Until now that is....
So, sorry it's taken me eight months, but let's go on to page two, shall we?
Here is a photo of the Magic Key Mansion instruction sheet, page 2 (from my personal collection):
I know it's hard to read such tiny print, so I've taken close-ups of the top and bottom halves of the page. Here's the top (click on the picture to view a larger image):
Since it may still be hard to read, here's what it says (starting at the top of page one, working to the bottom of the first column and then back up again and down the right side):
Find Pink House.
Find Porch Roof and Battery Box (Bagged Separately).
