{{Quote2|''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.''|Pamphlet|[[Mario is Missing!]]}}


[[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. The curator will reward him by $1700 after proving it is authentic by answering the following questions:

In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] versions, they stole the '''{{wp|Prometheus (Manship)|Statue of Prometheus}}''', and Luigi had to find and return it to the Center. To prove it was genuine, he had to answer the following questions:

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.
In the MS-DOS and CD-ROM Deluxe versions, Luigi specifically visits the Radio City Music Hall, and has to rescue and return a kidnapped '''{{wp|The Rockettes|Rockette}}''', answering the following questions:
 
* ''The theatre opened at the height of the:''
**tango dance craze
**Oscar ceremonies
**'''depression'''
**first World War
* ''About how many people can watch a show at the theatre?''
