Mario Paint is Now Available on Nintendo Switch Online

Great tidings for fans captivated by the Artist mode of Donkey Kong Bananza: The classic game, Mario Paint, has been made accessible on Nintendo Switch Online! First launched in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, this creative gem functions as a toolset for artistic pursuits and painting.

Additionally, you’ll find stamps, characters (originally from Super Mario World), animation software, and a musical creation tool at your disposal. There’s even a mini-game called Gnat Attack where you have to swat numerous flies, with the challenge level escalating as you progress.

Although it had a rather specialized appeal, the game known as Mario Paint managed to sell more than 2.3 million units. Interestingly enough, it influenced several designers who contributed to titles such as Earthbound. In fact, you’ll find many references to this game scattered throughout other Nintendo productions over time.

This game was released together with a specific mouse that’s necessary for playing. Just like classic Nintendo style, you’ll have to use a USB mouse that works with the Nintendo Switch to play it. If you’re using the Nintendo Switch 2, the built-in mouse controls on Joy-Con 2 are ideal.
