Mario's Super Picross

Line 15:

'''''Mario's Super Picross''''' is the first sequel to the [[Game Boy]] game, ''[[Mario's Picross]]'', and can be played on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]]. After the commercial failure of ''Mario's Picross'' internationally, this sequel was initially released only in Japan in 1995. The game plays much the same way as the first, except [[Wario]] appears in it and presents his own set of special rules, which also return in the [[Picross 2|sequel]].

In 2006, ''Mario's Super Picross'' was released on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii|Virtual Console]] in Japan. The game saw its first international release in 2007 on the Virtual Console in Europe and Australia, albeit untranslated. It was later released on the [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in 2013, and the [[Nintendo 3DS#New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL|New Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in 2016, in Japan, Europe and Australia. Subsequent Picross games of this era up until the game was announced for release on [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]] on September 23, 2020 were never released in ~~North America~~, most likely due to the poor reception of ''Mario's Picross'' on the [[Game Boy]].

Line 27:

Each set has 11 levels with 12 puzzles each, except Wario who has a hidden twelfth "Ultra" level with eight puzzles, which is unlocked by clearing Mario and Wario's special level. After Wario's ultra level is cleared, EX puzzles are unlocked for both Mario and Wario. There is a total of 300 puzzles in the game and puzzle sizes range from 5x5 up to 20x20 and 25x20, the latter being new additions to the series.

A two player mode exists in the game as well. By performing any input on a second controller, a second player is entered in to the game, and players can then solve puzzles cooperatively. This feature would later return in ''[[Picross 2]]'', ''[[Picross NP]]'', and ''{{plain link|1=[http://www.jupiter.co.jp/e/switch/picrosss/index.html Picross S]}}'' in which players can cooperatively solve puzzles or compete to fill the most squares.
