In Search Of... Promotional Box Art

JumpmanOnce upon a time in late 1989 and early 1990 there was a promotional piece of art for Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. 3.  It was an temporary box art that was displayed in stores before the game's release in North America and looked a lot like the final box art except that Mario was depicted as a poorly-drawn evolution of his early Jumpman persona from the old CBS Saturday Supercade cartoon instead of the more familiar plumber we all know and love.  Quite frankly, this box art was downright ugly.

And I'm looking for it.

Numerous online searches have turned up nothing.  If you have a picture or scan of this artwork, I would appreciate it if you e-mailed it to me or posted its URL in the comments.  Thank you.
