'''Octopus''' ({{ja|オクトパス|Okutopasu}}, ''Octopus'') is [[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s [[Final Smash]] which is based on the [[nintendowiki:Octopus|''Game & Watch'' game of the same name]]. In the attack, Mr. G&W transforms into a large octopus, the same color as the Mr. Game & Watch being played, which float-crawls freely (quite slowly) through the stage.
 
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
The Octopus makes its first appearance in ''Brawl''. Even though the Octopus appears to float, it still requires terrain in order to move, which results in a [[self-destruct]] if it falls off the stage, although it can jump and double-jump a small bit. The Octopus has unlimited [[swim]] time, and is unaffected by the current of moving water in stages such as [[Jungle Japes]]. The Octopus is also unaffected by stage hazards such as Klaptraps (on Jungle Japes) and the Fish (on Summit). Out of its eight legs (one of which cannot be seen), four of them can extend to about 7 times their length. Normally, only the body will damage the opponents, but if the tentacles are extended then the tips of the tentacles will damage opponents until they withdraw. The tentacles in the back deal less damage than the ones in the front, which can be a problem since the Octopus can't turn around. Touching the G&W Octopus causes 16% of damage. The Final Smash lasts about 17 seconds. Whilst activated, most of the screen fades slightly (causing the screen to somewhat resemble a Game & Watch's white background) and a strange noise is heard. It is interesting to note that the Octopus is not affected by [[slow motion]] effects.
 
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Octopus returns as Mr. Game & Watch's Final Smash in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. It appears to act similarly to its appearance in ''Brawl'', but its damage output has been nerfed. Its appearance is mostly unchanged from ''Brawl'', though the outline has changed color, matching the fluctuating colors of the [[Smash Ball]].

;Octopus
:''Mr. Game & Watch's Final Smash. He turns into the huge cephalopod that made its debut in the Game & Watch game Octopus. Of course, you can damage enemies by running into them, but you can do more damage by pressing the attack button to extend four arms and launch foes. In the original Octopus game, you had to avoid the octopus while salvaging treasure from the sea.''
 
===In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''===
:''The Game & Watch title Octopus featured a hero collecting treasure while avoiding a bothersome giant octopus's tentacles. Activate Mr. Game & Watch's Final Smash to transform into that octopus! Ram into opponents, and use the attack button to extend the tentacles. The only thing you can't do is change the direction you're facing.''

==Origin==
[[File:OctopusOrigin.jpg|thumb|An image of the ''Octopus'' Game & Watch.]]
''Octopus'' was a ''[[Game & Watch]]'' game where three treasure hunting divers avoided a giant octopus guarding a sunken pirate ship and collected its sunken treasure. If one of the divers got caught by the octopus, the next diver would come down and substitute. The octopus would keep watch over the ship until all of the divers were caught. Mr. Game & Watch's [[up smash]] also originates from ''Octopus'', where he uses his diver's helmet to headbutt his opponents.
