 120 stars.

Pre-release and unused content[edit]

Early box art[edit]

Early North American box art

An early print of the North American localization, released in extremely small quantities, used a different box art from that seen in later prints. In it,Yoshi has his appearance from 3D artwork at the time, andPrincess Peach has a smiling expression.Donkey Kong also looks different. The final illustration, however, depicts Yoshi in his standard 2D appearance and Peach with a worried expression.

This content was found in the game's files, but part of it is available only through cheat codes.

Art errors[edit]

• Yoshi is shown as anOrange Yoshi in the Game Boy Color version ofVermin, presumably to make him visible within the handheld's display restrictions, even though the box artwork, the manual artwork, and his sprite on the Game Select screen depict him with his proper green color. Additionally, the Yoshi inBall is a Green Yoshi on the Super Game Boy and a Light Blue Yoshi on the Game Boy Color.
  • Similarly, although the Yoshi seen inParachute is an adult Green Yoshi, the manual art for that game shows a yellow Little Yoshi in Mario's boat instead.
  • Also, the accompanying art forChef depicts Toad being a waiter and having his mouth water as Peach is flipping eggs and fish from a frying pan, as well as another artwork depicting Toad with a slab of meat in front of him and obviously planning on eating it, even though Toad is absent from the game itself. Additionally, Peach is shown with a chef's hat, though in the game itself she wearsher crown.
• Turtle Bridge is misspelled as "Turtre Bridge" in the Museum menu, although it is spelled correctly in the expanded view.

Notes[edit]

TheGame Boy displays a Game Boy.

TheSuper Game Boy displays aSuper Nintendo Entertainment System controller.

TheGame Boy Color displays a Game Boy Color.

• Depending on what Game Boy hardware the game is played on, it displays appropriate hardware for controls when the mode for each game is selected, except for theGame Boy Advance andGame Boy Player, which display aGame Boy Color regardless.
• After the player views the staff credits once (after attaining 50 stars), they can access the credits again at any time by holding Down on in the "View the Gallery" option and pressing or. The player can also view the cast credits again by inputting the same button sequence, except they need to press Up on.
• In the Game Boy Color version, the pause/Game Over menu's colors vary depending on the game/version. The border can also be changed by pressing. These are the possible color pairs:
  • Parachute – Blue and white for Modern and Classic versions
  • Helmet – Black and orange (Area 1), grayish blue and white (Area 2), red and white (Area 3) in Modern version; orange and black in Classic version
  • Chef – Orange and white for Modern version and dark blue and white for Classic version
  • Vermin – Red and white for Modern version and green and black for Classic version
  • Donkey Kong – Orange and gray (Area 1), red and green (Area 2), green and dark blue (Area 3) for Modern version; green and black for Classic version
  • Ball – Dark blue and white (Yoshi variant), orange and black (Mario variant), orange and blue (Wario variant), blue and yellow (King Koopa variant); orange and black for Classic version
• This was the first handheld game featuringSuper Mario characters that had its North American manual printed in full color. The manuals for Nintendo-published games on the Game Boy prior to fall 1998 were printed usingtwo-tonespot color palettes, using black and red inks for all games released through 1995, and black and white with green, blue, or purple used for the background and selected other elements from 1996 to 1998.
