Mario Paint is an educational game that allows anyone to create simple pictures, paint over black and white pictures, or free draw their own using the specially developed SNES Mouse. The player can also create their own piece of music using a selection of notes and themes, create greeting cards and animations, or play a game of "Gnat Attack", where they use the mouse to control a swatter to swat flies.

Mario Paint is a blast from the past and way more than just a simple drawing program! It's got surprisingly powerful tools for making pixel art, quirky music composition with fun sound effects, and even the silly fly-swatting minigame is oddly addictive. It's definitely a product of its time and can be frustrating compared to modern creative software, but if you have a soft spot for retro charm and love to experiment, Mario Paint is still absolutely worth checking out!

Nintendo was really trying to make the SNES an entertainment system instead of just a game console. I'm as bad at drawing here (if not worse) than I was in MS Paint or other 90s PC drawing games, but I always had fun as a kid. And I've always loved seeing how many songs people recreate in the Composer
here is an image of mario i drew in the game, from the box art :D
surprisingly fun to fuck around in, even today in 2024. i mean, it does feel extremely clunky compared to just about any paint software, but still, it’s a chill little painting tool that i can imagine many kids had fun with at the time. but nowadays, i don't see why anyone would go back to it besides the novelty. for example, the tools for the paint mode occasionally wouldn’t work and that was a little annoying.
the music creator's cool too but i'm shit at making music so i didn't play around with it a bunch.
the addition of mini-games is dope, swatting flies is hella fun and addictive, especially when you’ve been playing fps games for over half of your life, provides a pretty fun pastime.
pretty fun little game/tool if you can get past the clunkiness of it, although i’m not gonna give it higher than 2.5 stars due to the nature of it.

super simple, and super fun. Draw, color, play some minigames, make songs, it's as much of a game as it is a tool to let your imagination out
