Bolshoi Ballet slipper
NES SNES
Appears in	Mario is Missing! (1993)

TheBolshoi Ballet slipper (actually a pair of slippers) is an item in theSNES andNES releases ofMario is Missing!. They are a part of theballet shoes used by theBolshoi Ballet. Though its item name indicates a single slipper, its image and various dialogue about the shoes indicate that the item is a pair of slippers. They are stolen from theBolshoi Theater by a bunch ofKoopa Troopas invading the city ofMoscow; this causes the entire theater to be shut down.Luigi later takes them back from the Koopa Troopa that was holding onto them, and as he does not know where they belong, he shows them to various citizens throughout the city. Everyone recognizes it as belonging specifically to the Bolshoi troupe, with the police officer in particular telling Luigi to return them before their show begins. Luigi eventually learns enough to bring them to the Bolshoi Theater's information booth, reopening the building and being awarded $1500. This slipper appears in place of theBolshoi Ballet Tutu from the PC versions.
