Rare Super Mario World misprint cart BIN $500
Check it out, here is the link
I mean what are the chances of the printer running out of ink like that and printing in blue instead of green. Maybe not worth $500 but I could see paying $100 for it.
The only other misprint I have ever seen is my copy illusion of gaia which i received off of ebay in a lot of games. There must of been some malfunction at the factory because the label was completely missing from the cart. I have pics if anyone is interested.

The game just has a faded label, I have many copies of Super Mario World that look like that. What a joke.
Or complete genius! I just spent the past 2 hours microwaving all my SNES games and posting them on eBay as misprints.
, def. looks like colour fade to me rather than misprint.
I had a misprinted Dracula Unleashed for the Mega CD once. The discs had a red and black design on and on one of them, the part in red ink was misaligned at an angle of about 45 degrees from the part in black ink - made a very odd looking disc!

what a crook !
I can't beleive someone actually paid a hundred bucks for such thing lol
Let's put all our cart under the sun rays for couple days then will be rich !
Oh eBay! you are such a pain, I am addicted to you like crack cocaine. You offer things I cannot find in stores,You are the pimp, and we are all your whores.
I concur. In my experience, it's just a label that's been damaged via sun-fading. Nothing special. It's not like the Metal Gear Solid mis-print which was bought by the PlayStation Museum site and then resold again a few weeks ago.
Minor sun fading, nothing more
Ugh, sun fading makes me think of old video rental stores, barf
Hmm, that looks different than my copy. On mine, the lettering is centered and away from the bar. I didn't know there were different revisions of the cart...
(No, I'm not thinking mine is somehow special, just that I'm ignorant

Thats what I was thinking. Maybe I should put my former rental game boxes on ebay as misprints for the discoloring.
Uh, that took about one second to figure out it was a sunfade. Seller= moron.
That was funny
Are you serious about the missing label? Your joking right?
Yeah, there was at least a couple of revisions.Hmm, that looks different than my copy. On mine, the lettering is centered and away from the bar. I didn't know there were different revisions of the cart...

There is also a players choice version, but I do not have a scan of that.
As for the seller, someone would have to be really ignorant to believe that a faded label qualifies as some "OMG ULTRA RARZ0RZ" variant.

Here's something I wrote over a year ago:
http://assemblergames.com/wiki/dogat...cs.SMWCARTVERS
The first two cartridges are of the original Super Mario World with the plastic mold for locking on a North American Super Nintendo unit, similar to the PAL and Japanese carts. The first one is the first NTSC-U/C cartridge of Super Mario World to be made. The difference between the two is that the text Super Mario World is on one line in one, and in 2 lines on the other. The second and third carts also have a lighter shade blue background from the first cart. The last cart does not have the plastic mold.
Ah, yeah, mine is the first revision (dark blue, words all on one line). I didn't notice that big difference earlier, because I only looked at the spine, but that explains why the pictures on eBay seemed a little off to me.
Not that it really matters. Though, I'm going to sell it on eBay now, saying it's a special dev-only version, as all other copies of the game have lettering on two lines. When I'm a millionaire from this, I'll let you guys know.
Thanks for the info, Mark30001 and Evan_G.

Here are two of his silly responses to my questions, I was bored and just wanted to see what he would come up with
i was mainly listing it to a get an idea of what i could get for it, since i have never seen another one like it one ebay. or anywhere else for that matter. Alot of people wrote me some pretty mean emails, because of how high the buy it now price was, but whatever. If your a collector this is very cool, its not sun faded or any tricks which alot of people seemed to think it was, you can clearly see it is a "MISSPRINT" anyways it cost me $20 buck just to list it because of the hight buy it now price and reserve, but i am going to relist it. If you have an offer i would love to either just sell it to you without listing it again or set ap a buy it now auction, but either way t will be up at the end of the week again with a much less reserve. LET ME KNOW!!!
No i dont think that it is sun fading. the colors are to perfect, sun fading would leave some parts different than others. on this cart you can clearly see that the printer just ran out of ink. I mean i does happen, plus tell me how green would fade to blue, it would be blue fading to green. the blue is actually a crisper color than the green.
Anybody will do anything to make a buck or two. The seller is just trying to find a chump buyer. Who will take the bait. lol
