'''''Mario Artist: Paint Studio''''' (マリオアーティスト ペイントスタジオ) is a game released on December | '''''Mario Artist: Paint Studio''''' (マリオアーティスト ペイントスタジオ) is a Japan-only game released on December 11, 1999 for the [[Nintendo 64DD]], as part of the [[Mario Artist (series)|''Mario Artist'' series]]. It was one of the only games released for the system and was never popularized as a result. | ||
''Mario Artist: Paint Studio'' worked like the earlier title, ''[[Mario Paint]]'', in that players used different paint tools to draw images. Frequently bundled with the ''Paint Studio'' was the [[Nintendo 64 Mouse]] controller, which made painting on the game similar to painting on a computer. | |||

Software Creations was commissioned by Nintendo in 1995 to create a sequel to ''Mario Paint'' in 3D for the [[Nintendo 64]]. It was initially pitched as a 3D "living playground" called ''Creator'' where the user edits the attributes of premade models such as dinosaurs—playing with sizes, behaviors, aggression, speed, and texture design. It was then re-named ''Mario Paint 64'' | {{wp|Acclaim Studios Manchester|Software Creations}} was commissioned by [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] in 1995 to create a sequel to ''Mario Paint'' in 3D for the [[Nintendo 64]].

It was then re-named ''Mario Paint 64'' and later to ''Picture Maker'' (shown at Nintendo's Space World 1997 trade show in November 1997), with the last working title being ''Mario Artist & Camera''. Nintendo's Japanese departments eventually took control of the project, rejecting many of Software Creations' and Nintendo of America's ideas, before finally releasing the game in December 1999. | ||
