'''{{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.

The city is later seen briefly in the episode "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]". Bowser orders his [[Koopalings|children]] to each take over one of the Real World's seven continents, and assigns [[Wendy|Kootie Pie Koopa]] to take over Europe. Kootie Pie then travels to the [[Louvre]] museum, where she uses her [[magic wand]] to transform all the paintings into paintings of herself. Mario eventually shows up to defeat Kootie Pie, and restores the paintings to their proper forms.

Paris is then featured in the episode "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]", with most of the episode taking place there. [[Ludwig|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.

In Paris, Bowser is able to use the pendant to become [[Raccoon Koopa]], allowing him to fly. He quickly ties up [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], tying her to the Eiffel Tower. Bowser then turns into [[Frog Bowser]], in order to pursue Mario, Luigi and the [[Submarine captain|captain]] of a submarine and capture them. He then throws them in the [[Bastille]] and tells some of his kids to come to Paris and run amok. Kootie Pie tries on many bizarre dresses at a clothing store, while [[Lemmy|Hip Koopa]] and [[Iggy|Hop Koopa]] replace paintings at the Louvre with their own "masterpieces".

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.

 

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.

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.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====

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.

====''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====

{{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.

==Notes==

*The city below {{classic link|N64|Rainbow Road}} from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' resembles Paris, even featuring an Eiffel Tower-like structure.

*Paris Promenade 2 being utilized as the signature course of the Valentine's Tour in ''Mario Kart Tour'' is a reference to Paris' reputation as being the city of love. This reference can also be extended to its second appearance during the [[Cat Tour (2021)|2021 Cat Tour]], which also took place around Valentine's Day.

**On a similar note, the [[Paris Tour (2021)|2021 Paris Tour]] featuring [[Pauline|Pauline (Rose)]] as a spotlight character for the second week was also a reference to said reputation.
