Sorry to bring this up, but the notes for Arthur Noid are a little strange.
There is nothing wrong with the instructions where it states: 32 levels plus bonus levels. It's not even classed as misleading in any way in the UK because it is a way of making you think there is more than there really is without being direct to the point, a trick used all the time to promote products.
As an example. You can read a menu in a restaurant where factual information of a meal could be, (with fancy wording) Stake & Fried Potatoes with Mushrooms and a selection of salads. A selection of salads being - plus bonus levels for Arthur Noid.
The selection of salads can be anything the restaurant wants it to be as they have not stated what the items of the salad will be. In the customers mind this allows them to wonder what they may expect to receive and being greedy as we are it is normally MORE in our minds. 
In general the customer will expect how BIG or small and the amount of offered salad the restaurant wishes to give. The UK people do not like to make a fuss face to face on how much they will be given, unless they are really taking the mickey mouse. So... people selling items can take advantage or be kind at the same time using this technique to state there is more without telling you how much.
So now Arthur Noid instructions read there are 32 levels, and in a nice way without being direct on the amount it is explaining there is MORE by adding plus bonus levels. More is good, more is greedy and if you get more than you were expecting then good for you! 
Arthur Noid's notes now become a fact. A fact of something we may not know and that is: The game has 32 levels including the 9 bonus levels.
I said I was sorry.
