''''' Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers''''' is an educational [[Mario]] game that taught numbers and basic geometry/sorting to children. It was released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and PC in September 1994 (the other two games in the ''[[Mario's Early Years! (series)|Mario's Early Years!]]'' series, ''[[Mario's Early Years! Fun with Letters|Fun with Letters]]'' and ''[[Mario's Early Years! Preschool Fun|Preschool Fun]]'', were released in October and November of that year respectively). The player may use a [[SNES Mouse]], though this is optional.

The game takes place on a set of islands to which [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Princess Peach]] sail. The player can click one of the islands to enter, after which the player sees [[Luigi]] asleep. Once the player clicks him, various activities must be performed to learn.

==Islands==
*'''[[Number World]]:''' The player attempts to find the numbers and click them to advance to the next level. This island is a series of city-related locations.
*'''[[Counting World]]:''' The player attempts to click objects in '''Mario's Bedroom''' and '''Mario's Kitchen''' to learn to count. The player can leave by clicking the [[Warp Pipe]].
*'''[[Comparing World]]:''' The player attempts to find an object (i.e "find the medium-size swing" or "find some water") to learn about things to compare; this island features a park.
*'''[[How Many World]]:''' The player attempts to click the item with a number to increase their ability to count i.e. "Find the 8 peanuts in the bag", or "Find the four whiskers". This island features a zoo.
*'''[[Shape World]]:''' The player must click on a given shape when directed to do so.
*'''[[Same and Different World]]:''' Given a set of items, the player must select the one that is least related to the others. This game occurs at midnight
*'''[[Sorting World]]:''' The player attempts to pick the item that is similar to something (i.e "Pick a triangle").
