Mario Paint is the most well-known game to make use of the SNES mouse technology. The game's package was a larger than normal size in order to accommodate a plastic mouse pad which was included along with the SNES mouse.

Mini Games
Mario Paint also contains a fly-swatting mini-game, known as "Coffee Break" or "Gnat Attack," which is a fast-paced action game that takes full advantage of the Super NES mouse. The player controls a gloved hand (similar to the one seen on the title screen) holding a flyswatter, which must swat flying insects on the screen, before the insect stings the player's hand in one way or another. There are three levels, each with 100 insects and a boss. When you win the last boss it takes you back to level one and adds a small icon in the top left corner of the screen. There is no final level or reward, as the game will loop endlessly.
The title screen for Mario Paint proved to be a mini-game of sorts. The user was able to click each letter in the title to trigger a certain action. Certain letters would cause the music to change, have Yoshi run by on screen, make Mario shrink and grow, and even allow the user to temporarily paint the background.
Totaka's Song in Mario Paint
Kazumi Totaka's Song is a 19-note song that appears in many Nintendo games. In Mario Paint, the song is an Easter egg, found on the front screen when a user clicks the O in "Mario Paint." Its first appearance was in a Japanese-only Game Boy Game, X.
Reception and legacy
Mario Paint was rated the 162nd best game made on a Nintendo System in Nintendo Power's Top 200 Games list. .
Ironically, despite its premise in visual art, it is the musical side of Mario Paint that has perhaps had the longest-lasting legacy. Today YouTube features hundreds of musical compositions conducted with the Mario Paint music program, or similar online programs that use the Mario Paint system, but allow for unlimited musical length and other extended features.
