Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya, Africa. In most versions of Mario is Missing!, it, alongside Rome, Beijing, Moscow and San Francisco, is one of the five cities Luigi has to visit to defeat the first boss (Ludwig von Koopa in the SNES version and Larry Koopa in the PC version). In the NES version, it and Beijing are much later in the game, being the final pair of levels. It has been overrun with Koopa Troopas who have stolen objects of note from various places: these include a baby elephant from the Nairobi National Park, a Maasai Headdress from a Maasai village, a human skull from the National Museum of Kenya. In the PC version, the Masaai village and its item are replaced by the menu of the Kenyatta International Conference Center's revolving restaurant. Luigi's task is to collect these artifacts from the Koopa Troopas that are roaming around the city and return them to their respective places. He takes his leave once everything has been rightfully returned.
