Donkey Kong Country 2 was one of the very few SNES games I bought new, and I remember being amused by the manual. Looking at it again now, it must have been the Cranky Kong comments in the corners that I liked back then.

Kids playing Super Mario Bros. in the 1980s didn’t always realize that the bricks containing powerups were transformed Mushroom Kingdom citizens, unless they happened to read the manual.

I don’t know how to identify which field horsehair plants are transformed mushroom people and which ones are simply natural field horsehair plants. (Yes, it’s supposed to be “horsetail.”)

apparently only the bricks containing mushrooms/flowers/coins (that don’t break) are citizens, presumably this was quietly retconned once Nintendo realized “wait we don’t really need to handwave the concept of powerups”
