That makes me think of Tales of Symphonia, which in my mind is kind of the king of those.
That was a joke.

... OH MY PORK ! ALL THOSE UNUSED-YET ARTWORKS !!!

Too bad I don't live in America and my dad would never want to import something from there. ;_;
But, heh, I know basically everything about Mario, his adventures, his personnality, his psychology, his friends, and his world. But those artworks are freaking beautiful.

I especially like the screenshot caption on page 23.
*checks*

Wow. I have no idea how I missed that. Or the people that wrote this thing for that matter.

I'd also like to point out that the list of power-ups on pages 10 & 11 has FLUDD and the Small Heart from SMB2 (which is a bit of a stretch in my opinion), but does not mention the Wing Cap, Metal Cap or Vanish Cap.

I didn't notice it either. For the curious, it's beneath a shot of Raccoon Mario traversing an ice level, and reads:

Somebody forgot to replace their lorem ipsum.
That was a joke.

What?  Pic, please.

Also, I took a brief glance at the magazine at a local F.Y.E., and it didn't quite seem worth the ~$15 investment.

I expected no less. Well, I expected a little more than dummy text and Photoshopped character art, but that was clearly gratuitous.

I read the magazine and one thing they forgot was the Nintendo Game Watch. That was my first intro to Mario. How can Ninenteo miss that. Horrible!!!!!

Well, the first thing to remember is that they're not Nintendo.

New censor suggestion: Change all utterances of "Nintendo" to "Ninenteo".

Now I wish I still subscribed to Nintendo Power.

I bought it as quick as possible. A quality guide, I just wish it had more info.
