'''''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'' | '''''Mario's Super Picross''''', also known as '''''Mario no Super Picross''''' in Japan, 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'' in the West, this sequel was 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, it was released on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii|Virtual Console]] in Japan. The game saw its first Western release in 2007 on the Virtual Console in the PAL regions, 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 both Japan and the PAL regions. However, subsequent Picross games of this era were never released in North America, most likely due to the poor reception of ''Mario's Picross'' on the [[Game Boy]]. | ||

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. | 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.

A two | 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. | ||

*Mario's Super Picross utilizes a "high resolution SD mode". While still constrained to the 224 lines of standard definition TVs, the horizontal definition of the images is doubled to 512 so that pixels twice as thin can be displayed. In order to better show such images on modern displays with square pixels, the horizontal lines need to be doubled to restore the apparent aspect ratio. This mode is only used for screens that use text to allow a higher level of detail to display the kana characters. The puzzles themselves and the menus are in the standard Super Famicom resolution, 256x224. | *Mario's Super Picross utilizes a "high resolution SD mode".
