(Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']]. In the NES version, it is part of the sixth pair of levels alongside [[Cairo]]; in every other version, it is in the second set of five levels. Just like all the other cities in ''Mario is Missing!'', Mexico City was invaded by [[Koopa Troopa]]s. The enemies stole artifacts from various local landmarks: a [[Fine Arts catalog|catalog]] from the [[Fine Arts Palace]], the [[Diego Rivera Mural|Diego Rivera mural ''The History of Mexico'']] from off the walls of the [[National Palace]], the titular part of the [[Angel of Independence]] monument, and in the PC version, a [[Mexican tile|tile]] from the [[Zocalo|Zócalo]] and the [[Top of the Pyramid|top]] of the [[Pyramid of the Sun]].

To deduce his location, he has to gather hints from people in the city. | | Mexico City appears in all versions of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''.
