Where In The World Is Mario?

Runtime: 61 Minutes

Today, we're celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of Mario Is Missing by teaching you all about Mario's educational games published in the 90s. As part of today's story, we'll learn all about 10 different Mario games, including Mario Is Missing, Mario's Time Machine, and Mario Teaches Typing. While doing so, we'll look at some of the factual inaccuracies found within these games. We'll also learn about one of Luigi's rare solo adventures, the 1st video game voice by Charles Martinet, the most recognizable voice of Mario, and a Mario game made by a Sewing Machine Company. So take a seat in Mario's classroom and join us for today's trip down Memory Card Lane.
