/v/ is having a lot of fun with Mario Paint. I can't remember the last time I actually had fun browsing /v/, they're posting a lot of funny OC.
Anyway, Mario Paint appreciation thread.
Did you play it back in the day?
I already had a PC with windows and loved using MS Paint, so Mario Paint was a godsend.
I spent a lot of time experimenting with all the tools. The only one I didn't use much was the stamp maker, I didn't have the patience to craft good pixel art, I enjoyed it more as I became older.
Here's a screenshot from the official JP nintendo website's page for Mario Paint. Some Nintendo employee is really good at doing PC-98 style 2D gals

amazing

Replacing all the notes in Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with cats

Magnificent

I wish I could get my Razer mouse to work. All I can get is a really shitty mouse that strains my hand to work.

>>11909628
Razer stuff isn't always class-compliant and requires drivers

I ferment remember my sister and her friend playing it. She was 6 years old then me.

Her friend played the musical part with cat meows. It was so funny to me I farted and they ran out of the room

Pretty impressive how well the NSO version works

Got a link to some of the threads, i wanna see some oc

I assumed since the snes could run DKC that it was at least as powerful as my 486 pc, a friend had mario paint.
The box made it seem like you could make incredibly detailed animations and movies.
Turns out you could make 3 pictures flash, after that I just assumed consoles had less memory or something I didn't understand.
They had that fly swatting game on an after school tv show, what a lame ass game compared to normal snes games that was, but I was impressed how smooth the mouse moved.
Recently found you can make pretty nice music compositions with it.

>Turns out you could make 3 pictures flash
You can choose between 3, 6 or 9 frames of animation.

>>11914498
You CAN make incredibly detailed animations and movies. The official player's guide even had a section showing you how to set up a VCR to record animations in chunks and a pretty in-depth tutorial on the process. So you could make shit like this if you wanted:

OUT OF 10!

I wish I had an SNES as a kid, I would have used Mario Paint a lot.

>>11914509
17 reminds me of Timeslaughter's title scree

>>11914970
just would have wished to have a pc to use proper painting software.

>>11914672
Even better.

Look visual fun than MK

Got it as a kid (thanks mom) with the mouse. I played a lot of the flyswatter game.

>>11915150
Holy based Time Slaughter mention! That game disturbed the SHIT outta me as a kid lol. It was on one of those 200 GREAT GAMES type shareware compilations

>>11906692 (OP)
Based, I should play it too.
>Some Nintendo employee is really good at doing PC-98 style 2D gals
I'm pretty sure that's an actual character that they redrew, but idk what she's from.

What did Nintendo mean by this?

Goddammit the timestamp doesn't work in the embed. Its 20:32.

>>11915543
One of the game's Japanese TV commercials has a few more.

>>11914672
Even better.

>>11915719
I'm quite positive based on the art style that this is from the Metal Slader Glory guy.

>>11914672
Even better.

As a zoomer what all was the appeal of Mariopaint? The various image making, animation and music making capabilities seem lacking for a paid program today but I think back then PCs were more expensive so anything that let you use the console you already have probably had some appeal. I can also see the variety being appealing so you don’t have to buy multiple programs. The lack of a proper PC’s storage seems like a pretty huge flaw though, and the decision to package the game with a mouse rather that a light pen would be really bad for drawing. I know the simplicity itself might be an appeal for some.

>>11915837
I had a PC at the time and I didn't have any program that let me do animation or music or sprites the way Mario Paint did. There probably was some program for kids but I didn't have any at least, I just fucked around on MS Paint, but Mario Paint had a lot more stuff.
Also the whole presentation of it was very appealing to me. I've seen some other similar games, like that one Looney Tunes one, but it was really poor compared to Mario Paint.
Also, Mario Paint did have a save feature, though I think space was very limited. Usually what people did to "save" drawings or animation was just record it on VHS.

They were, but PCs back then were nothing like you have now. Having a PC didn't mean you had resources on par with game companies and movie companies of that time. I had a PC but still loved Mario Paint because you could do more, and it was more fun. My PC had Paintbrush. It wasn't called "Paint" back then, just Paintbrush. It couldn't do music, or any kind of animation, or stamps, or different brushes, or have background music, or mini-games.

That was something that never occurred to me back then.

>>11915150
Man, western artists sure love to drawn individual teeth no matter how awful it looks, huh.

>>11914509
>Full screen frames
Huh? That wouldn't work with regular Mario Paint animation.

>>11914498
>that fly swatting game
>what a lame ass game
Dude, that fly swatting game is probably mouse-pointer centric game ever made. You could compare it to Windows 3.1 games of the time. It's also extremely hard after you get through the first couple of loops.

>>11915694
Don't worry, the timestamp worked. I saw the naked chick.

>>11916478
>Draw frame
>Record on VCR
>Pause recording after like a second
>Draw next frame
>Unpause recording
>Repause recording after about a second
and so on.

>>11916494
Like one of those flip books where u slightly alter each image then flip it like its in motion?

>>11916506
I mean yeah that's how animation works.

>>1191649
Hmm.. that was too clever for me as a small child.

Good shit.

None of my usb mice work. Do the joy con only work as mice in the holders?

>>11916462

I didn't have Mario Paint but I used a VCR to record save game passwords
