[[de:Mario is Missing!]]
[[Bowser]] has kidnapped [[Mario]] and taken him to his [[Bowser's Castle|castle]] in Antarctica, on [[Earth]]. 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; despite this somewhat-gruesome death, it is best not to take the events of the game entirely seriously, as Bowser has fallen in lava and has been blown up by gigantic mines and still comes back.
 
This ending does not occur in the PC version, with the most developed plot. 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.
 
== Gameplay ==
[[Image:mism45.png|right|thumb|DOS Version]]
In each level, Luigi must retrieve three 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.
