The '''{{wp|Transamerica Pyramid}}''' is a skyscraper in [[San Francisco]] shaped roughly like a pyramid that [[Luigi]] can visit in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' Despite what the DOS image depicts, it is not slanted at a 45° angle in reality. Here, he has to return the [[Top of the Transamerica Pyramid]] to the landmark, as it has been stolen by [[Koopa Troopa]]s invading the city, causing the Pyramid to be closed to the public. Finding and [[stomp]]ing the Koopa Troopa in possession of the artifact allows Luigi to return it to the Pyramid, thereby opening it.
