Super Mario 64: Totally Unauthorized (The Super Mario Game Series)

Summary: Helpful guide, but it lacks maps.
Review: I'm an adult gamer (probably because my parents never caved in and got me an Atari -- remember those?), and I have always gotten strategy guides for more complicated games (Zelda and Donkey Kong, for instance). I shouldn't have needed a guide for this game, but I was stuck at 45 stars and just couldn't obtain any more. With this guide, I quickly obtained 25 more stars. It's very simply written, and will sometimes tell you where the star is, but not necessarily how to get it. Sometimes the directions are confusing (i.e. "go up on the left side" but the left side depends on your vantage point). What this guide really needed is what I've come to expect from all strategy guides: maps, either detailed or simplistic. There are no maps of the individual worlds, and no layout of where each world is in the castle. The lack of these maps is what keeps this guide from being great. There are, however, many color pictures, and usually from that you can ascertain where you need to be. Still, this is a good strategy guide -- especially if you're somewhat familiar with the worlds already and just need a little help.

Summary: It was ok, athough it helped alot.
Review: The book helped me alot, but all the names of the worlds were made up, they were in the index too. It messed me up when trying to find the world I was in, but otherwords, it was pretty good.

Summary: This book is terrible. It didn't help me at all.
Review: This book is too hard to understand and it lacks description of the game. I was totally lost and I didn't even understand the way it was written. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK.

Summary: This is a great book!
Review: This is a great book, it has great descriptions of how to get each star, and even tells how to beat bowser at the end, thanks to the book I just beat bowser. It has little pictures showing where the stars too, and directions on how to get the red coins in each level. Its in color too. This is a great book for a person that needs help getting stars. Also if you don't want to buy a book, go to www.nintendo.com and you can get just as good descriptions.
