Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers is an educational Mario game that taught numbers and basic geometry to children. The game takes place on a set of islands to which Mario and Princess Peach sail. The player can click one of the islands to enter, after which the player sees Luigi asleep. Once the player clicks him, various activities must be performed to learn. Activities include counting objects, identifying shapes, comparing sizes, and sorting.

Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers is a well-meaning educational title, but it's incredibly dated and probably won't hold the attention of modern kids. The activities are basic – counting, basic math, matching – and there's not much actual gameplay here. The cutesy graphics are charming for a bit, but the overall experience is super repetitive and limited. Unless you've got extreme nostalgia for it or are a die-hard Mario collector, this one's a pass.
