National Museum of Kenya

The National Museum of Kenya is a museum in Nairobi. It appeared in Mario is Missing! as one of the city's three landmarks. It was closed due to a three million year-old human skull being stolen by Koopa Troopas, and it was Luigi's task to find and return it, proving its authenticity by answering questions about the museum and the skull. According to citizens of Nairobi, it was a homo habilis skull, discovered by Richard Leakey. Before Luigi returned it back to the National Museum (for which he was rewarded $2800, plus $3200 bonus if he returned it first), a tourist in the city also stated that the museum's director is "out of his head with worry over that skull's whereabouts".

Pamphlet Information from Mario is Missing!
''Anthropologists believe Kenya to be the birthplace of all mankind. Scientists working there have dug up some of the oldest human fossils ever found. One skull found near Lake Turkana is said to be almost 3 million years old! The plains of East Africa -- Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia -- are being eagerly excavated to try and solve the mystery of where human beings first lived.''
