Last night, Nintendo quietly added Mario Paint to Nintendo Switch Online’s catalog of Super Nintendo games.
What also set Mario Paint apart from other SNES games was that it didn’t rely on the console’s standard gamepad.
Alongside Mario Paint being added to the Switch’s SNES catalog, Nintendo has enabled mouse support for the Switch’s SNES app, which is compatible with games like Mario’s Super Picross and Nobunaga’s Ambition.
On the original Switch, players can connect a compatible USB mouse to play Mario Paint, while on the Switch 2 the Joy-Con 2 controller’s mouse functionality can be used.
The company also recently added 19 tracks from Mario Paint to the Nintendo Music mobile app, including the three sample compositions available in the game’s music sequencer.
