[[File:MIM Luigi In Amsterdam.png|thumb|left|Luigi in Amsterdam in ''Mario is Missing!'']]
Amsterdam appears in the DOS and CD-ROM Deluxe versions of ''[[Mario is Missing]]''. It is part of the fourth level set, alongside [[Tokyo]], [[Cairo]], [[Bombay]], and [[Toronto]], and must be cleared to defeat [[Iggy Koopa]]. Like all the other cities in ''Mario is Missing!'', Amsterdam was invaded by [[Koopa Troopa]]s, who stole artifacts from various local landmarks. In this case, they stole [[Rembrandt's paintbrush]] from [[Rembrandt's House|his house]], a [[Tulip from the Aalsmeer Flower Market|tulip]] from the [[Aalsmeer Flower Market]], a [[diamond]] from the [[Amsterdam Diamond Center]], and the [[Canal Boat steering wheel|steering wheel]] of a boat in one of Amsterdam's [[canal]]s. [[Luigi]] will be rewarded with money if he finds and returns the artifacts to their respective landmarks, which also rescues the city.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
Amsterdam appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Amsterdam Tour]], which introduces a [[new course]] known as [[Amsterdam Drift]]. Its second and third routes, Amsterdam Drift 2 and Amsterdam Drift 3, debuted in the [[Metropolitan Tour]] and [[Peach vs. Bowser Tour (November–December 2022)|November-December 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour]] respectively.

Amsterdam Drift returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' in the fourth wave of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. In that game, it is the first course of the [[Fruit Cup]].
