Mr. Game and Watch is the mascot of Game and Watch games and the Game and Watch handheld systems. Despite this however Mr. Game and Watch didn't appear in any of the original Game and Watch games instead featuring a variety of nameless characters. Mr. Game in Watch is a combination of all of these characters, originally designed to function as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. His appearance seems to be based off of the generic characters that appeared in the Game and Watch games Fire and Parachute. Since he is made of Shadow Bugs it's possible that his species is some sort of Super Shadow Bug.
