And here's the Super #Mario Bros. 2 (The Lost Levels) Wanpakku Comics June 1988 issue by Yukio Sawada!

The company closed before the final chapters could be collected into an volume 4 so the only place to find them is in the original monthlies.

From 1985-89 Wanpakku Comics was a major producer of #Nintendo manga & game guides. While much of the manga was later released in volumes, they closed & the last issues can only be found in the original monthlies

It was requested I scan the #Mario chapters. May 1988: archive.org/details/zine...

I just finished 2400dpi scanning and repairing this mini-calendar from the 1987 Wanpakku Comics December issue that features Yukio Sawada's / 沢田ユキオ absolutely adorable Super Mario Bros. 2 art. Find it here: archive.org/details/zine...

I finally uploaded the 2400dpi scans I just made a little while ago of a mini playing card set that was an insert in Wanpakku Comic's 1987 February issue. It features art from most of their series, including #Mario #Zelda #MursameCastle #Metroid #Layla and more: archive.org/details/zine...

Your 3D scanned keshi figure today is this board game pawn depicting Mario jumping, from Super Mario World. This comes from Play Figure 20: Super Mario World Game (プレイフィギュア20 スーパーマリオワールドゲーム) a 1991 board game by Bandai.

I'll be uploading to IA shortly! Just prepping pages

Also, if a game historian is like a bard, then I'm like a bruiser: I simply scan. I don't know things so you can absolutely help me out by making sure I have the correct information. Japanese & English names, character names, tagging info, etc
