The 1986 Famicom Disk System manual for is BEAUTIFUL and has really fun drawings of Simon Belmont all throughout. I combined some in one image for easy viewing.

The NES manual is a disgrace. Doesn't mention Simon's name or story, and has no pics of him.

The 1993 Famicom manual for "Kirby's Adventure" has some really awesome hand-colored sketches. The NES manual on the other hand has much more sanitized versions of same art (see for yourself in next tweet in this thread!)

Which style do you prefer?

The original 1991 Japanese game manual was packed with really delightful color illustrations that were totally absent from the manuals in other regions.

Here's a few pages introducing some of Eggman's robots.

Unique magazine review art for the European release of Super Mario Bros. 3 in August 1991 (almost 3 years after it came out in Japan, and 18 months after NA). Some look based on Mario 2/USA.

Scored an overall rating of 98%.

Let's never forget that in 2005 and Co. were playable in a couple of great EA Sports games on the - NBA Street V3 and SSX On Tour.

In Japan, EA leaned into this heavily and renamed the games "NBA Street V3: Dunk with Mario" & "SSX On Tour with Mario"

Awesome 800 (and little sibling 400) poster art.

I'm glad to see Grandma in the first image into gaming. Let's assume she was 67 at the time this was printed. That would make her 107! I hope she's still out there wrecking all dem noobs to this day.
