Many thanks go to A Traveler for the incredible cataloging work he does for early Zelda publications. His efforts also ensure I have the correct information and text in Japanese.

And according to them the book jacket band has these Miyamoto quotes:

"I was going to complain because it ruined Mario's image, but...I was foolishly made to laugh before I could." -Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo Game Producer

マリオのイメージが壊れる！ので文句を言おうとしたが………うかつにもそのまえに笑わされてしまっていた。(任天堂ケームプロデューサー宮本茂)

"Yoshida Sensha's original Mario and Link are a little unusual. They have a different flavor from our licensed characters, but I'm actually a fan myself. There are many jokes in Sensha's humor that those of us involved in game development can relate to, and I'm always curious to see what would happen if he actually made a game. It would be a waste to keep him as just a manga artist." -Miyamoto

吉田戦車氏のオリジナルなマリオやリンクはちょっと変。当社のライセンスキャラクターとは異なる味わいを持っていますが、じつは私も一ファンです。戦車氏のギャグには、我々ゲーム開発に携わる者が共感を抱くネタも多数あり、実際にゲームを作ってもらったらどうなるのだろう、と興味はつきません。マンガ家にしとくのはもったいない。(宮本)

Oh! I found images of the band and quotes on a sales listing:

Yoshida Sensha work, before it was collected into this volume, originally appeared in the gaming magazine Famitsu | Famicom Tsushin | ファミコン通信 | Famicom Weekly.
