The Eiffel Tower 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!'']], marking its first appearance in a ''Super Mario'' game. Alongside the [[Cathedral of Notre Dame]], the [[Arc de Triomphe]], and (in the PC versions) the [[Louvre]], the Eiffel Tower was one of the landmarks visited by [[Luigi]] when he came to save Paris from invading [[Koopa Troopa]]s.

Unlike in real life, there was a French flag at the top of the tower, the [[Tricolor]], which was stolen by Koopas. Luigi had to find and return it, for which he was rewarded a regular prize of 1,400 [[bill|dollar]]s, plus a 2,000 dollar bonus if he returns it first. To prove the Tricolor's authenticity, Luigi must answer the following trivia questions:
* ''What was the profession of the man who designed the Eiffel Tower?''
** Fashion designer
** Politician
** '''Engineer'''
** Steel worker
* ''What is the Eiffel Tower made of?''
** '''Steel and rivets'''
** Plaster and chicken wire
** Gold-plated tin and nails
** Cardboard and bubblegum
* ''For what occasion was the Eiffel Tower built?''
** French Revolution
** Film Festival/Napoleon's birthday (NES)
** '''World's Fair'''
