Mario's Adventure Marquee

While I was at Unigame for the closing down party, I was able to pick up a pretty interesting marquee. The game name on the marquee is Mario's Adventure, and it bears the Nintendo logo. Now you may be wondering what the hell this game is.... Well before Nintendo decided to call their arcade version of Super Mario Bros. the no so interesting Vs. Mario Bros, the game was to be called Mario's Adventure. There are flyers out on the Internet advertising the game with this name, but no mention of any marquee's. Allegedly this marquee and a small handful of others were created by Electrocoin, who were a UK based arcade manufacturer who licensed all manner of games. The marquee's were used at trade shows, to advertise the game pre-release. These marquee's, along with many, many other were passed on to the owner of Unigame when Electrocoin cleared their old stock. Anyway, here's what you came to see, a picture of the marquee:
