Mario Teaches Typing 2 is a 1997 video game from Interplay. The game was a sequel to Mario Teaches Typing, with updated and overhauled sections from the CD-ROM edition of that game, as well as fully new cut-scenes to help the game have more of a story. The game is for ages 6 and up.
Developed by Interplay's Brainstorm division for Windows and Mac platforms, Mario Teaches Typing 2 was also aimed at children. The division was formed in late 1996 to focus on Interplay's educational software for children. The sequel features the lessons from the original and adds an onscreen color-coded keyboard as well as the option to customize lesson plans. The beginner, intermediate, and advanced stages return, as well as the drill-based practice mode. The onscreen keyboard mode displays a keyboard with the keys color coded to corresponding fingers in order to familiarize players with touch typing finger placement. Pressing the keys produce a Mario-themed animation.
