What is the Limited Edition like for the U.S? I had not opened the game until today and it seems  that they have sent me the 'L.E' version. This comes in a 'Money Box' decked out like a standard Wii case (but twice as thick). Opening that, there is a cardboard version of case inside with a blurb saying "Tutorial DVD included, Learn how to play the game", in the top left corner. Opening the cardboard box reveals the 'proper' white plastic game case and a cardboard sleeve (looks like the ones AOL used to give away to me  ;)) with the DVD plus something else (dont want to break its seal) AND a poster detailing all the moves. Seems a bit of a packing overkill to me, the cardboard box and plastic case are almost identicle. The whole thing has a 'russian doll' type effect when opening it. Just wondered whever the U.S was the same or if they came up with something different for you chaps.

Nope, that's the standard version for you guys. The USA just got a normal Wii case and full color disc (the standard for the past year or so).
They thought that the European region needed a tutorial DVD included with the game. I have no idea why.

Last paragraph.

(In the process of responding to this thread, almost done) Had you not told me about it, I would have never found it.

Mastering the art of Mario is obviously more tricky for Euros, Ozzies and Japanese people. ;) The pack states that the DVD is 24 mins. That's a pretty long tut to sit through! After doing a little diggiing, it seems the money tin is a limited release gift for the E.U only. Better be carefull with it then, may be worth something one day.

As far as I know, the only special edition we've got here in the US is a hardcover strategy guide. Then again my friend could have just gotten that as a preorder bonus, I'm not sure.

A friend of mine got the hard cover quide too. Dont think its a preorder bonus, just a limited edition.

See, we Americans aren't any better at the game. Instead of giving us a tutorial DVD they just said "screw it" and threw us a whole strategy guide. ;)
