>>12648704>go to school>do work sheet>go home>do home work>"oh boy, now to play Mario's time machine! It's gonna be so fun">pop the game in>turn on console>it's a homework simulatorDo you really like this?
>>12648827Yes, I had it on the SNES and have good memories of playing it. https://youtu.be/dCeD9WZKn8k?si=X08tRhqJy3mrty2f
>>12648829Wow anon...
>>12648485>That Mariowiki page with all of the inaccuraciesI assume it was stuff believed at the time, but still.
>>12648829Holy grim
>>12648830>>12649083I had SMW, All-Stars, RPG, the DKCs growing up too so it's not like I had this game and missed out on the "real" Mario games. I know it's probBly not even that great as an educational too but I enjoyed being Mario running around in a semi-realistic world, kind of like a proto-Mario Odyssey. I've never played the NES or DOS versions so I don't know if they were any better or worse.
>>12649018Like what
>>12648485The punchline is you have to speed through it to get the good ending. If you don't rush the tests and skip talking to NPCs you'll get Bowser laughing at you from a tropical beach even if all your answers were right.
>>12648485I wanted Mario Is Missing but got this shit instead (can’t find bonglish cover)
>>12648485Yes, that's literally the entire point of edutainment games. I had Mario is Missing and it genuinely taught me quite a bit about the world.
>>12649132The DOS version is the best version of all these games, the console ports remove a lot of shit for space.
>>12649339Most of it is anachronistic stuff like> Aristotle being an old man when, during the date the game places that period in, he'd be 15 >the people of Egypt using "B.C." despite predating Christ and a formal calendar system or Mario being given pages from "the Book of Marco Polo" despite Marco Polo not having written it at that point>Joan of Arc's shield having the symbol on it despite the game being set before it>Mario giving Juan Sebastian Del Cano a telescope despite telescopes only being invented/patented in 1608, nearly 100 years later (1521)But there's also some actual errors like Caesar taking credit for conquering Pompeii despite it happening before he came to power or them getting Cleopatra's family numbers wrong (i.e. calling Cleopatra's father Ptolemy XI instead of Ptolemy XII and her brother Ptolemy XII instead of XIII), or claiming that Michelangelo left Ghirlandaio because he was bored rather being sent by the latter to Lorenzo de' Medici and considered one of his finest pupils.
>>12650628Most of that seems like austists nitpicking shit nobody cares about.
>>12650634NTA but getting that shit right is pretty much the point of an edutainment game.
