Composer: Hirokazu Tanaka, Ryoji Yoshitomi, & Kazumi Totaka
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo R&D1, Intelligent Systems
"Creative Exercise" is the first song you hear after you've made it through the absolute playground that is the Mario Paint titles. Clicking through the different colors, brush types, and stamps in the first screen of was a magical experience for 12-year-old me, who had never before heard of MS Paint, and the included mouse accessory might have been the first mouse that our family owned; we'd used mice before, but only with computers at school and we were still using our Apple //e, which had a joystick, but no mouse.
I don't have a whole lot to say about "Creative Exercise" other than I like this song and how it reminds me of being 12 years old again, as well as the simplicity of the game itself. The music doesn't overshadow the game and is still catchy enough to keep the player/artist engaged while clicking through dozens of color pallets.
It's nostalgia, pure and simple.
