[edit] Bias

"rather dull game" seems biased

while, it is dull, very, very dull.--JesseMueller 00:11, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

The music is great, though. CrossEyed7 01:48, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Common Words

Do NOT upper-case the letter "I" in "is" for "Mario Is Missing!", because "is" is a very common-type word. --ZachKudrna18@yahoo.com

[edit] Macintosh Version

I own the Macintosh version of this game, but I don't see it referenced on this article. Shouldn't it be included? Thunderforge 02:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Of course. Feel free to add any relavent information. I don't have the game, so I can't. Koweja 14:59, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SMW engine?

The article claims that "The SNES version runs on a very heavily modified Super Mario World engine". By comparing the radically different physics of the two games, I can say that it's most likely not the case. I also took a look at Mario is Missing's RAM memory layout, and it wasn't even remotely similar to that of Super Mario World, making it very unlikely that it's based on SMW's code at all.

I get the feeling that whoever wrote that statement couldn't tell the difference between "game engine" and "graphics". (MiM does use some SMW graphics.)

My suggestion is to either find a source to back up the article's claim, or to remove it.

Since no one has backed it up, I am removing it. --Ninjaedit 22:37, 5 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ninjaedit (talk • contribs)

[edit] Hotel Mario

Are the two games similar in any way shape and/or form? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.45.112.188 (talk) 08:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Besides the fact that both games contain Mario characters, no, not at all. --Smallhacker (talk) 16:14, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Internet Meme

Should there be any reference to the fact that one quote ("You won't find adobe here in Nairobi!") and the Luigi sprite from the PC verison of the game have become popular internet memes? If so, I'm not sure where it would go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yoshiman64 (talkcontribs) 22:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
