Sydney Opera House in DOS,CD-ROM Deluxe, Macintosh and SNES versions.
“Sydney's Opera House has become the most well-known landmark in the city. Most people remark that it looks exactly like a boat under full sail. A contest was held to design the Opera House. People from all over the world submitted plans, and a young architect from Denmark was chosen. Because of problems with the construction, the architect unhappily left the project before it was completed. The theater is built on Bennelong Point, named for an Aborigine, Australia's native people.”
—Pamphlet,Mario is Missing! (PC)

Luigi visits the Opera House in thePC, SNES, andNES versions ofMario is Missing!, as theSydney Opera Sheet Music containingLudwig van Beethoven'sSymphony No. 8 has been stolen byKoopa Troopas. After finding the Sheet Music, returning it, and proving the authenticity of the sheet music by answering the following questions, Luigi is awarded a prize of 1,190dollars.

The Sydney Opera House also appears inMario Kart Tour as a location inSydney Sprint. Inside,Toads,Shy Guys, and Koopa Troopas appear as the audience.

It is driven through in the first route of Sydney Sprint. AGlide Ramp launches players out of the Opera House and into theLuna Park-inspired amusement park. In Sydney Sprint R and R/T, an additional Glide Ramp launches them into the Opera House instead, though the original ramp can still be seen.

While it is not entered in Sydney Sprint 2 or Sydney Sprint 3, it is still visible. Inside the Opera House, most easily seen in Sydney Sprint 2R, the audience is still present, despite the racers never entering the building.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Tour Sydney Sprint returns inMario Kart 8 Deluxe as a classiccourse. Thus, the Sydney Opera House also returns. Racers glide out of it on the first lap like in the original Sydney Sprint. On the final lap, racers glide into it from the amusement park like in Sydney Sprint R.
