Kathmandu (Nepali: काठमाडौं, Kāṭhamāḍauṁ) is the capital city of Nepal. Along with Sydney, Dublin, Buenos Aires, and Berlin, it is one of the five cities in the PC version of Mario is Missing! Luigi has to visit in order to defeat Wendy O. Koopa. Just like all the other cities in Mario is Missing!, Kathmandu was invaded by Koopa Troopas. The enemies steal artifacts from various local landmarks: a Nail from the Toothache Tree, a Rickshaw from Asan Tol, and the statue of Mahavishnu from the pool of water at Budhanilkantha Temple. Luigi is tasked by Mayor Grenewetzki to return all the artifacts.

- 'M' Club Meets
- The 'M' Club, consisting of Mayors from Moscow, Madrid, Marrakech and Mexico City, met yesterday in Montana. In a joint press release the Mayors announced that they were making Mario's brother, Luigi, an honorary member because he saved their cities from the Koopas. Their only regret is that his name doesn't begin with an 'M.'
- Stuff Snatched!
- Scads of stuff has been snatched from famous landmarks around the city. Witnesses claim the perpetrators are turtles. One man was heard to cry, "Is it a sparrow? Is it a blimp?
