| | The '''[[Wikipedia:Rockefeller Center|Rockefeller Center]]''' is a place in [[New York City]], built by and named for John D. Rockefeller and his family. [[Luigi]] visited it during the events of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', after [[Koopa Troopa]]s invaded the city and stole artifacts from its landmarks. From the Rockefeller Center, they took the golden '''Statue of Prometheus''', and Luigi had to find and return it to the Center, for which he was rewarded 1,700 [[bill|dollar]]s. |

| [[Luigi]] visits the Rockefeller Center in the [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]] and [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES]] versions of ''Mario is Missing!'' after [[Koopa Troopa]]s invade and steal the [[Statue of Prometheus]], along with several other items from other buildings in the city. Luigi has to find and return it to the Center. To prove it is genuine, he has to answer the following questions:
| | ==Pamphlet Information from ''Mario is Missing!''== |
| | ''Radio City Music Hall was made world-famous by the dance troupe, The Rockettes. The all-female group was started in Missouri in 1925. They took their name from The Roxy theater, the original New York City home. The Rockettes have performed their high kicks in Radio City since its opening day in 1932. The Music Hall was built to be the largest and showiest theater in the world, despite the Depression which was then at its worst. The theater is a famous Art Deco landmark.'' |

|
| In the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]] version of ''Mario is Missing!'', the Rockefeller Center technically still appears, albeit indirectly, as Luigi visits [[Radio City Music Hall]] instead, which is located within the center. Despite this difference, the pamphlet description, entirely concerned with Radio City Music Hall, is identical between versions of the game.

| The Rockefeller Center appears again in [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]], debuting in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' and returning in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' via the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' - Booster Course Pass]]. Racers drive through it in all routes of the course. In particular, New York Minute 3 and the final lap of ''8 Deluxe's'' route have racers drive through 30 Rockefeller Plaza. It is shown to have [[manhole]]s that spew water into the air, as well as a [[Glide Ramp]] in New York Minute 2 and ''8 Deluxe's'' route.
