Mexico City as it appears in Mario is Missing!
Mexico City (Spanish: Ciudad de México; Nahuatl: Āltepētl Mēxihco) is the capital and largest city of Mexico, North America. It appears as a setting in several works related to the Super Mario franchise.
History[edit]
Saturday Supercade[edit]
In the Saturday Supercade episode "The Amazing Rollerskate Race", Mexico City appears as a place where Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones go to supervise the Roller Stars during a rollerskating race and also catch Al and his partner, who are after their skates.
Mario is Missing![edit]
Mexico City is one of the locations that can be visited in the PC, SNES, and NES versions of Mario is Missing!. In the NES version, it is part of the sixth pair of levels alongside Cairo; in every other version, it is in the second set of five levels. Just like all the other cities in Mario is Missing!, Mexico City was invaded by Koopa Troopas. The enemies stole artifacts from various local landmarks: a catalog from the Fine Arts Palace, the Diego Rivera mural The History of Mexico from off the walls of the National Palace, the titular part of the Angel of Independence monument, and in the PC version, a tile from the Zócalo and the top of the Pyramid of the Sun. Luigi rescues the city by finding the stolen artifacts and returning them to their respective landmarks. Besides retrieving artifacts, Luigi has to also figure out where he is to use the Globulator to call Yoshi to get rid of the Pokey blocking the exit. To deduce his location, he has to gather hints from people in the city.
In the PC versions, Luigi is contacted by the city's fictional mayor, Mayor Devotegetter, over videophone, at the beginning and end of his adventure in Mexico City.
