Game & Watch Gallery 2
Game & Watch Gallery 2 features six games based upon the Game & Watch brand of handheld games. Each game contains a 'Classic' mode, resembling the gameplay and presentation of the original Game & Watch title, and a 'Modern' mode, which contains revised graphics and additional features. For every 200 points players accrue in each game, they earn 'stars' which can be used to unlock additional features, entries in an in-game gallery displaying animations of other Game & Watch titles, and a sixth game, Ball; up to five stars can be earned in each mode and difficulty of each game, for a total of 120 stars. Ball: The player juggles two to three balls in the air, requiring the player to catch and toss them up again, with one point earned for each successful catch. In the 'Modern' version, Bob-Ombs will also sometimes appear, which the player must avoid catching; multiple playable characters can also be unlocked. Chef: The player moves left and right to catch food in their frying pan to toss up into the air. In the 'Modern' version, the player can rotate and turn on the spot to feed Yoshi. Donkey Kong: The player moves left and right and jumps to avoid barrels, making their way up platforms and ladders towards Donkey Kong. In the 'Modern' version, platforms disappear and levels change for greater variation. Helmet: The player moves left and right to avoid tools falling from the sky, making their way between two doors, with a point awarded for every journey. In the 'Modern' version, a button on the floor occasionally appears, awarding coins for bonus points if stomped upon. Parachute: The player controls a boat, and must collect parachutists before they fall into shark-infested waters, in which case a life is lost. In the 'Modern' version, parachutists sometimes land in a cannon to be shot back into the sky. Vermin: The player moves left and right to hit moles with a hammer as they appear out of ground. In the 'Modern' version, the player controls Yoshi, who can also move up and down, and must guard eggs from vermin that come from all sides.
