Verrrry Strange Gameplay & Nightmare Fuel for Kids / Mario's Early Years Preschool Fun / COMPLETED

We're playing Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun (#713) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as part of my quest to beat all 717 officially released North American SNES games. Welcome to Super Hardcade! This time we're diving into one of the most unusual games in the entire SNES library. Released as an educational title for young children, Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun trades platforming, power-ups, and Bowser battles for lessons in colors, shapes, counting, opposites, listening skills, and basic vocabulary. What follows is a surprisingly hilarious journey through one of Nintendo's strangest Mario spin-offs. Armed with nothing but the SNES Controller (not the SNES Mouse) and an endless stream of educational prompts, I attempt to conquer Opposite World, Listening World, Body World, Color World, Counting World, Shape World, and more while questioning nearly every design decision along the way. Of course, these decision were made in the moment at the time but, they have not aged well. From identifying vegetables and counting paint brushes to touching my hair, wiggling my nose, and listening to some truly unforgettable voice acting, this episode showcases a side of Mario history that many Nintendo fans have never experienced. Whether this qualifies as a game, educational software, or some strange 1990s fever dream is still up for debate. 🎮 Challenge Rules: • Beat all 717 North American SNES games • Play on the hardest difficulty whenever possible • Use default settings if no difficulty options exist • Complete each game according to reasonable completion standards • Document the entire journey Current Progress: 🎯 Game #715: Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun 🖱️ Played using the SNES Controller, and not the SNES Mouse 🎓 Completed the educational activities 📚 Continuing toward all 717 North American SNES games Topics Covered: • Mario's Early Years Preschool Fun gameplay • Rare and obscure Mario games • Educational Nintendo games • Mario spin-off history • Preschool learning games • Counting, shapes, colors, and opposites • Weird SNES games • Forgotten Super Nintendo titles • Retro gaming challenge series If you enjoy retro gaming, obscure Nintendo releases, educational video games, Mario history, SNES collecting, hidden gems, weird retro games, and seeing every corner of the Super Nintendo library, subscribe and follow the journey as I attempt to beat every North American SNES release. #MariosEarlyYears #PreschoolFun #Mario #SuperMario #SNES #SuperNintendo #RetroGaming #NintendoHistory #EducationalGames #ObscureGames #SNESMouse #GameCollecting #RetroGames #GamingChallenge #MarioCollector
