“When the Queen is in residence, Buckingham Palace flies the royal standard (flag). The Palace is in St. James Park and has been the London home of the Royals since Queen Victoria reigned in 1837. The "home" home was built in 1703 for the Duke of Buckingham, and still has his name. The changing of the guard takes place daily (every other day in winter). It has become an unofficial tourist sport to make somber guards smile. The watchmen's tightly strapped bearskin caps appear to be the reason their serious expressions.”
Pamphlet, Mario is Missing! (PC)

Buckingham Palace appears in PC versions of Mario is Missing! as a visitable location. Located in London, Buckingham Palace is the main home of the British royal family since 1837, beginning with Queen Victoria.[1][2] Buckingham Palace was closed when a Koopa Troopa stole the Guard's bearskin hat, until Luigi returned it to the curator.
