Mr. Game & Watch is unlocked by clearing Target Test with all twenty four other characters, beating classic and adventure with all characters (starters and unlockables) or, alternatively, by playing 1,000 VS. Matches (making him the yet hardest unlockable character in the whole series).

Clearing Classic Mode with Mr. Game & Watch will unlock Flat Zone, a level that takes place in a giant Game & Watch handheld.
