The star of Adventure island is Master Higgins (known in Japan as Takahashi Meijin) and he has a regular islander girlfriend called Tina. Remember that name.
1.
When the first game was localized, the instruction manual changed the name of Higgins' girlfriend to Princess Leilani. This chubby raggedy character is dating a princess, who also looks as raggedy as him. Okay. She isn't really a princess though, and there's a problem with that name too: the game's own ending called her Tina!
2.
So for the sequel, the instruction manual tried to do damage control, and instead made it worse. The story states that Leilane is safe, but now it's her sister that has been kidnapped. Guess the sister's name? Tina!
The game's ending, again, says you rescued Tina which kind of matches the story in the manual, but it also shows Higgins and Tina hugging and kissing. So if Tina is allegedly the sister, why are they both making out?
3.
For the third game, whoever is witting the instruction manuals at Hudson must be climbing the walls going insane about the deep rift he has created in the lore. So instead of just coming clean, he now fucking changes the name of the girl to Jeannie Jungle! Here's a hint: it's still fucking Tina!!
4.
Now we come to Super Adventure Island. The manual says Higgins is still with Jeannie (who's really Tina). Okay, at least he was consistent there.
5.
The big F-U comes in Super Adventure Island 2. The manual says Higgins dumped Jeannie for Tina, even though the actual game (again) only shows Tina.
So according the manuals, he first hooked up with Leilani, then hooked up with her sister Tina, then dumped her for Jeannie, then dumped her for Tina. Even though they are all really Tina. Jesus Christ.
She has always been Tina, the games have always called her Tina, but the crackhead(s) that wrote the manual created a hodge·podge of philanderist relationships that caused a rift in the time-space continuum and no one noticed it until now. You know, Tina, we really are in the dark timeline.
