Mario Paint

"Ah. Creativity at it's best"

At that time in the 90's Super Nintendo was still an active game system. In 1993 Mario was at an excellent Popularity level so they decided to take it to a new level and make something new,something different. They did just that and even though the game wasn't as popular as most other Mario games it will still be remembered as one of the first games giving you creative control over what you did. Instead of me talking about the era that will sorely be missed I'm going to give you the basics of the game and tell you if it is worth buying.

Point of the game- Make pictures and have fun at the same time without using messy paints or crayons.

Story ?/10- O.k there is absolutely no story to this game so I'm just going to tell you that if it's an indepth role-playing or adventure game your looking for then this isn't the game your looking for. You pretty much make stamps and draw.

Graphics 9/10- For being a Super-Nintendo game this game has some pretty good graphics. The way you create the stamps
determines if the graphics are good or not so it's up to you to make them good. The game also has some excellent looking pre made stamps just incase you can't animate that well.

controls 8/10- The controls can be sluggish at times because you aren't using a controller but a mouse instead.
You have two buttons a left and right clicker and to move the arrow on the screen you simply move the mouse to where you want the arrow to go.I suggest you keep it on the middle speed so it's not too fast and not too slow.

Music 9/10- Honestly the music in this game can really move you. It can fit the mood you are in excellently and bring out the artistic inspiration you need to make some great pictures,or for you to just listen to so you can calm down and peacefully relax.

Creativity 10/10- You have complete creative control over this game so as long as you have patience then you can make some of the best animations or pictures to ever hit the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Entertainment 10/10- As I have said above,as long as you have patience then this game can bring you great fun for hours on end and the game never ends so you have an eternity to play and create new things to your liking. There is also a very challenging game called Gnat attack included in this game thats very fun to play, so if you are kind of bored on a rainy day then Gnat Attack is just the game to bring out the fun and joy of your rainy day.

Where is this game available ?- You can probably find it at a flea market or just buy it over the web through an online auction at a relatively cheap price that wont empty your wallets or purses .

Is it worth buying ?- My personal opinion is that you should buy this game if you see it because you will have alot of fun. I'd think you could get it on E-bay for anywhere from $20.00 - $50.00. This game is sort of a rare game to find but it's well worth the time and patience to find it.If you are just aching to play it then just bid for or buy it on ebay to save you the hassle of trying to find it. So if you find this game you should buy it for some of the best fun you could get from a videogame.
