Item Condition

Mario Paint is game + box: the original box with the game cartridge, the original SNES Mouse, and the Mouse Pad — everything you need to jump in and start creating. The manual is not included, which is reflected in the price, but everything else is here and accounted for. The cartridge has been tested by Coolection and was running just as it should.

Item Description

Few cartridges ever asked so little of the player and offered so much in return. Mario Paint did not give you a princess to rescue or a high score to chase. It gave you a blank canvas, a music staff and an animation reel, then got out of the way, and in 1992 that made the Super Nintendo feel like a completely different machine.

Nintendo built the whole experience around the SNES Mouse, and the original release shipped in a big box with the mouse and a mouse pad packed alongside the cartridge, which is why the bundle has become the classic way to own it. Point and click your way through a toolkit of brushes, patterns and Mario-themed stamps, design stamps of your own pixel by pixel, color in ready-made line art, or build short frame-by-frame animations that loop across the screen. Undo a mistake and Undodog, the game's cheerful mascot of second chances, pops up to wipe it away.

The music composer is the part that refused to stay in 1992. You drop little icons onto a staff, Mario heads and mushrooms and stars alongside barking dogs and meowing cats, and each one plays its own sound as the song scrolls by. It is simple enough for a child and limited enough to be a creative puzzle, and a generation of fans has since used it, along with fan-made recreations of it, to cover everything from classical pieces to entire game soundtracks online.

Then there is Gnat Attack, a fly-swatting arcade game where your mouse cursor becomes a swatter, and the title screen itself is full of hidden reactions waiting to be clicked. Mario Paint's creative spirit echoed for decades, right down to Undodog reappearing in Super Mario Maker. This is the original toolkit where a lot of players made their first art, music and animation, in the form Nintendo first put it on store shelves.
