Emperor's Bell
First appearance	Mario is Missing! (1993)

TheEmperor's Bell (more commonly known as theTsar Bell) is an item that only appears in theNES release ofMario is Missing!. It is the largest bell in the world, although it is in a nonoperational state, and it is exhibited in theKremlin. The heavy bell is stolen by someKoopa Troopas when they invadeMoscow, leavingLuigi to locate it. He takes it from a single Koopa Troopa that was walking around Moscow, then questions various people throughout the city about its origins. Not only does everyone recognize it, they also provide extra trivia, such as how it weighs 210 tons (although its official weight is around 202 tons^[1]). Luigi eventually brings it to the Kremlin's information booth and, using his acquired knowledge, proves that the Bell that he is holding is genuine, and the booth's clerk gives him a $2000 reward. In the SNES version, theCannonball from the Emperor's Cannon appears as the Kremlin's stolen item instead of the Emperor's Bell.
