The Eiffel Tower appears in all versions of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', marking its first appearance in a ''Mario'' game. Alongside the [[Cathedral of Notre Dame]], the [[Arc de Triomphe]], and (in the PC versions) the [[Louvre]], the Eiffel Tower was one of the landmarks visited by [[Luigi]] when he came to save Paris from invading [[Koopa Troopa]]s. | The Eiffel Tower appears in all versions of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', marking its first appearance in a ''Super Mario'' game.

Unlike in real life, there was a French flag at the top of the tower, the [[Tricolor]], which was stolen by Koopas. Luigi had to find and return it, for which he was rewarded a regular prize of 1,400 [[bill|dollar]]s, plus a 2,000 dollar bonus if he returns it first. | Unlike in real life, there was a French flag at the top of the tower, the [[Tricolor]], which was stolen by Koopas.
