Hey guys
I was looking through the USA Manual, and I noticed that the bottom screen of the over world looks different than the official one. Is the manual showing beta pictures of NSMB?

It's very possible. Manuals often have screenshots from beta versions of the game. They must start making the manual early and just never change the screenshots.

Yes they are. IIRC, there is a pic in the manual that shows a beta bottom screen, the one that has 3 items to store, and a beta design of the progress path.

Also that pic looks interesting, as it has the final biomes of the worlds for the icons.

It's true... they make the manual before development is done sometimes. I used to work at the company that made the Nintendo Power Strategy Guides, and sometimes we did manuals. We didn't do this manual though! We DID do the Nintendo Power guide for NSMB. You can even find my name in the credits in the front flap

I wonder, did you ever saw a beta element? IIRC, the Japanese guide for the legend of zelda NES had a beta artwork of an enemy and a german strategy guide from Donkey Kong 64(I think...) had an unused character in the guide.

It was Donkey Kong Country 2, and his damn name was Mr.X
I searched him 2 years long, seriously my half life took searching for this guy, I never found him...

tried everything, beating in a very fast time, no dying, no partner change... etc..
Damn you Nintendo!

I did that for the whole "L is Real 2401" Easter egg in SM64, I spent 3 years following a trail of youtube hoaxes, but in the end at least I found out what it meant. And the Zombie-like Luigi in the beta Luigi's Mansion trailer. I have a serious love/hate relationship with beta elements.

Hmmmmmm Nintendo makes manuals before the final product like with the SM64DS's manual look some pages through and you will find a unused purple bunny...

Sorry for the bump, but can someone post a high-quality image (photo or scan) of both screens, not just the bottom one?

And maybe others, if there are other pre-release screenshots apart from that one?

In SM64DS Manual it shows a purple rabbit! I heard about the Waluigi rumors. So Waluigi was in the game?
