| The '''{{wp|Bolshoi Theatre|Bolshoi Theater}}''' (in Russian: '''Большой театр''', ''Bolʹshoĭ tyeatr'') is a theater that hosts numerous ballet and opera performances, and most notably serves as the base for the {{wp|Bolshoi Ballet}} troupe. 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!'']], it is one of the landmarks in [[Moscow]] that gets ransacked by [[Koopa Troopa]]s (although the game calls the building the '''Bolshoi Ballet''' more often than not). In the NES and SNES versions, a [[Bolshoi Ballet slipper]] is stolen, whereas in the DOS and Deluxe versions, a [[Bolshoi Ballet Tutu]] is stolen; in either case, the entire theater is shut down due to the theft. [[Luigi]] is tasked with returning the stolen clothing article to the theater so that it can be reopened, but he must prove that they are real by answering the questions below: | |
