History Pantheon / Gaming

*** However, more information popped up from Glitchy's homeworld that greatly changed things. It's been revealed that the [=SMG4=] Mario ''is'' the real Mario of that world. However, once Glitchy landed his mind, alongside the other residents, got corrupted and turned into extremely messed up versions of themselves, with Glitchy keeping them this way to make videos of them. This has left the entire Mushroom Kingdom to consider banning them wholesale, but they also do know that Glitchy isn't being intentionally malicious. Seeing how that once dormant side is still there after the Nintendo from Glitchy's homeworld tried to copyright and DMCA everything ([[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Don't ask]]), Mario is looking into a way to separate the two sides of these Nintendo characters, knowing that Glitchy's Mario still has managed to gain genuine friends, like Meggy, and wanting these memories and friendships to stay. For now, whenever the topic of Glitchy or his Mario pops up, the real Mario and his universe are just unnerved by them.

* He sees [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 Keanue Reeves as a national treasure]], and he was ecstatic to see various gods that look similar to him in Ted "Theodore" Logan, Neo, John Wick and even Constantine.

!The Four Avatars of Gaming

[[folder:Mr. Game & Watch]]
'''[[Platform/GameAndWatch Mr. Game & Watch]], Avatar of {{Hammerspace}}''' ([[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Master of Two Dimensions, Number 26]], Mr. G&W, The secret guy)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrgameandwatch.png]]
* Intermediate God (Subspace Army created from him can range from Demigod to Intermediate; Greater God as Duon)
* Symbol: Mr. Game & Watch's face; alternatively, his bell
* Theme Music: [[https://youtu.be/y_OTv8rbx7g Flat Zone]] and [[https://youtu.be/DnPBLycRWfY Flat Zone 2]]
* Alignment: TrueNeutral
* Portfolio: {{Hammerspace}}, [[ImprovisedWeapon Use of everything From Torches to Turtles to Fish to Buckets of Oil and Everything In Between]], {{Flat Character}}s ([[PaperPeople literally]]), {{Secret Character}}s, {{Hyperspace Mallet}}s
* Domains: Darkness (he ''is'' monochrome, after all), the 2D realm
* Allies: All ascended deities who were born in 2-D gaming, most famously Mario, [[Pantheon/MultiWieldingWeapons Li]][[Pantheon/HeroicRoles nk]], and [[Pantheon/GenderSexMiscellaneous Samus]] [[Pantheon/CharacterReveals Aran]], Pac-Man, [[Pantheon/{{Fanbase}} 9-volt and 18-volt]], [[Pantheon/{{Anger}} Cranky Kong]], [[Pantheon/FormsOfMedia Henry Stickmin]], [[Pantheon/ReligiousFigures Bendy]]
* Enemies: ''[[Pantheon/{{Voices}} Tabuu]], [[Pantheon/OrderAndChaos Galeem and Dharkon]]''
* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/SingularSymbolism Void Termina]]
* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/TechnologicalExperts Symmetra]]
* Before Mario, Donkey Kong, but just after Nintendo's career of creating playing cards, there was Mr. Game And Watch. A standard jack of all trades, appearing on handheld games tasked to do various tasks to increase points. One of the very first games of all time, it was only a matter of time before he finally officially ascended, the question is for what? Upon seeing how he keeps spawning items to use in battle from his body for [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Master Hand's Tournaments]], it was decided to give him the title of {{Hammerspace}}.
* Mr. Game & Watch spends much of his time trying to catch up to Tabuu and get his revenge for Tabuu making him the [[ThatOneBoss worst boss ever]].
** While he did get angry at Galeem and Dharkon for ascending for what they did before, he does admit he was happy to find somebody take control of Tabuu. He now just hopes to set up a situation where he can force Tabuu to take part in a [[ThatOneLevel agonizing fight against several spirits]].
* Likes to show off his pandimensional Mismatched Sock Collection, made up of every sock in all of time and space that has ever been lost in the wash. Most are either indifferent or confused.
* Whatever you do, do NOT mess with this guy. Besides being able to wield all Hyperspace Mallets and control all [[TelescopingRobot robotic implements that are too big to fit into a robot's body]], he also has many, ''many'', favors from Mario, Link, Sonic, Pit, all who gained their greatness in Nintendo, Deadpool, (G&W taught Deadpool a number of fourth wall weaknesses), and [[Pantheon/InvestigativeWork Solid Snake]]. You have been warned. If you don't want in over your head, and just want to see Spongebob vs. Deadpool, you can ask him.
* It's possible that if he really wanted to, Game & Watch could cash in all his favors, battle [[Pantheon/{{Superheroism}} Batman]] for the title of God of Preparations, and win, proving himself one of the most powerful beings under the Main House.
* Mr. Game & Watch is looked up to by the [[Pantheon/{{Neptunia}} CPU Candidates]] because they also represent handheld gaming, seeing him as the father of not only gaming, but handheld gaming.
* In a mutual respecting relationship, 9-volt and 18-volt are both {{fanboy}}s of him, and he in return absolutely adores the idea of them using his games along with other older deities for his microgames. It's possible that the three of them may have been the reason [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Pit may have gotten a third adventure]], as well as his inclusion in the third smash game. As such, Mr. Game & Watch often tasks the duo to make microgames based on any old Nintendo IP in hopes of increasing awareness of them.
** He's also on good terms with Cranky Kong for being [[WhenIWasYourAge from when games were actually good and not newfangled]]. It also helps that he is actually older than Cranky Kong.
* Due to being in 2 dimensions, he can only be seen when looking directly at his side. If you look right down in front of him, he appears as a thin piece of black paper. This allows him to hide in cracks or even just be HiddenInPlainSight. He has been compiling a list of various deities secrets, possibly to rack up even ''MORE '' favors from deities.
** During one of his times hiding, he accidentally bumped into another stick figure; Henry Stickmin. On both of their ends, they're happy to find out they're not the only stick people in the Pantheon and have engaged in multiple Hide and Seek games to hone in their stealth. The longest streak was 4 hours, 47 minutes and 12 seconds when Henry found Mr. Game & Watch posing on a roadside advertisement for a [[Pantheon/BossFightsAToM DJ Grooves]] movie being replaced by the Conductor in his team stapling their own advertisement on top of him. He ended up forcing him out of the stapled-on advertisement and onto Henry.
* [[https://youtu.be/IHPxNY_0tAA He ended up crossing paths with Bendy within the Dancing Devil's own ink studio.]] After finding a mutual love for bell ringing, the two have started to accompany many bands and Christmas carolers to join in on their tunes with their bells. Although, some deities will easily get annoyed and two them to shut up.
* Due to a certain...[[https://www.polygon.com/2018/11/7/18071936/super-smash-bros-ultimate-mr-game-watch-racist-move accident involving a move from Smash Bros]], he has been accused of being racist and as such, has been scrutinized by Indian deities, like Symmetra.
* For the record, it's spelled Game '''&''' Watch. Not Game and Watch. Game & Watch.
