*Conceptually, Mr. Game & Watch is the only 2D playable character in the ''Smash Bros.'' series. However, in the technical sense, he is composed of a 3D model just like all other characters; this model is flattened along one axis to provide the illusion he is 2D. This flattening effect is applied to other characters in 2D stages such as [[Flat Zone]] and [[Pac-Land]]. The 2D illusion is broken somewhat when Mr. Game & Watch becomes [[metal]], is a [[false character]], is covered in {{b|ink|status}}, or if the Z-axis glitch is performed on him | *Conceptually, Mr. Game & Watch is the only 2D playable character in the ''Smash Bros.'' series.

**Although the ''Game & Watch'' was first released in 1980, Mr. Game & Watch didn't conceptually exist until ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. This has led to some debate over whether or not Mr. Game & Watch should be considered the same entity as the playable characters from the original ''Game & Watch'' handhelds. | **Although the ''Game & Watch'' was first released in 1980, Mr. Game & Watch didn't conceptually exist until ''[[Super Smash Bros.
