why is he not coloured?

Because Game & Watches are black and white. Andre (talk) 13:59, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

Not all of the Game & Watch games are black and white, but the monochromatic aspect of Mr. Game & Watch (except when he uses the Metal Cap) is indeed an allusion to the earliest Game & Watch games. Nidorino 07:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oh jeez.

This article needs to be cleaned up. Thus, a cleanup tag is in order. Come on, the damned thing is half SSBM, half cartoon and nadda for the games he first appeared in! -- A Link to the Past 10:34, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

The way I see it, Mr. Game & Watch should just be reffered to the character in SSBM, not anything else. This article should probably be about the SSBM character, and G&W games should go in the Game & Watch article. And the cartoons... uh, I had no idea Mr. GAW ever appeared in a cartoon, plus I'll bet he wasn't even reffered to as Mr. Game & Watch back then. The name of this cartoon isn't even given, and those credits seem to hog a lot of the article. --gakon5 22:05, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

Same here about him being created in SSBM. He made later appearances in Game & Watch Gallery 4 and cameos in games like WarioWare: Twisted! And the Game & Watch series is not a series of games. It's more of a generation of games, like NES games or SNES games. He's an amalgamation of Game & Watch characters that looked alike (Ball protagonist, Parachute protagonist) and others that didn't (Greenhouse protagonist, Flagman protagonist). Nidorino 07:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to tidy things up a bit, but as for the cartoon, the name of the creator in a google search returns this page and no else. After wiki'ing the voice actors, I came across Peter Cullen, who apparently did voice acting in something called "Saturday Supercade," which featured other Nintendo characters, perhaps this cartoon was part of that?

Possibly, although G&W sort of went through a "rise and fall" sort of thing; like he pretty much disappeared in the gaming world after other consoles came out, and then he reappeared in SSBM. I don't think I ever reffered to the G&W guys as Nintendo characters, although they pretty much are.

Here's what we should do, maybe: start off with some stuff about the old G&W games, then a section on SSBM, and then a small section on the cartoon; un-tag the article and un-stub it.. and life is good. --gakon⁵ (talk)

Could we possibly, please, add in a slight note in the SSBM section on how the heck you play this guy? Not a strategy guide or anything, just a couple lines on his strengths and weaknesses like was done with the Link article. I'd do it, but the only thing I've been able to figure out is to do his trampoline bounce over and over again while drunkenly yelling "BOING" and laughing like a manic. --Myrkabah

CONS: Light Laggy moves Relatively slow running and walking speeds Several moves that are almost useless or highly situational Can be chain thrown Probably worst shield in the game -credit to kitfox

PROS: Powerful Throws are excellent set ups Great recovery Very cool Useful air attacks Great wavedash to make up for shield Good priority Decent CC, and CCC

oh ya can anyone tell me waht the heck his foward air attack is? what game did that come out of?

It's a credit card,& I don't know whare it came from.--DarkHero 23:51, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] To Do List

Here's what I think the article's layout should look like:

• For the beginning, a part about G&W and the G&W character, and how he was given that name,
• then a section on his character in SSBM, as well as his B button moves possibly,
• then a small section on the cartoon he was in, minus the episode listing and credits. Tho we need a little more intel on this subject possibly.

Just my thoughts on how we might go about cleaning up this article. BTW I'ma remove that list of credits, and maybe the episode listing, as it just seems out of place. --gakon⁵ (talk)

[edit] Spoiler Warning

Is how to unlock Mr. G+W considered a spoiler? --gakon⁵ (talk)

[edit] That was only a rumor

It has not been officially confirmed that G&W will not be in SSBB. It is likely that rumor was false. Please do not put up any speculation like that in the future.

Thanks for saying that. I was just about to put something in the discussion about MG&W's removal. 70.111.78.133 01:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SSBM moveset

We really don't need that. Wikipedia isn't a player's guide, and a list of button combos for a video game isn't encyclopedic. I didn't completely delete that section, but I hid it in comment tags... Powerslave (talk-contribs) 02:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
