Mario Paint: Plaza

= Mario Paint: Plaza =
Mario Paint: Plaza is an online game created by Degenatron Arts and Nintendo ERD and released for the Wii U Next on 8 June 2024 in Japan and America, and 12 June in Europe. The game was free and it only worked online with the Nintendo Network. A version for the OLED3DS was released.
== Gameplay ==
The player was catapulted into a sort of museum square called "Art Whara Plaza" where there were Toads and other online players who valutated the drawings of others that were shown on the walls. A player could like or dislike the drawing, leave a comment or mark it as inappropriate.
== Drawings ==
Drawings were made with the touch screen of your GamePad. To create a drawing you had to go to the center of the map, or go to the player menu and select "Draw draft". Once the drawing was finished, you could give it a title, description and publish it or save it in drafts to edit it in the future. If the console was offline, the drafts would open if the game was opened, allowing the player to edit them while waiting for the console to connect to the internet.
== Minigames ==
An update introduced three drawing-based minigames.
* Drawing Vs Original: Two or more players had to try to draw a character in the most equal way to the original. The winner was the one who made the drawing closest to the original.
* Mario Paint: Plaza contest: During these events, depending on the theme, everyone could submit their own drawing. Each player could vote up to three drawings for them to win.
* DrawMii: A player had to draw another player's Mii in the most identical way to the original.
== Voice Chat ==
An update has added voice chat in the game. Every player could activate it in the game settings. This allowed you to speak vocally with other people.

=== NSFW Content ===
On 1 April 2025, only for that day, Nintendo released a version of Mario Paint: Plaza called "Mario's NSFW Paint: Plaza" where NSFW content was approved. However, the community thought that for that day the NSFW content was also approved in the normal version of the game. More than 10,000 users were banned for posting pornographic drawings.
