You probably have seen my Animal Crossing: Wild world FAQ and you probably haven't seen my Game & Watch Gallery 2 FAQ but that doesn't matter. All that matters is that your here. In the beginning, it was meant to be an original intellectual property, but Square Enix felt that it would work well if it were a part of the Mario franchise, and contacted Nintendo asking permission to use the franchise, who then allowed them to use the Mario label. [citation needed] This game also is the first in which Mario and Final Fantasy characters appear together as playable characters, and the second Mario game developed by Square, the first one being Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. If you find the game confusing at first, I suggest you finish all of the practice games. After that, the game should be a lot easier for you. +--------------------------------------+ | Points of Interest | | | | Table of Contents............[01,00] | | Verison History..............[02,00] | | Challenges: Practice.........[03,01] | | Contact Info.................[08,00] | +--------------------------------------+ ****************************************************************************** * * * V E R S I O N H I S T O R Y * * * *[02,00]**************************************************************[02.00]* 1.2 Took out extra clutter from the guide. 1.1 Added much more information, 1.0 Just started, prepared the guide even before the game came out just so I can get ahead of everyone else.
