Mario Paint (1992)
Mario Paint is pretty much Nintendo's equivalent of Kid Pix, and it used a special SNES mouse accessory in order to draw with, much like how Kid Pix required a mouse. There are interesting art tools, such as premade paints, neat animations to completely erase your art, a frame animator, and even (surprise!) a fly swatting minigame in case you want to take a break from painting. There's even a few tunes that you can listen to, and you can change them whenever you want. And speaking of, you could also create your own music with a selection of different sounds!

that would've been the best free gift ever for your kids though. it's too bad you didn't get to keep it.

Funny story, last year a boxed SEGA Pico system was shipped to me unannounced. I sent the word out on social media, asking for the sender to reveal themselves, but got no response. So I totally set it up for my kids with that Richard Scary game and they were having a great time. A few days later I got an email from an eBay seller from whom I had won an auction, saying he accidentally shipped the Pico to me and needed it returned. Ah well, it was a fun 48 hours.

This article reminded me that I had a Nickelodeon version of 3D movie maker as a kid! I must've put in hundreds of hours into that game.
