Mario Artist: Paint Studio

Mario Artist: Paint Studio is a Japan-only game released on December 1, 1999 for the failed N64DD, as part of the Mario Artist series. It was one of the only games released for the system and was never popularized as a result. Mario Artist: Paint Studio worked like the earlier title, Mario Paint, in that players used different paint tools to draw images. Frequently bundled with the Paint Studio was the Nintendo 64 Mouse controller, which made painting on the game similar to painting on a computer. Pictures of famous Nintendo characters could be used and manipulated on screen, and additional images could be imported from video tape or a Game Boy Camera using the Nintendo 64 Capture Cartridge.
