Parutena no Kagami (Kid Icarus) was volume 21 of the Wanpakku Technique series of books that served two purposes: an enhancement of the game's story and a strategy guide. As you can tell from the video, most of the story takes place in the first world, with the second and third especially winding up very short. That's because in the first world, most of the game play mechanics and strategies were explained. So there was not much to say after that other than the stage layout and enemies Pit encounters. Still it's a very fun book and if I can find more volumes featuring other games, I will be bringing them here. They are kind of expensive and hard to find, so I'll be looking for when a good deal pops up.
