The '''[[Wikipedia:Obelisco de Buenos Aires|Obelisk Monument]]''' (original name in Spanish: '''''El Obelisco de Buenos Aires''''') is a landmark in [[Buenos Aires]] visited by [[Luigi]] during the events of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. It was built as a reminiscence of the founding of the city. [[Koopa Troopa]]s stole a '''stone from the Obelisk''', and during Luigi's stay he had to find and return it to the monument. Upon completing his task, he was rewarded 2,375 [[bill|dollar]]s plus a bonus of 3,800 dollars.
The '''{{wp|Obelisco de Buenos Aires|Obelisk Monument}}''' (Spanish: '''''El Obelisco de Buenos Aires''''') is a landmark in [[Buenos Aires]] in all versions of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. Prior to the events of the game, [[Koopa Troopa]]s steal a [[stone from the Obelisk]], forcing its information booth to close to the public. Before leaving the city, [[Luigi]] must track down the Koopa carrying it and return the stone to the Obelisk. In order to prove he is not trying to claim the 2,375-[[bill|dollar]] reward by turning in a fake stone, he must answer two of the following trivia questions:
*''What could a visitor do inside the Obelisk?''
**Eat a meal
**Get a haircut
**'''Climb a staircase to the very top'''
*''What does the Obelisk Monument honor?''
**Tall buildings
**George Washington
**'''The founding of Buenos Aires'''


If the stone from the Obelisk is the first item Luigi returns, he will additionally receive a $3,800 bonus.
