The '''{{wp|Berlin Wall}}''' | {{more images|Mario is Missing!, other versions of Mario's Time Machine}} | ||
The '''{{wp|Berlin Wall}}''' 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. Despite its deep political origins, it has appeared a few times within ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' media. | |||

{{ | {{quote2|The Berlin Wall was built by East Germany in 1961. The undeclared "Cold War" between Communist East Germany and democratic West Germany convinced the leaders they could no longer cooperate as one nation. East German soldiers guarded the wall to keep its citizens from escaping into West Berlin. In 1989, after 28 years, the Communist government opened the gates. The German people hated the Wall and began to tear it down. In a few months it had almost completely disappeared, but pieces of it can still be seen on the streets.|Pamphlet|''[[Mario is Missing!]]''}} | ||
The Berlin Wall is one of the landmarks of [[Berlin]] visited by [[Luigi]] in the DOS version of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. In a raid on the city (and many others around the globe), [[Bowser]] sent his [[Koopa Troopa]]s to steal one [[brick from the Berlin Wall]], which forced it to close down. [[Luigi]] had to find and return the brick before the Berlin Wall could become open to tourists once again. | |||

In ''[[ | In ''[[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. | ||
