| |
| Rome is one of the locations visited in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]], [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]], and [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']]. Alongside [[Beijing]], [[Nairobi]], [[Moscow]] and [[San Francisco]], it is one of the five cities [[Luigi]] must visit in ''Mario is Missing!'' in order to defeat [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]] in the SNES version and [[Larry|Larry Koopa]] in the PC version. In the NES version, it is part of the first pair of levels alongside [[New York City]]. Several items were stolen from famous landmarks by [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopa Troopa]]s: in the NES and SNES versions, these include a [[gladiator's spear]] from the [[Colosseum]], some [[Coins from the Trevi Fountain|coins]] from the [[Trevi Fountain]], and the [[Sistine Chapel]]'s [[Sistine Chapel ceiling|ceiling]]. In the PC version, alongside the spear and coins, [[Michelangelo's Paintbrush]] is stolen instead of the Chapel's ceiling, a [[Column from the Pantheon|column]] is stolen from the [[Pantheon]], and a [[Bannister from the Spanish Steps|bannister]] is stolen from the [[Spanish Steps]]. When in Rome, Luigi must ask the locals questions about the area and answer geographical and historical questions to return the items to their rightful place. | |
| | |
| The PC version also shows Rome's fictional mayor, [[Mayor Linguine]].

| ===''Mario Kart'' series===
| |
| A course set in Rome, titled [[Rome Avanti]], appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Night Tour]]. Rome is the sixth European city to be added to the game as a race course, after [[Paris]], [[London]], [[Berlin]], [[Amsterdam]], and [[Athens]], and is the first of them courses to be set at night. Landmarks visited in the course include the Colosseum, the {{wp|Roman Forum}}, {{wp|Piazza del Campidoglio}}, {{wp|Piazza Navona}}, {{wp|Piazza del Popolo}}, {{wp|Campo de' Fiori}}, the Spanish Steps, the {{wp|Villa Borghese gardens}}, the Trevi Fountain, and {{wp|Trajan's Market}}.
| |
| | |
| Rome Avanti returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' in the sixth and final wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. In that game, it is the first course of the [[Acorn Cup]].
