Retro Video – Mario Teaches Typing -
Tuesday 20 November 2007 @ 12:21 am | By Abraham 'Velcor' Duarte 3 CommentsVery well, this Retro Video is quite special. Why, you ask? Ever seen Mario outside a Nintendo console? Well, I have, and it isn’t this game. Bonus points to the one who guesses which game I’m thinking about!
Mario Teaches Typing is the title of the game, and it’s basically that. Developed by Interplay and with license from Nintendo, it was created back in 1991 for the PC on MS-DOS, then released for PC and Mac in 1995. Mario goes through Super Mario Bros.-esque levels destroying blocks and stomping on koopas. But how? Each block and enemy have letters on them, so in order to make Mario move, just type the letter.
Swizzley shows us a little gameplay from level 1 and 3 from the game. Be careful though, you might want to lower the volume of your speakers since the audio devices for the music of this game are crap, but hey, you gotta give credit to a Mario game for MS-DOS. . .aww reminds me of the games I used to play in class.
As a curious fact, Charles Martinet didn’t do the voice of Mario for this game, it was done by Ronald B. Ruben.

Are you thinking of Hotel mario?
By the way, there were a bunch of Mario PC games.
Hmm no, I was thinking of Mario Chess. I might check on those PC games and how 3rd parties crap-up Nintendo’s great mascot. >:j
Did somebody ever play that “Where is Mario?” game or something like that? Was it like the Carmen Sandiego games?
