Game Description
Mario Teaches Typing is a licensed edutainment game developed and published by Interplay Productions. It’s one of the few officially licensed Mario video games. Mario Teaches Typing was first released in 1992 for MS-DOS, with the option of using two 3’5″ floppies or a single 5’75” floppies. In 1994, it was released as a CD-ROM for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. Mario Teaches Typing was created to help computer users improve their typing skills, as the name suggests. Mario Teaches Typing 2 was released in 1996 as a sequel to Mario Teaches Typing. The music for Mario Teaches Typing was taken entirely from Super Mario World.
Mario speaks for the first time in the MS-DOS version of Mario Teaches Typing. Ronald B. Ruben provided the voice for him in that version. In the CD-ROM version, he is replaced by the iconic floating Mario head. He is voiced by Charles Martinet in this version, and he has remained Mario’s voice actor ever since.
