Mario Paint

Mario Paint is a video game released by Nintendo in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is packaged with the SNES mouse peripheral.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Aside from being a drawing utility similar to Microsoft Paint, Mario Paint also features several other modes.
 * 2) A very interactive title screen, with each letter causing a different effect on the title screen.
 * 3) * Pressing the letter O causes the screen to explode, then the Easter egg song called Totaka's Song begins to play.
 * 4) The player can also create their own animations with "Animation Mode".
 * 5) 60 different textures, 75 different stamps, and 15 customizable stamps.
 * 6) There is also a minigame named Gnat Attack, which takes full advantage of the SNES mouse.
 * 7) The player is also able to create their own songs with "Music Mode", featuring several unique instruments, including the Game Boy.
 * 8) * The Music Mode also became a viral hit and was recreated as a Windows program. It also adds the ability to save music, and even more instruments than the SNES version.
 * 9) Mike Matei of Cinemassacre fame used the program to recreate the opening of the original 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. See it here.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It takes a very long time to save one piece of art (approximately one and a half minutes), although the music is really catchy.
 * 2) * Also, due to limitations, you can only save one work at a time. If you want to save another one, you have to overwrite the last one.
 * 3) Mistakes can only be undone once. Pressing undo again redoes your mistake.
 * 4) Animations with more frames take up a smaller size. The largest animations can only be two frames, while the ones with nine frames are the smallest.

Reception
AllGame gave for Mario Paint a 5/5, calling it "perhaps the most ingenious and inspired idea Nintendo ever came up with for a product."
