The '''{{wp|Berlin Wall}}''' (German: '''''Berliner Mauer''''') was a concrete barrier that physically divided {{wp|West Berlin}} and {{wp|East Berlin}} from each other. It was constructed in 1961 and was destroyed in 1989, though some smaller segments of it still remain. Despite its deep political origins, it has appeared a few times within ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' media.

The Berlin Wall is one of the landmarks of [[Berlin]] visited by [[Luigi]] in the DOS version of ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing!]]''. In a raid on the city, [[Bowser]] sends his [[Koopa Troopa]]s to steal one [[brick from the Berlin Wall]], which forces it to close down. [[Luigi]] must find and return the brick so that the Berlin Wall can reopen to tourists. However, in order to prove the brick's authenticity, he must answer two trivia questions with the correct answers, written here in bold:

[[Luigi]] had to find and return the brick before the Berlin Wall could become open to tourists once again.

In ''[[Mario's Time Machine (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Mario's Time Machine]]'', [[Bowser]] travels back in time to 1989 and steals a single [[Sledgehammer]] from the site, which is apparently enough to halt its destruction. The Berlin Wall then becomes filled with [[Bodyslam Koopa]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s. [[Mario]] later travels back in time to the Berlin Wall himself to return the Sledgehammer while the Koopas attempt to stop him. He eventually reaches a guardpost (at the far-right of the screen) and drops off the Sledgehammer. Mario then travels back in time to the present as a news article congratulates Mario for helping topple the Berlin Wall.

The Berlin Wall appears in [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It receives most of its focus in the first layout of Berlin Byways, where [[Whomp]]s stand in holes in the wall and attempt to crush racers.


Berlin Byways returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the third wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC; as such, the Berlin Wall and its Whomps are still present. Players drive past it during the final lap of the course.
