I got it when it came out (I think) and it didn't cost as much as the above, but if I remember well, 200.

I believe it was somewhere in the 190 to 200 range, if I'm not mistaken.
(Although I probably am, but meh)

Oh, it wasn't Wikipedia that said that, it was some ROM site. Never mind.

When I lived in L.A, my mom, said that she found a wallet, and it had $200 bucks in it, and she was going to buy a dress, but instead she bought me the Snes, and it came with a mario game, although, I don't remember the wallet part, and I don't think I saw her find it.
