Mario is Missing is a game aimed at a young audience, to help them learn a bit of history and geography. Mario has been kidnapped and someone has stolen artifacts from around the world. Luigi has to travel to various cities, gather clues to his whereabouts and then using those clues bring Yoshi to the city he is in. When Yoshi is brought to the city, they must find the artifacts and return them to the proper location, but first they have to answer questions about the artifact. The questions range from when it was created, to whom created it, and even some technical questions like how tall it is. When I played it as a young boy I felt it was the best game ever, but I loved learning about the world and SNES was the best system out there. Even though there isn't another game out there on the current gen systems that will educate quite like this one, alot of young children who have played the new systems might not like playing such an old game. I still plug mine in to play, but I can't for too long because the largest glaring weaknesses of the game is the repetivness, and the lack of replay value. It is the same song and dance over and over, so for adults, it woudl get boring quickly. The biggest problem would be getting the younger kids of today to play it. All in all it is a solid education game for the young child. It isn't violent or grotesque in anyway, just good clean education.Read full review
This is the kinda game that a cool teacher would let you play in school. Don't get me wrong, it is fun, but you can't even get hurt by the turtle enemies. The story is kinda lame, one mission you are trying to find the ceiling of the Sistine chapel. How woul somebody steal the Sistine Chapel's ceiling without any guards noticing or citizens. But, it is really addicting and it was worth buying

Between this game and Mario’s Time Machine on the NES and SNES, I guess both versions are very fun to play. It is very interesting how Mario Is Missing would later inspire Luigi’s Mansion.

It's different from most Mario games because your Luigi trying to track down Mario. This game from an educational stand point is a good game to brush up on some geography and history.
