The game is set around a group of islands, where each island teaches a different subject to the players. The overall design of the game is based of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where the character graphics are taken from it while the music features rearrangements of various tracks. | ||
This was the last of three educational games to be released in the ''[[Mario Discovery (series)|Mario's Early Years!]]'' series, the others being ''[[Mario's Early Years! Fun with Letters]]'' and ''[[Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers]]''; as such, the game is very similar to the first two games of the series. The main difference between this entry is that the subjects in the islands cover a more general learning, such as learning opposites, colors, and animals. The game, alongside the other two ''Mario's Early Years!'' titles was re-released under ''[[Mario's Early Years! CD-ROM Collection]]'' in 1995. | This was the last of three educational games to be released in the ''[[Mario Discovery (series)|Mario's Early Years!]]'' series, the others being ''[[Mario's Early Years!
