no i had a colecovision. so i'm pretty sure that's what paved my way to becoming a designer whos designs are always second rate and shitty.
damn you colecovision. why couldn't my parents have had more money and could afford an atari or nintendo. fuuuuuuuuuu

Wouldn't say it helped pave the way for anything; however, I sure enjoyed it.

I went to full sail university for animation in the late 90s. One of our Alias instructors used to work at Pixar, and he told me they sometimes used mario paint as part of the interview process, right on the spot with no warning.
They would sit you down with it for a half hour or an hour and see what you can come up with. He showed us some of the applicant mario paint projects, amazing what some people can do with such basic tools.

yeah totally. I used to make little movies by recording scenes I made on VHS with titles and everything. Usually something with mario getting his head chopped off. there was only like 15 frames you had to animate with.

Damn I totally forgot I owned Mario Paint. I wonder what happened to it, I only have my regular games (F-Zero fuck yes!). I used to only really like the music tracker.

Now that to me appears to be of Apple ][ vintage. Apple ][+ FTW!
