The Story of Super Mario USA:
One evening, Mario had a mysterious dream. It was of a long, long
staircase, which continued upwards towards a door. With the opening of the
door, a world unlike anything previously seen expanded as far as Mario's eyes
could see. He could clearly hear a faint voice in his ears.
"Welcome to Subcon, the land of dreams. We're being tormented
by Mamu; the entire country is under terrible spell. We've been awaiting your
arrival...please, defeat Mamu, restoring Subcon to it's original form. The
curse Mamu put on you in the real world has no effect in the dream world. Are
you getting this so far? Please remember that Mamu is said to HATE vegetables.
Please help us out!”
At the same time of hearing this voice, lightning flashed before
Mario's eyes. In surprise, Mario lost his footing, flipping himself over. Taken
with surprise, Mario's eyes awoke and he found himself upright in bed. Hoping
to clear his head, Mario discussed the strange dream with Luigi, Kinopio and
Princess Peach. They then set out for a picnic at a nearby mountain. Arriving
at their destination, they saw a small cave within viewing distance. Entering
the cave, they're astonished by the sight of a continuous, rising staircase,
just like in Mario's dream. Everyone climbs up to the top level, where the same
door as in Mario's dream sits. With some caution, they open the door and take a
look...once again to their surprise, like in Mario's dream, a world expanded
before their eyes.
The Fundamental Rules of the Game:

A Button
B Button
Start Button
Select Button
Mario

Princess Peach
(Page 5)
*Attempt to clear a total of 20 areas,
between 7 worlds!
(Areas) 1~3 Start - World 1
(Areas) 19*20 Goal - World 7
The game is like the above map: Progressing
from 20 areas over the 7 worlds. At the end of each area is a mini-boss. After
all the other areas have been cleared, the main boss Mamu is waiting for you at
the end of the final area!
Get to know the abilities of each character
(Page 6)
*Jumping Power
The four characters have a differing amount
of jumping power between them. Here are the differences in their attributes.
Mario
His jumping power is about average in most
situations. However, when holding an item, the height of his jumps decreases a
bit.
Luigi
Able to jump the highest, fluttering for a
distance, his jumps are not always precise. When holding an item, his power decreases
more than Mario's.
(Page 7)
Kinopio
His jumping power is the lowest. However,
when holding an item, the height of his jump and running speed does not change.
*In America, Kinopio is named Toad.
Princess Peach
Her jumping power is ranked third. If the A
button is continuously held, she can float through the air for about 1.5
seconds. When holding an item, her jumping power decreases quite a bit.
Pages 8, 9
*Running
Everyone runs at the same speed, however when something is
being carried, the character
speed is in the order of Kinopio>Mario>Luigi>Princess Peach.
*Plucking, lifting up
When plucking an item or lifting up mushroom blocks, the
speed is in the order of Kinopio>Mario>Luigi>Princess Peach.
Pages 10, 11
*The game
starts with 3 lives
The life
gauge begins with 2 hits. If it turns completely white, the player is dead. The
gauge can be increased to a maximum of 4 hits. If the amount of players reaches
0 due to deaths, the game is over.
*Deaths
due to falling
Along the
stages, there are holes and waterfalls. If you accidently fall in, you'll die.
Do watch out for missteps and mistakes from jumping.
*When your
life gauge is at 1, your body becomes small. Be careful!
Retries
and continues
When the
game is over, the below screen will come up. To restart the game from after the
world you previously finished, please select continue and press the start
button. To start an entirely new game from the beginning, please select the
retry button.
Caution:
You can only continue twice.

player will jump from the location. However, the player can't jump at their
maximum height.
*Running jump (Left or Right then A)
Running by

the D-Pad, also press the A button to jump. Since you'll fly further through the air than jumping in
place, it's easier to deal with the enemy's attacks.
*Charging jump (Down then A)
Pressing down the lower part of the D-Pad, the player will
flash. If you jump at this time, you'll jump 1.5 times higher than when jumping
in place.
Pages 14, 15
Learn
how to handle various items
(14)
*Look at
how to pluck shrubs (Press B)
Shrubs
are growing around everywhere.
If you press the B button while standing over one, you'll pluck and lift
it up. When on the desert's surface, the
soft ground can also be dug up and traversed through.
*Handling mushroom blocks (Press B)

able to lift it up the same way as an item.

Skillfully deal with enemies

If you
press the bottom of the D-pad, you can crouch. For enemies flying through the
air, this is a good way to deal with them.

Mario and
friends can even be controlled in mid-jump. This is good for getting on
enemies.
*See how
to climb vines and chains.
(Up)
For vines
and chains, if Mario and friends go over them and press up on the D-pad,
they'll be able to take hold. It's even ok to jump while you're on them. Also,
for enemies that are on vines, you can pick up and throw them while you're on
the vine.

Pages 20, 21
Items to help Mario and friends
Coin
Only by gathering these can you play the slot machine.
(Disappointing) Vegetables

the road.
Vegetables
These vegetables have matured. What if you were to pluck out
a bunch of them...?
Shell
If thrown, it will slide while knocking out enemies.
Bomb
After picking this up, the seconds will start to pass. The
flashing means it will explode!

Besides being used as a stepping platform, it can also be
used to attack enemies.
Mushroom
If you warp to a place called "the other screen,"
the mushroom will emerge. It will increase your life gauge by one.
Small Heart
This appears if you defeat a lot of enemies. It recovers one
point of your life gauge.
POW
Power Block. Throwing it causes the earth to quake, defeating
enemies all over the screen.
Key
This is needed to open up locked doors. Holding it does not
change your running speed.

Tremendously Important and Helpful Items
(22)
*Going to ‘the
other screen’ with the
magic potion.
If you've picked up the magic potion item, see what happens
if you toss it. Doing so will make a door appear wherever it drops.
If you press up on the d-pad, you'll enter ‘the other screen’.
You can use the magic potion up to two times in each area, turning grass into coins in the other screen. If you
place the door in certain areas, there will be hearts that increase your life
gauge.
*Collect cherries to become invincible.
In stages,
along your way
are cherries. Collect
several to make a star
will appear. If you take it, you'll become invincible for a period of time!

Chance at the end of the area.

the boss character and clearing the screen
At the end

will not open unless you have the crystal ball! Since Catherine is in possession
of the crystal ball, it looks like you'll have to defeat her to make the
exchange. At the last part of each world, an even greater boss is waiting for
you!
