Now I'm not sure if this is also in the American Booklet, but its in the Canadian one anyway:

In the memory card section, it shows a picture of the memory card screen, and one of the save files is highlited, and at the bottom of the screen where it tells you the file that is currently highlited, it says : Super Mario Bros. World 1 - 3, and beside it, it has the super mario 64 logo.........

Isn't that weird? It doesn't make sense....

Didn't the Japanese memory cards include a game or two from the NES? I think maybe that is what they mean.

Yeah, I noticed that too... I guess that is what happens when you don't have mario to launch with.

No. The mem card that came with Animal Forest did, but ou had to play them through the game.

And those pics are just random examples because at the time they needed the screens, they didn't have the logos and stuff for all the games. They needed to use Nintendo games, cause they have the rights to print the name and logo, and they didn't want to reveal anything, so they used old stuff as an example.

That would actually be a really good business idea for Nintendo. Imagine, they sella 50 dollar disc for playing ROMs, maybe with a couple games on it, then sell memory cards with specially encyrpted ROMs (A dexdrive or similar appliance could theoretically let people burn roms onto it otherwise). They could sell an RPG pack, and action pack, a mario pack, etc.

Also illegal and against their own moral standards.

How is it illegal if they're ROMs of their OWN games that you can only get through THEM?

Yeah and it is my idea.
