A boleadora, also known as a bola, is a lasso-like throwing weapon used by gauchos. It consists of weights on the end of cords that connect at a single point. One appears in the PC, SNES, and NES versions of Mario is Missing!, where it is referred to as a boleadoras despite this being the plural form of the word. It is stolen from the Gaucho Museum in Buenos Aires by Koopa Troopas, necessitating Luigi track it down and return it.
