Well, I think that's all I plan to translate for V-Tetris. The table of contents can be figured out based on what is written at the top of each of the corresponding pages, and the other information doesn't seem to be too important for today's usage.

Keep in mind, these are "preliminary" translations, so they can be improved on in the future. Plus, being that these are designated as "preliminary," I am hoping that something even better can be made from them. Namely, I am hoping that, eventually, an instruction manual that looks the same as the original and official Japanese one, but with English text, can be made. If anyone wants to begin working on this task using my English text, please feel free to do so. Otherwise, I may start tackling it myself once I finish the preliminary translations for the other 7 Japan Only games, which probably won't be for several months.
