Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty is a famous statue honoring the friendship between France and the United States found on Liberty Island, New York City. It is one of the three landmarks in the city that Koopa Troopas stole artifacts from during the events of the game Mario is Missing!. Luigi's task is to find the Statue of Liberty Torch, which symbolizes enlightenment, and deliver it back to the statue. Upon success, he is rewarded 1,750 dollars plus a bonus prize of 2,500 dollars. It made its appearance at the end of Recycled Koopa in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.

In Mario Kart 8, the residential course similar to San Francisco, California, has a statue that is very similar to the Statue of Liberty, however it's sculpted to look like Princess Peach.
