The drawing tool featured 15 colors, various brush sizes, and stamps of Mario characters - revolutionary for console software in 1992. Artists could create frame-by-frame animations up to 3 frames long.
The music composition mode used a simplified staff system with Mario-themed sound effects and instruments, allowing users to create and save original songs.
Included mini-games like the iconic 'Fly Swatter' demonstrated the SNES mouse's precision, while the 'Gnat Attack' game became a cult favorite for its quirky humor.
