| '''{{wp|Beijing}}''' (Chinese: '''北京'''; Pinyin: ''Běijīng''; Wade–Giles: ''Pei-ching''; Jyutping: ''bak1 ging1''; Yale Cantonese: ''Bākgīng'') is the capital city of {{wp|China}}. It appears in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]], [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]], and [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']], but its place in the game varies. In the PC and SNES versions, it's part of the first level set; in the NES version, it is instead part of the final pair of levels alongside [[Nairobi]]. During the events of the game, [[Luigi]]'s task (given to him by [[Mayor McChan]] in the PC versions) is to return artifacts from famous landmarks in Beijing: the [[Hall of Good Harvest]] from the [[Temple of Heaven]], a [[Stone from the Great Wall|stone]] from the [[Great Wall of China]], the [[Gate of Heavenly Peace]] from the [[Forbidden City]], and (exclusively in the DOS and Deluxe versions) the [[Monument to the People's Heroes]] in [[Tian An Men Square]]. When walking around the city, Luigi also walks across Beijing's Main Street, {{wp|Chang'an Avenue|Chang An Avenue}}, as confirmed by the city's police officer. | | '''{{wp|Beijing}}''' (Chinese: '''北京'''; Pinyin: ''Běijīng'') is the capital city of {{wp|China}}.
