Game and Watch: Mario the Juggler - Widescreen

Mario the Juggler (1991, MB-108) is a game for the Game & Watch that was released in 1991. It is the last Game & Watch handheld. In the game, you control Mario as he juggles various objects around. The game resembles the very first Game & Watch game, simply known as Ball.

Gameplay
In Game A, Mario juggles a heart, a star and a bomb at the same time. Use the left and right buttons to use Mario's hands to catch the objects and return them up into the air. The game starts slowly, but picks up speed as it progresses. One point is awarded every time you catch an object.  In Game B, there is also a heart to juggle, making four objects. Three missed catches brings an end to the game, but in Game A you can reclaim a miss by scoring 300, 1,300 and 2,300. In Game B, this is just 3,000.


Rarity
One of the rarest, and sought after by collectors as it was the last game manufactured. 250,000 units were produced.
