Mario Paint ( final version) received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which on 5 May 2021 was archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article. |
The article keeps treating it like a game ("gameplay" etc.), whereas it is an awful paint and music composition tool. Yes, I know there's a minigame on it, but that's not the main part since they called it "Mario PAINT". Can I change the article so it shows that it's more of a half-assed application? 188.60.224.117 ( talk) 09:22, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Can we have a source for the 50 Cent statement? I just Googled it, and couldn't find any source other than us for it. Snowspinner 22:57, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
"Mario Paint is also being made for the Revolution and the Nintendo DS." Is this verified? I'm crossing my fingers. Also, should there be a mention of the Mario Artist series? CrossEyed7 15:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
A productivity application? Really? More like edutainment, if anything. Opinions? -- Shinyplasticbag 05:24, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
This "Spong" web site doesn't seem legitimate enough to be sourced. I'm taking the link to it and references to it out for now, unless somebody can find a more official source.-- The Ninth Bright Shiner talk 04:43, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
The current source for the Mario Spraypaint game seems sketchy as well. The link claims to cite a press release from Nintendo, but I can't seem to find an official press release link anywhere. For the moment, I have re-written the article to exclude mention of a DS title (since I can't find any reliable source on the matter) and have re-worded the sequel section to sound as though it is coming from a reliable source. Unless I can find some solid information in the next few days, I'm considering pulling the source and maybe making a mention that the game is possibly under development citing more reliable sources that speculate this sort of information. - HumanZoom 12:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm removing the part about the third music demo being like the Onett theme from Earthbound. They sound nothing alike. You can go to vgmusic.com to listen to both songs and compare. Tbkgm79 00:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
This game/application has a purpose, especially the 'Gnat Swat' game. It teaches and improves mouse skills through practice. Games for the purpose of teaching hardware skills is not that uncommon. The SNES Super Scope came with a similar application to teach users about the extra features besides 'point and shoot' that were unique to the Super Scope. The puzzle game forced the players to use a level of precision that previous gun games were not capable of, as game pieces behaved differently based on where they had be struck. Also most of the games were designed to ween the players off of the 'tunnel vision' style of tracking targets that was common with previous gun games. Those could only have a few targets on screen at a given time (a maximum of 6 if I recall). The SNES and Super Scope didn't have the same limits on targets and could theoretically have 229,376 at once. Each level of each game slowly added more simultaneous targets. Xbill on *NIX systems is included in tutorials to teach mouse skills. Apple ][ computers had several games that loaded during tutorials that taught users about the open apple and closed apple keys by having sort the corresponding apple types with said keys. I remember a tutorial that included a game to train users in Koalapad skills. Mac OS has a gamelike multimedia presentation to teach basic mouse skills. And of course there are many typing games that teach the use of standard keyboards. A few calculators have had games to train users in numeric entry, virtually the same concept as the typing game.
My question is. In putting these type of games into a category, what should this category be called? I know sub categories could be 'mouse games' and 'typing games' but what should the main category be called?
'Games that teach hardware skills'
'Games that teach interface skills'
'Hardware Edutainment'
'Interface Edutainment'
?

"Nintendo Power magazine held contests centered on the creativity exhibited by Mario Paint users, and received a healthy amount of individual submissions from children and adults alike."
Reception is what people thought of the game. This isn't what people thought about the game. I'm changing the section title. Doppelganger E 01:53, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Anyone know who did the music for this game..its all very good..The fly game especially. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.149.38.8 ( talk • contribs)
This article claims that there are 30 available colors, but I recall there being only 15, all of which are displayed in the picture in the article. -- Brandon Dilbeck 22:20, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
In fact, there are only 11 Colors and 4 Shades of Grey! Although there are some Textures which try to simulate a color, the information in the article is incorrect -- 91.15.237.157 ( talk) 10:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Mairo Paint BS is more like a rerelease, than remake. It's the same game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.8.232.66 ( talk) 10:39, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
The article mentions that the DSi system has a music composer similar to Mario Paint's composer. I disagree; during music playback on the DSi, you can hit the L and R buttons to cause sound effects, but the only thing remotely similar between this feature and MP Composer is that some of the sound effects might be loosely similar. I'm of the opinion that we either amend or remove this statement from the article. Cinderlei ( talk) 04:05, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
There is a lot of information about Mario Paint Composer that isn't yet covered here. I think it should have it's own page, with information about things like soundfonts, and improvements from Mario Paint (the music making part) anybody think it's a good idea? Yellow1996 ( talk) 20:32, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Should we mention the homebrew game, Mario Paint Composer DS? Yellow1996 ( talk) 22:56, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
