Mr. Game & Watch
From The Codex
.png)
Background
Mr. Game & Watch is a composite representation of various generic characters featured in Nintendo's Game & Watch products and video game series created in 1980 by Gunpei Yokoi. Mr. Game & Watch is a man from Superflat World, a completely flat world, having no third dimension whatsoever. He is also monochrome, and due to the LCD display of the Game & Watch, he can only move in alternating, preset frames, similar to the numbers on a calculator, or the Game & Watch games themselves.
he Shadow Bugs trophy description explains that Mr. Game & Watch embodies a limitless supply of Shadow Bugs inside of him, which can be extracted incessantly. Shadow Bugs are a substance which can replicate characters or even create new dark creatures. Tabuu discovered this and captured Mr. Game & Watch in the prologue, using the Shadow Bugs to build the Subspace Army.
Snake, Meta Knight and Lucario enter the Halberd's control room to discover a gang of Mr. Game & Watches are piloting the ship. Snake quickly charges at them and knocks them all out the window. They fall onto the main deck, interrupting Zelda (disguised as Sheik), Fox, and Peach's tea party. The clones then revert to Shadow Bugs and form into a giant metal monster called Duon. Snake and Lucario jump down to help, along with Falco who ejects from an Arwing. Once the robot is defeated, the Shadow Bugs float away, leaving behind Mr. Game & Watch's trophy. Fox prepares to shoot it with his blaster, but Peach revives it. Upon being revived, Mr. Game & Watch wonders where he is until Peach scolds him for the trouble he created, causing him to look down in shame. Then Peach gives him her parasol to cheer him up.
At the entrance to Subspace, Mr. Game & Watch, along with the rest of his team, prepares to attack Tabuu, but is effortlessly turned into a trophy by the Off Waves. He is later revived thanks to Luigi, Ness, and King Dedede. After that, he accompanies the heroes through the Great Maze and the showdown with Tabuu.
It was confirmed on the "DOJO!!" that the reason Mr. Game & Watch was manipulated so easily by Tabuu is that he has no understanding of good or evil, despite the fact that Mr. Game & Watch has shown moral behaviour in many of his games.

| Sandbag | When attacked, produces items. |
| Screw Attack | Turns the holder's jumps into Screw Attacks. In Melee, applies for as long as the holder keeps the item, and a forced Screw Attack will be applied to those the item is thrown at. In Brawl, applies until the item wears off and does not need to be held in-hand once picked up. |
| Smart Bomb | Produces a large explosion when thrown or attacked. Has a chance to be a dud, though it can still explode if hit or thrown again. |
| Smash Ball | Flies around the stage. Characters must break in order to obtain. Once broken, player presses their neutral special button to use their Final Smash. Will fly off-stage after a short period if not obtained and used. |

| Steel Diver | A smaller gun-like version of the Steel Diver from the self-titled game for the Nintendo 3DS. Fires a torpedo which travels slowly at first. Deals no shield damage whatsoever. |
| Super Launch Star | Can be set in midair, where it will attract and launch any characters that get too close to it. The launch has the potential to KO fighters. |

| X Bomb | Creates a cross-shaped explosion that spans most of the screen. |
Intelligence: Unknown (Has existed since the beginning of time, and shows to be a competent crewman for the Halberd, but has no understanding over the concept of good and evil, likely due to being limited by his 2 dimensional mind)
Weaknesses: As a 2 dimensional being he's limited to higher dimensional aspects, otherwise none notable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Oil Panic: He can absorb energy-based attacks like fire, lasers, explosions etc. and then reflect them back at 3x the power.
- Shadow Bugs: Mr. Game & Watch's body is composed out of a mysterious matter called Shadow Bugs. This matter has the property of being able to be produced from Mr. Game & Watch's body endlessly and of taking the shape of anything it desires. It was used to create most members of the Subspace Army, but also to create clones from nearly every fighters. As Mr. Game & Watch himself is made out of Shadow Bugs, he can clone himself at will or reform his own body into another form (such as Duon).
- Octopus: He can turn into an octopus for a limited amount of time.
- Sword Beam: When at full health, he can fire beams out of his sword.
- Water of Life: If he is brought to death, the Water of Life will bring him back at full health once.
- Judge (Smash): This move allows Mr. Game and Watch to draw a random number between 1 and 9. The higher the number, the stronger the attack. Various elemental-based attacks can be achieved through uses of this move, as well as the potential to instantly knock out an opponent if the attack is a 9. Mr. Game and Watch is most likely to try his luck with this move when he's in a tight pinch.
- Judge (G&W): He can pull up a numbers pad, which then shows a random number from 1 to 9. Any number higher than 2 seems to increase his durability and attack potency to the point of instantly knocking out beings he could trade blows with previously and so on with each higher numbers.
Key: Composite | Full Triforce
Note: The attack that Tabuu used to one-shot the entire Smash cast is far above his regular attacks and this is further proven in-game as when he uses this same attack it one-shots whoever is on-screen thus arguing that they should not scale to Tabuu because he one-shotted them is not accurate as it's with a very specific attack.
