Tokyo is one of the cities [[Luigi]] visits 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!'']]. In the DOS version, it is in the fourth level set; in the SNES version, it is in the third, final level set; and in the NES version, it is in the second pair of levels alongside [[Paris]].
Tokyo is one of fifteen cities [[Luigi]] visits during the events of the game ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' Along with [[New York City]], [[Rio de Janeiro]], [[Cairo]], and [[London]], it is one of the five cities that need to be rescued before the final boss of the game, [[Morton Koopa Jr.]], can be battled.
 
Like all cities in the game, [[Koopa Troopa]]s have stolen artifacts from landmarks around the city: the [[Sensoji Temple Lantern|lantern]] from the [[Sensoji Temple]], a [[Sumo Apron]] from the [[Kokugikan Arena]], and an [[Great Buddha's Orange|orange]] from the [[Great Buddha of Kamakura]]. In the PC version, two additional items are stolen: a [[Mask from the Kabuki Theater|mask]] from the [[Kabuki Theater]], and [[Tong Tong|a panda]] from the [[Ueno Zoo]]. Before he leaves the city, Luigi must return the artifacts to their proper places.


Three artifacts were stolen by [[Koopa Troopa]]s from several landmarks in the city. Those landmarks are: the [[Great Buddha of Kamakura]], the [[Sensoji Temple]], and the [[Kokugikan Arena]]. Luigi's task is to check the Troopas in the city for the artifacts, and then to return them back to the appropriate landmarks.
In the PC version, Luigi talks to [[Mayor O. K. Leeder]] at the beginning and end of his business in Tokyo.
