| '''[[Wikipedia:Rio de Janeiro|Rio de Janeiro]]''' (Portuguese for "January River") appears in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as a city located in {{iw|wikipedia|Brazil}}, located in [[South America]]; this is consistent with its portrayal in real life.

| [[File:RioDeJaneiro MIM.png|thumb|The map of Rio de Janeiro as it appears in ''[[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|Mario is Missing!]]'']] | |
| Rio de Janeiro's first appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise is as one of the cities [[Luigi]] has to visit in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]] and [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']]. As with all the other cities appearing in the game, Rio de Janeiro was invaded by [[Koopa Troopa]]s sent by [[Bowser]] to steal artifacts from the cities' landmarks. Luigi's task is to rescue the city by finding and returning all the missing artifacts. | |

| In the SNES version, the Koopas steal a [[Spotlight from Christ the Redeemer Statue|spotlight]] from the [[Christ the Redeemer Statue]], a [[Copacabana beach seashell|seashell]] from [[Copacabana Beach]], and a [[Sugar Loaf Mountain cable car|cable car]] from [[Sugarloaf Mountain|Sugar Loaf Mountain]].

In Rio, the Troopas stole from the [[Christ the Redeemer Statue]], the [[Copacabana Beach]], and the [[Sugar Loaf Mountain]]. Luigi's task was to rescue the city by finding and returning all the missing artifacts. In this location has a poster saying ''''Out Collor''. |
|

|
| In the PC version, instead of stealing from the Christ the Redeemer Statue, the Koopas instead steal a [[Carnival headdress|headdress]] from the [[Carnival]], and a [[Soccer Ball]] from [[Maracanã|Maracana Stadium]]. Additionally, in this version, the mayor of the city is shown to be [[Mayor Cook]].
| | Rio is also to be the general setting for ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', since the city is slated to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.{{br}} |

|
| The information from ''Mario is Missing!'' mistakenly places the city to be above the Tropic of Cancer, when Rio is actually above the Tropic of Capricorn.
