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).
