Before we had Game Boys for entertainment on long plane rides we had activity books. These time killers had games to play, pictures to color and occasionally papercraft. Fortunately the Super Mario Brothers activity book from Golden had it all. The first few pages had the story of Super Mario Brothers to color in. Golden’s adaptation is a little different. After Bowser took over the mushroom kingdom he turned the poor toadstools into bricks and horsehair plants. Also Luigi is notably absent, but some cool activities like making a jumping Mario might make up for it. Check below for some scans of the book.
.::: Actually the story is correct. This was how it was told in the instruction booklet.
You can find an English transcript here:

As a side note: I remember owning a Dutch version of this activity book.
Thank You,
My little girl is eight she has fallen in love with Mario and his gang in the new Nintendo DS games. Items are hard to find now a days.
I AM A MEGA, SUPER FAN OF SUPER MARIO & HIS FRIENDS. If anyone has any Super Mario colouring pages that are black & white (printable ones) or if you know of any shops in NSW Parramatta area where you can purchase Mario items, It would be appreciated gratefully. Places near me such as: Northmead, Parramatta, Castle Hill, North Rocks, Winston Hills & Baulkam Hills.
Thankx you very much. Please send to smexi-laura@hotmail.com
Thankx once again. Bye!
Thanks for the cool pictures. My son loves Mario Bros (as I did as a kid). We recently “discovered” some old Nintendo Adventures Books. They’re Choose you Own Adventure Books, but Nintendo game themed (Mario, Zelda, etc..) Why don’t they make these things anymore ?!?! There’s obviously a video game market for it!
