This was a Patreon-voted topic and i'll be honest, I wasn't sure how to make this video. But you know what they say: Limitation breeds creativity! This is my first video to feature prominent interviews, and the insight they provide paints a wonderful story.
I'll be back soon with an update video. But for now, please enjoy The Story of Mario Paint!
God damn dude, your videos are amazingly wholesome! Never miss one. Keep up the great work! 🙂
3:57 Is that Mr. LGR?
Yes! You got LGR in the video!
Loved this video!
Thank you for your work! The production quality keeps going up and up! Great job!
39:08 THAT'S ME I'M IN THE VIDEO!
In all seriousness it was cool to see people and work I recognize in this video.
I've never played with Mario Paint and until I watched this video I had no idea it came with a mouse even though I did have an SNES back in the day but I was an adult at the time so maybe I thought the program was for kids.
Mario Paint is a game that I really wish Nintendo would remake for the Switch. I loved how it blended drawing, animation, music, and pixel creation into one package. However, I was always annoyed at the lack of colors and the limitations on what you could save as I was used to using PC art programs. I've always wanted a greater range of sounds in the music editor both in the instrument choices and the range of notes.
The various footage you have in this video is worth the greatest praise. I can't tell you how many times I see generic stock footage and art in other videos desperately trying to hold my attention but with barely any relevance, but the stuff you're showing is all meaningful and interesting. Very well done!
4:40 lol this has to be AVGN. A star is born.
Great job putting this together, Norm. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of revisiting my memories with the game and talking about its impact on my life, which I can also see has had on others as well. I am also happy to see that the struggle was real among other Mario Painters who had to deal with cleaning the mouse ball far too often. 😀
It's my birfdaaaaayyyyyy!!!
Great video! I loved Mario Paint when it came out. I was a junior in High School. My brothers and I would create all kids of stuff with it. I created some Street Fighter II characters and tried to recreate the characters in Phantasy Star IV from images in a magazine before the game was even released.
24:53 "Douglath.. You Broke my grill?!? It was very expensive "
My brothers and I would play this for hours, if not days. But we borrowed it from a friend, and he wouldn't let us borrow the mouse.
As such, the idea of playing Mario Paint with a mouse is totally foreign!
I'm glad channels like these exist so I can be introduced to all these games I didn't know about as a kid.
What an incredibly quality content, as always.
Who is disliking this
We need this game to be optimized to use iPad. It would be amazing! Full use of pencil and game.
I used to make songs in the song editor and then hold ym tape recorder up to the TV speakers so i could save them ToT
Another good one in the books Norm. I really enjoyed it.
when you realize mm2/1 are just Wii u/switch remakes of Mario paint ?
really even the undo dog ? is in this game!
like=agree
I hooked up my SNES into my VCR and would record seconds images of Mario part art I would make short stories with some limited animation.
Dang, I remember playing "Gueass what I'm drawoing" at Summer camp in the 90s on Mario Paint. Simpler times.
You keep getting better. Thanks for your videos
Errata. 26:50 doom snes didnt have mouse support. At least not the leaked source coded mvg just analyzed.
Was that a clip of The Angry Video Game Nerd as a kid?
I think that was from one of his videos.
Great video as always.
You have to sell a kidney to buy one of those computers! 7:16
Please make that guy put a shirt on
Someone sounds like LGR.
Where is the credit for LGR?
I love how they reference it in Mario maker
LGR voiceover cameo!!! This and LGR and two of my fav YouTube channels!!!
What's with all the beta males?
my prediction: nintendo wanted to make a mouse controller for the snes. the made a painting game. they called it mario paint for marketing. if im right then this would only be 20 seconds
26:23 Laughing Joking Numbnuts at it again.
I love that the kid getting angry clip is a childhood clip of the AVGN.
yay new game historian i miss and own mario paint, can't find my mouse though
Nice video!!!
