The '''{{wp|Transamerica Pyramid}}''' is a skyscraper in [[San Francisco]] shaped roughly like a pyramid, though despite what its image depicts, it is not slanted at a 45° angle in reality. [[Luigi]] is able to visit it in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. Here, he has to return the [[Top of the Transamerica Pyramid]] to the landmark, as it has been stolen by [[Koopa Troopa]]s invading the city, causing the Pyramid to be closed to the public. Finding and [[stomp]]ing the Koopa Troopa in possession of the artifact allows Luigi to return it to the Pyramid, thereby opening it (though he first answers some questions about the Transamerica Pyramid first, listed below). | |||

''The Transamerica Pyramid on Columbus Avenue in downtown San Francisco was built in 1972. It has become a landmark due to its unusual shape. Standing 853 feet tall, the Pyramid is said to have changed the distinct shape of the city's skyline. San Francisco is very susceptible to earthquakes, so the Pyramid was built with a flexible concrete base which makes it one of the most earthquake-proof of all of San Francisco's skyscrapers.'' | |||
