Paint Boy is anAdobe Shockwave game created to promote theGame Boy Color. It features art showcasing characters from theSuper Mario franchise, along with those fromThe Legend of Zelda andPokémon.
Gameplay
The game functions as a customizable digital Game Boy Color, allowing the player to both modify the color and draw on the system. There are 13 different screens to choose from, with the first being the Game Boy Color logo, the next four being related to theSuper Mario franchise, the next ofLink, the next six being related toPokémon, and the final also being of Link. The game allows the player to change the brush size and the color the player is painting with, along with options to erase all modifications. The game also offers options to draw various shapes over areas that will leave behind splotches of whichever color the player is utilizing, and an option to type text on the system. Once the player has finished, there is also an icon of what appears to be a floppy disk with the Adobe Shockwave logo in the top left corner, presumably to save the player's finished Game Boy Color.
