'''''Mario Artist: Polygon Studio''''' (マリオアーティスト　ポリゴンスタジオ) is the fourth and final game released in the ''[[Mario Artist (series)|Mario Artist]]'' series and overall ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise on the [[Nintendo 64DD]], released in Japan on August 29, 2000.  
'''''Mario Artist: Polygon Studio''''' is the fourth and final game released in the ''[[Mario Artist]]'' series, released in Japan only for the [[Nintendo 64DD]] on August 29, 2000. There were four more planned, but due to the failure of the system they remain unreleased.
The game allows players to construct and render 3D polygons, then texture them, and paint them. The player can also import them into pre-made animations, much like the other titles in the series. Along with this the player can play [[microgames]] that include the player's polygon in the "Sound Bomber" mode. This is obviously the inspiration for the ''[[WarioWare]]'' series. What appear to be early versions of ''WarioWare'' microgames can be seen, including what is clearly [[Crazy Cars]]. They even level up as the player progresses. The microgames use the polygon the player has made, like ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' uses art the player has made. The microgames are also played on a tape recorder, providing further inspiration for ''WarioWare''. The game, at the very beginning, also has the push-up scene from ''[[Mario Paint]]''.


The game allows players to construct and render 3D polygons, then texture them, and paint them. The player can also assemble models from pre-made or player-made parts and use them to explore a 3D world called the [[Experimental World]] and find newer, more effective parts. Along with this, two minigames are included: Sound Bomber, a simple predecessor to the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'']] series, and Go-Go-Park, in which the player "winds up" their model and tries to get them to stop at a certain distance before a cliff, serving as a predecessor to the minigame [[Chicken Race (minigame)|Chicken Race]] in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' Both minigames have three tiers of difficulty.

*Excluding FLIES and MAZE, all other microgames are directly reused in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''

*The music which plays in a menu of Polygon Studio called [ブロツクさくひん] (Block Work) is used for [[Coursebot]], with some slight changes.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psp1PK1yFd4 The music plays from 3:35</ref>

*The order of 'level of difficulty' consists of a loop of 3 rounds. The second round is harder than the first one, and the third one is harder than the second one. The texts in the first round are in Katakana, in the second round are in Latin and in the third round are in Kanji. From round 4 onwards, the microgames also become faster as the player progresses in the round.
 
==References to other games==
*''[[Mario Paint]]'': The "baby face" from this game can be seen floating in the background of the model creation menu, and will make its signature noise when clicked on. As with all other ''Mario Artist'' titles, a dog's head serves as the "Undo" icon, a reference to [[Undodog]]. When starting up the game, there is a chance that a scene of two figures doing aerobics will play, just like in this game. The [[Baker (Mario Paint)|Baker]] brothers leaving behind messages for the player in the Experimental World are eventually revealed to be these same two figures, and they can both be collected and used as blocks by the player.
*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': Untextured versions of [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi|Yoshi's]] models from this game can be loaded in the Polygon Editor. A part called the [[Power Star]] can be found in the Experimental World mode, which makes all Power Block parts perform like their most superior counterparts.
*''[[wikirby:Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards|Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'': An untextured version of [[wikirby:Kirby|Kirby]]'s model from this game can be found in the Polygon Editor.
 
==References in later games==
*''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'': The concept of microgames originated from ''Polygon Studio's'' Sound Bomber mode. The introduction stage taking place inside a boombox is a direct reference to Sound Bomber. Additionally, all of the Sound Bomber microgames appear in this game, under different names and with different graphics and controls:
**JUMP appears as [[Crazy Cars]].
**BLOCK appears as [[Diamond Dig]].
**SHOOT appears as [[Repellion]].
**ROULETTE appears as [[Wario Whirled]].
**BASEBALL appears as [[Batter Up]].
**FLIES appears as [[Mario Paint: Fly Swatter]].
**RACE appears as [[Hectic Highway]] and [[Racing 112]].
**MAZE appears as [[Maze Daze]].
