Box Art

Mario is Missing! is an edutainment game for the NES, Super NES, and for DOS. The gameplay is widely panned by critics, although its Super Mario World music remixes are recognized.

Story

Mario is Missing! (MS-DOS)
The PC rerelease version of the cover.

Bowser has kidnapped Mario and taken him to his 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.

DOS Version

Gameplay

In each level, Luigi must retrieve three artifacts which were stolen by several Koopa Troopas 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 pipe is occupied by a large Pokey. Enemies cannot hurt the player so the boss fights are perfectly easy.
