Great GameNWatch classic! Avoid the octopus, and bring what you got to the boat! Octopus was a handheld Game & Watch system released on July 16, 1981 (product number: OC-22). It was released in the widescreen version. The object of the game is to get the sunken ship treasure without getting caught by the octopus. In the United Kingdom this game was renamed Mysteries of the Sea and also Mysteries of the Deep. In the game the player must aim whose diver under water by jumping off the side of a boat and walking under water. Once under water the player must avoid getting caught by an octopus. If the octopus touches the player, who will lose a life. The game is over once the player loses all lives. If the player manages to avoid the octopus, who will get to a sunken ship with a treasure chest. The player can take portions of treasure for a point each. Three additional points are awarded for again evading the octopus and resurfacing back on the player boat. Additional lives can be gained if needed at 200 and 500 points. The game gets quicker as it progresses. In octopus, a game A and B is shown. If the player picks game A, the game moves lazier and is easier, but if the player picks game B, the octopus moves much quicker and there are more hazards. Octopus was well received. The game is considered to be one of the most complex Game & Watch games ever created. The game Octopus was re-released for the Gameboy in the game Game & Watch Gallery. It was also re-released for the Game & Watch Gallery 4, and for the Game & Watch Collection 2. The octopus from Octopus also makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When Mr. Game & Watch gets the smash ball, he turns into the octopus and starts KO-ing opponents with his tentacles. There is also a move in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl where Mr. Game and Watch headbutts with a helmet from Octopus.
