Flatbush is a community in the borough of Brooklyn, in New York City. It is mentioned on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and occasionally in issues of the Nintendo Comics System. During return trips to Brooklyn, it is unknown if the neighborhood of Flatbush is actually visited or not.
On The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, Flatbush is the neighborhood where Mario and Luigi grew up and is also where they started Mario Brothers Plumbing. As such, all of the show's live-action segments take place in Flatbush. A famous street in Flatbush is the eponymous Flatbush Avenue. Under the orders of Mama Mario, Mario once "washed [the street] as far as Flatbush Avenue".
In "Flatbush Koopa", King Koopa, after forcing the Koopa Pack to disband in the Mushroom Kingdom, attempts to take over all of Brooklyn. Upon seeing Mario and Luigi, he threatens to flatten them worse than he is going to flatten Flatbush. However, his takeover is ultimately foiled.
In the Super Mario Bros. comic "Beauty and the Beach", it is shown that a sailboat owned by Mario is named The Spirit of Flatbush.
In the Game Boy comic Pipes is Pipes, while fixing the pipes at the Clam Creek Nuclear Reactor, Mario comments that the pipelines are more confusing than New York City's subway system, though adds that he always managed to travel from Flatbush to Fifth Street alright.
