The Golden Gate Bridge is a famous bridge found in San Francisco, USA, connecting the city to Marin County. It appears in the game Mario is Missing!, in which a Golden Gate Bridge fog horn has been stolen by Koopa Troopas. Fog horns allow ships to find out their exact location. Luigi's task is to find the horn and return it to the Golden Gate, for which he is rewarded 2,240 dollars, getting 3,200 dollars as a bonus if he returns it first.

Pamphlet Information from Mario is Missing!

Although more of an orange color than its name suggests, the Golden Gate might be the world's most famous bridge. It was built in 1937 and it took over 4 years to complete. It is 1280 meters long. The main cables are 927 cm in diameter and were designed to withstand winds of up to 160 kilometers per hour. Because the Golden Gate Bridge is covered in fog on most days, it is equipped with enormous fog horns. In the very middle, the bridge is 80 meters above the bay, just tall enough for Navy battleships to pass underneath.
