I wanted to share the latest ones I’ve made, finished them earlier this week.
This is the first time I’ve had too much I wanted to put into a manual or booklet, so I had to split them up haha š¤£ otherwise they wouldn’t fit inside the case!
The Manual is a bit more traditional on all the info bits and controls etc. and has checklists for Grand Prix, knockout Tour, character outfits while viewing their stats.
Meanwhile the Booklet is all about free roam and called the Explorapedia, listing all the P-Switch Missions, Peach Medallions, ? Switches and more for you to check off and complete in free roam.
I tried to combine them but that would’ve been about 90 odd pages, which is insane. So a 40 page Manual and a 52 page Booklet was the choice as I did really wanna cover all the areas.
Let me know your thoughts! I hope you like and enjoy the pictures! I’ve just about caught up on sleep hahaha š

What world we’re living in that we need to print our own booklets though at the same time paying the highest price in the history for games
Many of the deluxe, ultimate, collectors editions contains mostly digital content…
But those booklets came out great !

This is exactly part of that magic videogames used to have. You’d pick up the game, your parents would drive you home, you’d read the manual top to bottom 5 times before you even started playing the game, they’d sometimes come with maps or some extra “hidden” tips to help you get started… I miss those days!
Beautiful booklets buddy!

Damn this is fantastic! The layout and choice of graphics make this feel official. Iām sure you spend a good amount of time setting all this up. Definitely respect that š«”
That looks so professional, almost like it came straight from Nintendo. Incredible work!

I miss when games came with manuals

Aw man, this is a work of art. Too bad once nintendo finds out these are being produced and sold, nintendo will shut you down. Such great talent.

These are worthy of reading while on the toilet. This is the highest compliment in existence.

Damn, that’s extremely nice! God, I miss those booklets. I remember the Donkey Kong Country one for the SNES, with its funny comments of Cranky Kong. And the Super Mario World one, Jurassic Park, …
If people pay a premium price for physical editions, there should be something premium included too imo.

Loved game manuals. This looks awesome and truly adds to the package. Well done!

God I miss manuals. I was already bummed at this one being a pack-in and download at that, so I knew I’d be relying on whatever in-game how-to’s there were.
Great additions, I would’ve loved filling out the costume counter manually and I do love the thought of a p-switch counter to track that.

Are you able to share how you did it, sell it copies, or post online a way for us to print it? If any of those are possible, that would be really cool. Regardless, great work on the design!

Is there a way you could be convinced to share the digital version?

You’re insane with these booklets, I’ve looked through rest of your posts. Small, but so awesome fanarts, and the quality of the contents looks great! Wish we’d still get manuals with so good quality, it’s so sad that such a big company cannot add something like this, when they have much more resources to create it than a random fan. I know it has changed in gaming in general that we don’t get manuals now, and I know why companie$ stopped adding them, but still… Even if it were to change, I guess younger generations would not get and appreciate it, that’s also why it won’t happen, besides the $.
