Super MakerMatic 21

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

The Super MakerMatic 21

The Super MakerMatic 21 is a machine that can create games, as well as records and comics. It appears in WarioWare: D.I.Y.

After having a nightmare where creatures emerge from his TV, Dr. Crygor gets the idea to create the MakerMatic. Wario asks him to fix his TV, but upon seeing the machines, he asks to trade. Dr. Crygor explains that they are not TVs and tells him how they work. Wario then decides that money can be made out of them by making games. Afterwards, Wario hires the player to make and sell games to make him money.

The machine contains tools that can be used to draw graphics, make music and assign AI (Action Instructions) with ease. Penny hosts the tutorial for using the Super MakerMatic. It has three different options: Game MakerMatic, Record MakerMatic and Comic MakerMatic.

Shared features

Graphics editing

The graphics editor is found in the Game MakerMatic and the Comic MakerMatic modes. While mostly identical between all versions, the Comic version removes color-related options due to the black-and-white limitation and features different Picture Stamps. Some animation-aid tools are also only available in the art editing mode of the Game MakerMatic.

Palette: The palette in the Game mode is comprised of seven 14-item pages: one page of solid colors, two pages of simple colored patterns and stripes, one page of black-and-white patterns, one page of concrete elements (such as brick walls, audience members and water) and two pages for custom-made patterns. In the Comic mode, it is comprised of two 14-item pages: one page for textures and one page for custom-made patterns.

Palette/Stamp/Character Orientation: The palette, picture stamp or character stamp may be rotated or flipped. This tool is represented by the Dude in Undies for the Palette mode and his alternative caveman and leotard-clad forms for the Stamp and Character modes respectively.

Zoom In/Zoom Out: The canvas may be zoomed in to two, four, eight or 16 times the normal size.

Grid Guide: A grid dividing the canvas into 8×8 pixel squares may be displayed.

Time Traveler: Allows undoing and redoing the last action.

Shapes: Allows the drawing of the following shapes: Thin Line, Medium Line, Thick Line, Rectangle (Thin Border), Rectangle (Thick Border), Solid Rectangle, Ellipse (Thin Border), Ellipse (Thick Border), Solid Ellipse.

Picture Stamp: Includes selections of pre-made art. As they differ between each mode, see the listing of available stamps on the appropriate sections for Game MakerMatic Picture Stamps and Comic MakerMatic Picture Stamps.

Character Stamp: Includes text characters in five Font Styles, each one with three different sizes. The styles are the following:

• Fun: "A lively and comical font style." (This is the previously recurrent WarioWare font)
• Elegant: "A classy and refined font style."
• Bold: "A strong, bulky font style." (This is the real-life ＤＦＰゴシック体 font)
• Calligraphy: "A font written by a calligraphy master." (This is the real life ＤＦＰ行楷書 font)
• Ghostly: "A mysterious and scary font style." (This is the real life ＤＦ康印体 font)
• 8-bit: "A pixelized font style." (This is the text style commonly seen in Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System games)

All non-instant erasing effects can be halted at any point, allowing the player to use them for visual effects instead. This is demonstrated by Penny during the Comic MakerMatic tutorial.

Music editing

The music editor is found in the Game and Record MakerMatic modes.

The player edits one phrase at a time, which corresponds to the length of a normal microgame. A phrase is divided into two pages: a front page and a back page, each one being four four-beat measures long. It is also comprised of five Tracks corresponding to different voices, the four first suited for melodies, and the last one being used for rhythm, with its own sets of percussion instrument options. The instrument and volume settings are available for each Track independently and affect all notes of that phrase.

Track Bar: Used for Track selection.

Instrument Type: Allows the selection of the instrument used in the current Track.

Volume: Allows the selection of the volume used in the current Track from a set of four different intensities plus a mute option.

Balance: Allows the selection of the balance used in the current track from the following set of options: Way Left, Slightly Left, Centered, Slightly Right and Way Right.

Page Forward/Page Back: Allows changing between both pages for editing.

Time Traveler: Allows undoing and redoing the last action.

Stop: Stops phrase playback.

Game MakerMatic

An example of game creation

Allowing the creation of microgames (referred to simply as "games"), this is the most prominent feature of the Super MakerMatic 21. Games are made by creating objects (described by the game as the game's "actors"), writing the behaviour for these objects through Action Instructions or AI, and also creating the background and music. After completed, the game may be shipped off to sell, and the player may play any of their microgames in the D.I.Y. Shop.

Graphics

All premade palette elements in the Game MakerMatic.

This section contains a Background subsection, where the player may draw or import the background from an existing microgame found in the D.I.Y Shop. Imported backgrounds can be edited normally.

