The compilation consists of four popular titles from the Game & Watch Series, each with a "Classic" and "Modern" version of each game: Octopus: Collects as much treasure as your bag can hold, while avoiding the octopus tentacles that continually swing around you.
In the "Modern" version, Mario becomes the diver, and as he collects more treasure, his bag becomes heavier, making it harder to return to the surface.
Mario can also delay the octopus tentacles by throwing treasure at them.
Fire: Position your net to catch the falling people jumping from the burning building.
The "Modern" version has Mario and Luigi rescuing Toad, Yoshi and Donkey Kong Jr. from Princess Peach's Castle.
Each falling character has different weights and falling patterns.
Manhole: The player must cover the holes to keep the continually walking people from falling through the manholes and into the sewers.
In the "Modern" version, Yoshi must use his tongue to keep Mario, Toad and Donkey Kong Jr. from falling thought the hole, each character having different speeds and patterns.
Oil Panic: The player must collect the dripping blobs of oil before they slip past and ruin everything.
The "Modern" version has Bowser dropping oil blobs at Mario, who has to catch the oil and dump it over to Yoshi before the Koopa King gets the best of Mario.
Each mode (Classic and Modern) has two difficulties: Easy and Hard.
The higher score a player gets in each version, new unlockable bonuses will become available via the "Gallery Corner".
These bonuses include release dates, pictures and animations which tell in greater detail the history behind Gunpei Yokoi's portable creations.
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.
Gamevaro tracks Game & Watch Gallery 3 for Game Boy Color with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Game & Watch Gallery 3 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBC release dates back to 2000.
