Mario teaches typing is literally the single reason I can type 110 wpm today. Got grounded once in 5th grade and this was the only video game I was allowed to play lol

Ugh that Mario voice, I'm glad Charles Martinet took over in the sequel. Here he just sounds like the Count from sesame street

[@siahri]

Dude, that voice is Charles Martinet!

[@davidng2336]

The CD-ROM version of this game actually does feature the Mario head.

[@davidng2336]

@Galo Dutan Me too. However, in the CD-ROM version of Mario Teaches Typing 1, Martinet replaces Ruben.

[@rainbowspongebob]

But he sounds like Mario but with lower voice so it sounds good to me

[@benjamingraewin8666]

Love this game. My first time typing back in grade school I couldn’t even hit 30 wpm. I played this game like crazy. Then in junior high my typing improved so much that my teacher who taught that basic typing class suggested I take a more challenging class. I was able to find a data entry job. Average wpm with little to no mistakes is over 60 (highest period over 100). So yeah best educational game for me.

[@POKEGAMERZ-uy5lv]

Its probably one of the best typing games of all time.

[@retronick7774]

and it was the Gayest

This game was amazing to my kid self. No better motivator for learning to type

[@coffeeintheface]

Whoever came up with the idea for a Mario typing game was a genius.

Mario has the most menacing prowl in this game. He's out for blood.

[@Mista808]

Being forced by my Grandma to play this as a kid in the early 90s is why I type 120 words per minute to this day. And typing was the only reason I NEVER had to work at a fast food joint right out of Highschool. I landed Data Entry gigs for 12-14 dollars per hour right out of Highschool and that was in 2001. Would basically be like someone going straight from Highschool to $20 dollars an hour in today's era. :D

[@SunnyHomeVideos]

Your Grandma is pretty cool :)

[@GangiFilms]

School had this back in early 90s, all the kids typed with this game.

@@Champoy000 this was a 90’s pc game. This would have been classified as a good game in the 90’s.

Can't believe this was Charles Martinet's first voice over for Mario. Forever a legend!

[@novustalks7525]

This one isn't Charles. He voiced the second game.

[@logib6831]

The first game he voiced mario was Mario's Game Gallery.

[@dantedoomsday]

This isn't Charles. He did voice Mario in Mario Teaches Typing but only the CD-ROM version. This isn't the CD-ROM

[@logib6831]

Oh, Thanks for letting me know.

[@nozty]

This is why I couldn't wait for computer class in grade school because of this game! From the Philippines! 🇵🇭

[@Relicanth]

This, and Mavis Beacon, are how I learned to type. Also, my mother standing over me with this evil glare, but let's face it, that's a whole different set of issues.

[@bluestreakedladyshe-her8507]

Bogmire42 I used to play Mavis Beacon in high school, as odd as that sounds.

[@steffydouglas]

Holy fuck dude

[@HullBoy-ld6nf]

This Mario's voice sounds kinda cool. He sounds like an artistic college student.

[@Psuedo3D]

It's still Martinet's voice, just not as high-pitched as later games. No WAHOOOOOO or "So long, gay Bowser" here.

[@dopeshades4134]

I forgot how crazy loud this game was.

[@Vellidragon2]

I like how it looks like they misspelt "very" in the thumbnail but it's just the way the text is scrolling.

[@Darkar037]

Not gonna lie, the game is actually decent, it does really good its job of improving typing skills, people complain of being a very bad Mario game but come on, don't expect an exciting and epic adventure from a 1992 educational game

[@bradleymoore2797]

Mario is missing is the worse mario game I've ever played.

"WELCOME TO MARIO TEACHES TYPING!!"

[@boogersincoffee]

I can only remember two things about the first grade: 1) the Around the World math game 2) playing this on a massive computer

[@MFNLY]

I remember this being installed onto the computers in computer lab back in elementary school, and I used to like playing this. I forgot the name of it and thought it was called Super Mario Typing for a long time.

[@JoshuaRWorkman]

Same, minus the computer lab and and not remembering what it was called, but we did have it at school in the class that did have computers and I liked it because it was Mario.

[@DoomKid]

I came here from Chadtronic's video, and the music sounds so, so much better - I wonder why it sounded so bad on his version.

[@NintendoComplete]

I have no idea, maybe whatever they were using for midi emulation?

[@NintendoComplete]

+DoomKid Hmm I just looked at that video, and it sounds like he didn't set up a sound-card. Without running the setup utility, it probably defaulted to the PC speaker.

[@DoomKid]

NintendoComplete Interesting, that's why it sounds so basic! Thank you :)

[@Mrvideosandgames]

Same here. (O_o)

[@ariannesampson5363]

DoomKid said he was a good man but the saints have been on the same team

[@brianlarson784]

I learned typing from this as a kid because they made a game out of it.....Then was pissed I had to waste 3 semesters of Typing class in Jr. High when my GWAM was over 80

[@xtrabit05]

Imagine how disappointing it wpuld be if you asked your mom to get you mario and she brings you this

[@_mnl_]

Nowadays one space after a period is the norm. But this was back when you were expected to type two spaces after a period; that probably messed up my castle stage results more than anything.

[@Gotmilk0112]

I had this as a kid but it would always freeze at the start of the second stage so I never got any further than that.

[@KarIgnishaYumi]

I cant find it but there was a typing game that had a hub world in modern world theme then the mini game would go to mario and a few other game. Villian stole the letter. Or something. Main character was a boy or girl generic or something.

[@meta527II]

I don't get it! I've seen that this game was released in 1992, but I've also seen that it was released in 1991! Can someone please explain this to me? I'm confused!

[@mrgutchman]

I remember playing this a long time ago at a friend's house and I think Mario sounded like a chipmunk when talking lol. Has this happened to anyone else who played this? Is there a way to get Mario to sound like this in the setup file?

[@NintendoComplete]

+Matthew Rivera It sounds like it was probably a problem with the sound card setup. If the drivers were forcing the low quality files to playback at a higher rate than they were recorded at (like a 16khz wave file played back at 44khz) it would play faster and higher pitched than it is supposed to. SB clones sometimes ran into issues like that.

[@9a3eedi]

Man they should make a sequel to this game especially today with today's iPad generation that can't type for shit
