| '''Koopa's Tower''' is the name of the two skyscraper structure in [[Dinohattan]], residence to [[President Koopa]] in the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]]. President Koopa rules from within this location, with the help of his assistant [[Lena]]. It is also the residence of [[King (film character)|the King]], [[Yoshi]], [[Iggy (film character)|Iggy]], [[Spike (film character)|Spike]] and various others. [[Devo 4]] is located within the tower. It is modeled after the former {{wp|World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center}} buildings in [[New York City]], and is the movie's equivalent of [[Bowser's Castle]]. According to deleted scenes of the film, the similarity between Koopa's Tower and the World Trade Center stemmed from then-General Koopa catching his eye on the various skyscrapers in [[Manhattan]] while pursuing [[Daisy's mother|the Queen]] and the [[Meteorite piece|meteorite]]. | | '''Koopa's Tower''' is the residence of [[President Koopa]] in the [[Super Mario Bros.

| A statue based on the {{wp|Statue of Liberty}} can be seen for a mere few seconds in the final cut of the film, existing in Dinohattan's outskirts close to the junkyards area. Concept art shows that the statue was planned to be much closer to the tower; it is officially called "The Statue of Repression", though it is not referred to as such in the film.
| | ==Trivia== |
| | | *Koopa's Tower and its somewhat run-down counterpart are the [[Dinohattan]] equivalent of [[New York City]]'s former Twin Towers. They were destroyed during attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 and were later cut from the film{{ref needed}}. According to deleted scenes of the film, the similarity stemmed from then-General Koopa catching his eye on the various skyscrapers in Manhattan while pursuing [[Daisy's mother|the Queen]] and the meteorite. |
| Near the film's end (timestamp 1:30:58), the two dimensions of Dinohattan and the real world merge, and the World Trade Center in [[New York City]] transforms into Koopa's Tower.
