Mario Paint SNES commercial (US) (2)

The game allowed the user to create artwork using various tools controlled by a mouse (similar to computer painting programs like Microsoft Paint). Not only could the user paint and draw freehand, but colorless pre-made drawings could be displayed and then colored in using various methods similar to coloring books. Another feature included pictures that could be inserted with the stamp tool. Stamps of everyday objects such as the Sun and fruit were provided by default, and users could even make custom stamps pixel-by-pixel. Several publications, such as Nintendo Power, released how-to guides on how to create iconic Nintendo related stamps for use within Mario Paint. Besides just creating static pictures, a user could also make simple looping animations which could then be set to music created in the music generator. These animations painted by the user could only be viewed on a television screen, and while instructions were provided to users on how to record these to a video cassette recorder, there was no other way to export any of the work done in Mario Paint.

Mario Paint was rated the 162nd best game made on a Nintendo System in Nintendo Power's Top 200 Games list. Ironically, despite its premise in visual art, it is the musical side of Mario Paint that has perhaps had the longest-lasting legacy. Today, YouTube features hundreds of musical compositions conducted with the Mario Paint music program, or similar online programs like Mario Paint Composer that use the Mario Paint system, but allow for extended features. Some composers have even broken the original Beat Per Minute limit and recreated in detail famous heavy metal songs, like Master Of Puppets or Raining Blood. The first episode of Homestar Runner was animated using Mario Paint.
