My first game ever, at the time I felt like I would have rather gotten an actual mario game, but looking back, it was one of the most soulful things nintendo ever produced You know a game is soulful when the music can make a 4 year old cry. I mean I was a pretty sad kid but still

Just went through all the Mario Game & Watch Galleries recently. Agree with OP that G&W2 is the best Gameboy entry.

In G&WG1 the only one I really like is Fire. Oil Panic is okay, don't like Octopus and Manhole is better in Classic

G&WG2 I pretty much like all the games except Ball. Parachute and Chef are especially fun, and Vermin is great too (reminder that you can play as Wario in Helmet!)

G&WG3 is my least favorite. EGG and Turtle Bridge is decent, but Greenhouse and Mario Bros. I dislike and Donkey Kong Jr. is just very similar to Donkey Kong.

G&WG4 is probably the best by virtue of having the most games and bringing back some of my favorite classics. Fire and Rain Shower are great, Mario's Cement Factory is okay if a bit slow, you have both DK & DK jr. Chef continues to be amazing and Fire Attack is great even if it's too easy to survive, even on Star Mode.

I would love another Game & Watch Gallery. There's still so many G&W games that have never been remade, and since then the Mario cast has expanded. Still opportunities to showcase these old classic.

>Donkey Kong GB is pretty much the definitive version of it.
I mean, that's oversimplifying. The game doesn't play even a little similar to the original Donkey Kong and the arcade levels are a tiny facsimile. It isn't like DK94 is just DK but better, it's a completely different game inspired by DK.

If you want something like a modern Game and Watch Gallery you could try Kingdom Hearts 3. Which sounds fucking crazy out of context but the collectables in that game are 23 Game and Watch clones, because Nomura was a fan of Game and Watch. You can get it on PC now and download a savestate. I dont know how it compares to Game and Watch since I never played them since I was a kid. But I figure it's worth mentioning because Nintendo sure as hell won't do one again.

>How so? I remember Fire in GBA being seemingly slightly easier but I didn't notice anything else. Care to elaborate
it's easier because they expanded the time you have to catch a character before they hit the ground, and they did that because they fucked up the timing/gravity so it's possible for multiple characters to hit the ground at the exact same time. in the original GB/C version, that was impossible. the changed gravity is also fucked up and it isn't consistent across the bounces which really fucking annoys me so much I can't play it.

This may have actually happened to me a few times, so it looks like you are probably right. I don't remember having that many close calls where I felt like there was little choice in who I try to save in the G&WG2 version
