Mario is Missing!

Madrid in Mario is Missing! (DOS)
Luigi in the DOS version

Alongside Athens, Marrakech, Mexico City, and Paris, Madrid is one of the five cities in the DOS and Deluxe versions of Mario is Missing! that Luigi has to visit before he can fight Roy Koopa. The city has been attacked by a group of Koopa Troopas, resulting in various landmarks losing notable items: Guernica from the Prado Museum, a Matador's Cape from the Ventas Bullring, and the tail from one of the lion statues in front of the Palacio de las Cortes. A bounty is placed on the items' return, and Luigi sets out to return them. He does just that, fighting off Koopa Troopas and chatting with the locals, and once every item is brought back to its rightful spot, he leaves for Bowser's Castle.
