| ==Legacy== | | ===''Mario Artist: Talent Studio''=== |
| Though the ''Mario Artist'' series, as well as the Nintendo 64DD as a whole, were seen as a failure, many concepts utilized within were later revisited and worked upon by [[Nintendo]]. Nintendo designer Yamashita Takayuki attributes his work on ''Mario Artist: Talent Studio'', namely its avatar creation tool, as having been foundational to his eventual work on the [[Mii]]s introduced in the [[Nintendo Wii]]. Some of these ideas were also implemented into ''{{wp|Wii Sports}}''. The Sound Bomber mode to ''Mario Artist: Polygon Studio'' is a direct precursor to the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, inspiring the games and series as a whole. All minigames featured within ''Mario Artist: Polygon Studio'' were implemented into [[Microgame|microgames]] in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''.
| | ''[[Mario Artist: Talent Studio]]'' (rel. Feb. 23, 2000) allows users to insert pictures from cameras and videos onto 3-dimensional models, and then animate the models. Also, using the Capture Cartridge, which this game was bundled with, movies could be recorded by running a video camera through the Capture Cartridge. Also, The concept of a personal avatar creator app as is seen in today's [[Mii]], is seen in Mario Artist: Talent Studio. Those avatars can be imported into the completely separate 64DD game, SimCity 64. Nintendo designer Yamashita Takayuki attributes his work on Talent Studio as having been foundational to his eventual work on the Mii. |
