Notes
The English text is the same in the North American and PAL versions.
In Reality
The Japanese version's title is "ザ・ワールドの歩き方 (Za wārudo no arukkata)," which can be translated as "How to Walk Around 'The World'." This is likely a reference to a series of tourism books by the same title.
The Korean version can be translated as "All About 'The World'."
The North American English version of the article is a reference to the For Dummies media franchise consisting of reference books about a wide variety of topics. The books are intended to be non-intimidating guides targeted towards total beginners. The first book in the series was released in 1983. In 1991 the first of the on-going series was published. Initially the series focused on software and technology before including general topics like hobbies. The PAL versions follow North American version's lead by including the reference to For Dummies series. As of the current date, the series has reached worldwide success and have had subsequent releases across a variety of languages. However, the book titles differ for some of the PAL translations when compared with reality.
