as the manual is black and white and pretty simple, I figured that it would be easier for you to use the scans as samples and for the pictures but otherwise do it from the scratch.
Anyway here are the scans:

Manual scan01 is missing as it is the PDF file containing the other scans

And yes i would like a copy of the finished manual

And maybe full color manual could be nice.

EDIT: Sorry got lazy while scanning, tell if any page needs re-scanning (use the actual page number of the manual)

Here you go! Mr. Gimmick manual translated in english and ready to print. Also replaced screenshots and coloured in artwork.

http://www.mediafire.com/?jmikynmymfm

If this manual can be uplaoded to the site with the cover I made let me know and Ill uplaod it. Could be handy for anyone els who has this game or the Japanese version and doesnt have a manual or would prefer one in english.

I suggest renaming this thread to "English Mr. Gimmick Manual" now that its finished.

Oh that looks great!!!

I can check that the translation is correct, although if your sure that it is already correct, go ahead and upload it, I don't see why it couldn't be hosted on the site as custom.

EDIT: At quick glance all is pretty good, I can even tell that you used the Swedish text as the base, as Finnish is bit different at parts.

Some minor corrections:

Maybe on page 1 you could use "other solvents" instead of "other strong resources".

On page 10 retreive should be spelled retrieve.

On page 3 there should be "they" before the word "crawled" and mysterious is misspelled (two r's).

On page 6 "reach" instead of "access".

Nice, can't wait to get them printed, as well as FF6 and FF4 manuals that Peach Waffles fixed for me.

BTW: I remembered yesterday one crazy thing I want:
http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=4102.0

BTW2: On page 3 mysterious is still misspelled with two r's,  but who cares  ::)

Oops, must of saved the psd and forgot to save a jpeg. Ill fix that.

As for the Secret of Mana 2 manual, you might be in luck. I recently bought an english manual of someone I found on ebay selling a complete copy of the game. I asked him if he could print a manual out for me. It ended up beeing a pretty shitty print so I scanned it and send the scans over to Peach Waffles to do what she could to improve it.

Now I cant speak for her but Id imagine that she could use those scans to make a REALLY nice manual, and since she already has scans from my english manual, translating should be greatly reduced. Not to mention artwork and screenshots wont really need as much work either. I could even help work on this with her if shes interested now tham Im using PS.

EDIT: Mr. Gimmick Manual is fixed.

NICE!

Just got e-mail from the seller, he said it might take up to 4 weeks before the game is here, although I think it will come sooner.

I will scan it then.

BTW did you notice that posted the Chip'n Dale 2 scans few days ago.
