Mario is Missing!
Developer: The Software Toolworks Publisher: Nintendo Platform: SNES Released in US: 1993 This game has debugging material. This game has a hidden sound test. This game has a hidden level select.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

A poor attempt at teaching kids geography. Even putting Mario characters into this game doesn't make it any better. Notable for two things; 1: Being the First game Luigi has a starring role in, and 2: One of the few Nintendo-related games that was released on multiple platforms (NES, SNES and DOS). The Luigi thing is way worse though, on the DOS release. (It inspired the whole "Weegee" thing...)

Debug Menu

When the title screen has completed loading (Search for Mario and Continue Search is displayed), press L + R + Select + Start on Controller 2. A menu will appear that comes with a sound test, a starting castle modifier, and an option that says "Show Loot". This only works on the English version of the game.

Setting "Show Loot" to Y (or Yes) allows the player to see if a Koopa has an artifact. By pressing R or Select to view the map, blinking Koopas will appear to show that they do have an artifact.

Setting "Castle" to 2 or 3 will make Luigi start on the second or third floor, respectively.
