| ==History==
| |
| ===''Mario Bros.''===
| |
| According to [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] in an interview he held with ''USA Today'' in 2010, ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' takes place in the sewers of New York<ref>"''Now with Mario, I think with Mario Bros. we had a setting of course that was underground, so I just decided Mario is a plumber. Let's put him in New York and he can be Italian. There was really no other deep thought other than that.''" Snyder, Mike (November 11, 2010.[http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2010/11/qa-mario-creator-shigeru-miyamoto/1#.VvWjUno0F4M Q&A: 'Mario' creator Shigeru Miyamoto].

| | |
| ===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
| |
| New York City is mentioned several times on ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', mostly in some of the live-action segments. In "[[Flatbush Koopa]]", [[Bowser|King Koopa]] announces that he will take over all of New York City and dub it "New Koopa" once he finishes taking over Brooklyn.
| |
| | |
| ===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
| |
| Excluding references to Brooklyn, New York City as a whole is also seen a few times in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In "[[Kootie Pie Rocks]]", [[Princess Peach|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 Zombie]]s, 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 build a [[Trash Smasher]] that recycles the garbage, turning everyone back to normal. The [[Statue of Liberty]] makes an appearance at the end of the episode.

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.
| |
| | |
| ===="Mario in Mariozilla"====
| |
| The city is razed to the ground once more 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.
| |
| | |
| ===="Sag niemals Holerö!"====
| |
| New York is also mentioned in the story "[[Sag niemals Holerö!]]", in which Mario vacations in [[Switzerland]]. At some point, due to the word "Holerö" being pronounced by evil alien [[KKDU|Heini]], all humans in Switzerland turn into cheese. Mario decides to leave the country, but notices that the crew of the airline that were supposed to bring him back to New York have turned into hot dogs. Doubting their aeronautical competence, the plumber decides to go to [[Germany]] instead.
