Mario Paint

"One of the greats"

This little number is probably the best, most creative game for the snes or any system. I feel sorry for nintendo because they put so much creativity into one SNES cartridge and it didn't get the respect it truly deserved. The looney tunes animation studio and those other goofy games will never compare to this true one and only super nes painting games. When this came out I was surprised they even had the technology to do this for the snes.

Graphics 10/10 = For the snes the graphics are pretty standard, it might not exactly be donkey kong country but it doesn't even matter because you make the graphics! it's a painting game! If you tried, you could paint donkey kong! The icons ect. are quite similar to that of early snes mario games (mario world, all stars).

Sound/music 10/10 = The sounds and music are quite simple in most aspects of the game, but they give you your own music making option! From reviews I've gathered some people even spent most of there game playing time in the music making studio.

Gameplay **/** = The gameplay is simply amazing, but there's no end and there's no story so I can't give it a score but it's replay value will keep you coming back again and again! there is several options for painting and coloring including many pre made stamps (you can make your own, too) which can be placed on the picture. You can't make feature length movies just simple animations but in the end it's quite rewarding. You can make just 4-9 frames it's a challenge but it's all good fun! You can draw, animate and orchestrate!

Extras 10/10 = The game is the first to come with a mouse and I believe one of the only that ever will for a nintendo console system. It also comes with a little fly swatting game to take your mind off painting or making movies or music. The memory pack isn't the greatest you can make your own row of stamps and can save one overall, picture/movie/song. A few people complained that there should be more than one save allowed. Finally, there is a coloring book with pre made pictures for you to colour in or modify.

Replay unlimited = I always play this game and always will it gives me more of a kick then any other game to this date, in fact i only play the nes and snes and nothing beyond that.

conclusion = Not much else to say this game is great! many have enjoyed it including me, you'll like it even if your not creative or an artist, enjoy!
