fcgamer | 4,723 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Thought I'd share this with you guys, anyone recognise it, or is it an original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 It's old and original, but I'm guessing some kind of collection or reprint perhaps. The yellow dude looks like Disk-kun the little mascot of the Famicom Disk System which SMB1 and the (lost levels) SMB2 came out on. But then you also have all these panels about the upcoming SMB3 clearly which is well post FDS and it never came out on that format either as it couldn't handle it. Top of the third image with the big purple text, below that 3M cart that info there is about the upcoming release of SMB3 in October, the last box or two has the princess a toy story and waiting so it's like a teaser (early so not finalized maybe) of what to expect with the game when it comes out months later in October. Got a date on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title roughly translates to "How to use the official guide map - manga" It looks like it was part of a guide for Super Mario USA (The US version of SMB2, on Famicom). Here are some links I found: https://twitter.com/blacktangent/status/1145294913589825537 https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w408820689 https://twitter.com/Arc_Hound/status/1439150667558494208 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 That's exactly what it is. Looks like various panels talk about how to use the guide, how many worlds and levels under those there are, a section about the monsters and their names/info, another piece about why they use english words like JUMP and so on. Kind of handy really if you can read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,933 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Ok, that can not be unseen. No amount of the patented Johnson's Eye Bleach will take that one away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
