Mario's Game Gallery is a computer game developed by Interplay Entertainment Corp. and published by Presage Software, Inc on February 23, 1995. It was later re-released as Mario's FUNdamentals.

[edit] Gameplay

Its gameplay consists of the player competing against Nintendo's Mario in games of checkers, Go Fish, dominoes, backgammon, and yacht (a version of Yahtzee). It is the first game to feature Charles Martinet as the voice of Mario, predating Super Mario 64. The game was rated "K-A" (Kids to Adults) by the ESRB.

Most game pieces and cards are represented by characters from the Mario series. For example, in checkers, one player uses baby Yoshis while the other uses Koopa Troopas; when one of these is kinged, it turns into an adult Yoshi or Bowser, respectively.
