A great typing tutorial that is best described as Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing for kids, Mario Teaches Typing is a full-featured typing program that has something for everyone, although kids with no typing experience will get the most from the program-- while enjoying cute antics of Nintendo's popular Mario brothers.
After you sign in, you can choose from many activities that suit your level of typing proficiency. If you are a beginner, the game will teach you from the ground up, letter by letter. The interface is one of the best I've seen in this type of program: you will see two cartoony hands at the bottom third the screen, which will flash the finger you should use to press keys when the letter shows up in in the top screen.
The top two-thirds of the screen is taken up by attractive graphics, showing Mario (or Luigi or the Princess, whomever you choose) doing his cutesy Mario-things (e.g. knocking blocks, jumping on turtles, etc.) when you press the correct key. Do it right, and you will see Mario advance to the next level, just like in the Super Nintendo version.
In addition to many difficulty levels you can choose from, one of the program's best features is the Report Card, which not only displays your accuracy in percentage and your WPM (words per minute) count, but also "problem keys," i.e. keys you have most trouble with. And as if that is not enough, many sentences you will be typing are taken from famous plays, novels, or historical documents, with the source always given at the end. This adds extra educational value to the package, and make you want to come back to it even after you have mastered typing.
Overall, Mario Teaches Typing is a very enjoyable typing tutor that no house should be without. Two thumbs up!

Do note that this is the much more limited floppy release of the game which lacks the famous M.I.R.T. clips and end-of-level cutscenes. Those are also in Mario Teaches Typing 2, but they're all a bit different.
what is r2dt doin´ singing in a dos game
Nếu có thể,bạn giúp mình trong việc tải phần mềm Mario Teaches Typing với nhé!
They should make Trevor Teaches Typing and if you do well he gives you a bowl of leftovers with a human eye in it like when he made food for Michael.

Even though Mario Teaches Typing is overshadowed by it's sequel and it has decent reviews the game is still fun and has a very friendly design. It's so simple but it still does what it needs to do, it teaches youth about typing so in their future lives they will have some computer skills. I actually had a lot of fun with this game, even though other kids in my generation would absolutely despise the game. However, the music is not that good, and after a while it hurts my head. Also, Mario Teaches Typing was released for the DOS. That infuriates me a little because the DOS, in my opinion, is totally garbage. Yes, it was also released for MAC but is that much better? Sometimes, some sprites can look pretty ugly and some areas lack detail too. Overall, the game is pretty good, if you can get the game to run, lol.
This game taught me how to type when I was 12. It is still the best typeing game I’ve ever seen and I recommend it to anyone that needs to learn how to type
really cool !
it help me types better
Thank you for your support
I want to play this game for my fluently typing
all dos games are not running i am using window 7
The sound doesn't work for some reason
This is not the CD Version that was relased in 1994. This one doesn't contain the infamous Mario Head nor Charles Martinnet voicing him. So yeah this version is just a boring education game without that corny Mario Head that made it so legendary bad.
You still wanna play this for nostalgia if you played this before or just curiousity about the very few officially licensed PC games with any kind of Nintendo's IP.
want to learn by Mario typing
I LIKE YOUR GAME, BECAUSE IT IS IMPROVE MY TYPING ALSO

i like Mario typing because it can give me write fast
Horrible Game!
Why is this game stuck on PC Speakers. Another game on here Flix Mix (Puzzle) uses full Sound Blaster 16 and I know that this game had that capability.
The only problem with this and others that made *Edutainment* a cuss word in the eyes of the corporate lingo was a lot of school faculty at the time didn't know diddly squat about computers so just used them as reward time plus Reader Rabbit gave these software titles a bad taste as schools had discounts if they used it as a mascot.
.
Lot of them were old and getting ready to retire or a young women in their 20s who couldn't/wouldn't even turn them on.
Today's generation missed out on it alot and went straight from game machines to phones which DIDN'T and don't have much if any educational value. Some will argue "But it teaches hand to eye cordination blah blah blah blah! But truth is that's really stretching it there buddy. And did I just see your nose grow a tad longer from that statement or was it always that big?
Phones are tiny and unlike full programs of days goneby apps are just things that run in the background like photo viewer
Smartphones are made for people as smart as Boboklins or dumber if there are any. You know with the ? or ! marks over their heads.
Rusty, the game runs on DOS so you can try using DOS Box. Google it and learn how to mount the game. Windows 10 and 8.1 doesn't support full DOS anymore.
And for those that gave him a negative rating, why? C'mon let's help people not put them down.
i am strongly like this game for typing fast one day to one day
Thank
good game for first user
Where's the CD version? It used a 3D model of Mario's head instead of the sprite at the main menu. It's really weird (The face is) but I was wanting that version as well.
I can't download it in my macbook pro.Why??? Please tell me, I really want to play this game again
I teach myself
