'''{{wp|Mexico City}}''' (Spanish: '''''Ciudad de México'''''; Nahuatl: '''''Āltepētl Mēxihco''''') is the capital and largest city of {{wp|Mexico}}, [[North America]]. It appears as a setting in several works related to the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].
==History==
===''Saturday Supercade''===
[[File:SS Mexico City.png|thumb|Bones, Junior, and the Roller Stars arriving in Mexico City]]
In the ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'' episode "[[The Amazing Rollerskate Race]]", Mexico City appears as a place where [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] and [[Bones Bailey]] go to supervise the [[Roller Stars]] during a rollerskating race and also catch [[Al]] and his partner, who are after their skates.

===''Mario is Missing!''===
Mexico City is one of the locations that can be visited 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!'']]. 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]]. Luigi rescues the city by finding the stolen artifacts and returning them to their respective landmarks. Besides retrieving artifacts, Luigi has to also figure out where he is to use the [[Globulator]] to call [[Yoshi]] to get rid of the [[Pokey]] blocking the exit. To deduce his location, he has to gather hints from people in the city.

In the PC versions, Luigi is contacted by the city's fictional mayor, [[Mayor Devotegetter]], over videophone, at the beginning and end of his adventure in Mexico City.
