Super Mario World Guides

[Anonymous No.6573562]

So some years ago someone made some nice scans of a Super Mario World Japanese guidebooks. However I checked the archives and the downloads were dead. Does anyone have them?

I doubt any of these old /vr/ users are still browsing here.
It was certainly a better time.

Oh hey

I can get the Yoshi Island guidebook for 100 yen here if someone actually wants it, its mint condition

I have them, but I'm not at home. If no one has uploaded them by the time I return, I will.

Thank you! This is really important stuff. It's a bad idea to just throw things onto a file uploader since they all die.

[Anonymous No.6574396]

>>6574121

Go for it. How about scanning it yourself? I would imagine that they're cheap since they're not rare but as far as I can tell no one's scanned them. Nintendies are only nostalgic for Western nintendo releases.

Thank you! What format are these in? PDF image folder? etc?

Yep! I browse /vr/ every day but only ever kept namefagging when it was relevant.

Have you scanned anything else? Do you have an archive internet account?

[Anonymous No.6575293]

>>6575225
That's good to know. You did God's work scanning those. Can't thank you enough!

[scanbro No.6575334]

>>6575249
>Have you scanned anything else?
Some minor things but nothing as large as these.
>Do you have an archive internet account?
Nope. We briefly talked about submitting to archive.org in an earlier thread but I never got around doing it.

>>6575293
>That's good to know. You did God's work scanning those. Can't thank you enough!
It was a fun project all around and I really liked doing it. I did all of the work on a very beefy computer and a very high grade scanner I had at my then-workplace. Sadly I've switched jobs since and no longer have access to either so that's a shame.

Why would you need a guild for this? It's piss easy

No one needs one, Japanese guide books are just really cool. They’re nothing like strategy guides we get here. They have tons of artwork and other details about the game. They’re great to look through even if you don’t understand Japanese.

>dude why would you ever want unique pieces of history including exclusive art work, developer interviews, background information, addictional comics, story background, etc. Just play the game brah!

I think he meant overall. Like, why would someone need a guide book for SMW. Well I can only say I had one as a kid as well, not with maps and stuff, just one to two pages per level that quickly say where the secrets are.

[Anonymous No.6577447]

>why would a game for children with many secrets require a guide?

Can you not think for yourself? I only heard about the Secret world from the school yard.

Very cool. Full scans of these guides (and the Super Mario Collection/All-Stars Shogakukan guide) used to be publicly available on Imgur, but when the MarioWiki started using these scans to, y'know, make their wiki the best it can, the uploader (a former member himself) sperged the fuck out and made their entire gallery private. This is something I thought would be lost to the internet for a long time. Thank you.

Related question: does anyone have the a copy of the Zelda no Densetsu: Kamigami no Triforce/The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Shogakukan guides? zeldalegends.net had them as I recall, but they seem to be down last I checked. I would very much appreciate the two halves of that guide, and maybe what other guides were available on the website if at all possible (Four Swords+/Adventures might've been one of them too). Not interested in the ones already preserved by Zelda Dungeon's gallery.

I think >>6577238 was just kidding, I found his post funny, but in case you were serious, yeah as others said it's because of the effort put into the art design of the book, and also, actually, this: >>6577447
People take SMW's secrets for granted now, of course, but I remember as a kid, every piece of secret I could find on magazines about SMW was valuable. Some stuff I did find on my own (such as the first star road exit on the secret ghost house, it took me a while to find though, but it felt so good), but some other stuff I couldn't find on my own and magazines helped me with that, for example the green switch palace.
One thing that blew my mind when I first browsed through this APE guide, back when scanbro first posted it, is that it included a tip on how to get to the secret exit to Soda Lake, by using a Yoshi, sacrifice him, and jump under the goalpost platform.
To be fair, I probably never thought about that as a kid because getting there with Yoshi is unlikely: they give you the wings bonus stage in the middle of the level if you're using Yoshi, and then getting there to the end with all these chainsaws and ropes is a bit hard with Yoshi, you need to calculate well your jumps to bounce on the moving chainsaws.
But anyway I'm proud of my young self for being able to get to that secret exit by just using the cape, probably one of the hardest stunts to pull off in SMW.

old club nintendo had some soulful design

[Anonymous No.6581379]

That company APE was created by Shigesato Itoi. Good stuff.

[Anonymous No.6581623]

Anyone got this?

It was also associated with HAL labs.
APE and HAL are both referencing 2001 a space odyssey

[Anonymous No.6582626]

club nintendo, (well, a review-less soulless nintendo advertising husk of what it once was, its amount of pages per issue literally halved from 2013 to 2015) made its last issue in feb. 2019 :(
i will never forgive the gaming industry for killing off its magazines

[Anonymous No.6585059]

I'm...gonna need an explanation.
