Paris is then featured in the episode "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]", with most of the episode taking place there. [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky von Koopa]] creates a [[magic pendant]] for Bowser, which can grant him the Mario Bros.' Power-Ups. However, the pendant only works in the Real World, so Bowser kidnaps Luigi and takes him through a [[Warp Pipe]] leading to Paris.

===''Mario is Missing!''===
[[File:ParisScene MIM.png|thumb|A Parisian street in the SNES version of ''Mario is Missing!'']]
Paris appears in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' as one of the cities Luigi needs to visit in order to defeat the second boss of the game, [[Iggy Koopa]]. The city has been invaded by [[Koopa Troopa]]s who have stolen artifacts from various landmarks: the [[Cathedral of Notre Dame]], the [[Arc de Triomphe]], the Eiffel Tower, and in the PC version, the {{wp|Louvre}}.
[[File:Paris Map MIMDOS.png|thumb|Map in DOS version.]]
[[File:Paris MIM.png|thumb|The map of Paris in the SNES version of ''Mario is Missing!'']]
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]].


In all versions, Paris is one of many cities that [[Bowser]] has ordered his [[Koopa Troopa]]s to burgle priceless artifacts from: namely the [[Tricolor]] flag from atop the [[Eiffel Tower]], the [[Eternal Flame]] from the [[Arc de Triomphe]], a [[Notre Dame Bell|bell]] from the [[Cathedral of Notre Dame]], and (exclusively in the PC version) the [[Mona Lisa]] from the [[Louvre]]. [[Luigi]] pursues the Koopas to the city and must retrieve the artifacts and return them to their proper place.
===''Mario's Time Machine''===
[[File:Paris MTMDX.png|thumb|Paris in ''Mario's Time Machine'']]
Paris appears exclusively in the PC release of ''[[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.


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.
===''Mario Kart'' series===
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
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.

''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' currently features three new courses set in Paris. 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.

;Avez-vous vu cet homme?

;Tortoises Purloin Prime Property
:Widespread reports of turtle sightings continue as prominent properties turn up missing across the city. Police report that the Eternal Flame was stolen from the Arc de Triomphe, and officials are offering a substantial reward for its safe return.
