North American print ad for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This ad is notable for its inventive avoidance of a spoiler. (Spoilers follow if you have not played the game.) The map behind Mario is the finished version of the Magical Map, which can only be seen in-game 7/8ths the way through the story. Before this, the map is missing key locations, with the final location being a surprise reveal of a building on the moon. The ad positions the map in such a way that the top left corner is out of frame, thus not revealing the secret.
Unfortunately, the game’s cover then spoils it anyway, as explained in this post.
