This starts the history of the Nintendo Power Super Power Supplies Catalog for Super Power Club members. These were separate catalogs periodically shipped with subscriber magazines and/or shipped individually. They offered Nintendo & Nintendo Power Magazine related items for purchase. Ordering had simplified pricing and bonuses were offered like Super Power Stamps which when mailed with your order gave you $1 off per stamp.
In this checklist (Blogger text and YouTube vids) the catalogs will be listed with approximate Volume #'s since subscribers sometimes got some of them different months depending on how they were shipped to them.

Illusion of Gaia Cut-Out Folding Display (With Coupon)*
Illusion of Gaia Explorer Handbook**
*This Cut-Out was either for the store POS countertop display, the newsstand edition of this volume or a bonus given to west coast subscribers? I had seen this on an old Nintendo Power checklist online and then found it later on eBay from a west coast seller. It is speculated that NOA (Nintendo of America) may have sent this bonus to west coast subscribers as they might've thought games like these (JRPG's) would've done better with west coast demographics. I, being in the midwest, did not get this bonus with the coupon, but just regular Super Power Club Certificate version of the coupon in my volume.
**This Handbook did not directly go to subscribers, but was rather packed-in with the game itself. Carrying the Nintendo Power name this thicker Handbook replaced the usual instruction manual that came with a game and may have been a way to cross-promote the magazine to those who bought the game. Nintendo Power being a marketing arm of NOA often did this to help promote "Japanesy" games they translated and published in the west.

Dear Nintendo Power Subscriber letter*
2008 Virtual Console Calendar**
*This is a letter from Nintendo Power Editor-In-Chief: Chris Slate. This is to inform readers that Nintendo was no longer going to publish the magazine and that Future Publishing was taking over. This letter had an ad for the ESRB on the back. Personal note: Future Publishing wasn't a good turn for the magazine: way more ads, many un-needed extra issues deluding the NP brand and to cash-in on the Wii & DS era, confusingly changing the difference between newsstand & subscriber volumes and in the end, running the magazine into the ground.

(Naruto Path of the Ninja 2)
*This begins a subscriber & collector's nightmare: Future Publishing decided to start making Subscriber & Newsstand Editions of the magazine going forward. The Subscriber Edition would have a white binding denoting it was the "Subscriber Edition" and would have a clean cover (no text, full artwork) with an organized contents, volume #, month & year box in the lower left corner while the Newsstand Edition would continue the black binding with content text/ads all over the cover. What makes this worse is sometimes the cover art was way different and it seemed Newsstand Edition's would have more extras while loyal Subscriber Edition's would not!
**it's made to look like a Nintendo Power mini-mag, but it's a 1 page folded advertisement
this volume must've come bagged to hold this loose pack-in, but I don't have the bag which probably means there was no special markings on the bag
