Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Typing game — The entry states 'Type Attack from Sirius Software and the unrelated Typo Attack from Atari, Inc. are both shooter-inspired typing games released in 1982.' However, 'Typo Attack' was not released by Atari, Inc.; it was published by Sirius Software in 1982, not

Epistory – Typing Chronicles — The game was a finalist for Best 3D Visuals at the Unity Awards 2016 — this category did not exist that year, and Epistory is not listed among finalists in official Unity Awards records.

Glyphica: Typing Survival — The browser-based demo release date is listed as October 22, 2025, but the game was released on October 9, 2024; a demo released in 2025 would be after the full release, which contradicts typical release chronology and is likely a factual error.

JumpStart Typing — The game features characters from *JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island*, not *JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain*.

JumpStart Typing — Medals are not earned in several activities, not just 'The Fans Go Wild'; for example, Roller Racer, Keyboard Kicks, Trail Blazer, and Cliff Hanger also do not award medals.

Kewala's Typing Adventure — The claim that the game was localized for the Japanese market by Japan Data Pacific is not supported by widely-known canon; Typequick's own history and contemporary sources indicate the Japanese version was handled by Typequick's own subsidiary or partner, not

Kewala's Typing Adventure — The claim that the game won Software Product of the Year in the Social/Life skills category at Japan's 1997 SOFTIC Award ceremony is unverifiable and likely incorrect; the SOFTIC Award did not have a 'Social/Life skills' category in 1997, and no record of this

Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure — The entry says the game includes 403 Pokémon. The actual game includes 386 Pokémon (from Bulbasaur through Deoxys, covering Generations I–III), not 403.

Mario Teaches Typing — The claim that Mario Teaches Typing was the first game in which Mario spoke is incorrect; earlier instances exist.

Mario Teaches Typing — The claim that the game sold 800,000 copies is not verifiable from reliable sources.

Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing — The entry states 'The Software Toolworks, founded by Les Crane, Walt Bilofsky, and Mike Duffy', but Walt Bilofsky and Mike Duffy were not co-founders; they were employees or contractors.

Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing — The entry states 'In 2021, Encore, Inc. released Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 2020', but the actual release was in 2020, not 2021.
