Bolshoi Ballet

The  (in Russian: Большой театр, Bolʹshoĭ tyeatr) is a theater that hosts numerous ballet and opera performances, and most notably serves as the base for the troupe. In Mario is Missing!, it is one of the landmarks in Moscow that gets ransacked by Koopa Troopas (although the game calls the building the "Bolshoi Ballet" multiple times). In the NES and SNES versions, a Bolshoi Ballet Slipper is stolen, whereas in the DOS and Deluxe versions, a Bolshoi Ballet Tutu is stolen; in either case, the entire theater is shut down due to the theft. Luigi is tasked with returning the stolen clothing article to the theater so that it can be reopened, but he must prove that they are real by answering the questions below:
