Does any one know where I can find the font for jump, P1/P2 start and controller?

It's not Arial Rounded Bold, but it's very close.

Try running the image through this:

I also use DaFont.com as a resource for downloading.

If it wasn't for the elongated "j" in jump I'd say it was a lite version of Helvetica Rounded. May be a proprietary Nintendo creationists no name.

This is a neat little tool that has helped me out of a pinch before.

The tool found some similar fonts but not as close as the Helvetica Rounded. If I could find a Helvertica Rounded narrow(or similar), that might work.

Helvetica is part of the default font set on all Macs, if that helps lead you in the right direction...

Here's a copy of 3 versions of the Helvetica round font that came with the Sims medievel game in the resources - ( Search found the ttf files on my system ) Might be useful
Also I have a couple HP fonts that includes a Helvetica narrow font.
