Hello, friends—your Sunday treat has arrived. This time, it's a high-quality video rip of a Mario Paint tutorial video, which appears have been produced by APE. There's some really interesting stuff in here—extremely high-quality Mario Paint images and music, of course, and some little snippets that almost feel like someone laying the groundwork for WarioWare microgames. Please enjoy, and activate subtitles to enjoy sneaky tips like "guide the mouse over someone else's drawing to copy it." Mario Paint: Ahead of the AI generative art curve by decades!

Mario Paint Official Video [4K VHS Rip]

A video rip of an official VHS tape showcasing cool things you can do in Mario Paint. The box art includes promises of Picasso, and lo and behold, there's "Guernica" in Mario Paint. Weird! But impressive what people could do with the game long before emulator hacking and save states became available. Recorded from a JVC Super VHS video deck and upscaled to 4K via Retrotink 4K. You may freely use portions of this video for your own work as needed! All I ask for my efforts in getting this material online is a small source credit in your video or footnotes.

Very cool to see. It seems you can draw a through line from the creative software/toy titles and Wario Ware. Mini games in Mario Paint on SNES, the then game mode in Mario Artist: Polygon Studio on 64DD which is literally Wario Ware without Wario characters.

I was very not prepared for the Mario Paint Official Video to move straight from ‘draw a tiger-cat!’ to ‘recreate Guernica’
