Trivia / Mario Paint

• Keep Circulating the Tapes: This game has never seen a re-release likely due to it using a mouse as its main input.
• Referenced by...:
  • There are numerous references to this game in the WarioWare series, possibly because both WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and Mario Paint share the same director, Hirofumi Matsuoka:
    • The fly-swatter minigame in Mega Microgame$, as a standard quick minigame and a full version.
    • In Twisted!, the hardest version of the minigame "Red Delicious?" features the exercising guy who shows up in Mario Paint between the title screen and the main game.
    • In Touched! 9-Volt has a microgame based off of Mario Paint. Touched! also has a remix of the main Mario Paint music.
    • D.I.Y. also features a Mario Paint microgame, an Easter Egg involving the Mario Paint music, and the whole graphics editor gives off a Mario Paint vibe.
  • In the Wii Photo Channel, the Doodle feature makes two references. First, the "Undo all" button summons a rocket to erase all the doodles. The rocket looks and sounds different, but functions exactly like the rocket eraser in Mario Paint. Second, if one holds Down on the Control Pad and hits the eraser, it does undo or redo with the sound of Undodog from Mario Paint.
  • Super Smash Bros.:
    • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U includes a "Mario Paint Medley" that compiles many of the game's songs together, including a section created with the music composer.
    • The fly-swatter minigame hand appears as an assist trophy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
  • Super Mario Maker has already been shown to take many cues from Paint, even the fly-swatting coffee break minigame.
  • Super Mario Odyssey features Mario's smock and beret from the game's box as an alternate costume.
  • The Decorative Goo treasure in Pikmin 2 is a tube of paint with “Mario Paints” on its label.
