There are so many "off' things about this game. There's the really strange sound font, the really fucked up sprites (yoshi's camera-facing sprite and Bowser in particular), there's the enhanced violence (Koopas exploding and falling apart, Bowser disintegrating at the end), it's never really explained why you need to be an expert on local history in order to *return stolen items*... One thing I always liked was the music though - every song is a "regional" remix of an SMB song, and they did a really good job on those, screwy soundfont be damned. Thanks for the run!
Omg tell me about it! I rented it once way back in the day from a video store thinking it would be similar to super Mario world but this shit sucked!!!
I had both this and Mario's Time Machine as a kid and had no idea why there was such a drop in quality. I think this was also before I could even read (I remember asking a neighbor to read out the intro of Time Machine for me) so I didn't *get* that they were educational. I was lost.
Haha! I know the feeling guys. But I gotta admit, its such a confidence going back to this game as an adult and just BLAZING through it like its chopped liver! I feel so smart =~)
What I find strange is how this game came to see the light of day but Super Mario World 2, the original version didn't? I know we got Yoshi's island, but still, and that's considered Super Mario World 2. This game seems like it should have never seen the light of day.
Why is it a trend in the late 80's and early to mid 90's that shitty games always have ballin' soundtracks? Silver Surfer was pretty damn bad and it had kickass music...heck most LJN games could say the same, and of course this game.Yes it's shit as an educational game, and the sounds are kinda off, but the music score itself is full with rather catchy SMW remixes
If you are wondering who the girl is at the information desk in Mario is Missing for Nintendo consoles, it is Princess Daisy. Princess Daisy's 90's appearances were treated like shit. I guess she literally was a rejected Shigeru Miyamoto creation.
I played this on an emulator (don't) and I had no dang idea about what to do! Years later, i finally beated this craze of a game. But never expected this had speedrun.
Seriously impressive menu speed. What's the reason for door order in the dungeon screen? Seems it would be faster to go left to right unless there's a change that isn't obvious.
Mario: --Lives in a fantasy --Dies in like 2 hits --Knows nothing --Speaks unintelligable Italian --Has to hatch Yoshi from an egg --Saves his girlfriend (like a simp) --Only gets to meet the Princess at the end of the game --Needs to blow up a bridge just to kill Bowser Weegee: --Lives in the REAL WORLD --Enemies don't DARE to even touch him --Has a comprehensive knowledge of geography --Is conversational in all major languages --Can summon Yoshi at ANY TIME from ANYWHERE --Saves his brother, because HOSE come AFTER Bros. --The Princess is his coworker --Dispatches Bowser with his personal mega-cannon he had installed underneath Bowser's floorboards, before Bowser even knew what was happening Obey Weegee.
I neverknew what to do untill recently but it's boring crap , you have to guess wich country you are and lead you to it, then you had to kill koopas to grab their items, then you have to ansure questions from stores and you have to go to those stores in a fixed pattern, then you got to go in the purple pip, to get to the next level. I don't care about thise shitty remixes of the maintheme tune( except the castle. The ending sucks, no fight with bowser, that's insane.
Definitely the most DISAPPOINTINGLY awful game in existence. They trick you into thinking you're getting a Super Mario world or a Yoshis Island. I'm convinced that 99% of the crap-cartridges WOULD NOT have sold if people really knew what an abortion of a game this really was.
Not to try to beat you, but was hoping if you could share your turtle program. Its pretty hilarious that it exists, so I wanted to take a look at it, if thats ok. I would have PM'd you but youtube sucks
Sorry for not replying to your comment earlier. I didn't realize how badly UA-cam had messed up the comment system until yesterday. I don't want to release the program as it is right now because the code is sloppy and ugly. If I ever get motivated enough to clean it up and write a decent test suite, I'll put it on GitHub or something and link it on the game's SDA knowledgebase page (kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Mario_is_Missing!_%28SNES%29). I'm working on other games at the moment, so I'm not sure when or if that will happen. :
***** Yeah, I realize the code might be messy. How about letting me and my idiot friend who both love mario is missing to look at it and try and clean it up for you? I know this sounds weird but we both love mario is missing, we care a lot about it.
thebigtarget1 You're trying to tell me there are two people who actually like this game? I don't believe you. :P Seriously, though, give me a few days to clean up the obviously stupid bits and add something to serialize the level data (the program currently expects you to provide a savestate for each level). Also, to write a readme.
Yeah me and my buddy have played through this game 3 times together in the last few months so we wanted to try out playing it really fast. Our favorite answers are birthday cake and open ocean
After looking at the code again, I remembered that simulating the whole game takes like 10G RAM, so I dunno if you want to run the program or not. I put the code on GitHub anyway, though: github.com/uusdfg/mim-router. I still haven't removed the requirement to supply a directory full of savestates, so the program might be tricky to run even if you do have the RAM. If you just want to play the game rather than hack on the routing program, you'll probably find my speedrun route notes more useful. I can post them when I get home from work.

