Mario Artist English translations (Paint, Polygon and Talent Studio)

マリオアーティスト · Mario Artist: Paint Studio · Mario Artist: Polygon Studio · Mario Artist: Talent Studio

LuigiBlood's English translations of three Mario Artist disks for the 64DD, Paint Studio, Polygon Studio and Talent Studio, gathered in one source repository.

What's translated

Three of the Mario Artist disks have English translations, each with an English logo:

  • Paint Studio (v2.2): the menus and tools of the drawing program, including the Game Boy Camera features.
  • Polygon Studio (v3.0): the 3D modeling tool, with many technical fixes and a reworked translation in its latest version.
  • Talent Studio (v3.0): character creation and the movie studio. A few parts, such as the shuffle text, default talents and sample movies, are still in Japanese.

The Communication Kit disk is not part of this project.

Good to know

The repository holds the sources and build scripts for each translation, with versions for the original disks and for cartridge ports. These programs need accurate graphics emulation: inaccurate plugins can stop 3D models and vertices from being selected properly, so use an accurate renderer or real hardware.

Playing it

Build or apply the translation to your own copies of the disks, following the instructions in the repository.
