''Mega Math Blaster'' is an EdutainmentGame in the ''[[VideoGame/BlasterSeries Blaster]]'' series. Teaching basic arithmetic, it originally came with a recommended age range of six to twelve. It was subsequently retitled ''Math Blaster: Ages 6-9'' and then ''Math Blaster for 3rd Grade''. And yes, each retitle narrowed the supposed age range, all without the game's educational content ever changing.

The game is a remake of ''VideoGame/MathBlasterInSearchOfSpot'', which in turn makes it the fourth remake of the original ''Math Blaster''. The plot involves Spot getting kidnapped by the slime monster Gelator, who is basically an upgraded version of the Trash Alien. As in the previous version, you play Blasternaut on his mission to rescue Spot.
