The fourth tournament prize was the official Nintendo stationery set, Disk-kun case, white box, and letter. It included a mechanical pencil, scissors, tape measure, magnets, and hole puncher.
Two colors of the set are known to exist: yellow and white. The yellow set had “Nintendo” written on the items in the set, while the white set has “Disk-kun” written in Katakana. All the letters and promotion posters show the yellow set, so little is known about the origin or distribution of the white set.
From what is known, the stationery set (at least the yellow, and perhaps the white) was given to 10,000 people: 2,000 to the high scorers on each of three tracks and 4,000 in a raffle.
