'''{{wp|Brooklyn}}''' is a borough of the [[United States of America|American]] city of [[New York City|New York]] and the hometown of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in certain ''Mario'' media. 

One of its first mentions in a game is in ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', in which upon being asked if he was from Italy (due to his accent) by an imperial ruler in China, [[Mario]] says that he is from Brooklyn, New York. Of course, granted the time period, the feudal lord did not know what Brooklyn was.

According to early media such as the instruction booklets for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''{{wp|SimCity (1989 video game)#Super NES|SimCity}}''<ref>''SimCity'' SNES instruction booklet, page 4. "''Well, this is what you asked for. Bowser is on the loose, stomping, smashing, ripping down power lines, starting fires, tearing up roads and railroads and generally doing everything possible to make life about as unconfortable as a bed of spikes. I can hardly bear to watch. And although you can’t see them, the SimCitizens are in the streets, screaming and running around like ants. After all, they didn’t elect their mayor to use the city as an experiment in terror. As for Bowser, you can hear in roaring in anger, unable to find Mario and Luigi, which isn’t surprising since they live in Brooklyn, not Tokyo. Listen closely and you’ll also hear explosions as factories catch fire. According to my statistics, over half of all mayors regret the decision to sack their cities, but fortunately for their peace of mind the guilt lasts only 2.6 seconds on average.''"</ref> and console conversions of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''<ref>''Mario is Missing!'' instruction booklet, page 2 (SNES) or 4 (NES). "''Will the brave brothers from Brooklyn permit this abominable snow plan? The boys say “Not!”''"</ref>, the ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' Shogakukan<ref>"[http://shmuplations.com/mario64/ Super Mario 64 – 1996 Developer Interviews originally featured in the official strategy guides]" ''shmuplations.com''.

"''According to the visitor from Brooklyn, he had been invited to the castle for a piece of cake, which Peach had just baked.''"</ref> guides, as well as the [[DIC Entertainment|DIC]] cartoon shows and [[Nintendo Comics System]], the Mario Brothers are from Brooklyn.

==History==
===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
[[File:Supershowplumber.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Mario Brothers Plumbing, the setting of every live-action segment, is located in Brooklyn.]]
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', it is shown that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] ended up in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] by getting sucked down a [[Warp Pipe]] connected to the drain of a bathtub that they were unclogging.

In the cartoon episodes, Mario and Luigi often make references about their former lives in Brooklyn, or lament on how they wish to return home. The live action segments all took place at the [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]] shop in Brooklyn.

In the episode "[[Brooklyn Bound]]", Mario and Luigi meet up with [[Salvador Drainotto]], a fellow Brooklyn plumber who had been lost in Mushroom Kingdom for thirteen years. However, Salvador Drainotto had discovered a one-way drainpipe to back to Brooklyn, which could only be used once. With Mario and Luigi's help, Salvador Drainotto was able to reach the pipe, and offered Mario and Luigi to come along. Mario and Luigi almost go along with Salvador Drainotto, but decide to stay behind in the end to save [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] from [[Bowser|Koopa Khan]] and the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa Pack]].

Brooklyn is also featured in the episode "[[Plummers Academy]]". In an extended flashback sequence, Mario tells the story of how he and Luigi became plumbers after being flunked by [[Sergeant Kooperman]] at the [[Brooklyn Plumbers Academy]].

In the episode "[[Flatbush Koopa]]", a [[Warp Pipe]] leading to Brooklyn is discovered, and Mario and Luigi, having defeated King Koopa, get to return home. When they get there, they are surprised to see that King Koopa also escaped, and is slowly turning the city into "Kooplyn", as revenge against the Mario Bros. for ruining all of his evil plots. Although they manage to foil King Koopa and lead him back to the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario blows up the pipe with a [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]], if only so that King Koopa cannot return to Brooklyn. By blowing up the pipe, Mario and Luigi are forced to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom until they can find another way to get home.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', more Warp Pipes leading to [[Earth|the real world]] had been discovered, making access to Brooklyn much more convenient. 

In the episode "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]", Bowser and [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]] try to go back in time to stop the Mario Bros. from going down the drainpipe in Brooklyn, but their plan screws up when the [[Time Tube]] turns them, along with Mario, Luigi and Toad into babies.

In "[[Misadventures in Babysitting]]", Mario and Luigi accidentally warp into a Brooklyn home, and get suckered into babysitting a brat named [[Junior (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3)|Junior]], who warps himself to the Mushroom Kingdom in a game of hide and seek.

In "[[Recycled Koopa]]", the [[Koopalings]] dump [[Koopa trash|their garbage]] down a Warp Pipe to Brooklyn. As a result, the garbage mutates the people there into [[Koopa Zombie]]s and  other creatures into members of the Koopa Troop (e.g. seagulls into [[Paragoomba|Para-Goomba]]s and fish into [[Spiny Cheep Cheep|Spiny Cheep-Cheep]]s). Mario and Luigi do what they can to clean up the garbage before the entire city, let alone the whole Real World, gets contaminated.

===''Super Mario World'' television series===
While the location itself does not appear, Brooklyn is mentioned in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series episode "[[Mama Luigi]]" when Luigi says, "''Well, like they say in Brooklyn, early to bed, early to catch the worm. Or is it the bagel?''"

===''Club Nintendo''===
The story of the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Super Mario: Im Rausch Der Geschwindigkeit]]" takes place in Brooklyn, where there is a fictional speed limit of 80 "dinosaurpower" Mario is overstepping.

The [[Nintendo Skyscraper]], which appears in the story "[[Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens]]", is also located "in the heart of Brooklyn".

===[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]]===
In the ''Super Mario Bros.'' movie, [[Mario (film character)|Mario Mario]] and [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi Mario]] live in Brooklyn, where they run the [[Mario Brothers Plumbing|Mario Bros. Plumbing Service]]. The bulk of the film takes place in [[Dinohattan]], an alternate-universe version of [[New York City]] in a world where humans evolved from dinosaurs.
