| | The '''[[Wikipedia:Parthenon|Parthenon]]''' (in Greek: '''Παρθενών''', ''Parthenó̱n'') is a temple of Athena, goddess of [[Athens]]. [[Luigi]] visits this temple when he travels to Athens during the events of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. Like all the other cities appearing in the game, Athens was invaded by [[Koopa Troopa]]s who were stealing artifacts from various landmarks. In Athens, they also stole one of the forty-six '''Parthenon Columns'''. In order to save his brother [[Mario]] from [[Bowser]], Luigi had to return the artifact to the Parthenon (and prove its authenticity by answering two questions about the Parthenon). Upon completing this task he was rewarded 1,500 [[bill|dollar]]s (plus a bonus of 3,000 dollars if he returned it first). |

| [[Luigi]] visits this temple when he travels to Athens in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]] and [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']] when [[Koopa Troopa]]s steal a [[Parthenon Column]], causing it to shut down. He eventually makes his way through the city, fighting the right Koopa Troopa to obtain the Column, and after answering a series of questions (listed below), he is able to return the column through the Parthenon's information booth to its rightful place.
