There’s not a lot that can be done with this software now, the main use for this was sharing your Mario Artist creations over Randnet. Without the internet, its main use is as a file management tool, providing a way to move data across the different Mario Artist games (although you could still swap discs for loading files within each game).

It does include a number of files made by Nintendo staff, that can be sent to the various Mario Artist disks to use and modify as you see fit. I am curious how many creations had been uploaded to Randnet before the service was shut down, and all the work lost. It also seemed that you were limited to the spaces across the various game disks themselves, as no blank disks were sold for additional storage.

Remake or remaster?

There are fans trying to restore Randnet services, called Randnet+, which would be great to see.
