The '''[[Wikipedia:Parthenon|Parthenon]]''' is a temple of Athena, goddess of [[Athens]]. [[Luigi]] visits this temple when he travels to Athens during the events of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. Like all the other cities appearing in the game, Athens was invaded by [[Koopa Troopa]]s who were stealing artifacts from various landmarks. In Athens, they also stole one of the forty-six '''Parthenon Columns'''. In order to save his brother [[Mario]] from [[Bowser]], Luigi had to return the artifact to the Parthenon (and prove its authenticity by answering two questions about the Parthenon). Upon completing this task he was rewarded 1,500 [[dollar]]s (plus a bonus of 3,000 dollars if he returned it first).
