About Mario Is Missing!

Mario Is Missing! is a 1993 educational puzzle, strategy, and adventure game for Mac and DOS, made and published by The Software Toolworks. It is part of the Super Mario series and is presented from a side view for a single player.

The game is built around exploring a city, where the player moves through the streets to recover artifacts and return them to their proper locations. Landmarks are central to the experience, and players answer questions about each site as part of the process. The educational theme is present throughout, with the goal of teaching players about geography and the world around them.

Compared with its console versions, the Mac and DOS releases are presented more as point-and-click adventures than as platformers. The title is notable within the franchise because it places Luigi in the lead role, with Mario appearing in a supporting part.
