Mario is Missing![edit]

The map of Rio de Janeiro as it appears inMario is Missing!

Rio de Janeiro's first appearance in theSuper Mario franchise is as one of the citiesLuigi has to visit in thePC andSNES versions ofMario is Missing!. As with all the other cities appearing in the game, Rio de Janeiro was invaded byKoopa Troopas sent byBowser to steal artifacts from the cities' landmarks. Luigi's task is to rescue the city by finding and returning all the missing artifacts.

In the SNES version, the Koopas steal aspotlight from theChrist the Redeemer Statue, aseashell fromCopacabana Beach, and acable car fromSugar Loaf Mountain.

In the PC version, instead of stealing from the Christ the Redeemer Statue, the Koopas instead steal aheaddress from theCarnival, and aSoccer Ball fromMaracana Stadium. Additionally, in this version, the mayor of the city is shown to beMayor Cook.

The information fromMario is Missing! mistakenly places the city to be above the Tropic of Cancer, when Rio is actually above the Tropic of Capricorn.

	"Its capital is Brasilia but you're not there. This place is more of a carnival, from all I hear." "It's the land of samba and mamba, the soul music of Brasilia."
	"I hope you brought your swimsuit, this city lies on Brazil's famous coastline." "Rio is right-o above the Tropic of Cancer."
	"It covers nearly one-half of South America. It's the fifth largest country in the world!" "Brazil was discovered by the Portuguese in 1500. You thought they spoke Spanish, didn't you?"
	"You finally made it to Rio de Janeiro. The South American tropics of Brazil."
