Blue Mosque

Blue Mosque in DOS and CD-ROM Deluxe versions.

“The Blue Mosque is the only temple in Turkey with six minarets, or prayer towers. The Blue Mosque is not blue at all. It takes that name from the tiles that line the walls and floors. When the sun pours through the 260 stained glass windows, the chambers shimmer in beautiful blue light. The mosque is also well-known for its gigantic size. It is a masterpiece of Turkish architecture.”

—Pamphlet, Mario is Missing! (PC)

The Blue Mosque, officially called Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Turkish: Sultan Ahmet Camii) within Turkey, is a mosque with 20,000 turquoise Iznik tiles that line the ceiling. While it is a place of worship, it housed a madradash, hospital, imaret, priamry school, and a tomb for the royal family. The Blue Mosque is located in Istanbul, Turkey.

In the PC versions of Mario is Missing!, a Koopa Troopa stole the tile from the mosque, forcing the mosque to close until Luigi returns it.
