Mario teaches typing, Mario is missing. Where are my other Mario’s?

This data is very incomplete, and thus I conclude that there are very many Mario’s missing.

This analysis was limited to titles with polygon and multicolor logos.

Mario is missing is just regular text. Mario teaches typing is multicolor, but not the polygon style.

The box art is regular text, but immediately in game after starting the cartridge you get polygonal multicolored text.

Title screen seems more authoritative than box art, which during the NES/SNES era was quite wild. (See megaman)

It's great how the most niche of posts still find their aficionados <3

Oh, that explains Hotel Mario being missing.
