Translated Japanese Sonic Manuals - where?

[Keith T. Hemari]

Have you ever looked for something on the internet? If you're reading this, then the answer is likely 'yes'. And you then likely know that if it is something related to a popular icon (Sonic for example) trying to find the one obscure thing about that popular icon amongst all the stuff that isn't what you want is like trying to find a needle in a haystack the size of freakin' Texas!

So I ask: Does anyone know where I can find the translations of the Japanese Sonic manuals from Sonic 1, 2, 3, and S&K. (SCD too if it applies).

I once had a link to said translations, but it has since died and I didn't have the presence of mind to save the info.

I figure someone might have been a swifter thinker than I am and might have them saved or even know where they are now.

Please?

I would also like to see these translations.

forums.sclassic.net/index.php?showtopic=442 has a handful of translations; I don't know how far Big Smile got before he left SClassic, though, so it might not contain translations from all of the games. In addition, I vaguely remember something about a "Kojichan" doing translations, but I haven't checked into it yet; for all I know, I could be mixing names up again.

Edit: Ah, Big Smile just compiled the translations, he didn't actually do any translating. I suppose that I should have read his topic back when it first started, but...it looked like a lot of words back then! I was really lazy, and kept putting it off!

SAA! Thank you, SoNick!

I shall be sure to copy this all down this time XD

Well, the Sonic and Knuckles Collection Manual was actually a translated Japanese Sonic 3 manual... Don't know if I still have it around, though, but I was lucky to read it before ever touching the original American version.

It's nice since it ties in directly with Sonic Adventure's eventual plot.
