Amsterdam appears in the DOS and CD-ROM Deluxe versions of ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing]]''. It is part of the fourth level set, alongside [[Tokyo]], [[Cairo]], [[Bombay]], and [[Toronto]], and must be cleared to defeat [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]]. Like all the other cities in ''Mario is Missing!'', Amsterdam was invaded by [[Koopa Troopa]]s, who stole artifacts from various local landmarks. In this case, they stole [[Rembrandt's paintbrush]] from [[Rembrandt's House|his house]], a [[Tulip from the Aalsmeer Flower Market|tulip]] from the [[Aalsmeer Flower Market]], a [[diamond]] from the [[Amsterdam Diamond Center]], and the [[Canal Boat steering wheel|steering wheel]] of a boat in one of Amsterdam's [[canal]]s. [[Luigi]] will be rewarded with money by [[Amsterdam mayor|the unnamed mayor of Amsterdam]] if he finds and returns the artifacts to their respective landmarks, which also rescues the city.
