Copacabana Beach

Copacabana Beach (in Portuguese: Praia de Copacabana) is a famous beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was one of the three landmarks in Rio that Koopa Troopas stole artifacts from during the events of the game Mario is Missing!. They took a Copacabana Beach Seashell from the beach, and Luigi's task was to find and return it. Upon delivering it back, he received a prize of 1,350 dollars.
