Players' Guide Corrections

As everyone who has used the Players' Guide that comes with EarthBound (should) know, it is totally messed up. This section is to help beginners and long-time players alike so that the more major corrections are fixed. Misspellings or other things that can be easily understood without a correction won't be mentioned here. This will help you more accurately plan out what you want to do with items once you get them, as well as other things the guide may get you frustruated over. (The Players' Guide has so many errors, you may think you will get one item, but you get another, and your item "plan" gets messed up.)

Most of the corrections mentioned here will have to do with corrections with the maps. Feel free to print this up and use it with your Player's Guide. This is in table format, so you can just cut the errors out of the printed document and put them in your guide where the mistakes are. If you notice an error that is not mentioned here, please email me the page number(s) of the error and what it is. Also email me if one of these corrections needs correcting. Note: I know, this isn't exactly the most exiting part of this page.
