==History==
===''Mario is Missing!''===
[[File:Madrid MIMDOS.png|thumb|[[Luigi]] in the DOS version]]
Alongside [[Athens]], [[Marrakech]], [[Mexico City]], and [[Paris]], Madrid is one of the five cities in the DOS and Deluxe versions of ''Mario is Missing!'' that [[Luigi]] has to visit before he can fight [[Roy|Roy Koopa]]. The city has been attacked by a group of [[Koopa Troopa]]s, resulting in various landmarks losing notable items: ''[[Guernica]]'' from the [[Prado Museum]], a [[Matador's Cape]] from the [[Ventas Bullring]], and the [[Lion's Tail from the Parliament|tail]] from one of the lion statues in front of the [[Spanish Parliament|Palacio de las Cortes]]. A bounty is placed on the items' return by [[Mayor Smallburg]], and Luigi sets out to return them. He does just that, fighting off Koopa Troopas and chatting with the locals, and once every item is brought back to its rightful spot, he leaves for [[Bowser's Castle]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
Madrid appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the location of a race course called [[Madrid Drive]]. The course debuted in the [[Summer Tour (2023)|2023 Summer Tour]]. Madrid was the fourteenth and final city to be added to the game, as well as the seventh European city to be added to the game, being the third in a row after [[Athens]] and [[Rome]]. The course features landmarks such as {{wp|Plaza Mayor, Madrid|Plaza Mayor}}, {{wp|Puerta del Sol}} (including the {{wp|Royal House of the Post Office|Royal Post Office}}, {{wp|Statue of the Bear and the Strawberry Tree|El Oso y el Madroño}}, and the {{wp|Sol (Madrid Metro)|Sol Metro station}}), the {{wp|Puerta de Alcalá}}, {{wp|Gran Vía, Madrid|Gran Vía}}, {{wp|Edificio Metrópolis, Madrid|Edificio Metrópolis}}, {{wp|Edificio Capitol}}, {{wp|Edificio Grassy}}, the {{wp|Santiago Bernabéu Stadium}}, the {{wp|Market of San Miguel}}, {{wp|Cybele Palace}}, {{wp|Plaza de Cibeles}}, the {{wp|Fountain of Cybele}}, the {{wp|Gate of Europe}}, {{wp|Edificio España|Hotel Riu Plaza España}}, {{wp|Madrid Atocha railway station|Atocha station}}, {{wp|Parque del Buen Retiro, Madrid|Retiro Park}}, the Prado Museum, the {{wp|Calle de Preciados}}, the {{wp|Fuente del Ángel Caído}}, and the {{wp|Segovia Viaduct}}.

|tourist_2=I'll tell you what the tour bus did. It left me here in old Madrid.

;Luigi Acrophobic?
:Sources close to the koopa organization have revealed Luigi is afraid of heights. The Koopas claim that Luigi will be unable to make his way to the heights of Bowser's castle, since it is over four stories tall. Luigi was unavailable for comment.
;Koopa Tortuga Se Fuga Comiendo Lechuga
:The rash of Koopa crimes continues, as landmarks throughout the city were hit early this morning. In a bizarre twist to an already baffling case, witnesses report that a turtle was seen eating lettuce as he fled the crime scene. Authorities are speculating that there may be a connection between this case and the kidnapping of a famous plumber from Brooklyn.
