*Although the Dome of the Rock and the Mosque of Omar are treated as the same place in-game, the latter is actually the name of two completely different buildings, {{wp|Mosque of Omar (Jerusalem)|one in Jerusalem}} and {{wp|Mosque of Omar (Bethlehem)|another in Bethlehem, Palestine}}. Conflating the three with one another is a common misconception.

Pamphlet, Mario is Missing! (PC)

The Dome of the Rock is a building in Jerusalem, Israel. It appears in the PC versions of Mario is Missing! as a landmark stolen by a Koopa Troopa, closing the site until Luigi returns it to the curator, rewarding him 1540 dollars. The game treats Dome of the Rock and the Mosque of Omar as the same place in-game,[1] which is inaccurate, also considering another Mosque of Omar exists in Bethlehem, Palestine.
