Mario Kart series
The Arc de Triomphe appears as a traversable landmark in Paris Promenade and Paris Promenade 3 in Mario Kart Tour. Normally, racers are supposed to drive around it, but they can break through two Piranha Plant wooden cutouts and pass through the arch as a shortcut. However, in Paris Promenade 2, it acts as a background detail and cannot be interacted in any way whatsoever. The Arc de Triomphe returns alongside Paris Promenade in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
