San Francisco

San Francisco is a city in California, located on the west coast of the United States of America. Along with Rome, Beijing, Nairobi and Moscow, it is one of the first five cities Luigi has to rescue from invading Koopa Troopas during the events of the game Mario is Missing!. The enemies have stolen one artifact each from the Golden Gate Bridge, the Coit Tower, and the Transamerica Pyramid, and to expel them Luigi has to find the missing objects and return these to their respective landmarks.

Later in the game, the city was mentioned by a tourist in Rio De Janeiro. When Luigi showed him a cable car that the Troopas stole from Sugar Loaf Mountain, he said that, "San Francisco doesn't seem quite so far, when I look at that cable car."
