'''[[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.

==History==
===''Mario is Missing!''===
[[File:RioDeJaneiro MIM.png|thumb|left|The map of Rio de Janeiro as it appears in ''[[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|Mario is Missing!]]'']]
Along with [[New York City]], [[Tokyo]], [[Cairo]] and [[London]], it is 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. The enemies were sent by [[Bowser]] to steal artifacts from the cities' landmarks. In Rio, the Troopas stole from the [[Christ the Redeemer Statue]], the [[Carnival]], the [[Copacabana Beach]], the [[Maracana Stadium]], and the [[Sugar Loaf Mountain]]. Luigi's task is to rescue the city by finding and returning all the missing artifacts.

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