The Mario educational games were generally designed for use by children in preschool or kindergarten and focused on developing skills ranging from language and typing to geography and history.
Using the program, players could design the sweater they want and the company would make it for a small fee.
In the game, Bowser sets up a castle in Antarctica, and plans to use hair dryers to melt the continent's ice and flood Earth.
The main gameplay consists of moving around a city in side-scrolling manner while jumping on Koopas to collect stolen artifacts (pieces of famous landmarks).
[4] Luigi then must "secure" the city by taking these artifacts to their respective locations and correctly answering two questions about the landmark.
In the game, Bowser steals artifacts from various points in history using a time machine and Mario must return them back.
The games were released in September, October, and November 1994, respectively, and all support the SNES Mouse peripheral.
A sequel, Mario Teaches Typing 2, was developed by Brainstorm and published by Interplay in 1997.
The player faces off against Mario (voiced by Charles Martinet in his first appearance[8]) in these games.
