5.0 out of 5 stars Mario Paint, February 1, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars

I didn't even know what this was until I bought it, and I love it. I see a lot of similarities between Mario Paint and Photoshop. The main difference is that Photoshop has a lot of weird tools I don't understand, and Mario Paint has more than just "Paint" stuff. The intro is interactive, it has a Mario-themed music editor, and it has a Swat-the-Bug game. You can do lots of kool stuff with Mario Paint.

Considering when it came out, Mario Paint was actually fairly forward thinking. It's primarily based on a painting and drawing skill set, but the game has around 8-10 modes or screens, and you can do different things on each one. Some are more complicated than others. The basic mode is a blank screen which you can fill with just about anything (the game has a bunch of colors you can use, a ridiculous amount of patterns and tons of small graphics of cats and fences and cars and a ton of other stuff so that you can create a totally individual 'painting' of a city, forest, space thing, whatever. Probably the most simplistic one is like a coloring book with 4 or 5 already drawn images which you can fill in, again, with regular color or the patterns of stars or cats or anything. You can get some funny results.

There's three things that really were pretty cool though, again, considering when it came out. You can make really basic animations in the manner of a flip book--you make six or so pictures and change just enough that when they're flipped through things look like they're moving. Very basic, but it's also fairly tricky, getting it to look right. Next, there's the music creation mode. Here there's just a catalog of different sounds (some of them are tones like music and some of them are out there, like pig grunts) and you get a blank music scale to fill up with your preferences. There are a couple demos, so you can see how meshing the different sounds really does create music--they've got the mario theme song (of course) and twinkle twinkle, and both of them are really fun. You can also put your composed song to your animation so that you have a very short little movie with sound. My personal favorite, however, is the flyswatter game. The sounds are cute, and it's so simplistic as to seem stupid, but it's extremely addictive.

A lot of the things Mario paint can do were pretty cutting edge at the time, and even now, there simply aren't a lot of games which you can do this sort of creatively-based stuff on. There are expensive computer programs now, obviously, but for a game you just pop in the SNES? Not so much. However, despite the era it was born in, the graphics don't hold up so hot and it's a Mario tie in, which means a lot of stuff is a little cutesy, which doesn't hold up particularly well outside of the traditional Mario format. For that matter, other than the look of the game and a coloring book pic of Yoshi, it's hard to see how the rest of the game has anything to do with the Mario world.

What it all comes down to is that Mario Paint is exactly as much fun as your creativity will allow--if you're willing to become a perfectionist and really try to make something as developed as possible, you'll be absorbed for hours. However, a lot of folks simply aren't entertained by having to develop stuff using only their imagination, and if you're the type that gets bored easily, you should perhaps spend your money elsewhere.
