Checklist card

Nintendo Game Boy Trading Cards are a series of promotional trading cards released by Amurol in 1993. The cards were included with packages of Game Boy Bubble Gum. Each of the cards depicts a different game released for the Game Boy on the front, and provides three tips for said game on the back. 14 cards were available in total. Two cards were made for each game. The tips are divided between the two cards. Many of the cards feature games in the Super Mario franchise.

Cards

#	Front	Back	Game	Tips
1			Dr. Mario	1 Watch Mario at the top of the screen to see what color the next capsule is. This way you will already have an idea where to place the capsule before it comes down. 2 When you are clearing a level, try to remove the top viruses first. This way, you'll open up maneuvering space and give yourself room to work on the lower area. 3 If you can't find the perfect place to put a capsule, place it to the side so you have room in the middle to manipulate other capsules. Try not to cover a virus with a different color of capsule.
2			Dr. Mario	4 Clear out the center area first, then work on the sides. This way, you will have more time to place a capsule in the perfect place. 5 When you play a 2-player match, try to line up the capsules so you make multiple matches with one move. If you succeed in doing this you will drop unwanted pieces on your opponent's screen.
7			Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins	1 After you pick up an Invincibility Star, run into as many enemies as you can. If you run into five of them, you will get a 1-UP! 2 After jumping on a Koopa, hold down the B Button to pick up the shell. You can throw it at other enemies! 3 If you hold the A Button when you land on an enemy, you will bounce high into the air. 4 In the Hippo Stage, hop into a bubble and hold the A Button to ride safely all the way to the exit.
8			Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins	5' Half-way through the Hippo Stage you will see a cloud shaped like an arrow. Ride a bubble straight up from the tip of the arrow to find a hidden M Bag worth 50 coins. 6 Sometimes items are hidden off the bottom or top of the screen. Hold the B Button and press Up or Down to see the areas above or below you. 7 SECRET STAGE - If you have Bunny Ears in the second stage of the Tree Zone don't go out the normal goal. Instead, go left and up from the goal, until you see a pipe on the right side of the screen. Fly to the pipe and enter it to find the Secret Stage.
9			Super Mario Land	1 When you get to the end of a stage, try to enter the top door instead of the lower one. This way you will get to play the bonus game and earn 1-Ups. 2 Halfway through World 1-3 there is a Hidden Lift. After defeating the Sphinx, hit all of the breakaway block. Jump up between the remaining blocks to find the Hidden lift. You must be Big Mario to find it. 3 When you fight Dragonmasu at the end of World 2-3 try to stay near the bottom of the screen. It is easier to avoid the enemy's shots from here.
10			Super Mario Land	4 Wait until the lift you are on reaches its highest point before you jump to the next one. You will be able to jump further with the added height. 5 At the beginning of World 1-3 there is a Hidden Lift on the left side of the screen. Ride the lift up to the top of the screen for an easier path to the end. 6 After you fight Bronkinton at the end of the game, quickly move to the left wall. Position yourself so that you are shooting the fourth bottom block from the left wall. Start shooting as fast as you can. When Tatanga appears you will defeat him without getting hit!
11			Yoshi	1 When you complete a Yoshi's egg a Yoshi will appear. The more enemies there are between the two halves of the egg the bigger the Yoshi will be. 2 If the bottom half of a Yoshi's egg lands near the top of a stack, use either the top of the egg or another bottom to get rid of the egg. 3 Try to put the bottom half of the Yoshi's egg at the bottom of one of the stacks, that way you can build taller stacks.
12			Yoshi	4 Keep an eye on the enemies that are going to be dropped next. You can line up the stacks before they drop to catch them. 5 If you have a tall stack of enemies, try to keep it to the side of the screen, until you get the piece you need. That way it will be out of the way most of the time. 6 If one of the enemies that is dropping does not match any of the enemies that are on top of the stacks, try to put the falling enemy on top of the screen.
13			Yoshi's Cookie	1 Work both sides of the pile. Try to remove both horizontal and vertical rows as evenly as possible. If the cookies reach either the top or the right side of the screen, the game is over. 2 When you remove six rows of the same kind of cookie, a Yoshi Cookie will appear. The Yoshi cookie will complete a match with any other kind of cookie. 3 When you are playing a 2-Player game, don't let your time run out. If you run out of time, your opponent will win. You can reset your clock by making a match.
14			Yoshi's Cookie	4 Choose one or two kinds of cookies and stick with them. Keep matching those cookies and don't worry about the others. 5 Remember that the cookies will wrap around the edges of the screen. If you rotate a cookie off of the left edge of the screen, it will appear on the right side of the cookie batch. Use this technique to line up cookies quicker.
