'''''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]] 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 in 2013, and the [[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]].

[[wikipedia:Picross|Picross]] is a logic puzzle game in which the player uses a chisel and rock hammer to uncover pictures. In order to reveal the picture, number clues are given to show how many squares go in each row or column. For example, a "5" horizontally means that there are 5 consecutive marked squares somewhere in that respective row. If there is more than one number, they all appear in that line in their respective order, but there must be at least one blank square between them. The player can also label squares with an "X" if they believe the square should not be marked. Labeling squares with an "X" serves no purpose in the solution of a puzzle, and is only used to assist the player. New to Mario's Super Picross is the ability to mark the hint numbers along the sides of the grid at will, preferably as each consecutive group of squares is solved on that line inside the grid.  

There are two sets of puzzles, each divided into several levels. In [[Mario]]'s set of puzzles, the player is given a time limit. In puzzles with time limits, the player is allotted 30 minutes to complete the puzzle, and is penalized for time for each wrongly marked square; 2 minutes for the first mistake, 4 minutes for the second, and 8 minutes for each mistake thereafter. At the start of the round, the player has the option to use a hint roulette, which cycles through the grid to completely reveal one row and one column. Once started, the player also has the option to use another hint roulette at the expense of 5 minutes deducted from the timer; this can be used multiple times as long as there is enough time remaining. When the player runs out of time, the game is over and they must restart the puzzle. After clearing the first level of Mario's puzzles, the player is granted access to Wario's puzzles.  

In [[Wario]]'s set of puzzles, there is no time limit and the player isn't notified of mistakes or given any hints, making the puzzles harder to solve. There is still a timer, however, it only increments to show the amount of time taken on a puzzle. There is a new option in the start menu, exclusive to Wario, called "? Start"; a guessing mode where the player halts progress on the puzzle and can make temporary marks on prospective squares, which can sometimes be necessary due to the lack of hints and the complexity of Wario's puzzles. The player can decide at any time if they want to cancel the guessing mode and remove the temporary marks, letting them continue from a state prior to entering this mode. If the player correctly finishes the puzzle while in this mode, the puzzle is completed as normal.

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.
