The Wario manuals archival project (WIP)

[warelander]

Since we are the only Wario based site out there I think we should be the ones to take ''responsibility'' for archiving all things Wario in one place, manuals in particular are something that will eventually be lost, so it would be neat for us to be the ones to keep them around, so we always have the official names and descriptions for everything.

Here are all the ones we have in the resources:

Wario Land

Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land

Virtual Boy Wario Land

Wario Land 2
Wario Land 2 (Japan)

Wario Land 3

Wario Land 4
Wario Land 4 (Japan)
Wario Land 4 (European)

Wario World

Wario Master of Disguise
Wario Master of Disguise (European)

Wario Land Shake It


WarioWare

WarioWare Inc. Minigame Mania (European)
WarioWare Mega Microgames (Japanese)

WarioWare Mega Party Games

WarioWare Twisted

WarioWare Touched
WarioWare Touched (German)

WarioWare Smooth Moves

WarioWare Do It Yourself


Others

Wario Blast

NES Wario's Woods
SNES Wario's Woods


I just figured that it would be an interesting community effort to archive this kind of stuff, so any help for other language versions would be appreciated.

I haven't actually got any manuals for Wario games, as I buy all my games used and I don't want to pay 1.5 times the price for a box and manual when what I want to do is play the game.
The only Wario related physical thing I've got is the box for the GBC, which shows screenshots of Wario Land II and Link's Awakening DX.

Wow, that's a lot of manuals you found. Nice to see someone's archiving these things.

As for foreign language versions... well, I think just one European version would do for many cases. They have most European languages in the same manual/game now. In other words, we'd need:

1. One English version (if European, this also covers French, German, Italian, etc)
2. One Japanese version
3. Maybe one for the Korean version of the game if it got released there. That sometimes happens.

Speaking of which here is the european Wario Land 4 manual.

This and Minigame Mania are very fortunate cases where Nintendo themselves are providing the PDF, I'm sure there are more though, I mean we just got this started.

Just found the japanese Mega Microgames manual, gotta say I like comparing japanese ones ti other versions, for some of the stuff that didn't make it into overseas versions, like this 9-Volt maze:

Or this symbol game, whatever it is:

Finally I can find the manual for any Wario game without searching the hell out of the internet. Thank you so much!
