There is no shortage of hits in this decade! Super Mario World, Dr. Mario, Mario Kart… And it’s a real shame that all you kids out there will never experience Mario Paint. To be honest, I’m not sure WHY it’s such a shame because I don’t know (honestly) if it was all that good, but it pretty original at the time, pretty unique, and it had flyswatting a music composer that you can still find in use today!
