''Mario is Missing!'' was originally released for PCs, only able to be playable via the use of MS-DOS. However, the game was later released on the [[NES]], [[SNES]], and was rereleased on the PC; the PC rerelease did not require the player to use MS-DOS to access the game. ''Mario is Missing!'' was the only ''Mario'' game to ever be programmed specifically for MS-DOS's coding compatibility.
The only ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' games specifically developed for and playable via MS-DOS are the original releases of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' and ''[[Mario Teaches Typing]]'', both edutainment games.
