''[[Mario Artist: Paint Studio]]'' (rel. Dec. 11, 1999) is similar to ''[[Mario Paint]]'', but with more features. It was one of only two launch titles for the 64DD. Images could be imported from an [[Wikipedia:RCA connector|RCA]] source using the [[Nintendo 64DD#AV-In Cartridge|{{conjectural|capture cartridge}}]] or a [[Game Boy Camera]]. It also came with a unique four-player drawing mode where four players could collaborate to make one drawing together.

|'''''Mario Artist: Paint Studio''''' began as a direct sequel to ''[[Mario Paint]]'', and bears many similarities to it. Players could draw original creations, utilize various pre-rendered images, animate frames, create slideshows and interact with a 3D world. It was one of only two launch titles for the [[Nintendo 64DD]]. Images could be imported from an [[Wikipedia:RCA connector|RCA]] source using the [[Nintendo 64DD#AV-In Cartridge|{{conjectural|capture cartridge}}]] or a [[Game Boy Camera]].

|'''''Mario Artist: Talent Studio''''' allows users to insert pictures from cameras and videos onto 3-dimensional models, and then animate the models. Using the Capture Cartridge, which this game was bundled with, movies could be recorded by running a video camera through the Capture Cartridge. This game boasts an in-depth personal avatar creator app; said avatars could be imported as city residents into the Nintendo 64DD title, ''{{wp|SimCity 64}}''.

|'''''Mario Artist: Polygon Studio''''' allows users to construct and render 3-dimensional polygons, and then explore a 3D world with their creation to unlock more parts. The game includes a mode called "Sound Bomber" (サウンド ボンバ－ ''Saundo Bonbā''), where the player has to win as many minigames as possible, all of them featuring the player's polygon model in some way.

An additional game in the series, titled ''Sound Studio'', was originally planned to be released, but it was ultimately canceled.<ref>{{cite|author=DidYouKnowGaming|date=May 12, 2024|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7II7Xns3No|title=Rumored Mario Games SOLVED|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 12, 2024}}</ref> Additionally, ''Mario Artist: Paint Studio'' was originally going to feature a minigame similar to [[Gnat Attack]], but it was removed in the final product.


==Legacy==
===''Mario Artist: Talent Studio''===
Though the ''Mario Artist'' series, as well as the Nintendo 64DD as a whole, were seen as a failure, many concepts utilized within were later revisited and worked upon by [[Nintendo]]. Nintendo designer Yamashita Takayuki attributes his work on ''Mario Artist: Talent Studio'', namely its avatar creation tool, as having been foundational to his eventual work on the [[Mii]]s introduced in the [[Wii]]. Some of these ideas were also implemented into ''{{wp|Wii Sports}}''. The Sound Bomber mode to ''Mario Artist: Polygon Studio'' is a direct precursor to the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, inspiring the games and series as a whole. All minigames featured within ''Mario Artist: Polygon Studio'' were implemented into [[Microgame|microgames]] in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''.  
''[[Mario Artist: Talent Studio]]'' (rel. Feb. 23, 2000) allows users to insert pictures from cameras and videos onto 3-dimensional models, and then animate the models. Also, using the Capture Cartridge, which this game was bundled with, movies could be recorded by running a video camera through the Capture Cartridge. Also, the concept of a personal avatar creator app as is seen in today's [[Mii]], is seen in ''Mario Artist: Talent Studio''. Those avatars (called Talents) can be imported into the completely separate 64DD game, ''SimCity 64''. Nintendo designer Yamashita Takayuki attributes his work on Talent Studio as having been foundational to his eventual work on the Mii.


Mario can unlock a painter outfit in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' based on his appearances from the ''Mario Artist'' series and ''Mario Paint''. In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', [[Luigi|Luigi (Painter)]] is partially based on Mario's appearance in this series.
===''Mario Artist: Communication Kit''===
''[[Mario Artist: Communication Kit]]'' (rel. June 29, 2000) was an accessory to the other ''Mario Artist'' games. It allowed users to connect to Randnet's Net Studio, so users could share their creations in the other ''Mario Artist'' games with others. The RandNet only ran for little over a year.

''[[Mario Artist: Polygon Studio]]'' (rel. Aug. 29, 2000, in collaboration with Nichimen Graphics) allows users to construct and render 3-dimensional polygons, as the name suggests. This was the last Mario Artist game released. The game includes a special mode called '''Sound Bomber''' (サウンド ボンバ－ ''Saundo Bonbā''), where the player has to win as many [[microgame]]s as possible, all of them featuring the player's polygon model in some way. This mode is the precursor to the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series.
