Mario Teaches Typing Overview
The software presents a typing instruction program featuring characters from the Mario franchise. Players select Mario, Luigi, or the Princess to participate in several distinct activities that require keyboard input.
One activity involves navigating a tunnel by typing sentences that appear on screen to avoid hazards. Another has the character swimming away from aquatic enemies, with safety dependent on typing words scrolling along the bottom. A different scenario requires typing letters shown on obstacles to help a character run past them successfully.
The final activity functions as a challenging practice lesson, where predefined text must be copied under supervision. The four games are structured with progressing difficulty, moving from simpler letter recognition to full paragraph transcription.
