Mario Family is a piece of software for the Game Boy Color compatible with Jaguar's JN-100 sewing machine. It was released only in Japan on August 27, 2001. Mario Family is the first Super Mario sewing software. It follows I am a teacher: Super Mario Sweater , knitting software made for the Family Computer Disk System. It was first exhibited at the Nintendo Space World 2001 venue along with Kirby Family . The latter was eventually canceled because Mario Family sold poorly, partly due to the required Jaguar sewing machine costs (and being geared towards a younger audience).[3]
Gameplay[edit ]
The JN-100 came with a cable that would link it to a Game Boy Color, allowing the player to choose one of several designs that the machine can copy onto fabric. Another more recent model, the JN-2000, also works with a Game Boy Color. The Mario Family cartridge has 32 patterns stored in it; in the case of Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi, the same pattern is copied twice. Players can also alter the colors of the below patterns with a number of alternate palettes. The patterns are pixelated versions of classic-era hand-drawn Super Mario character and item artworks, created and published for games like Super Mario World .
