'''''Mario's Cement Factory''''' known as ''''Cement Factory'''' in the [[1995]] [[Game Boy]] game ''Game Boy Gallery'', is a [[Game & Watch]] game. Two versions of the game were produced: The first was for the Game & Watch Table Top released on April 28, 1983, and the second was a more conventional New Wide Screen Game & Watch that was released on June 16, 1983. ''Mario's Cement Factory'' was the first game in the Table Top series. The Table Top game resembles an arcade cabinet, and it is more colorful than the New Wide Screen game. In both versions, [[Mario]]'s mission in the cement factory is to open doors to prevent cement containers from overflowing. To get to the different containers, Mario has to jump onto moving [[platform]]s. The New Wide Screen version was rereleased as a [[Mini Classics]] game and is featured in the [[Museum|Gallery Corner]] in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]''. It is also featured as a [[minigame]] in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'' with a Classic version and an updated "Modern" version.

There are two drivers, each in a truck under a container. Mario earns a [[point]] each time he empties a load of cement from the upper hopper and two points each time he empties a load from the lower hopper. Each container can hold only three loads of cement. Allowing the containers to overflow causes cement to spill down onto the drivers, hurting them and giving Mario one miss. Falling off an [[lift|elevator]] platform also earns a miss, as well as touching the very top of the screen and getting crushed by an elevator platform, or touching the very bottom and getting shocked by the floor of the elevator. In all versions of the game, there is an area on the lowermost portion of the elevator that Mario can use to save himself from touching the very bottom and getting shocked. On the Table Top and ''Game Boy Gallery'' versions, there is a similar area on the uppermost portion of the elevator. This does not appear on any other version of the game. If Mario gets 300 points without any misses, the points will be worth double until he does get a miss. If he has any misses at said score, all misses will be cleared instead. When he receives three misses, the [[Game Over|game is over]].
