The '''{{wp|Tower of London}}''' is a famous historic site in [[London]] that houses a collection of the {{wp|Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom|Crown Jewels}}. The castle has made several notable appearances in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] in games that feature [[London]].

==History==
===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show''===
Although the actual Tower of London does not appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', the episode "[[The Adventures of Sherlock Mario]]" takes place in the fictional city of [[Victoria]], which is largely inspired by Victorian London and features the [[Tower of Victoria]], which is based on the Tower of London.

===''Mario is Missing!''===
During the events of the game ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopa Troopa]]s stole the crown jewels from the Tower of London. [[Luigi]] has to search the Koopa Troopas in London for the Crown Jewels, and when he finds them, he has to return them to the Tower of London for a reward of 2,400 [[bill|dollar]]s.

===''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''===

The Tower of London appears in both versions of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''. In the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|version]], the tower only appears on the London Party map, though in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version it appears as the setting for several Story Mode episodes. It first appears as the main location in [[Sonic Arrives]], in which [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] go sightseeing and encounter red [[Phantasmal Fog]] there, along with [[Fog Imposter]]s of [[Mario]] and Luigi, and once again in [[The Ghostly Tower]], where Sonic and Tails defeat [[King Boo]] and the [[Boo]] who are guarding the [[Fog machine]] and clear the fog from the area. The episode [[Bowser's Blues]] also begins by the Tower of London, where Bowser is sightseeing with [[Goomba]], [[Magikoopa]] and [[Lakitu]], the latter of which mistakes the Tower of London for [[Big Ben]]. It also appears in the background of the episodes [[Enter Bowser?!]] and [[Junior, Super Hero?]], which primarily take place on [[Tower Bridge]].

===''Mario Kart Tour''===

==Pamphlet information from ''Mario is Missing!''==
''William the Conquerer built the Tower of London for several reasons: to protect London from invasion, to oversee shipping on the Thames, and to scare his subjects. The original tower was built around 1078. It covers 7 hectares on the banks of the Thames River. At various times The Tower has been a mint, a fortress, a vault, a terrible jail and a place of execution! Famous as a showplace for England's elaborate Crown Jewels, the Jewel House includes the largest cut diamond in the world, 530 carats!''
