New York City (or just New York) is the largest city in the United States, and is one of the largest cities on Earth.
New York City consists of five boroughs; Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. However, Brooklyn is the most notable borough to the Marioverse for it is where Mario and Luigi grew up, and it's also where Mario Brothers Plumbing is located.
New York City was mentioned several times on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, mostly in some of the live-action segments. In "Flatbush Koopa", King Koopa announced that he would take over all of New York City and dub it "New Koopa" once he finished taking over Brookyln. Fortunately, this never happened.
Excluding references to Brooklyn, New York City as a whole was also seen a few times in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. In "Kootie Pie Rocks", Princess Toadstool takes her friends to see a Milli Vanilli concert somewhere in New York City.
In "Recycled Koopa", the Koopalings end up dumping thier garbage down a Warp Pipe leading to Brooklyn. When their contaminated garbage winds up turning the citizens of Brooklyn into Koopa Zombies, Bowser takes advantage of the situation by using the garbage to turn everyone in New York into zombies. Bowser's plans were foiled by Mario and Luigi, who built a Trash Smasher that recycled the garbage, turning everyone back to normal.
