Austria

Austria (Deutsh: Österreich) is a country in central Europe. Mario once traveled to Austria, during the events of the Club Nintendo comic "Sag niemals Holerö!". Originally, he was spending a vacation in Switzerland (a neighboring country of Austria), but at some point all humans in the country turned into food, most of them cheese. Frightened, he decided to leave the country as quickly as possible, but soon found that the crew of the American airline that was supposed to bring him back to New York had turned into hot dogs. Now his plan was to go to Germany via Austria, and to take a plane from there back home.

Arriving in Austria, Mario and TicToc (a Swiss not turned into cheese) found that the denizens had turned into mozartkugeln, a type of candy typical of Austria. However, they found an Austrian who was still in his normal form: Bomberman. Eager to solve the mystery, the three of them traveled on to Germany.

Also, Austria is available as a country to represent in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.
