The Tower of London is a famous monument in London, built in the 11th century. For about 700 years, it has been home of the Crown Jewels. The Jewels were once stolen from the Tower, during the events of the game Mario is Missing!. Luigi had to check the Koopa Troopas in London for the Crown Jewels, and when he found them, he had to return them to the Tower. There was a reward of 2,400 dollars.
