History

Mario is Missing!

The Prado Museum in the DOS release of Mario is Missing!
The Prado Museum in the DOS version

In the DOS and Deluxe versions of Mario is Missing!, the Prado Museum is one of the city's landmarks (alongside the Palacio de las Cortes and the Ventas Bullring) that gets ransacked by Koopa Troopas. They steal one of the museums's paintings, Guernica by Pablo Picasso, causing the entire museum to shut down; they also place a bounty on its return. Luigi promptly does just that: he retrieves the painting, and after proving that it is real by answer the questions listed below, it is returned to its rightful place.

  • Guernica was painted by:
    • Diego Rivera
    • Pablo Ruiz Picasso
    • Peter Prado
    • Jose Malaga
  • Guernica was named for:
    • Spanish for gumdrops
    • Picasso's mother
    • town of Guernica
    • Latin for war
  • In 1981, the Guernica was brought home to the Prado Museum from:
    • New York
    • Guernica
    • France
    • Malaga

Mario Kart Tour

The Prado Museum appears as one of the landmarks in the Madrid Drive course in Mario Kart Tour. A portion of Madrid Drive 3 takes place inside the museum. The museum contains various paintings depicting different characters. One painting, however, is torn and has a Piranha Plant in the middle as an obstacle.
