Notes
The booklet packed with the Japanese Famicom cartridge HVC-MA. It prints "© Nintendo 1983" and no release date; the item's date metadata (1983-09-09) is the uploader's, a lead and not evidence. The OCR spaces Japanese text between words, so quotes follow the OCR.

Mario, with Luigi in the two-player game, fights the creatures that come out of the pipes: turtles, crabs, and fighter flies. A punch from below only stuns one, and a kick then gets rid of it for good; freezies and fireballs attack too. The Famicom booklet describes the same game.printed p. 5 (PDF p. 7), 目的は? captionprinted p. 5 (PDF p. 7), 目的は? captionManual
