Mario Teaches Typing Review

This week we continue our Month of Mario with a look at one of the LEAST known Mario games of all time: Mario Teaches Typing. Before Nintendo learned to be overly protective over their properties, they let all sorts of companies get their hands on their mascots. The results varied, but occasionally the world got a game which was too strange to forget. But is this Mavis Beacon inspired game worth picking up, or is it nothing more than a shiny coat of Mario coloured paint on an otherwise lackluster piece of software? Before giving our impressions of the game, we give our final thoughts on The Super Mario Bros movie, and talk about the strange development history of Mario Teaches Typing.
