More discoveries!
Was looking at G&W titles, and came across Tropical Fish, a single-screen release from 1985
In it, the not-named shopkeeper (or perhaps just a guy with a lot of goldfish) must shuttle hopping fish across from one set of aquariums to the other on the opposite side of the room. Very much like Fireman and other similar G&W titles. If any fish fall on the floor they get snatched up by the protagonist's hungry cat.
What's notable here, for us, is that the cat is named, and he is Alarm Cat, doubling as the game's alarm feature.
You know where else Alarm Cat shows up? Motherfucking Greenhouse! It's Stanley's cat!
Can we then infer that this unnamed protagonist of Tropical Fish is in fact Stanley, affecting a new job, as Mario often did in the early years?
I sure think so!
