*** The Gallery Corner only had the unplayable demos, which would become the Museum from 2 onward.

** For those interested into game coding, ''VideoGame/WarioLandII'' uses the ''Game Boy Gallery'' version of ''Flagman'' as the basis for one of the minigames, including the Super Game Boy border.

* RevisitingTheRoots: The Modern versions revisit Mario's original role as TheEveryman working a variety of odd jobs (particularly games he originally starred in, such as ''Mario Bros.'' and ''Mario's Cement Factory'')
, but with the supporting character and elements he's accumulated since.

* RevisitingTheRoots: The Modern versions revisit Mario's original role as TheEveryman (particularly games he originally starred in, such as ''Mario Bros.'' and ''Mario's Cement Factory'', but with the supporting character and elements he's accumulated since.

* ExiledFromContinuity: Legal reasons example; while the games in the series reference almost every ''Game and Watch'' in some form, the games based on ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}, WesternAnimation/Mickey Mouse and [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy]] aren't so much as referenced to exist at any point.

*** The Gallery Corner only had the non-playable demos, which would become the Museum from 2 onward.

*** Subverted in ''Vermin'' where you control Yoshi who must defend his eggs against Fly Guys, Paratroopas and Boos instead of vermin. A Monty Mole will allow Yoshi to clear a miss by giving him a heart.

*** Also subverted in ''Egg''. Instead of catching eggs laid by hens, Yoshi must catch cookies on a conveyor belt. If he eats enough of a type of cookie at the right temperature, he will lay an egg.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The classic versions of Fire Attack remove {{The Savage Indian}}s' headdresses, making them look more like Wild West outlaws.

* GaidenGame: The first official game in the series is ''Game Boy Gallery'' which was only launched into [[NoExportForYou UK and Australian markets]] in 1994. It includes Ball, Manhole, Vermin, Flagman and Mario's Cement Factory (renamed to just Cement Factory). The games are simply the classic variants with updated visuals, there are no Mario characters or references whatsoever and it noticeably lacks features that made the rest of the series more enjoyable (suspend play, unlockables, score saving etc.). The only reason it can be considered part of the series at all is that Australia used ''Game Boy Gallery'' as its MarketBasedTitle for all future ''Game & Watch Galley'' releases.

* SongsInTheKeyOfPanic: In Modern versions of the games, the music will get faster as your points get closer and closer to a hundred. They go back to a slower tempo once you get those next hundred points.

* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: In ''4'', you get a star for playing each mode of ''Donkey Kong 3'' and ''Boxing'' regardless of the outcome.

*** The new Fire Attack involves Wario protecting a giant golden statue of himself from being blown up by Bullet Bills and Bob-ombs — as opposed to a Cowboy protecting a wooden fort from being burned down by Native Americans.

*** In ''Vermin'', you control Yoshi who must defend his eggs against Fly Guys, Paratroopas and Boos instead of vermin. Oddly enough, a Monty Mole will allow Yoshi to clear a miss by giving him a heart.

*** Subverted in ''Egg''. Instead of catching eggs laid by hens, Yoshi must catch cookies on a conveyor belt. If he eats enough of a type of cookie at the right temperature, he will lay an egg.

** The games no longer have watch or alarm functions. [[CaptainObvious But you probably already knew that]].

** The first game, compared to later releases.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: In the modern versions of Chef, you can feed burnt foods to Yoshi. Doing so will not result in a miss, but he will either lose his egg or shrink down to baby-sized depending on his condition. Strangely enough, you get a point for doing this.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Game Boy Gallery'' had no distinction between Modern and Classic modes and instead each game had a hybrid of the two future modes for its games. The games also featured neither the Game & Watch men nor the ''Mario'' cast and instead featured a [[LivingToys living marionette]] as the sole playable character.

* MarketBasedTitle: ''Game & Watch Gallery'' and the two games that follow it are known as ''Game Boy Gallery 2'', ''Game Boy Gallery 3'', and ''Game Boy Gallery 4'' in Europe and Australia. ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' is known as ''Game & Watch Gallery Advance'' in those regions.

* AnachronismStew: [[spoiler: The Cast Credits in 4 feature the Modern and Classic characters interacting with each other]].

** For those interested into game coding, ''Wario Land II'' uses the ''Game Boy Gallery'' version of ''Flagman'' as the basis for one of the minigames, including the Super Game Boy border.

* CanonImmigrant: ''4'', released in 2002, officially adopts the Mr. Game & Watch design used in ''Melee''.
