By default, these modes are inaccessible if the user does not log on to their profile. The player can change the value to a different number, which is necessary to unlock some later modes. Each profile has a "GOAL WPM" parameter, which is five by default. However, none of the characters have unique abilities. Here, they must enter their name, select a playable character (otherwise known as their "teacher" from the report card): Mario, Luigi, or Princess Peach. The player can create a new profile from the "New" option of the "Student" dropdown menu. The last option is self-explanatory: it allows the player to exit the game (which is also doable with the 'q' key). The first mode provides a single screen of the in-game credits, the second mode is essentially a summarized version of the manual, the third mode shows a gameplay demo for each mode. The File menu has four main options, including the option to activate or deactivate sound effects and music: About, Help, Demo, and Quit. There are three dropdown menus, "File", "Student", and "Lesson". When the game starts, the player is taken to a main menu. Most of the gameplay involves the player typing in a sequence of keys in correspondence to what the computer screen displays. This is his very first appearance in a video game as Mario, predating his major debut in Super Mario 64 by two years. In the CD-ROM Windows and Mac versions, a floating Mario head acts as a narrator and guide to the game, this time voiced by Charles Martinet. In that version, he was voiced by Ronald B. The MS-DOS version is the very first Mario video game where Mario speaks. Mario Teaches Typing eventually spawned a sequel in 1996, Mario Teaches Typing 2. All of the game's music was sampled from Super Mario World. As the title suggests, Mario Teaches Typing was designed for improving a computer user's typing skills. It was later released on CD-ROM for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh in 1994.
Mario Teaches Typing was originally released for MS-DOS in 1992, where the user could either use two 3'5" floppies or a single 5'75" one. It is one of the few licensed Mario computer titles. Mario Teaches Typing is a licensed edutainment game developed and published by Interplay Productions. Not to be confused with Mario's FUNdamentals.
