Before you buy
This came out in Europe, so buy the European cart. It is among the cheapest carts in the European-only group, so condition matters more than price. The game saves to a battery inside the cart, so check that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair, not a sign of a fake. Look for the manual in a complete copy.
