Mario Is Missing! is a geography-based educational game developed by The Software Toolworks and released for the PC in 1992 and Nintendo consoles in 1993. The game is the result of Nintendo partering with Radical Entertainment to create an educational Mario game. Nintendo licensed the Mario characters but was otherwise not involved in the game's development. While Mario still stars in the title, this was the first game with Luigi as the main character, and remained the only one until Nintendo released their own take with Luigi's Mansion in 2001. The PC version is notable for giving birth to the "Weegee" internet meme, based on Luigi's creepy sprite.The premise is that Bowser has an Evil Plan to flood Earth, and he sends Koopas to steal famous landmarks to help fund his operation. Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi travel to Bowser's castle to stop him. Mario enters all by himself and gets captured, prompting Luigi to go and rescue him.Luigi progresses in the game by completing levels in Bowser's castle; each floor is guarded by one Koopaling whom you must defeat and contains a number of pipes which transport Luigi to a city containing Koopas. Once in the city, Luigi must collect the stolen artifacts. He must then find and reopen the landmarks by correctly answering three questions about them.A sequel, Mario's Time Machine, eventually came, which is pretty similar, but WITH TIME TRAVEL! | |

| Mario Is Missing! (Video Game) / int_143e6c8d | comment |
Heroic Mime: A bizarre subversion on this. Mario and Luigi both have a lot of dialogue for the opening, but after that, Luigi proceeds to never utter another word for the rest of the game. Mario, on the other hand and quite ironically considering he's, you know, missing, has quite a bit more voice lines throughout the game for whenever he calls you on the videophone. | |

Tempting Fate: In the PC version, once the brothers reach Bowser's castle, Luigi warns Mario to not take any candy from strangers. No less than a few seconds after Mario goes inside, a cutscene bubble shows Mario taking candy from Bowser and then gets captured by a net from underneath. | |

The Super Nintendo game had Bowser shatter after being cracked in ice. The PC version had his kids get burned alive. Considering their other appearances, it's not much of a surprise. What is surprising the fact that Larry outright tells Luigi that's how he can kill them. | |

Excuse Plot: The whole robbed cities part of the story isn't even mentioned in the PC version's opening, and references to it elsewhere are only found in newspapers and Mario's calls (Bowser did it to raise the funds for all the hair driers).

Idiot Ball | |
| Mario Is Missing! (Video Game) / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: There are quite a few moments: In the NES game, Mario notices Bowser and a sack with his name on it, but doesn't think to run. In the PC game, he eats the food Bowser offers him, which makes him lower his guard enough to get ensnared in a net. Also in the PC game, Larry Koopa, who is known in the cartoons for being a manipulative, conniving cheater, (heck, it's in his name) tells Luigi his and his siblings' weakness. Take a wild guess what it is. Back to the SNES version. In the end, Bowser jumps between Mario and Luigi after the latter frees the former. He doesn't attack; he just sits there and watches as Luigi flips a switch and drops him into a cannon. This ends up costing him his life. As we all know, however... | |

Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence: The exits back to Bowser's Castle are blocked off by a Pokey. The player has to figure out where in the world they actually are in order to get Yoshi to come and eat the Pokey so they can leave the stage. A bit understandable, as Luigi has no power-ups to dispose of the Pokey with. | |

A Day in the Limelight: This is Luigi's first outing as the main protagonist of a game, years before he began his more esteemed ghost-hunting career. | |

Parallel Porn Titles: At one point, even with safe search on, an H-Game of the same name was featured on Google before the actual licensed game. Even more disturbingly, that means those searches were more relevant than the original game itself. | |

Totally Radical: The manual's plot summary is so ridiculously cheesy, it could have easily been punched up by Konami USA's localization team. | |

In the NES game, Mario notices Bowser and a sack with his name on it, but doesn't think to run. | |

Added Alliterative Appeal | |
| Mario Is Missing! (Video Game) / int_b5049d76 | comment |
Added Alliterative Appeal: The text in the game frequently does this. Most notably, one of the newspapers you read in Kathmandu talks about the 'M' Club, whose members are Mayors of Moscow, Madrid, Marrakech, and Mexico City (they are said to have met the day before in Montana) and want to make Luigi an honorary member for saving their cities. They regret that Luigi's name breaks the whole alliteration thing (so do the mayors' actual names — respectively, they're Schmutznikov, Smallburg, I. V. Gottserve, and Devotegetter). | |

Fun with Acronyms: The Koopas and Luigi travel across the world using a machine found in Bowser's castle called the "PORTALS", or "Passcode Operated Remote Transport And Larceny System". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Mario Is Missing! (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When Luigi is asked who painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the PC and SNES versions, the choices are Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Splinter. The Irate Gamer admitted this was probably the most amusing thing in the game. One of the mayors when entering the city tries to offer a reward when begging to fix the landmarks. Some of the rewards he suggests are Gauntlet II, Chessmaster, and Miracle Piano. Fittingly enough, the latter two properties were also made by The Software Toolworks. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Mario Is Missing! (Video Game) / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: While each city's mayor acknowledges that a bunch of Koopa Troopas with stolen artifacts are running loose, the citizens don't seem to be bothered by the problem or the fact that there's sentient turtle-like beings roaming the streets. The PC version softens the blow slightly when a civilian, when asked, will tell you where the nearest Koopa is, but that is all you will get in terms of acknowledgement. And, as AVGN pointed out, the citizens of New York are not nonplussed about King Kong being abducted by the Koopas. | |

Impossible Thief | |
| Mario Is Missing! (Video Game) / int_f0085dbc | comment |
Impossible Thief: In addition to stealing Mario, the Koopas go around stealing from national landmarks, which Luigi has to retrieve in order to complete each level. What they've stolen varies. Sometimes they steal something really huge, but other times you'd think they'd be able to get by just fine without. (Just a single brick from the Wall of China and you're closing it down?) | |
