The Erechtheion Temple is a temple in Rome, appearing in the game Mario is Missing!. The Erechtheion is best known for its six Caryatids, female figures replacing columns. One of those Caryatids was stolen by Koopa Troopas during the events of the game. Luigi's task was to find it and return it to the Erechtheion Temple, for which he was rewarded 1,650 dollars.
Pamphlet Information from Mario is Missing!
The Erechtheion Temple's floorplan is very complicated. It was built to include many earlier temples that once stood on the same site. Over the centuries, the temple has been a church, a palace, a harem and a storehouse for the Greek military. Its most famous feature is The Porch of the Caryatids, a deck supported by six columns which resemble young girls. Each Caryatid stands 6 feet, 6 inches high. The girls' dresses look like the columns they replace. The Caryatids are copies. The originals were removed to protect them against pollution.
