A manhole or maintenance hole is the top opening to an underground utility vault used to house an access point for making connections or performing maintenance on underground and buried public utility and other services including sewers, telephone, electricity, storm drains and gas. It is protected by a manhole cover, a (usually metal) plug designed to prevent accidental or unauthorized access to the manhole. The reason most manhole covers are circular is that the round cover cannot fall into its own hole (the maximum diagonal distance is the same as the diameter, unlike rectangular covers where the diagonal distance is greater than the maximum length or width).
Manhole is a game in the Game & Watch series, in which the player must close the manholes before the pedestrians fall through into the sewers. Manhole first appered as a remake on Gameboy Gallery in 1994. A port of this game was included with Nintendo's e-reader for the Game Boy Advance.
