Mario Paint

"Get this game!!!"

Let's get one thing straight here. This is a paint/music/animation program. You also require the SNES mouse. If you do not want something like this, turn around and walk away. Still here? Good.This game is really spiffy, but it's entirely awesome if you can find a Player's Guide for it. I found mine at Wal-Mart? Go figure. On with the review!!

Graphics: 8

What you make depends on your skill. But even with skill, you'll run into limitations. You can't make perfect replicas of game characters, etc. Some gradient effects would have been nice...

Sound: 9

You can make your own music... to an extent. You can't make half notes or whole notes. Just try to work around that Mozart! Seriously it's possible, especially if you have the guide. It would be nice if they added flats and sharps... And what about Bass clef?! That's all I know, as I play a Brass instrument.

Challenge:6

Too hard to really do what you want. They shouldn't have made the pens so cumbersome. Also, it's a pain making several litlle stamps. Lot's of frustation. However, it's easy if you have guide. Or if you just stick with the stuff that's included.

Gameplay: 10

It's just fun to doodle something on TV. Heck, I made a Mother's Day greeting on my TV! The flyswatting game is fun too.

Overall: 8

Dang this review is short... What? Oh, ahem. If you have about 15 bucks, and a Super NES, go out and get this game... Unless you have it. In that case why are you here? You should be playing Mario Paint!
