This took me back! I learned a lot from Mario Teaches Typing. In fact, I was the best typist in my class at school largely because of it. I really liked how you could be Mario, Luigi, or the Princess, which was also a point of strong appeal that Mario 2 had for me. It's true, you really had to sort of self-motivate with the game, but I think it really did help me to learn typing and improve my typing to a good, strong level. Wonderful to see this game getting looked at again. I never had the CD version, so the differences are really wild to see!

It was actually this program where I heard the Donut Plains music for the very first time, and its particular arrangement got ingrained into my young mind from playing the game a lot. So when I finally heard the original version of the song in Super Mario World itself and even to this very day, I completely dismissed it because in my mind it was playing it all wrong by playing the two halves in the wrong order. The MTT version of the song just makes more sense to me.

I was 11 when this came out. I had relatively good typing at the time, but this really helped it even more. And Typing of the Dead expanded my skills later on. Kids today miss out on the fun of PCs being a new thing and having to learn to type back then. Now they just grow up with technology and probably can out type me by the age of 5.

Lol Clint when i waa in middle school they actually had this on every cpu in the school and this is how i actually learned to type. xD
I gotta say it worked well.
I type very quickly today and this game kept me paying more attention than i would have otherwise.
Probably the best edutainment game there is.

The original actor you mention - Ronald Rubin - must be the same guy who voiced Morph in X-Men The Animated Series and Artemis in the original Sailor Moon dub. It HAS to be - I can't think of another voice-over performer that is also named Ron Rubin. Saw him in a panel years ago. GREAT dude.

Mario teaches typing was the first typing thing I've ever used.
But, for some reason even to this day when I can type 70 wpm, I really suck at Mario's teaches typing. I think part of the reason is that I never REALLY got used to the fact they use 2 spaces between sentences.

I once watched videos on a promotional Apple CD called MacAdvocate, to teach new users about System 7. 5. In some of them, Mario Teaches Typing was on the Launcher in the background, and until now, I was ever so curious about it. Now I wish that icon had never been in the shots.

This game was a huge hit in my school! (2nd grade in the 90's lol) You say it's pretty useless, but honestly it really helped us type faster, i mean the gloves at the top tell you the correct finger to use for the key, and we all competed for the highest scores lol.

I love that the company that birthed the Fallout franchise (my personal favorite series of all time) also made -Mario Teaches Typing-. You know, if the theory of parallel universes is true some sad people out there got Mario Teaches Typing 4 rather than New Vegas.
