MARIO FACTORY

MARIO FACTORY is a game making tool for the GAME PROCESSOR and currently the only known software for it. MARIO FACTORY had multiple base games that could be edited the make new games; each game was a different genre. The user could edit the graphics, audio, and could reprogram the game using a custom programming language. Much like Super Mario Maker, the user can play their game, pause, and make edits right then and there. After the user was done making their game, they could put it on a GAME PROCESSOR RAM Cassette to play their game on a regular Super Famicom. The program is currently lost.
