Item Description
Long before he ever picked up a ghost-sucking vacuum, Luigi got his first starring role in a geography lesson. Mario Is Missing flips the usual setup: Bowser has captured Mario, and it is up to his younger brother to save him while thwarting one of the Koopa King's strangest schemes yet.
Bowser's plan is gloriously ridiculous. He wants to melt the ice of Antarctica with an army of hair dryers and flood the world, and to pay for it, his Koopas have fanned out across the globe stealing priceless artifacts from famous cities. Luigi tracks them down city by city, stomping Koopas to recover the stolen treasures, working out which landmark each one belongs to and answering questions about local history and culture before he can move on. It is an adventure built around exploring real places, with Bowser's castle in Antarctica waiting at the end.
Developed by The Software Toolworks and published by Mindscape under license from Nintendo, it was designed first and foremost as an educational game, and that is how it should be judged. Platforming fans looking for Super Mario World tension won't find it here, and reviews at the time were lukewarm for exactly that reason. What you get instead is a sincere, colorful attempt to teach world geography with Nintendo's characters, the kind of game that showed up in classrooms, libraries and birthday stacks in the early 90s.
That makes it a fascinating oddity in the Mario timeline today. It is Luigi's first game as the hero, a snapshot of the edutainment boom, and a reminder of the years when Nintendo let outside studios take its mascots in some wildly unexpected directions.
