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.When he reaches the other side,he must pass the bomb 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. Fields of Gashapon
The ones on the right are actually the "Gacha" machines by Yujin. The design is more appealing too. I just think of these particular machines as being my stereotypical toy capsule dispenser.
