    Second Video in the series.

    Aren’t Mario games always the best games to play like Super Mario Bros 1, 2, 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, and so on… Since Mario is Nintendo’s Mascot…. well, there have been many crappy learning games with Mario in it and well, this is one of those games that should of never existed!

    Today’s… Game… is… Mario’s… Early… Years… Preschool… Fun… Ok.. I’ll stop with the dot dot dot. I don’t see how kids can learn from such a crappy game. Good thing I never played this as a child. :) This game was released on the Super Nintendo (SNES). Nintendo did license it too (you can’t see it because I had the text on top of it by mistake).
