Template:Location-infobox 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 Mario television series for it is where Mario and Luigi grew up, and it's also where Mario Brothers Plumbing is located.

History

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

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 Brooklyn. Fortunately, this never happened.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

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 their 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.

Mario is Missing!

The city map of New York City as it appears in Mario is Missing!.

In its only video game appearance to date, Paris was one of the cities - besides Rio De Janeiro, Tokyo, Cairo, and London - Luigi had to visit in Mario is Missing! in order to defeat the final boss of the game, Morton Koopa. The plumber's task was to return artifacts to some of the city's landmarks that were invaded by Koopa Troopas. The Troopas stole "King Kong" from the Empire State Building, the torch from the Statue of Liberty, and the Statue of Prometheus from the Rockefeller Center.

Club Nintendo

New York City also makes several appearances in the Club Nintendo comic series. In "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit", Mario is teleported into the Viking Age and, at the same moment, the Vikings Erik, Baleog and Olaf are teleported into New York. Their simple presence in the city causes an enormous chaos there, resulting in car crashes, for example. Finally, some New York policemen arrest them.

The city once more is razed to the ground in "Mario in Mariozilla", this time by Mario who, due to a bad spell of Kamek, has grown to a huge size. Searching for advice from Dr. Light, who lives in the Empire State Building, the huge Mario cannot avoid crashing some buildings and even skyscrapers in New York City. When he finally reaches Light's home, he climbs up the Empire State Building in order to talk to the doctor.
