In the Mario Teaches Typing games, Mario never criticizes the player for underperforming and tries to be understanding and supportive. According to Charles Martinet, that was his initiative, as he felt being negative would go against the core principles of Mario's character.

In the Mario Teaches Typing games, even if the player does badly or underperforms compared to previous attempts, Mario will try to be understanding instead of critical: Uh-oh, that wasn't quite as fast as the last time. Hmm, are your fingers getting tired? Mine would be by now... if I had any. (laughs) Charles Martinet, speaking at TooManyGames Convention 2021: I got this marvelous opportunity to do Mario Teaches Typing. And when I got the script and I'm in the studio - I'm reading the script for the first time, there were things like "You failed!" "That wasn't very good." "That was much worse... that was bad." And I was reading that and I said, "Do you mind if I just, like, play with these words a little bit and just change them around?" because, you know, I never say "no" and I never say anything negative as Mario... and the producer graciously said "Sure, go for it!" And so it became "Oh, that was good, but I know you can do even better!" "Oh, nice one but let's try again!" so it was always uplifting and always trying to be positive. And I think that that is the essence of the character to me - it's that love and that joy. Source: transcript of speech found at youtube.com/watch?v=k9RywNQXCUM

Ever get those reoccurring dreams of being back at your old school with a random scenario like; - "What's the assignment?" - "Do we have homework?" - "Wait? I have to come into class?" Because I do, and it's happened so many times that it actually freaks me out more.

Both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry had such a genuine enthusiasm for performing that it was impossible not to love them for it, there were things more highly and lowly regarded in their bodies of work but both of them threw themselves into everything because it was pure joy for them and that rules

Another star has passed today. Rest in Peace, Tim Curry. (19 April 1946 – August 26, 2026) I remember him fondly for his role as Concierge in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and Sir Nigel Thornberry.
