==History==

Paintings in ''Super Mario 64'' are used to travel from the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] to the game's many [[level]]s, such as the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]. Certain paintings are located in special themed rooms (for example, [[Jolly Roger Bay]]'s painting is in what appears to be an aquarium). Most painting frames are yellow, but some of the paintings also have different colors, such as [[Wet-Dry World]]'s being blue. Several paintings on the second floor are copies of ones on other floors and cannot be entered. The painting for Jolly Roger Bay is changed in Western localizations, with the original Japanese version depicting large bubbles and the Western versions depicting the sunken ship.

Paintings return in the remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', where they serve the same purpose. All of the paintings have been retouched, with some also being redone due to some designs changing in the eight years between releases. Also, all releases of this game have the Jolly Roger Bay painting depicting bubbles.

The destinations of certain paintings change depending on which kingdoms were chosen at the [[Lake Kingdom]] and [[Wooded Kingdom]] fork and the Snow Kingdom and Seaside Kingdom fork. Below is a table featuring the destination of the paintings in each scenario, with each column representing the kingdoms that were visited first in the respective forks.

===''Luigi's Mansion'' series===

====''Luigi's Mansion''====

Multiple paintings appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. Most are simple background objects that occasionally hold treasure and can be commented on by [[Luigi]] through the [[Game Boy Horror]]; some of these appear to depict living versions of the [[portrait ghost]]s, and the ones in the [[Parlor (Luigi's Mansion)|Parlor]] speak to Luigi after he blows out six [[candle]]s early on. Some, however, are more important to the plot, namely, the ones of the defeated portrait ghosts, the quality of which depends on how many [[pearl]]s Luigi collects. Another is the one [[Mario]] is trapped in, which serves as Luigi's primary goal. Before the battle with [[King Boo]], the painting is replaced with one of [[Bowser]], which sucks the two inside it. After Luigi defeats King Boo, the Mario painting reappears, and Luigi takes it back to [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s lab. Mario is then sent through the [[Ghost Portrificationizer]] in reverse to return him to normal. Unlike the static images of the portrait ghosts, Mario's picture is of him banging on the panel, trying to escape.

===Super Nintendo World===

Two paintings make an appearance in [[Super Nintendo World]] inside [[Peach's Castle]]. They are modern versions of the paintings of the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] and [[Tiny-Huge Island]] from ''Super Mario 64'' with frames resembling the warp paintings in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', which resemble their appearances in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. If they are looked at from the side, they reveal an image of [[Bowser Jr.]] in his [[Junior Clown Car]] with the [[Golden Mushroom (crownless)|Golden Mushroom]].
