The Greatest Non-Game Game Ever
Mario Paint was the very first game that ever had my name on the package and given to me. This was a 1995 Christmas gift. It was awesome since it came in a bigger box in order to enclose the plastic mouse board and mouse... Read Full Review

Besides the music creator and Gnat Attack mini-game, Mario Paint is just a glorified Windows paint program.

An ...interesting... take on the Mario franchise....
Apparently, Mario is a plumber, the savior of the Mushroom Kingdom, and a freelance artist. Mario Paint is extremely simple and easy to control. You pick a color or pattern, then draw with the mouse. That's basically it.... Read Full Review

Not much of a game, but has cool drawing capabilities for such an old game.
This game uses a mouse instead of a controller. You can use a wide variety of tools to create your own images. It's cool if you like drawing. There's also a couple of other things that are fun. There is a music section w... Read Full Review

Its different, but does that mean that its great? Not really, but it is in a genre all its own.
