A creative Mario experience
Released in 1991 for the Apple II, Super Mario Bros. Print World allowed players to dive into a creative, Mario-themed world where they could design and print their own Mario-inspired images and items.
Super Mario Bros. Print World is not a game, but a publishing application with templates to make Mario-themed greeting cards, signs, posters, banners, and calendars. It allows the user to print out artwork of various characters and elements from Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Land.
The title is based on another Hi Tech Expressions title, Power Print, and has several variants based on themes other than Mario, including the NFL, Jim Henson’s Muppets, The Addams Family, and Looney Tunes. Source.
