I need to write Internet Archive and try to figure out why the 1987 calendar was removed, (it's odd because nothing else was so I have to think it was an error,) but until then you can find smaller images of it on the Tumblr page: www.tumblr.com/its-a-me-sca...
I guess I'll just upload the individual pages & maybe that will let us know what someone has a problem with :/
Might have also just been a bot looking for keywords, I've had that happen. I ended up figuring out what company it was, spoke with them, & it was a misunderstanding over what they owned
Oh wild, I didn't get any notification of a violation or takedown request. Doesn't seem like it would even be valid. Like did a Japanese liquor company actually care about it? And if Nintendo did why did they leave everything else up? Was it just a mad collector?
I'm very unfamiliar with the series so I don't really know either. According to that fan page it was a canceled N64 game.
Yeah! The only image I could really find of it before was what looked to the phone card posted to Instagram. Besides the card, and the calendar, I'm not sure I found it for anything else. Really wild. Also because Luigi is different in both so: why change it for just one minor product?
A little Mario drawing, he's happy, wearing a cape, and surrounded by 2 cute mushrooms.
Such a cute little #Mario in the August 1992 issue of Shogaku Ichinensei!
Screenshot of a 2 page manga scan in progress. This is a 1988 Super Mario Bros. 3 Mario with a raccoon tail flying above a toadstool village.
Currently scanning the never-online-before first chapter of the 1988 Super #Mario Bros 3 Manga by Yukio Sawada. Wanpakku, the publisher, closed after the next issue so this never completed & can't be found anywhere else. #Nintendo
A manga drawing of Mario looking pumped up to fight.
I've scanned another lost chapter of the Super Mario Bros 2 manga by Yukio Sawada. The publisher shut down before the last ones were collected into a volume so they haven't been seen outside of the monthlies: archive.org/details/zine...
Keep track here: its-a-me-scanio.tumblr.com/wanpakku_saw...
@pict0dev.bsky.social let me know that these Mother 3 screenshots may not have good quality equivalents online (thanks to their friend too: mother3land.neocities.org ) so I just scanned and uploaded it at 2400dpi. You can find the high0res page in this download folder: archive.org/download/zin...
It is just SO MUCH fun to go through these. Like if I had all the money in the world I would just be buying random kids magazines and books from around the world because the art is always either hilarious or incredible.
I get to learn all the Sonic tea now
An illustration showing a Sonic the Hedgehog family along with some art of them in a diner in the bottom corner.
I uploaded this page with some cute #Sonic the Hedgehog art from the June 1992 issue of Shogaku Ichinensei: archive.org/details/zine...
Is she called Akayoshi-chan?
She's adorable.
Here's the full page spread. Can you find them all? Ah, I love it. Japanese kid's magazines are just so awesome.

A "Where's Waldo" style fold out from a children's magazine that features hidden Super Mario Bros. characters in an open-air zoo and science park.
This "Where's Waldo" style #Mario art that's inside Shogaku Ichinensei's 1992 June issue is SO CUTE!
I just got this one today and fixed this spread up while I was making 2400dpi scans of other art. I'll try to get the large scans uploaded to archive.org/details/@its... soon. #Nintendo
Β‘Hola, Jeorge! π
I'm sure it was just some silly thing but I had to look & that name brings up nothing but this one thing behind a paywall: "Walla Walla Union Bulletin Archives, Nov 15, 1993 - Jeorge Boze was disciplined following an argument with a supervisor at caterpillars Mossville Plant. "
Actually, I've been trying to find which of these already have images online and the only ones I can find of this cut off the furthest line drawings of her on each side! So I don't know if those have even been online before either. Neat!
Cool! Yeah it's really fun to get large images like this. While other releases may have better color, or more room at the edges, etc: there's just a bunch of random little details that are often hard to see otherwise.
This is an underwater band scene. The Koopa and other "bad guy" characters play instruments. Mario and Luigi dance on a giant pearl. Peach sings from a clamshell behind them while Bowser stands behind it. There is aquatic life watching them from every angle.

Link and Zelda run through a dungeon, they are surrounded by enemies and Ganon is phasing through the wall, or is the back wall, and is reaching out to grab them.

This piece can be found in Art & Artifacts (mislabel as done in 1994) but this is bigger than the digital download.

Mario jumps and hits blocks. Coins fall from them and Luigi is picking them up. A lot of bad guys are around. Everything looks really cute.

Ha! That's great XD
It seems like they really did just have a lot of fun with these
And here's the Super #Mario Bros. 2 (The Lost Levels) Wanpakku Comics June 1988 issue by Yukio Sawada!
archive.org/details/zine...
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.
lol! OMG okay, so that's what that is XD I wasn't sure XD
Yeah, it's kind of wild. They made so much of it too!
Side note: I'm not sure, I may find some other thing, but I realized this artist may have also been the first one to pair Link with a fairy!
Double page manga spread with Mario on one side and Bowser on the other.
Here's the new-to-the-internet Super #Mario Bros. 2 (The Lost Levels) Wanpakku Comics July 1988 issue by Yukio Sawada. The company closed before the final chapters could be collected into an actual volume so the only place to find them is in the original monthlies: archive.org/details/zine...
We are just joking around because twice now my account has been instantly banned as spam when I've signed up at places. I was laughing about it elsewhere with her.
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...
