Mario's Early Years: Fun With Numbers (SNES)

Another bland edutainment addition to the third-party Mario game craze made at the time.

A description like this? That works for me!

Developer Easter Egg#

When inside the bedroom, move the cursor so the edge of the top left of the cursor points to where the right edge of the left curtain is. Afterwards, move down all the way, then move up a single pixel. Click on the precise pixel to activate a small sequence featuring photorealistic images of the game's programmers saying "Hello" in a Three Stooges-like manner, followed by them counting up from one to six before disappearing.

This can also be done in the kitchen too, by clicking on the same pixel that triggers it in the bedroom. It is much harder to find the pixel's horizontal location in the kitchen, so it's recommended to use a turbo controller and move the cursor around until you find it.

The "Hello" sounds are also present in Fun with Letters and Preschool Fun, but go unused, and the graphics for the developer heads aren't in either of those games.

Developer Text#

Present at 0xE1AD is error handling text used during development. Similar text can also be seen in the other Mario's Early Years SNES games.
