"Wally Bear and the NO! Gang" is an educational Nintendo Entertainment System game that teaches children to say no to harmful drugs like tobacco, alcohol and marijuana. It is notable for being one of the many NES games that were not licensed by Nintendo, most likely because the game's content did not comply with Nintendo's Content Guidelines that were in power at the time of the game's release. The game was designed in cooperation with the American Medical Association and the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Informationcite news | work = USA Today | title = Video game gives kids 'Bear'-able drug lesson | date = July 22, 1991 | author = Mike Snider] . Like in most early platform games, even getting hit once meant losing a "chance" to beat the game.

The game was originally going to be called "Wally Bear and the Just Say No Gang", but this phrase had been trademarked by Nancy Reagan. The Wally Bear Hotline provided by this game, 1-800-HI-WALLY, was still active as of 2006. However, it was finally disconnected by October 2007; 15 years after the game was released.
