History[edit]

Mario is Missing![edit]

Rome from Mario is Missing! (SNES).
Luigi and Yoshi in the SNES version of Mario is Missing!

Rome is one of the locations visited in the PC, SNES, and 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 von Koopa in the SNES version and 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 Troopas: in the NES and SNES versions, these include a gladiator's spear from the Colosseum, some coins from the Trevi Fountain, and the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. In the PC version, alongside the spear and coins, Michelangelo's Paintbrush is stolen instead of the Chapel's ceiling, a column is stolen from the Pantheon, and a 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.
