Gameplay
Players gain points by clobbering moles that emerge from the ground. The moles are attempting to destroy the main character's garden, and it is the player's goal to make sure they don't do this. The player can accomplish this by moving the character via the left and right buttons.

Scoring
If the hammer is above the hole where a mole is about to surface, it will automatically smash the creature, thus rewarding the player with a point. Like Flagman and Ball, the speed of the game increases as the player progresses. If a mole makes it through the hole unscathed, it will result in a lost life for the player. After three moles get through, the game is over and the player must restart it.

Game A vs Game B
The only difference between Game A and Game B is the difficulty level. In Game A there are four hole from which the moles will emerge while in Game B the hole in the centre is used, racking that number up to five.

Trivia
- In the Super Smash Bros. series, Mr. Game & Watch's Down-Smash attack hits the ground with hammers from Vermin.
- In WarioWare Inc.: Mega Microgames, one of the mini-games is titled "Vermin", where the player has to whack moles, similar to the Game & Watch version
- In one of the industrial stages of Donkey Kong Country Returns, the Mr. Game & Watch from Vermin can be seen hammering steel girders in the background.
Rarity
About a million of these were manufactured, so more common that Flagman and Ball, but still rare because of its age.
