'''Paris''' is a city on [[Earth]]. It is the largest city in France, and is also the capital. In the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario'' series]], Paris debuted in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', originally being referenced in the episode "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]", and later also appearing in two episodes. In its latest ''Mario'' appearance to date, Paris was also one of the locations visited by [[Luigi]] in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''.

In almost each of the city's appearances, Paris was invaded by [[Bowser]] and his [[Koopa Troop]] who vandalized several landmarks. [[Mario]] and Luigi usually had to rectify the damages. 

Also in both the ''Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the ''Mario is Missing!'' appearances, the [[Eiffel Tower]] as one of the city's most famous landmarks appeared.

==Appearances and References==
===Original Television Appearances and References===
====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
====="Reptiles in the Rose Garden"=====
Paris got its first mention in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "Reptiles in the Rose Garden". Luigi mentioned that Bowser was planning on attacking several Real World cities, including Paris, with the [[Airship|Doomship]]. Fortunately, Mario and Luigi thwarted Bowser's plan before he could even leave.

====="7 Continents for 7 Koopas"=====
The city was later seen briefly in the episode "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]". Bowser had ordered his [[Koopalings|children]] to each take over one of the Real World's seven continents, and had assigned [[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie Koopa]] to take over [[Europe]]. Kootie Pie then traveled to the [[Louvre]] museum, where she used her [[Magic Scepter]] to transform all the paintings into paintings of herself. Mario eventually showed up to defeat Kootie Pie, and restored the paintings to their proper forms.

====="Super Koopa"=====
Paris was then featured in the episode "[[Super Koopa (TAoSMB3 episode)|Super Koopa]]", with most of the episode taking place there. [[Ludwig Von Koopa|Kooky Von Koopa]] had created a [[Power Pendant]] for Bowser, which could grant him the Mario Bros.' Power-Ups. However, the pendant only worked in the Real World, so Bowser kidnapped Luigi, and took him through a [[Warp Pipe]] leading to Paris.

In Paris, Bowser was able to use the pendant to become [[Raccoon Koopa]], allowing him to fly. He quickly tied up [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and tied her to the Eiffel Tower. Bowser then became [[Frog Bowser]], so that he could pursue Mario, Luigi and a [[Submarine Captain]] in a submarine and capture them. He then threw them in the [[Bastille]] and told his some of his kids to come to Paris and run ammuck. Kootie Pie tried on many bizarre dresses at a clothing store, while [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip Koopa]] and [[Iggy Koopa|Hop Koopa]] replaced paintings at the Louvre with their own "masterpieces".

Princess Toadstool managed to slip a message to [[Toad]] through the [[Warp Zone]] connecting the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to Paris, telling him to bring lots of Power-Ups to Paris in order for Mario and Luigi to fight Super Koopa. Toad then sneaked a cake into the Bastille that contained a [[Super Leaf]] in a [[Brick Block]], allowing Mario to become [[Raccoon Mario]], so that he could escape from prison by tail-whipping the wall.

A [[Sledge Bros.|Sledge Bro.]] informed Bowser about what happened, so he became Raccoon Koopa to deal with Raccoon Mario and Raccoon Luigi. While he was distracted, Toad rescued Princess Toadstool from the Eiffel Tower. After some more fighting, Mario and Luigi managed to defeat Bowser by overloading the Power Pendant, sending the Koopa King back through the Warp Zone, where his kids followed. Mario then commented that Paris wouldn't be seeing the [[Koopa]]s ever again, and that they couldn't have saved the city without Toad's help.

Paris made its only video game appearance to date in ''Mario is Missing!'' as one of the cities Luigi visited in order to defeat the second boss of the game, [[Iggy Koopa]].
