''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. The player can play a slideshow of their images with music. Pictures of some other [[Nintendo]] characters could be used and manipulated on screen, and additional images could be imported from an {{wp|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.  It is possible to create short animations with this game, 35 frames long. The player can explore three 3D worlds- Mars, Underwater and Dinosaur Land (not to be confused with [[Dinosaur World]]) The player can travel through these environments and take pictures of the creatures who inhabit it. This feature is said to be similar to ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Snap|Pokémon Snap]]''.

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. 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.

Gameplay

The game has four modes, total. The modes are as follows:

  • 2D Paint, for traditional painting like in Mario Paint. There is a unique four player drawing mode where four players could collaborate to make one drawing together. Pre-existing pictures of some other Nintendo characters could be used and manipulated on screen, and additional images could be imported from an RCA source using the capture cartridge or a Game Boy Camera. The stock Nintendo-themed graphics include all 151 Red and Blue Pokémon and various Banjo-Kazooie and Diddy Kong Racing characters.
  • Animate, which can be used to create multiple frame animations in a flipbook type format. The max amount of frames for these animations are 35 frames long. It was possible to import animated figures into a player's city as a citizen in SimCity 64.
  • 3D World, where players can explore various worlds and interact with it. The player can explore three worlds: Mars, Underwater and Dinosaur Land. The player can travel through these environments and take pictures of the creatures who inhabit it. This feature is similar to Pokémon Snap. In addition, players can edit the environment's textures, adding their own drawings and creations to surfaces.
  • Gallery, acts as a sort of slideshow. The player can create a slideshow of their images with music.

Development

Software Creations was commissioned by Nintendo of America 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 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.
