Mario Is Missing! is one of those weird SNES games that doesn’t play like anything else in the series. You’re basically Luigi running around real-world cities—New York, Tokyo, Paris—collecting stolen artifacts Bowser’s minions swiped. It’s part geography quiz, part platformer-lite, which sounds bizarre but somehow works.

You’ll jump on Koopas to get info, solve little puzzles to return landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, and yeah, it’s educational, but in a way that doesn’t feel like homework. The pixel art’s charming, and the cities actually look distinct, which was impressive for the time. Not your typical Mario game, but if you’re into quirky retro stuff, it’s a fun oddity.
