Mario is Missing!



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
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.



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.

Trivia

 * 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 splits in half, obviously dying; despite this, 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.
 * Also note that this ending does not occur in the PC version, with the most developed plot; rather, 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. In the SNES version, Bowser was sent to a jungle via a cannon.
