It was released for the MS-DOS in 1993 and the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] in September 1994, following ''[[Mario's Early Years! Fun with Letters]]'' and preceding ''[[Mario's Early Years! Preschool Fun]]''. ''Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers'' takes place on a set of islands where [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach]] can sail to. The player can click one of the islands to enter, after which the player sees [[Luigi]] asleep. Once the player clicks him, they have to participate in various learning activities.
| |
| | |
| ==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 (Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers)|Counting World]]:''' The player attempts to click objects in '''Mario's Bedroom''' and '''Mario's Kitchen''' to learn to count.
| |
| *'''[[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 (Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers)|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.
| |
| *'''[[Sorting World]]:''' The player attempts to pick the item that is similar to something (i.e "Pick a triangle").
| |
| *'''[[Sing Song World (Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers)|Sing Song World]]:''' A world where nursery rhymes/children songs are reenacted with the Mario cast. They are the aforementioned Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, {{wp|If You're Happy and You Know It}}, The Alphabet song (A song recalling the letters of the English alphabet to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star) and {{wp|It's Raining, It's Pouring}}.
| |
| | |
| ==Console differences==
| |
| The SNES version of the game is generally the same as the PC edition, but with some differences due to reduced space.
| |
| | |
| *Options to turn off music/sounds/voice clips, randomize the questions or show text in worlds that have it were removed.
| |
| *The help screen with tips on how to continue learning outside of the program was removed.
| |
| *Yoshi was added as a third playable character.
| |
| *Various background graphic differences.
| |
| *Like its predecessor, [[Sing Song World (Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers)|Sing Song World]] was removed.
