I'm pretty sure all the edutainment titles predate Charles Martinet as the voice of Mario, and I don't think Nintendo would ever make a game like that these days.

The wiki page literally says Charles Martinet voiced Mario in that game.

The CNN article says Martinet started with Mario Teaches Typing in 1994.
