'''''Mario is Missing!''''' is an [[edutainment game]] created for the [[NES]], [[Super Nintendo|Super NES]], and for [[DOS]]. The gameplay was widely panned by critics, although its ''[[Super Mario World]]'' music remixes are recognized. ''Mario is Missing!'' was released on [[MS-DOS]] in 1992, and the console versions came out the following year. A sequel called ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'' was eventually produced. | |||

[[ | == Story == | ||
[[Image:MIM_Cover.jpg|left|thumb|The PC rerelease version of the cover.]] | |||
[[Bowser]] has kidnapped [[Mario]] and taken him to his [[Bowser's Castle|castle]] in Antarctica (in the real [[Earth|world]]. Bowser plans to steal several shipments of hair dryers from [[Hafta Havit Mail-Order]] to melt Antarctica and flood the world. By kidnapping Mario, he assumes that no one will be able to stop him. [[Luigi]], however, proves him wrong. | |||
=== Ending === | |||
In the SNES version at the end of the game, Mario and Luigi load Bowser into a [[cannon]] and launch him into the snow where he freezes instantly and then shatters. | |||
There is a different ending in the PC version. Instead, Bowser is simply pushed out of the final tower and into the Antarctic snow. After Luigi, Mario, and Yoshi leave, Bowser hauls himself out of the snow and throws a nasty look toward the player. | |||
In the NES version, Luigi and Bowser have a boss battle and "Bowser" turns out to be a normal [[Koopa Troopa]] in disguise. Bowser reveals his [[Beach Koopa]] form. | |||
== Gameplay == | |||

In each level, Luigi must retrieve several artifacts which were stolen by several [[Koopa Troopa]]s within the city and return them to their rightful places. He must also deduce what city he's in so that [[Yoshi]] can come to his aid for double the walking and running speed. Without Yoshi, Luigi cannot finish the level, as the exit [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] is occupied by a large [[Pokey]]. Enemies cannot hurt the player so the boss fights are not as hard. | |||
