The striped prison shirt is an item in the DOS and Deluxe versions of Mario is Missing!. It is a piece of the uniform that prisoners supposedly wore in Alcatraz (despite Alcatraz prisoners never actually wearing such an outfit[1][2]). It is stolen by a group of Koopa Troopas that invade San Francisco, causing the entire island to close down. Luigi gets back the shirt from a wandering Koopa Troopa, then brings it to various citizens also wandering throughout the city in the hopes that one of them knows where it belongs. All of them recognize it as being specifically from Alcatraz, and Luigi promptly returns it to its information booth. He receives $1440 as a reward.
