Mario Paint: Difference between revisions

[[File:mariopaintmusicmode.png|thumb|Music mode]]

In addition to creating visual works of art, the player can also create their own songs in Music Mode. Using a set of stamp icons to represent different instruments, they can be placed along a music score, creating a melody. Songs can be written in 3/4 or 4/4 time. The game has three default songs, one of which remixes the main ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' theme by [[Koji Kondo]]. The songs created here can be used in Animation Mode. Undodog also appears in this mode helping players undo previous actions.

==Reception==

''Mario Paint'' was rated the 162nd best game made on a Nintendo System in ''[[Nintendo Power]]'''s Top 200 Games list.

Instead of being delivered in Flash format like the rest of the series, the first episode of {{wp|Homestar Runner}} was animated using ''Mario Paint''. A primitive introduction video made with ''Mario Paint'' can be found in the museum of the site. A later short in the series, ''Strong Bad is a Bad Guy'', was made using ''Mario Paint''.

*'''Mario Paint BS Ban''' ('''マリオペイントＢＳ版''') is a version of ''Mario Paint'' which had joypad support. For this release of the game, a ''Mario Paint'' contest was held, in which contestants of exceptional ''Mario Paint'' artistic skill made artwork pieces.<ref>[http://www.ncn-t.net/yulil/satella/drama/vol1.htm info on the entries of the ''Mario Paint'' contest, in Japanese]</ref> This contest was held in November 1997.<ref>[http://www.f3.dion.ne.jp/%7Ekameb/satella/st_kbn/st_kbn7b.htm Satellaview History Museum lists events from November 1997, including the "Mario Paint Contest"]</ref>

*'''Mario Paint Yuushou Naizou Ban''' ('''マリオペイント優勝内蔵版''') is similar to ''Mario Paint BS Ban'', but it also has a hidden picture - identified as "Dreaming of the Moon" ('''「月を夢見て」''') by Mizota Hiroko ('''溝田 祐子''') from the ''Mario Paint'' contest - which can be found by using the "Load" option in "Save/Load/Coloring Book".

The baby face also occasionally appears in the background of the polygon viewer and makes its signature noise when clicked on.

*''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'': A [[Mario Paint (WarioWare: Touched!)|microgame]] based on ''Mario Paint'' appears in this game.
