Mario's Bombs Away is a game for the Game & Watch released on November 10, 1983, and was one of the many games made for the Panorama line.
Gameplay
The game involved moving Mario, dressed in army fatigues, from one side of the screen to the other while avoiding fires from enemy torches or Mario's teammate, who carelessly tosses burning cigarettes into a stream of oil. Mario must carry a bomb from one end of the screen to the other, then pass it on to his friend when his friend's hands are down. After five bombs are passed, they will explode on the enemy, rewarding the player with bonus points. The player must be careful, however, because Mario's friend is unpredictable.
It was later re-released in its classic form in Game and Watch Gallery 4. It can be accessed after the player collects 100 stars.
