    Default Interesting bit of foreshadowing

    Of course, everyone here knows that the Famicom disk game Doki Doki Panic was released here in the US in cart format as SMB 2. However, I noticed something interesting in the DDP instruction manual the other day. There's a sticker showing Mario and the young man from DDP shaking hands. I realize it's just meant to show the partnership between Nintendo and Fuji TV for DDP, but it does seem like a bit of foreshadowing regarding the release of SMB 2 in the US later on.

    Well, at least to me it does. It's just one of those interesting coincidences, I guess.

    Yeah, A Doki Doki copy on E-bay had this picture in the auction. At first I thought it was a pirate disk of the US. version of SMB2. I couldn't tell you if it was foreshadowing or what not. Interesting either way.

    It probably wasn't foreshadowing in that sense, but it sure looked it. It's a pretty neat sticker though... I should find a way to scan it sometime. You wouldn't happen to have the link to that auction still, would you?

    I remember seeing that sticker in an auction also once. Very strange coincidence that was seeing Mario and the Doki Doki Panic guy.

    I believe the DDP guy's name is Imajin. The woman with the blue hood is called Mama, and the Mario looking guy is Papa. I think the girl's name is Lana, but I forget. You find out the character's names when you beat the game with them.

    yeah, it goes for a LOAD on ebay. i remember missing an auction for one about 2 years ago in a lot of 10 fc games that went for about $40 (!), and the same seller listed a complete ddp separately, and it went for something like $80- go figure...
