History

Mario is Missing!

The Colosseum appears in all versions of Mario is Missing! as one of the landmarks that Luigi has to visit in Rome. It is closed because Koopa Troopas stole a gladiator's spear, and it can only reopen if Luigi returns it (though he is first asked some questions at the information booth, seen below). When Luigi returns it to the Colosseum, he is awarded $2000.
