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]]. | Paris appears in all versions of ''Mario is Missing!''.

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. | 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]].

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.
