Game Boy Gallery

Game Boy Gallery is the extremely obscure first entry in the Game & Watch Gallery series, but most wouldn't know since it was only released in the UK, Sweden and Australia for some reason. It features neither Mr. Game & Watch nor the Mario cast of the later games, instead opting for a bunch of generic kids (even in its version of Mario's Cement Factory, bizarrely enough). It was also one of the first Super Game Boy compatible games.

Nintendo wouldn't completely forget about it, however. Three years later, its version of Flagman would be the base of the Flagman DD minigame in Wario Land II.

Two banners spelling CRUSH!. The original Ball would display the message CRUSH! if the player would fail to catch their balls.
