Not as cool as the EarthBound guide but if you change the last part of the link (the file name) to one of the below entries, you can get a PDF of the instructions manual for the game. Seems like it's only for games on Virtual Console.

Found these codes on a ROM site.

CLV-P-SAAAE = Super Mario World
CLV-P-SAABE = F-Zero
CLV-P-SAAEE = Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past
CLV-P-SAAFE = Super Mario Kart
CLV-P-SAAHE = Super Metroid
CLV-P-SAAJE = EarthBound
CLV-P-SAAKE = Kirby's Dream Course
CLV-P-SAALE = Donkey Kong Country
CLV-P-SAAQE = Kirby Super Star
CLV-P-SAAXE = Super Punch-Out!!
CLV-P-SABCE = Mega Man X
CLV-P-SABDE = Super Ghouls'n Ghosts
CLV-P-SABHE = Street Fighter II Turbo
CLV-P-SABQE = Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars
CLV-P-SABRE = Secret of Mana
CLV-P-SABTE = Final Fantasy III
CLV-P-SACBE = Super Castlevania IV
CLV-P-SACCE = Contra III - The Alien Wars
CLV-P-SADGE = Star Fox
CLV-P-SADJE = Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island
Thanks for the info guys, got lots of these physical but no manuals/boxes, had no idea. You got me going on a tangent, here's more:

NES Classic: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/ma...index.html
Genesis Mini: https://manuals.sega.com/genesismini/
Mega Drive Mini: https://manuals.sega.com/megadrivemini/
Playstation Classic: https://asia.playstation.com/en-s...c/manuals/
you still have the scratch and sniff cards that came in the last page?
I pawned mine off 14+ years ago. biggest regret in my life.

I have this from the Internet Archives. I actually have the original in my my NES /SNES collection but I don't want to touch that because it might degrade the condition. That site also has all of the issues from Nintendo Power magazine. I already have almost all of these in paper in the basement since we subscribed since issue 1 and every time I suggested cancelling our subscription the kids screamed bloody murder. But those won't last forever .

Load this gem up every few years and play it. Love it and Mario RPG so much. Sucked we never saw 64 version.
Mario RPG is such an underrated classic. I played through it a few times on SNES and absolutely loved it. Would love to see a remastered version with updated models and graphics.

Was Ness garlicky smelling or was that just me? I think me and my brother eventually deduced he was supposed to smell like pizza or something. Now I want to see who won that contest.
I mailed mine in and got a Mach Pizza air freshener. Apparently the mystery smell was pizza.

I disagree. After seeing how franchises fared under 3D, I'd say a Mother 3D would have lost all its charm and felt like a downgrade. Just something about 16-bit that oozes pure awesome aesthetically.

Nice! Didn't even realize these were out there. Time to fire up the printer! Smilie And yes, it's a high-end production class printer, so I can basically replicate the repos out there even with square bind.

My question is, this doesn't paginate down to a proper book page count. IE: 135 isn't perfectly divisible by 4. Obviously the last page is an addition by Nintendo when releasing these, but that still leaves two extra pages beyond the original's 132 page count (When counting the Front & Back cover as each a page). What two pages have been added to the original?

I don't want to substitute in blanks, as that will throw off the lay-out and crossovers in some areas of the book.

Will definitely be producing several of those instruction manuals as well, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 3; weekend project here I come!!

Awwww, so many memories of my childhood with that game. I always wondered where the scratch and sniff cards were at, luckily I still have this guide and original box for the game, may have to go check it out.

It's crazy how everyone is posting everywhere that this pdf is new. It's been at this link for years since the SNES Classic release.

Awesome! I still have the hard copy w/the game. But I'll still download it, thanks!

I got the game for $5 at my local Walmart, brand new, many years ago. Little did I know, back then, that it would be my most favorite RPG of all time.

I remember buying Final Fantasy 1 and the first Castlevania in the bargain shelf for $10 at Toys R Us. A life time ago. Dang, That was our gamestop back then.