The fact that Yoshi magically turns his arms from orange to green annoys me more than it should....
Underrated speedrun
Not princess being saved dangerous
You must be a special kind of sadist to speed run this game.
Should check other speedrun games out there. All about settin records regardless of game.
@@_kryle_ fax
That would be masochist
this shit never made any sense when I was 4 years old
Omg tell me about it! I rented it once way back in the day from a video store thinking it would be similar to super Mario world but this shit sucked!!!

This is trubbish..

Wow Japan has a toyota dealer at every corner
The first game to give luigi a main role, but the game is educational... *why*
Very impressive man. Amazing speedrun
What I find strange is how this game came to see the light of day but Super Mario World 2, the original version didn't?

oh man, this takes me back and i barely remember this game
WOAH! This was a SICK speedrun!!
If you are wondering who the girl is at the information desk in Mario is Missing for Nintendo consoles, it is Princess Daisy. Princess Daisy's 90's appearances were treated like shit. I guess she literally was a rejected Shigeru Miyamoto creation.
It took a long time for me to find out how to get Yoshi
I watched you stream attempts of this for a long time. I don't know why. I'm still impressed.
I played this on an emulator (don't) and I had no dang idea about what to do!
Years later, i finally beated this craze of a game.
But never expected this had speedrun.
i remember getting this game with mega man x for a five or so day rental from blockbuster for a gift. man why did they do luigi like this

*The maddest of lads*
Mario:
--Lives in a fantasy
--Dies in like 2 hits
--Knows nothing
--Speaks unintelligable Italian
--Has to hatch Yoshi from an egg
--Saves his girlfriend (like a simp)
--Only gets to meet the Princess at the end of the game
--Needs to blow up a bridge just to kill Bowser
Weegee:
--Lives in the REAL WORLD
--Enemies don't DARE to even touch him
--Has a comprehensive knowledge of geography
--Is conversational in all major languages
--Can summon Yoshi at ANY TIME from ANYWHERE
--Saves his brother, because HOSE come AFTER Bros.
--The Princess is his coworker
--Dispatches Bowser with his personal mega-cannon he had installed underneath Bowser's floorboards, before Bowser even knew what was happening
Obey Weegee.
Thanks for the quick reply! I had a hunch it was some sort of pseudo-RNG manipulation but confirmation is always nice.

Bowser has died again. No big surprise. This time he died to the pluto-like cold temperatures the Antartic has to offer.
***** Technically Bowser doesn't REALLY ever die... he just gets sent flying away...or he retreats
+DakariKingMykan But this time he did because of how cold it is. So what about this time?
You forget... Bowser is full of Fire...
I always loved this game, mostly for the remixes of SMW tunes.
I neverknew what to do untill recently but it's boring crap , you have to guess wich country you are and lead you to it, then you had to kill koopas to grab their items, then you have to ansure questions from stores and you have to go to those stores in a fixed pattern, then you got to go in the purple pip, to get to the next level.
I don't care about thise shitty remixes of the maintheme tune( except the castle.
The ending sucks, no fight with bowser, that's insane.
I was among the people tricked into getting this game when it came out. It was shit, but fuck if it ain't TOP COMFY.
8:57 the forgoten starman
Perfect game.
Also, Tokyo best region due to the beautiful graphics there.
Why would Bowser have a fortress in Antarctica? He’s a fucking reptile
yeah
this game is horrifying from the music to the way it works to LEARNING!
Definitely the most DISAPPOINTINGLY awful game in existence. They trick you into thinking you're getting a Super Mario world or a Yoshis Island. I'm convinced that 99% of the crap-cartridges WOULD NOT have sold if people really knew what an abortion of a game this really was.
anyone remember the tests? where were they
Oh god Buenos Aires is there! :D
I was pissed off as a kid when I rented this from BlockBuster. I thought it was a sequel to Super Mario 🌎 but it turned out to be a piece of shit.
Prince of all Sayians We all did. So many crap games at Blockbuster, holiday weekends were often ruined.
where can I find some adobe
Epic music 15:14

Say what you will about it being a run of the mill edutainment game, but you can't knock the soundtrack, it had some snazzy tunes.
Not to try to beat you, but was hoping if you could share your turtle program. Its pretty hilarious that it exists, so I wanted to take a look at it, if thats ok. I would have PM'd you but youtube sucks

That browser is horrifying how DoD he get into a kids game!?!!?
This could have been a cult classic but they just had to make it an education game
I never understood how to play this Game properly.
Not as a Kid not as an Adult.......never.
Running Speed

22:52 A.i. !! Iverson!!
TAS DE 15 MINUTOS
Shit game.
Really good soundtrack.
Welp its cannon now that bowsers castle is in antarctica
I feel bad for bowser he is not the bad guy

This is one of the shittiest games of all time.
Not only is it *not* fun, I learned NOTHING from this "educational game."
The most boring and confusing game of mario in the universe
