comment
Mario Paint was released in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was the first game to use the SNES Mouse peripheral, and came bundled with it.The software isn't really a game so much as an art tool: there's making images using brushes, stamps, and patterns; creating animations; creating music (which could be used in the animations); loading pre-defined images to color or edit in any other manner; and creating custom stamps. Mario Paint also had a well-known minigame called "Coffee Break" (also referred to as "Gnat Attack" in the manual), in which you had to swat flies to progress through the level, going on forever until you lost all of your lives from getting hit by the flies. This minigame would later be featured in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$.It is worth noting that the first animated Homestar Runner cartoon was animated using Mario Paint. note  They went back to using Mario Paint for the toon 'Strong Bad is a Bad Guy' and for short clips on Twitter during 2018. They attempted it for the site's 20th anniversary short film in 2016, but stopped after realizing how tough it was with just animating one character.This game has a few Spiritual Successors, such as the Mario Artist series for the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, WarioWare D.I.Y. for the Nintendo DS, and Super Mario Maker for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.Any videos of the music-making program can go here.

Cartoon Bomb: Some screens have a cartoon bomb on the exit button. The bomb button lives in the lower-left corner. The "O" on the title screen becomes a bomb when you click it.

Easter Egg

Easter Egg: On the title screen, clicking certain letters would cause certain things to happen, such as clicking the letter "P" to make grass, trees, and a bunch of other objects appear; or clicking the letter "O" to hear Kazumi Totaka's secret song. The Super Stars that also fly across the screen occasionally also contain one, if you're fast enough to click one. The game out of the box came with a pre-saved painting of a vintage car.

comment
Interactive Start Up: The game opens on Mario running across a Blank White Void with the title in a simple black font, an unusual lack of colour for the franchise. Clicking on each letter activates various gags, from shrinking Mario and powering him back up, dropping the letter A on his head, inverting the colours and sending the music into Uncommon Time, and briefly summoning Yoshi, to the letter P drawing out a whole clickable scene using the in-game stamps (clicking the icons makes sounds, though not the same as the instruments for the game's music tool), playing the in-game credits, and letting you paint the screen with a rainbow-checkerboard fill.

comment
Developer's Foresight: There's an error handler programmed in that pops up if an image somehow exceeds the exceeds the save RAM limit, giving you a Data Overflow error. The compression is typically good at keeping the save compact, so the error can only realistically happen if you deliberately made your canvases exceedingly complex.
