This page details one or more prototype versions of Mario Paint.
| This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

The prototype of the best drawing game in the world. This holds a lot of small differences to the final product.

General
Title Screen
After clicking on the letter "N" to trigger the staff credits, the normal title screen music plays instead of the final game’s bongo medley.

During the credits, the prototype lists only one programmer, Kenji Imai. The other two names, Kenji Nakajima and Genji Kubota, as seen in the final version, are missing in action.

Under the Mouse Maker Staff category of the credits, the prototype displays each name separately instead of all together on one single screen.
The prototype also has no special thanks at the end of the credits.

The prototype calls the Coloring Book "Coloring Pictures".

On the prototype’s second coloring picture, the classic Japanese L and R mixup happens with "crocodile" being spelled "clocodile". In addition, the words "monkey" and "camel" are positioned differently, and the snake graphic appears farther to the right of the monkey.

On the third coloring picture, the prototype spells "Happy Birthday" as "Happy Birth Day."

The fourth and final coloring picture also contains a change, albeit much more subtle than the others. If you look closely inside of the cavernous underwater reef, you’ll notice that the outline touching the tail fin of the bottom fish has one more pixel in the prototype. This pixel was erased so the small area between the tail fin and the outline would properly fill in when using the bucket tool.
