It was on the box. The instruction manual also showed how you could make little “graffiti” on the margins of the screen using a color pallette, and someone at Nintendo had scrawled stupid stuff like “D. K. Rules!!!!” and such.

I went with green-blue color pallettes a lot of the time, myself.

I wish I’d never sold the damned thing. I also had the mouse that came with Mario Paint and the Super Scope + Super Scope 6, which I’d probably find fun for about ten minutes if I were to play it today.
