Mario Artist (series)

Mario Artist is the series of eight games for the Nintendo 64DD, released in Japan only. Of them, four were cancelled.

Mario Artist: Communication Kit (rel. June 29, 2000)
This game was an accessory to the other Mario Artist games. It allowed users to connect to Randnet's Net Studio, so users could share their creations in the other Mario Artist games with others. Unfortunately, the RandNet only ran for little over a year.

Mario Artist: Paint Studio (rel. Dec 1, 1999)
This game is similar to Mario Paint, but with more features. It was one of only two launch titles for the 64DD. Images could be imported from video tape or a Game Boy Camera using the Nintendo 64 Capture Cartridge.

This game often came bundled with the Nintendo 64 Mouse.

Mario Artist: Polygon Studio (rel. Aug. 29, 2000)
This game allows users to construct and render 3-dimensional polygons, as the name suggests. This was the last Mario Artist game released. The game includes a special mode called Sound Bomber, where the player has to win as many microgames as possible, all of them featuring the player's polygon model in some way. This mode is the precursor to the WarioWare series.

Mario Artist: Talent Studio (rel. Feb. 23, 2000)
This game allows users to insert pictures from cameras and videos onto 3-dimensional models, and then animate the models. Also, using the Capture Cartridge, which this game was bundled with, movies could be recorded by running a video camera through the Capture Cartridge.
