I don't know if this is of any importance, but I found a pretty noticeable error in the MKDS Instruction Booklet. On Page 09, where it's talking about mini-turbos, look at where the black info. box is. It reads: "Releas "R" to perfprm a mini-turbo." Of course, it should be "perform," not "perfprm." If this topic is not useful, please close and/or delete it.

Actually TMK already knows, just look at the MKDS page.
-
I noticed this on my first read-through of the manual. Indeed, it is here: http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/errata.shtml#mkds
-
Yea... it's been noticed before... still interesting, though. You'd think that for a largely-released game, Nintendo would mind its p's and q's reading over the manual...
...or p's and o's. Whatever that was.
-
Ah, there's something I don't see on the list there... the Luigi's Mansion manual is missing a LOT of apostrophes, especially in the "ask E. Gadd" portion.
-
Lots of modern manuals are horribly edited slapped together rush jobs.
-
Most games themseves have been rid of errors, though. Unless the game is HUGE, I noticed a couple of things in PMTTYD.
1. Rawk Hawk dealt 3 damage per attack, but had 1 defense point in the Japanese version. This was changed to 4 attack and 0 defense for the American release. However, Goombella’s tattle book still reads 3 attack and 1 defense.
2. During the Crystal Star sequence in the middle of the Shadow Queen fight, one of the Shellshockers comments. It was probably intended that King K spoke instead.
There are also a few errors here and there in the Tattle log that aren't really errors, just inconsistencies. Sometimes, instead of the usual "HP: 6", it says "HP is 6".
All your base are belong to us...

I remember seeing an error in MKDS, SPP, MPH, and I believe M&L:PiT. FFIVAdv was fine I think.
-
Since people are talking about certain errors in manuals, do strategy guides count? Because I found an error in SMA4:SMB3's official strategy guide.
-
I'm not sure but on Mario Tennis PT, after you beat the island open, meet Mario in singles, and if you are playing as Clay, toadsworth says, "He cannot come" even though hes referring to Ace. (and vice versa when you're playing as Ace.)
Also, when you are in doubles and talk to Elroy before you Vs. him, he will say something like "So you think you've already one just because you've got a ticket to the island open?"
I'm not on often, so I dont have much time to check if this is true.
-
In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, in the Tattle Book, if you look up Shady Koopa(I think), it will have an error of something like "...a higher rank of a paratroopa...". I haven't played the game in a long time, so I forgot exactly which koopa type it was, and what it said. I just know it used paratroopa instead of koopa. So, look up the koopa types and you'll see.
-
No, no. It was a Paragloomba, and she described it as a "slightly tougher Parakoopa." It's not in the book, it's just what she said.
M&L: PiT has a few errors in the progress descriptions for Save Blocks. I can remember a couple more that have to do with unnecessary apostrophes, but only one specific error stands out in my memory: The Shroob's have been defeated! (After you beat Princess Shroob and save in Peach's Castle of the present, you'll get that message.)
-
Ah, I was thinking it was in the book. But I do know that she didn't say 'Parakoopa'. It was 'Paratroopa'. I'll go check later.
Might as well rename this topic: "Video Game Errors".
-
Hmm... Well, I know the Paraglomba situation is one error, but I don't remember one about Shady Koopas... I might have simply not noticed. They might both be there.
-
OK guys, I found a new one. In M&L:PiT, save after you get the Spin Jump. The message will say "Now Mario and Co. can reach those places that were too high before!" It should be "too far before!".
-
I this have all importance, but I the booklet of the indication of MKDS find the rather remarkable mistake and how do not know high. Page 09, small size turbos the place where you have expressed, glance of the place where there is a black information box. You read that: "The Releas" R "small-sized turbo to perfprm. "Naturally, that" it is proper, it does, "it is not," perfprm. When "this topic is not useful, it is close and/or delete that.
Translated into Engrish.
Anyhow, how about SMB2, where they said Birdo was a guy?
-
Birdo is a guy, and please don't bump topics that have a big time loop from the last post to your post.
-
But it didn't warn me, unlike another time.
-
It's not supposed to warn you, you should know, especially if this has happened before. Also, you can bump topics, but they have to relate to the topic you're posting in. Translating my post into Engrish and talking about Birdo is not pertaining to the topic.
-
Well, I remember that one time it said that "This topic hasn't been replied in x months blah blah blah" but whatever.
-
Birdo is a guy,
Uh, no... What would make you say that? Don't say "The Japanese version is always right," because that'd mean she's female and always has been. The "guy" thing was another of NOA's brilliant ideas.
