To hype the remarkable Mario Sunshine, Nintendo broke the world record of horrifically large pasta dishes, cooking up 3,265 pounds of spaghetti, surpassing the old Guinness achievement of 2,564. Fans got to jump into the three-foot high, ten-foot-wide pan to collect prizes.

An action shot of a man dressed like Luigi getting drenched with a faceful of spaghetti. He's holding some kind of Gamecube swag bag.

A photo from a magazine of person in a Sonic the Hedgehog costume standing by a barbeque with three Crash Bandicoot plush toys. Sonic is giving a thumbs up and poking at the toys with an implement. 

A caption below the image reads: No more E3 antics like these: Sonic roasting Crash at Sega's BBQ last year.

"Monsters have, once again, invaded Japan. Except, instead of crushing pedestrians and munching on rail cars, these new beasts are causing a frenzy of a different sort: that of the sales variety. As in eight million games sold and millions of dollars in merchandise. They're the monster pets of PokΓ©mon. Next target? America. And considering their successful TV show, merchandising and hefty promotional push, the results promise to be just as phenomenal. Which means that there's a very good chance lightning will soon be shooting out of a few retailers' heads as well. PokΓ©mon. Coming this Fall. Catch 'em if you can."

From our current scanning project: This is a rarely seen trade-only pre-release US ad for PokΓ©mon, using the original tagline "Catch 'em if you can." This ad would have originally been run at E3 1998
