Gameplay[edit]
The game is structured as a quiz, with multiple choice questions that ask about different Super Mario games, places, and characters, all written on a chalkboard. Before the player starts the game, they can choose between three difficulties: Easy, Medium, and Hard; each difficulty presents ten different questions. As the player goes through the questions, they are accompanied by Mario and a Bob-omb. If the player gets a question right, the word "CORRECT" is shown on the chalkboard and Mario jumps in the air. If the player gets a question wrong, then the word "INCORRECT" is shown on the chalkboard and Mario crosses his arms.
