Mario's Cement Factory is a 1983 Game & Watch game. It was first released for the Tabletop, and a Widescreen version soon followed.

Information

In this game, the player controlled Mario in maintaining a cement factory. There were two platforms, each containing two containers that could each hold up to three loads of cement. Mario had to use levers to pump cement down to lower platforms (and eventually into a cement truck beneath the second level) without overloading any of the containers. To go back and forth between the the containers, Mario also had to cross an area of rising and falling platforms.

Rereleases

• The game appeared in Gameboy Gallery as Cement Factory, with a generic character replacing Mario.
• In 1998, Mario's Cement Factory was released in the Mini-Classics set of key-chain bound Game & Watch games.
• Mario's Cement Factory was also included on Game & Watch Gallery 4. This game contained both the original "Classic" version and a new "Modern" version.
  • The Modern version made the cement factory into a cookie factory where Mario prepared cookies that were either given to Toad or fed to Yoshi. Another obstacle was added in the form of Boos, which would sometimes occupy space in one of the containers until they were pumped out.
• Mario's Cement Factory was released for the DSi as downloadable DSiWare.
