Nintendo Character Manual

Author Blake J. Harris has offered up a fascinating look at the inside of the official Nintendo Character Manual from 1993 that features details for “any public performance of the Mario character” and more. The manual served as a way for those licensing any Nintendo video game properties to maintain the exact image that the Japanese company wanted. Harris is the author of Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation.
