'''[[Wikipedia:Rio de Janeiro|Rio de Janeiro]]''' (Portuguese for "January River") is the second largest city of [[wikipedia:Brazil|Brazil]], located in [[South America]]. Along with [[New York City]], [[Tokyo]], [[Cairo]] and [[London]], it is one of the cities [[Luigi]] has to visit in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''.

As with all the other cities appearing in the game, Rio de Janeiro was invaded by [[Koopa Troopa]]s. The enemies were sent by [[Bowser]] to steal artifacts from the cities' landmarks. In Rio, the Troopas stole from the [[Christ the Redeemer Statue]], the [[Copacabana Beach]], and the [[Sugar Loaf Mountain]]. Luigi's task was to rescue the city by finding and returning all the missing artifacts.

Rio is also to be the general setting for ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', since the city is slated to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.{{br}}
