In the eyes of some people Mario Paint was one of the coolest yet underrated titles ever released for the Super NES back in the early 90’s. The fact that Mario Paint was never re-released for the Nintendo GameCube or even the Game Boy Advance back in the 00’s is somewhat surprising. There is no doubt that GameCube had the capacity to run Mario Paint and other 2D Mario titles from the late 80’s -early 90’s Time period.

However, it was obvious that Nintendo wanted to focus more on 3D titles for GameCube such as Mario Sunshine and Luigi’s Mansion. There is no doubt that the 3D titles in the Mario series could have been easily overshadowed Mario Paint along with any other retro 2D titles from the 8 or 16 bit era of gaming. However, since Nintendo had no plans to bring Mario Paint to GameCube it would have been awesome if we had got a 3D version of the game during the early 00’s.
