(PC)|Mario is Missing!]]'', where [[Koopa Troopa]]s steal a [[Mexican tile|tile]] from the square, causing it to close to the public. [[Luigi]] must track down the tile, defeat the Koopa carrying it, and take it back to the Zócalo. | The '''{{wp|Zócalo}}''', formally known as '''Plaza de la Constitución''' ("Constitution Square"), is the main square of [[Mexico City]].
