Features: Mario Teaches Typing had selectable profiles. Players could input their name, their WPM (it was automatically set, but could be changed), their character, and what mode they were on.

There were three selectable characters: Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool. They all played the same and were, for the most part, eye candy for the player. There was one major difference, however. In the Outdoor world, the character would break blocks as the player typed it in. While Mario and Luigi leaped up to break blocks, Princess Peach's blocks were down to her waist, and she broke them by holding her dress and smashing them.

The Words Per Minutes setting was automatically set after the first lesson, although this could be changed in the profile menu. After beating a mode, that WPM was raised by 10. If a player was at 55 WPM and beat Outdoors, it would be raised to 65 WPM for Underwater. Additionally, the player could set the minutes he or she played, ranging from 0:30 seconds to 10:00 minutes.

The Mario teaches typing; is an educational game that is designed for teaching typing skills for children.
