Play Mario Paint (Joystick) Online
Doodling with chunky pixel brushes and Mario stamps turns into accidentally spending hours on janky animations and making weird chiptune tracks—controls feel awkward with a joystick, but the charm’s still there.
Game Overview
Mario Paint with a joystick? Yeah, it's a little weird—this thing was clearly made for the SNES mouse. But once you get past the clunky controls, it's still that same wonderfully odd creative sandbox from 1992. You start doodling with chunky pixel brushes, dropping Mario-themed stamps everywhere, and before long you're trying (and failing) to make a decent animation with the janky flipbook tool.
The real magic is how ahead of its time this was. There's a full music composer where you drag notes onto a grid to make chiptune bangers, and Gnat Attack—that stupid fly-swatting minigame—somehow eats up way more of your time than it should. Everything's drenched in that bright, cheerful 16-bit style that makes even your terrible drawings feel charming. Just don't expect precision without the mouse.
It's less a game and more a toybox for messing around. I still fire it up sometimes just to hear the music maker's weird little sound effects.
