The enemies have stolen a fog horn from the Golden Gate Bridge, the top of the Transamerica Pyramid, and a window from Coit Tower; in the PC version, instead of Coit Tower, they have also stolen a striped prison shirt from Alcatraz and the bell from a Cable Car. To expel the Koopas, Luigi has to find the missing objects and return these to their respective landmarks.

In the PC version, Luigi is contacted by Mayor Froobnitz when he first arrives in the city and after he returns all the artifacts.

Later in the game, the city is mentioned by a tourist in Rio de Janeiro. When Luigi shows him a cable car that the Troopas stole from Sugar Loaf Mountain, he says that "San Francisco doesn't seem quite so far, when I look at that cable car."
