'''{{wp|Paris}}''' is the capital and largest city of {{wp|France}}. It is featured in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', all versions of ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing!]]'', the PC versions of ''[[Mario's Time Machine (PC)|Mario's Time Machine]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The [[Eiffel Tower]] is the city's most famous landmark.

Paris appears in all versions of ''Mario is Missing!''. In the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]] and [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES versions]], it is part of the second set of levels (though the SNES version's fewer level sets mean it is further into the game). In the [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES version]], it is instead in the third pair of levels out of seven, placed alongside [[Tokyo]].

Like all cities in the game, Luigi must also call [[Yoshi]] to his location using the [[Globulator]] and get rid of the [[Pokey]] blocking the city's exit. To do this, he must first deduce where he is from hints given by people in Paris.

In the PC versions, Luigi is contacted by Paris's fictional mayor, [[Mayor Singer]], once when he first arrives in the city and again when he successfully returns all the artifacts.

Paris appears exclusively in the PC release of ''[[Mario's Time Machine (PC)|Mario's Time Machine]]'', as one of the locations that [[Mario]] visits as he travels back in time to return the items stolen by [[Bowser]]. Specifically, he travels to Paris circa 1885, as he needs to return the [[Flask (item)|Flask]] that Bowser stole from [[Louis Pasteur]] just as he was about to create the {{wp|rabies vaccine}}. Mario talks to some of the city's inhabitants, including a tailor, a waiter at a café, and [[Pierre Paul Emile Roux]] (Louis Pasteur's colleague), about the owner of the Flask, and he eventually gets pointed to his lab. He visits Louis, returns the Flask, and time travels away.

Paris appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the setting of the new course, [[Tour Paris Promenade|Paris Promenade]]. It incorporates several landmarks, including the {{wp|Arc de Triomphe}}, the {{wp|Notre-Dame de Paris|Cathedral of Notre Dame}}, the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}}, {{wp|Jardins du Trocadéro}}, the {{wp|La Madeleine, Paris|La Madeleine church}}, the {{wp|Palais Garnier|Opéra Garnier}}, the {{wp|Luxor Obelisks|Luxor Obelisk}}, {{wp|Paris Observatory}}, and the {{wp|Saint-Augustin, Paris|Saint Augustin church}}.

Like all of ''Tour''{{'}}s city courses, Paris Promenade has multiple numbered routes that take racers through different paths through the same model of the city. Currently, the course has three routes. The first is Paris Promenade, which was introduced as the signature course of the [[Paris Tour (2019)|2019 Paris Tour]]. The second is Paris Promenade 2, which was introduced as the signature course of the [[Valentine's Tour]], likely due to Paris being commonly known as the "City of Love". The third course, Paris Promenade 3, was added in the [[Paris Tour (2021)|2021 Paris Tour]] and served as the tour's signature course. The first two routes have reappeared in the [[Spring Tour]], along with a battle course called Paris Promenade B.

{{classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}} returns as the first course in the [[Golden Dash Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''{{'}}s ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. This version combines features and routes from Paris Promenade, Paris Promenade 2, and Paris Promenade 3.
