History
Mario is Missing!
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.
Three artifacts were stolen by Koopa Troopas 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.
