I think I spent more time with Mario Paint when I was a kid than any other video game I've ever played. It really had no reason to be anything like as good as it was, or as full-featured. The music was incredible (even the sample sheet music!), the tools were incredible, and still hidden features and Easter eggs permeated the whole thing. In retrospect I'm sure it was a bigger project Nintendo was working on to make the SNES a more general-purpose tool in people's homes at a time when most families couldn't afford a computer. Whatever. So many good memories brought back by this! Especially this. It's just joy in music form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dkSZPP49bI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dkSZPP49bI
