Turns out that Mario Teaches Typing is actually Martinet's first video game appearance as Mario, predating this game by three years.

FUNdamentals is a Windows 3.1 port, as it can't run under DOS


Mario's Game Gallery is an MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, and Macintosh game released by Interplay in 1995. As the name suggests, it's a compilation of games you play with [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]].

In 1997, the game was re-released as "Mario's [=FUNdementals=]" under Interplay's "Brainstorm" division.

The Windows 3.1 version is way older than that. I have a copy with the original title that has it, and the fact it runs in 512x384 resolution also implies it's actually a port of the Macintosh version.

Absolutely not an example of this. This is an actual strategy used by real players too; the idea is that if your opponent eventually draws the card, you will get it from his hand before he can do anything with it, and the opponent won't know what other cards you have either which can greatly work to your benefit. It has varying degrees of effectiveness, but to call it "stupid" is just silly.


* ArtificialStupidity: In Go Fish, Mario may repeatedly ask for the same card two times in a row that you don't have.

* UpdatedRerelease: Mario's [=FUNdementals=] has more polished graphics, new voice clips, and fixes a few bugs such as slowdowns.
* ViewersAreGeniuses: The game expects you to understand how to play Dominos and Backgammon, both of which are uncommon board games. The help menus don't help either.
* WritingAroundTrademarks: Yacht is obviously [[{{TabletopGame/Yahtzee}} Yahtzee]], just renamed because it's the only game included to be trademarked.
