What are some amusing errors you know of? There are some in the Errata, here are some more.
Dr. Mario (NES)
Instructions on scoring: "Even if you clear more than six viruses, you only get points for clearing six." OK, it's not totally incorrect, but it could be misleading. Actually, you do get points, but the score for the viruses beyond number six is the same as that for number six. The SNES game manual for Tetris & Dr. Mario explains it better, and even gives a scoring example that makes clear another fact the NES manual doesn't: That the scores in the table are per virus. If you clear 3 viruses on MED, you don't get 800, but rather 200+400+800 points.
Mario's Picross
How to Play Screen: Mario says "If you make mistake, your remaining time will be reduced. But try not to panic!" SHouldn't it be "If you make A mistake. . ."?
Mario Party 3
Instructions: In the section on Bonus Stars, it says "Millennium Star: Awarded to the player who wins the most coins in Mini-Games." Isn't it the Mini-Game Star?
Well, that's all I can think of. If you know more, then post here!
P.S. I sent you the puzzle mode solutions that you wanted, Deezer. Please check your mail.
