Manhole (Game & Watch)
Manhole is a game that originally appeared on the Game & Watch. The game reappeared in Game & Watch Gallery and Game & Watch Gallery 4
Classic Version
The main character had to stop pedestrians from falling into holes that lead to the sewers below. To do this, he used a manhole cover, which filled in the holes long enough for the people to pass.
Modern Version
Mario, Toad and Donkey Kong Jr. are the pedestrians in this version, walking at different speeds, while Yoshi is the character the player controls. In this version, four manholes can stay up at once, unlike the original. The manholes can drop from characters stepping on them, causing the next pedestrian to fall if Yoshi does not act quickly. Yoshi can also hold a manhole in place to keep it from falling.
Super Smash Bros.
In the Flat Zone and Flat Zone 2 stages, the main character from Manhole appears, where his manhole cover can be used as a platform. Mr. Game & Watch also has a move where he flips a manhole cover in front of him, based on Manhole.
