There was a lot of fun to be had playing around in Mario Paint.
The name's pretty decpetive though, because you could also make animations, music, find easter eggs, and partake in a fly swatting minigame.
It also came with a VERY interesting peripheral for the time, a mouse. It hinted at a future where SNES games would use different controller types, though that never really came to be.
Still, I had a lot of fun with it.

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
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
what a charming littel game
whn i say i am n1 mario lover i mean it the attatchment this game had On me means the world
this game is weird as hell but super charming and surprisingly in depth. if you have a snes mouse its a must own.
Good art, music, and kinda animation program
The SNES mouse actually does something now

Really fun and extremely different from other games.

Obrigado Mario pelo sonho de cursar artes
Hell yea mario paint
Meh
Though very antiquated and basic by today's standards, Mario Paint is a nice, comfy edutainment tool that had a profound impact on more creatively-inclined gamers in the early 90's, arguably still to this day to some degree thanks to its accessibility and simplicity that encouraged creativity bred from limitation. This is a game Bob Ross would probably have been proud of.
Charming little Art Software, not very practical nowadays.
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!

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, itās 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 wouldnāt 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 youāve 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 iām not gonna give it higher than 2.5 stars due to the nature of it.

i like the fly mini game when the hand gets stung and he screams
This aged extremely well! It's simple, fun for both kids and adults and is full of personality.
Clunky these days, but an incredible game to let kids be creative. Full of quirky touches that would later be seen in stuff like Warioware. Absolutely loved spending an afternoon as a kid redrawing sprites from Link to the Past and Super Mario World.
I owned this game as a kid, never actually played it because I never owned a SNES mouse, so I treated it as a VHS tape of sorts lol. Nowadays, I only really boot Mario Paint up for Gnat Attack and I love it a ton. The art program half of Mario Paint is still a pretty amazing thing today especially with music making.
Creativityā¦ imaginationā¦ these two elements are some of the driving forces behind the human mind and spirit, allowing many to create and share wondrous things for hundreds of years, and will lead to many other wondrous inventions in the years to come. Along with the many things made from these two elements, there have also been many different products made to help people express their creativity, whether they be tools to help you flourish in a specific field, or products that are primarily designed to allow you to create whatever you want, with the only limits being, again, your imagination. This also applies to video games, with there being plenty thatās sole purpose is to allow you to either make your own games, such as with Dreams and Game Builder Garage (you know, back when people still played those games), or just make whatever. One of the oldest, yet still enduring examples of these games that many still remember to this day would be with Mario Paint.
Somehow in the 23 years that I have been on this planet, I had never played Mario Paint until now, and I am not sure why. Maybe itās because I never owned a copy of the game or a SNES mouse, but seeing how many still use and create things with the game to this day, it is definitely something that I have been very curious about for a long time. So, I decided now was finally the time to start messing around in it to see how it is, and yeah, people werenāt kidding, this is a pretty great creation game. Sure, some aspects about it may be a little dated, but for an art game that was made over 30 years ago, it is impressive to see how much it has held up after so long, and there is a lot to appreciate and love about it.
The graphics are extremely basic for a SNES game, at least in terms of the interfaces and icons, but they still look good and have a lot of character to enjoy, the music is iconic, also being incredibly simplistic, but it gives off the exact vibes that this game needs, and gets you excited and ready to start making things, the controls took a little getting used to, considering this is the first time I have ever used the SNES mouse (even if it was through an emulator), but this didnāt take long to do at all, and it does help out a lot in being pretty precise with what you are making, and the āgameplayā does offer a lot more than you would initially think, allowing to express your creativity in many ways while creating plenty of memories along the way.
