It was devised by Royal Industries Co. Ltd., a Japanese appliance and sewing machine company. It is the first of two textile software releases of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], the other being ''[[Mario Family]]'' on the [[Game Boy Color]]. | | '''''I am a Teacher: Super Mario Sweater''''' (「アイアムアティーチャー スーパーマリオのセーター」 ''Ai Amu A Tīchā: Sūpā Mario no Sētā'') is a [[Famicom Disk System]] game released on August 27, 1986 only in Japan.

| Royal Industries Co. Ltd. realized that it could profit from a sweater-design program, which led to the development of this software. The company eventually made a real-life version of the software and sold it for 2,900¥ (about $24 in United States Dollars).<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20030810014655/http://www.dojomediaserver.com:80/specials/Famicom/knife_NES-001.html|title=Under the Knife: NES-001|language=en|publisher=Nintendojo|date=August 10, 2003|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref>
| | The company realized that they could make a lot of money by releasing a sweater-design program, which led to this game. Players could design the sweater they want, putting pictures of famous characters such as [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Toadstool|Peach]] and [[Bowser]] on the sweater and then the company would make a real-life version for 2,900 Yen (about $24 in United States Dollars). |

| One month after the release of ''I am a teacher: Super Mario Sweater'', companion software titled ''I am a teacher: Teami no Kiso'' ("''I am a teacher: The Basics of Hand-Knitting''") was released, which does not feature any ''Super Mario'' characters.<ref>{{cite|url=www.giantbomb.com/i-am-a-teacher-teami-no-kiso/3030-41766|publisher=Giant Bomb|title="I Am A Teacher: Teami no Kiso (Game)"|accessdate=May 11, 2024|language=en}}</ref> The software serves primarily as a knitting tutorial, a feature entirely absent from its predecessor.
