I'm kind of shocked at how functional Mario Artist: Polygon Studio is.
Like, you could give this to a kid and just let them smash prefab pieces together, but it's also a real-ass 3D modelling tool. A tool from the year 2000, built for the N64DD, so obviously there are some... limitations, but you could make some decent low-poly models in this (if you had a lot of patience). And it has enough play-centric stuff surrounding it that I could genuinely see a kid getting into 3D modelling via it.
I wouldn't pick it over like, a proper tool. But I do kinda want Blender to make objects explode into tris when I delete them now.