The game is an art creation game, where you are given access to several different means of creating things, with the first of these, of course, being your typical drawing mode. You can use plenty of different colors, patterns, and symbols, use many different sizes of pen, brush, and other tools like the paint bucket and eraser to use to create whatever you want, while also being able to erase them in plenty of creative ways. This may be the bare essentials when it comes to an art program, but again, for a game meant to allow younger players to make whatever they want, it is a lot to work with, allowing for plenty of variety in what you draw and illustrate. Not to mention, you can also animate these drawings as well using the gameās animation tool known as Animation Land. It isnāt as advanced as other animation programs, but even still, you can make quite a lot with it, and it could be used as a gateway tool for those who want to learn how to animate. I mean, hey, this was the game that was used to create the first Homestar Runner episode, so if that doesnāt tell you how much it could help a creator out, I donāt know what will.
Out of all of the programs though, one of the most impressive and long-lasting features in the whole bunch is the music composer. It is what it sounds like, you make music with it, and you are given many different tools to do so, such as with plenty of sound effects you can use, as well as the many different levels you can place them in to alter the sound to your liking. Once again, it doesnāt offer as much as many other music programs, but once again, the many different songs you can make with this program is limitless, and people have managed to make many different impressive remixes just from this tool alone. Seriously, if you just go onto YouTube right now and type in the name of a famous song followed by the words āMario Paintā, and 9 times out of 10, you will find a remix of it that was entirely made using this software. As for myself, I am not a musician of any kind, so I canāt use this tool to save my life, but for what it is worth, I do find the garbage I do slap together to be pleasing to the ears, so it works well enough for me.
But hey, if creating things isnāt what you are looking for, then thatās ok, because Mario Paint also offers a fully original game alongside everything else, and it isā¦ a fly swatter minigame. Yeah. You play as a hand holding a fly swatter, and your task is to simply swat all of the flies that come on the screen, whether they be big and dangerous or small and feeble, eventually leading up to you needing to swat this HUGE-ASS disgusting fly so that it explodes into a bunch of fly guts. It isnāt anything too complex, but again, much like the rest of the game, the simplicity of this mode, coupled with the music, looks, and sound effects make this one of the most enjoyable and memorable aspects about the game as a whole, to the point where it has been brought back in Super Mario Maker, as well as referenced plenty of times in plenty of other Nintendo games. Not to mention, it is pretty satisfying to swat all of these flies down, letting them know that they ARENāT WELCOME HERE!
As great as Mario Paint is though, as one could expect, it isnāt the perfect creation tool, but that isnāt necessarily the gameās fault. As time has gone on, there have been many different other programs or games that have come out that are primarily meant to be art tools, offering plenty of other tools to use to create whatever you want, some of which Mario Paint just doesnāt have. Once again, the amount you get is impressive, but it wonāt give you everything you need to create an artistic marvel, if you know what I mean. Also, as for me, while I do really love what we got hereā¦ Iām not really too into it. I have never really been into games where you āmake thingsā, and while I can have a good amount of fun with them for a bit, they definitely arenāt the games I come back to often at all. Iād rather have a pre-built adventure given to me rather then one where I can make my own, and I probably will feel that way about games until the day I die. But again, for what it is worth, I did really enjoy my time with Mario Paint, and I am glad that I finally decided to give it a shot.
Overall, despite its limitations and how I personally couldnāt get too into it, Mario Paint is one of the best art creation games from the early 90ās, giving players plenty of tools to use to create whatever they want, and still managing to find plenty using it and fooling around on it to this day. I would definitely recommend it for those wanting to just mess around with some art tools or a music maker, or even for those who just wanna play the fly swatter minigame, because it will manage to give you exactly what you are looking for, and it may even have you coming back for more. And since I donāt know any other way to end off this review, here are a few horrible pictures that I made using this program just for you allā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦. letās just hope that Future Mega remembers to add those links in here, or else I am gonna look like a huge fucking fool.
EDIT: I remembered, you blue bitch. Have more faith in me for once

Game #435
amava jgr isso e fazer musiquinhas
This game truly changed my lifeā¦ itās what got me into design, animation, and even mixing music at home. This was the origin to my creative enthusiasm for new hardware, and gadgets. When I posted this game onto social media, I then meet my partner that I've been with for almost 5 years now.
Pintar con Mariano
Quite the little sandbox, seemingly as much a novelty now as it was then. Might be partially responsible for some of us beginning to think beyond merely playing games to tinkering around inside games.
Making Bob Ross art on here is both a challenge and a satisfying experience. Music is the best for background noise.
I liked the part where you got to paint.
the funny
