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.
I′ve installed the dosbox, but when I try to install the install.exe file, I get an error message that says my version of windows won′t run this program. What should I do?
BTW, to the commenter below: 'words/min' usually means how many words you type per minute and is a measure of your typing efficiency. I think these days if you can 30 WPM it′s pretty OK, especially for normal emails and stuff.
The Mario series is one that has way more hits than misses, but games like Mario Teaches Typing 2 show that there are some strange entries in the series too. This was released at a time when Nintendo allowed a couple of companies to have a go at making games with their characters. The NES and SNES already had educational Mario games and someone thought that Mario was the guy to teach kids about typing.
Who Wrote This?
One of the things that takes many people by surprise the first time they play Mario Teaches Typing 2 is just how story driven it is. The basics are Mario and Luigi are walking along when a magic typewritten appears in front of them. It types out a scroll that has what can be best described as a prophecy! And It gives out a warning, but Mario tries to type anyway causing it to blow up and land in different parts of the Mushroom Kingdom.Mario and Luigi decide to go and track down the pieces of the magic typewriter to not only do what the scroll says but also help Mario be a better typist. It is actually pretty cinematic, features a lot of writing, voice acting and cut scenes. They are of the so bad they are good variety. The Mario head that is at the start of Mario 64 actually got its start in this game here so that is pretty cool.
Does Mario Actually Teach You To Type?
I think calling Mario Teaches Typing 2 an actual game is a bit of a stretch. However, I will say that this is actually a pretty solid typing tool. You can either jump in and just take one of the lessons any way that you want it. Or you can actually follow what the game tells you to do and do things in order where the lessons get more advanced as you go. It really is quite a good typing tool and the fact that Mario is there does make it something that would keep interested.
It is not just the different typing exercises that make Mario Teaches Typing 2 such a good typing teacher. It actually gives very impressive feedback. After each “level” you will be given a report on how you did. This is actually pretty in depth and it will let you know how many mistakes you made, but it will also tell you the letters that you had a bit of trouble with too. The fact that you have to type in order to make Mario progress through the level is something I am sure kids would love. It is also something that will probably make them learn to type without them even actually realizing they are.
While this is one of the weirdest entries in the Super Mario series. The first Mario Teaches Typing game is pretty lame. Yet, I will say that when you actually dig into it, Mario Teaches Typing 2 is actually a very well made typing teacher that will actually help you become better at typing. Plus this is a really cool collectible piece to have in your collection as it is so odd.