In the Objects subsection, all 15 available object slots are listed. Objects have from one to four "arts" (animations), and each art is comprised from one to four "cels" (frames). The player has 256 available points to be distributed among any number of objects. Each object deducts points from the player's total in a per cel basis. The available cel sizes are 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, or 64×64 pixels, costing one, four, nine, or 16 points respectively, and each object has a fixed cel size, picked when this object is created.

The player may also import objects from games from the D.I.Y. Shop.

When creating an object, the player must choose:

1. a name for the object up to nine characters long. If not inserted, the game generates a name in the pattern OBJECTⓃ, where Ⓝ is the underscored digit character that would form the first available name in this pattern starting from OBJECT① up to OBJECT⑮.
2. the size of the object. Once set, the size cannot be changed.
3. a name for the first art up to nine characters long. If not inserted, the game generates the default name ARTⒶ. Following arts created without name input will have their names default to the same format, ARTⓐ, where ⓐ is Ⓐ, Ⓑ, Ⓒ or Ⓓ, depending on the first available option.

Apart from the smaller canvas, drawing art for cels works almost exactly like drawing backgrounds, but some exclusive functions for aiding animation and cel handling are available as well.

Back One Cell/Forward One Cell: Aids navigation between cels.

Add Cel: Adds a cel to the art if fewer than four cels exist.

Delete Cel: Remove the current cel.

Import: Imports a cel from another art in the same object.

Art Animation: Plays or stops playing the current art, visible on the top screen.

Animation Speed: Allows selecting the animation speed.

Background Display: Displays the background on the top screen and overlays the current art on it and allows moving it around.

Trace Display: An onion skin effect, faintly displaying the previous cel on the canvas.

In the art selection screen, the player may edit an art's name, edit, delete it or import art from another object.

Picture stamps

Game MakerMatic stamps are divided as follows:

• Landscape: "For applying landscape elements."
• Body Parts: "For applying eyes, mouths, etc."
• 8-Bit: "For applying 8-bit pixel art."
• D.I.Y.: "For applying your custom-made stamps."

Music

The music making tool in the Game MakerMatic works as elaborated above, but also includes the Maestro option, which generates a phrase. The creator may request a tune fitting a certain "mood" ("relaxed", "normal" or "frenzied") and "style" ("fun", "sad", "factory", "spicy", "spooky" or "8-bit"), or pick a random setting using the "auto" option.

Importing a phrase from another game or record is possible as well.

Assembly

Here, the Action Instructions (AI), which are the script components of the game, are created for objects. Each one of the objects created in the Graphics section may be assigned up to five regular AI, being required to be assigned a starting condition (the Start) beforehand.

Once an object's starting condition is created, it is marked with an "AI" icon on its thumbnail, and it is assigned a switch, which is a simple boolean variable associated with it. The switch can be turned on or off by an action defined in an AI, and its state can be used as a trigger by any other object and required for setting win conditions, making it one of the most fundamental components of the game's scripting system.

Start

The Start (also refered to as starting condition) defines the initial state of the object and follows the following steps—left to right here—for the object's art, and then for its location:

Art
Steps		Resulting art statement
Set to which art?	Animation style and speed?ab	Set art to [selected art] and [selected animation style].

Location
Steps				Resulting location statement
Location "The object starts at a specified point or randomly within a specified area."	Point "The object starts at a precise location on the stage."		Where?	Locate at [selected location].
	Area "The object starts at a randomly selected location within a selected rectangular area. The starting point changes with each play."	Anywhere "The object will be placed randomly within the area without regard for overlapping with other objects."	What area?	Locate within [selected area].
		Try not to overlap "The object will be placed randomly within the area without overlapping other objects, if possible."	What area?	Locate within [selected area].
Attach to object "The object starts attached to another object. Unavailable if there are no other objects with AI assigned."	Attach to which object?		Where?	Attach to [selected object].

AI

The regular AI (numbered ① through ⑤) are comprised of a Trigger and Actions, that is, the events checked for actions to occur, and the resulting actions themselves, respectively.

Triggers

Up to six members can be added to the Trigger of an AI, and these members must all be activated for the trigger to occur. If instead the player wishes to have independent sets of events trigger the same action or actions, separate AI must be used instead.

The available Trigger options are:

Trivia

• On the startup screen of the MakerMatic, the 1 of the 21 "blinks".
• The background of the startup screen is the same as the background of the DS. Also, the buttons are styled like the buttons on the DS startup screen. This makes sense, considering that the MakerMatic is made to resemble a DS.
• If the microgame's name is "Mario Paint", the design creation music will be changed to the Mario Paint default background music.
• While designing a record for shipping, the text for the two steps are switched around, with the label design screen reading "Select the color and style of the logo.", and the logo design screen reading "Select the shape and color of the label." This error is present in all the localized versions of the game bar the French version.
