Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors. This page contains content that is not safe for work or other locations with the potential for personal embarrassment. Such as: Colorful language in debug strings.

Mario Artist Paint Studio is the first game of the Mario Artist suite, and successor to Mario Paint. It's also notable for being the only Mario Artist entry that wasn't developed by Nintendo EAD, but instead by British developer Software Creations.

To do: Tons of filenames revealing cut content, hidden graphics.

Game Boy Printer Support

The game supports the unreleased 64GB Cable shown at Spaceworld 1999 alongside DT. If detected from one of the controller ports, the game will unhide the Game Boy Printer (Pocket Printer) icon in 2D Paint mode in menu page 3.

This cable plugs into a Game Boy Printer cartridge, which then the Game Boy Printer plugs into the Game Boy's link port. This cartridge only acts as a middleman as Paint Studio sends and receives RAW Game Boy link data. Oddly enough, alongside support for the original Game Boy Printer, it has support for an unannounced Game Boy Printer COLOR (referred as Color Printer in the text) hardware which prints color images.

You can print in several directions, as well as splitting the image in 2 or 4. For the original Game Boy Printer menu, you can change the paper color, as well as brightness and contrast. The Game Boy Printer Color menu allows to change the brightness, contrast and hue.
