Mario Kart DS Typo

Maybe Nintendo should get a new instructional booklet editor. If you turn to page nine of the Mario Kart DS instruction manual, you'll see the following:

"Release R to perfprm a mini turbo."

Live Journal writes: "I wonder if they've fixed it on new copies. This reminds me of Ocarina of Time where they misspelled "environments" on the box. (Then in Nintendo Power when they mentioned it, didn't they misspell the word "misspell"?)

We've had our fair share of typos here at DS Fanboy, so we feel you, Nintendo.

3. theres also a kinda typo in the actual wifi mode, even though its really slight. The second box that lights up after you match a person is one column off to the left compared to the other boxes.

4. There's also a typo on the back of the box

On the line as the first bullet it says ....all-new mission mode makes this a Mario "£" Kart fan's dream!

6. The "Release R to perfprm a mini turbo." isn't in my manual, but I do have the £ on the back of my box between the Mario & the Kart.

8. Wow... this typo is completley unimportant to any of our lives.



can someone please spellcheck my comment, i wouldn't want to cause a fuss.

9. Yes, when "i" is used in a sentence referring to yourself, it is always capitalized.



It's not a very big deal but you'd figure it wouldn't get past the editors for one of the more important games Nintendo is releasing.

10. true, it is hard to believe the typo landed in there... and i admit i went and opened the manual for the first time just look for the typo as soon as i saw the post. happy new year!

11. hey.. has anyone noticed the Castlevania Typo IN GAME?



At the beginning Soma bumps into some people and.. I think they're talking about some chick Yoko, and someone says "shie" instead of "she"



I can't remember if I've EVER seen an in-game typo lol..maybe in FF
