* DanBrowned: Despite the game's ostensibily ostensibly educational nature, it features [[https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_is_Missing!#Mistakes_and_errors a massive amount of errors]] in its teaching material. A few highlights:
** It's stated that Alexander Alexeyevich Gorsky directed ballet until 1942. He died in 1924.
** Someone in Nairobi says that female Asian elephants cannot grow tusks. In real life, they actually can.
** Australia's capital is mistakenly stated to be Sydney instead of Canberra.
** Prisoners in Alcatraz are portrayed as wearing stereotypical black-and-white prisoner shirts. They didn't wear these in real life.
** A lot of places have their names spelled wrong. Caracas in Venezuela is called "Caracus", Stockholm is spelled "Stolkolm", Auckland is called "Auchland", and much more.
** Buildings in Athens have the text "ΟΔΑΝΤΟΚΡΕNΑ" on them. This [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign isn't a real Greek word]], although it could be a misspelling of "ΟΔΟΝΤΟΚΡΕΜΑ", which means "toothpaste".

The game is the result of Nintendo partering with Radical Entertainment to create an educational Mario game. Nintendo licensed the Mario characters but was otherwise not involved in the game's development. While Mario still stars in the title, this was the first game with Luigi as the main character, and remained the only one until ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' came out in 2001.
