Thanks for the link, there's a lot of cool stuff in there! I love the Star Fox team on page 62 and Tin Man and the Scarecrow on page 66 are surprisingly tight! I'm kind of curious about the licensing as well. If I didn't know any better I'd say whoever put the book together just went AWOL and put in whatever they wanted and nobody said anything because it was the 90s. Maybe some sort of deal was struck since this is basically advertising all these different games, but that doesn't really explain the sports, Disney, or Spielberg stuff... Do you know if there was a Japanese equivalent to this book? If so I wonder if it has like Astroboy or Dr. Slump or something.

No problem! I hope you have fun in the forums. I look forward to seeing you around!

Yeah, it's a really interesting book. Especially with all the "MPtv" stuff, which is an obvious parody of MTV visuals of the time. I really do wonder what the licensing was for this book, if any at all.

As far as a Japanese Mario Paint book, I haven't found any mention online of one existing. Then again, I wouldn't really know what to look for. It's possible there are copies of it floating around on Japanese-language sites, but I wouldn't know how, where, or what to look for.

There's a lot of stuff floating around online in who knows what corners.
