The Magic brush appears as an item in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', though it is known as the '''Mustache Pen'''. It is a lock-on item, much like the [[Tub]]. Upon being hit by a Mustache Pen, a racer loses speed, and their portrait is obscured by silly graffiti such as a mustache or lips. A variant of the Mustache Pen known as the Triple Pen exists—this item allows the player to shoot three Mustache Pens in succession, though these do not lock on and can be fired only in a straight line, much like the [[Green Shell]]. | The Magic brush appears as an item in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', though it is known as the '''Mustache Pen'''.

In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', the brush is Bowser Jr.'s bat. When he uses his [[Star Swing]], [[Graffiti Swing]], Bowser Jr. twirls his brush around and creates a duplicate paintball. Both balls are then hit into the air, with the duplicate landing first and exploding; whoever is around the duplicate when it lands gets briefly stunned. When he uses his [[Star Pitch]], [[Graffiti Ball]], Bowser Jr. coats the baseball in goop before pitching it, blocking the batter's vision with goop.

Bowser Jr.'s minigame, [[Graffiti Runner]], also features the Magic brush, with four people competing for the brush to coat the floor in their respective color. The brush has a limited amount of paint, and when it is depleted, the brush is forced to be dropped, though it can also be knocked away. | ||

The Magic | The Magic brush makes an appearance in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' sub-mode of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. Bowser Jr. wields it when changed to ranged-type and uses it to sling paint at enemies. [[Morton Koopa Jr.]] had it under his possession for a while without Bowser Jr. knowing, causing the latter to scold him upon discovering this. | ||

In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', Bowser Jr. uses the Magic brush in all his post-hole animations except for par. He spins the brush around, splattering paint everywhere, and [[Fourth wall|spreads it on the screen]] when he gets an eagle, albatross, hole-in-one, or bogey. | In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', Bowser Jr. uses the Magic brush in all his post-hole animations except for par.
