Mario Paint
Mario's MIDI controllerGenre: educational - n/a
Publisher: Nintendo
Year: 1992
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Control is done exclusively with the mouse which gives exact placement so long as you can keep a steady hand. It feels more haptic than the d-pad. Well designed menu allows you to seemingly switch between painting, stamping, and animating. It feels like a single cohesive canvas, unlike the ACME and Fun n Games titles.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Modes include Painting, Music, the Fly Swatter Game, and Coloring Book. Coloring is supremely disappointing as there are only 4 pictures and only one that is Nintendo themed. Fly Scatter is fun and frantic. You can make your own stamps which gives a lot of flexibility and creativity. Can only save one picture and song at a given time which really limits the longterm replayability.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Nintendo only relies on Mario a little bit to make this game feel like a special place to be. It has an special feel all its own.
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Very clean and simple, as you would hope for an authoring tool.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
The music and sound effects are arguable the best thing about this game.
Overall Score: 70
