Rome is one of the locations visited in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. Alongside [[Beijing]], [[Nairobi]], [[Moscow]] and [[San Francisco]], it is one of the five cities [[Luigi]] must visit in ''Mario is Missing!'' in order to defeat [[Ludwig von Koopa]] in the SNES version and [[Larry Koopa]] in the PC version. In the NES version, it is part of the first pair of levels alongside [[New York City]]. Several items were stolen from famous landmarks by [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopalings]]: in the NES and SNES versions, these include a [[gladiator's spear]] from the [[Colosseum]], some [[Coins from the Trevi Fountain|coins]] from the [[Trevi Fountain]], and the [[Sistine Chapel]]'s [[Sistine Chapel ceiling|ceiling]]. In the PC version, alongside the spear and coins, [[Michelangelo's Paintbrush]] is stolen instead of the Chapel's ceiling, a [[Column from the Pantheon|column]] is stolen from the [[Pantheon]], and a [[Bannister from the Spanish Steps|bannister]] is stolen from the [[Spanish Steps]]. When in Rome, Luigi must ask the locals questions about the area and answer geographical and historical questions to return the items to their rightful place. | |||
