'''{{wp|Rome}}''' (Italian: '''''Roma''''') is the capital city of {{wp|Italy}}. It appears in ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing!]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', as well as being referenced in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' television series by [[Donkey Kong]] in [[List of Donkey Kong Country (television series) songs#Over the Hill|the second song]] from the episode "[[The Big Chill Out]]".


==History==
Famous landmarks in Rome include the [[Colosseum]], the [[Trevi Fountain]] and the [[Sistine Chapel]], all of which Luigi must visit and answer questions about in order to secure the city from [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopalings]].

Rome is one of the locations visited in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]], [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]], and [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']]. Alongside [[Beijing]], [[Nairobi]], [[Moscow]] and [[San Francisco]], it is one of the five cities [[Luigi]] must visit in ''Mario is Missing!'' in order to defeat [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]] in the SNES version and [[Larry|Larry Koopa]] in the PC version. In the NES version, it is part of the first pair of levels alongside [[New York City]]. Several items were stolen from famous landmarks by [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopa Troopa]]s: in the NES and SNES versions, these include a [[gladiator's spear]] from the [[Colosseum]], some [[Coins from the Trevi Fountain|coins]] from the [[Trevi Fountain]], and the [[Sistine Chapel]]'s [[Sistine Chapel ceiling|ceiling]]. In the PC version, alongside the spear and coins, [[Michelangelo's Paintbrush]] is stolen instead of the Chapel's ceiling, a [[Column from the Pantheon|column]] is stolen from the [[Pantheon]], and a [[Bannister from the Spanish Steps|bannister]] is stolen from the [[Spanish Steps]]. When in Rome, Luigi must ask the locals questions about the area and answer geographical and historical questions to return the items to their rightful place.
 
The PC version also shows Rome's fictional mayor, [[Mayor Linguine]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
A course set in Rome, titled [[Rome Avanti]], appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Night Tour]]. Rome is the sixth European city to be added to the game as a race course, after [[Paris]], [[London]], [[Berlin]], [[Amsterdam]], and [[Athens]], and is the first of them courses to be set at night. Landmarks visited in the course include the Colosseum, the {{wp|Roman Forum}}, {{wp|Piazza del Campidoglio}}, {{wp|Piazza Navona}}, {{wp|Piazza del Popolo}}, {{wp|Campo de' Fiori}}, the Spanish Steps, the {{wp|Villa Borghese gardens}}, the Trevi Fountain, and {{wp|Trajan's Market}}.
 
Rome Avanti returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' in the sixth and final wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. In that game, it is the first course of the [[Acorn Cup]].
