About

Games Repainted is the collective group of people who take a well-known game, such as Super Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario series, Rhythm Heaven and Undertale and completely replace the game's textures, generally for comedic effect. Depending on the game, cutscenes, dialogue, or subtitles may also be edited. One or more of the members then has to play through the repainted version of the game, and the result is streamed to Youtube and Twitch. Several repaintings have been created and submitted by fans. ^[1]^[2]

The stream proved reasonably popular, and on March 15, 2015, the Games Reapainted Youtube channel was founded.

Then, on March 19, the highlights from the first major project on the channel, Super Mario Sunshine Repainted, were uploaded,
