'Mario Teaches Typing' is a video game designed to teach typing skills to children. it was published and developed by interplay and officially licensed by nintendo for windows in 1991 and for MAC in 1995. The game became an instant hit with parents and children alike, as not only did it provide the basics, understanding and techniques to efficeintly master typing but it conveyed it in a video game setting which appealed tremendously to children. Subsequently, a sequel was released in 1997 and like its predecessor it took the market by storm once more. In it, Mario and Luigi must recover the pieces of a magical typewriter that was destroyed when Mario incorrectly typed in a message that would destroy Bowser's castle. Players select a placement test (which is scored based upon speed and accuracy) or participate in lessons given either in a sequence or individually. The gameplay though a little repetitive at times, however still manages to adjust new users of a computer and keyboard adequate reaction time to become familar with typing before the difficulty increases. Also, there are numerous rewards incentives; including a customizable certificate of achievement, color coded on-screen keyboard and flexible lesson plans to keep new users coming back over and over again...
