Important listing notes

- This sale is for the exact item pictured. The seller’s supplied contents state: "Complete in box (all original components)" — I have reflected that in this description.
- Physical condition described above is based on visible wear in photos: case insert creasing, back insert wear and light yellowing of the manual.
- Functionality: cartridge appears genuine and label is intact; I have not run the game. If you need the game tested in a DS prior to purchase, please ask before buying.
