'''{{wp|Moscow}}''' (Russian: '''Москва''', ''Moskva'') is the capital city of {{wp|Russia}}. It 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!'']] In the NES release, the entrance to Moscow is located in the fourth room, alongside the one leading to [[wikipedia:Montreal|Montreal]]. It appears much earlier in the SNES version, in which it is one of five cities [[Luigi]] has to visit in order to defeat [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]] on the first floor, the others being [[Rome]], [[Beijing]], [[Nairobi]] and [[San Francisco]]. During the events of the game, Moscow is full of [[Koopa Troopa]]s, and in order to secure the city, Luigi has to visit three landmarks and return one artifact to each that was stolen by the Koopas. The three landmarks are the [[Kremlin]], [[St. Basil's Cathedral]], and the [[Bolshoi Ballet|Bolshoi Theater]]. In the PC version, instead of the Kremlin, the Koopas rob [[Lenin's Tomb]] and the [[Moscow Metro]]; additionally, this version contains Moscow's fictional mayor, [[Mayor Schmutznikov]].

Moscow is also mentioned in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' live-action segment "[[Captain Lou Is Missing]]". Officials from the city send [[Cyndi Lauper]] a message stating that the missing [[Lou Albano]] was nowhere to be found, and request more 8-track tapes. [[Mario]] suggests to send them his Jim Nabors tapes.
