TheBrooklyn Bridge is an old suspension bridge linking theNew York City boroughs ofManhattan andBrooklyn. It has been mentioned on a few occasions throughout theSuper Mario franchise, and is even traveled to at one point.
History[edit]
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]
The Brooklyn Bridge is mentioned during several ofThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'s live-action segments. Additionally, it can be seen during the establishing shot ofMario Brothers Plumbing at the start of every segment except "Bats in the Basement".
In "All Steamed Up",Sgt. Slaughter calls Mario and Luigi to inform them he is stuck in traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge on his way over to Mario Brothers Plumbing. However, he informs them that since he is driving aM4 Sherman, he can take a shortcut by crashing through the other vehicles.
In "Mama Mia Mario",Mario'sMama orders her son to wash the Brooklyn Bridge, among other demands.
In the animated episode "Brooklyn Bound", the Brooklyn Bridge appears as one of Mario and Luigi's thoughts of Brooklyn asSalvador Drainotto announces that he has found a way back to the city.
In the animated episode "Flatbush Koopa", the Brooklyn Bridge is an actual plot point. At first, the Brooklyn Bridge is simply one of the landmarks Luigi points out when he and Mario first arrived in Brooklyn. At one point, King Koopa announces that the Brooklyn Bridge, along with everything else to do with Brooklyn, is to dubbed the Kooplyn Bridge once he succeeds with his takeover.
Later on,King Koopa, having ditched Mario and his friends atConey Island, ventures to the Brooklyn Bridge, along with severalKoopa Troopas andBob-Ombs. King Koopa announces that by destroying the Brooklyn Bridge, Mario's group is unable to catch up with them while he takes over the rest of the city.
Mario's group manages to catch up with King Koopa, but keep their distance from him. Mario and Luigi then leave to get help, while King Koopa tosses several Bob-Ombs off the bridge, and attempts to blow it up at its base. After doing some minor damage, Mario and Luigi return with several police officers, but King Koopa uses hisKoopa scepter to turn them into bricks, which the Koopa Troopas toss at Mario and Luigi.
Toad then steals the scepter from King Koopa, and Princess Toadstool uses it to turn the police officers back to normal. While the police officers pursue the Koopa Troopas, Toad convinces King Koopa to follow him back to the Mushroom Kingdom, as he is holding his scepter. King Koopa then abandons his original plans, and leaves the Brooklyn Bridge to chase Mario's group back to theMushroom Kingdom.
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
At the start ofThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Misadventures in Babysitting", Mario and Luigi accidentally wind up atJunior's house, which leads to mild confusion for the two brothers. Mario is easily able to identify where they are, as he sees the Brooklyn Bridge when he peers through the kitchen window.
Game Boy comics[edit]
The Brooklyn Bridge makes a cameo in theGame Boy comicIn the Palm of Your Hand..., where it can be seen as a dark cloud hangs over the North Tower of theWorld Trade Center complex, indicatingTatanga and his army's presence inside theWindows on the World restaurant at the top of the tower.
