Mario Paint (Switch)

Unexpected Game Add

This is just a fun, quick review of Mario Paint, which was recently added to the Nintendo Online subscription. I didn’t expect to see this one ported over, but it definitely brings back memories. It has all the cheesy mini-games I remember—swatting bugs and putting on a musical.

You can also create artwork, though I was never very good at that part.

I used the built-in "mouse" feature on the Switch controller. It works okay, but it doesn’t feel as good as using a real mouse. That said, I 3D printed a “controller upgrade” that makes the controller feel a bit more like a regular mouse—and that helped.

Here is the 3D model I used.
