==Console differences==
==Console differences==
The SNES version of the game is generally the same as the PC edition, but with some differences due to reduced space.
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System version is essentially a condensed variation of the PC version, like some other edutainment ''Super Mario'' titles of the time. The differences are listed below:
*Unlike the PC version, the player cannot mute the audio, randomize the questions, or show text in worlds where it appears.
*The home console version has no help screen featuring tips on learning outside of the program.
*[[Sing Song World (Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers)|Sing Song World]] does not appear in the home console version.
*Yoshi is a third playable character.
*Some backgrounds are different.
*When completing a level in the PC version, the scene transitions via an iris out on their character while they remain stationary. In the SNES version, the character walks over to and enters a [[Warp Pipe]] on the right side of the screen, followed by an iris out on the pipe's entrance.
**On a related note, a Warp Pipe present at the top of the screen in the PC version allowing the player to exit the world was removed in the SNES version.
*In the PC version, the loading screen when transitioning to different areas features Mario looking at a watch on his wrist. In the SNES version, it only features a black screen.


*Options to turn off music/sounds/voice clips, randomize the questions or show text in worlds that have it were removed.
==Regional differences==
*The help screen with tips on how to continue learning outside of the program was removed.
*In the European PC CD-ROM version, at the start of the game, the player can choose a language between English, French, and German.
*Yoshi was added as a third playable character.
*The French and German versions contain only one song each, respectively "{{wp|Sur le Pont d'Avignon}}" and "{{wp|Hänschen klein}}."
*Various background graphic differences.
*In the French version, the game welcomes the player to the game upon starting the game.
*Like its predecessors, [[Sing Song World (Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers)|Sing Song World]] was removed.
