'''{{wp|Sydney}}''' is the capital city of the {{wp|New South Wales}} state on the eastern coast of [[Australia]].

==History==
===''Mario is Missing!''===
Sydney appears as a city in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]], [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]], and [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']]. In the DOS version, it is in the third level set out of five; in the SNES version, it is in the second level set out of three; and in the NES version, alongside [[San Francisco]], it is in the second pair of levels out of seven. There are three landmarks — [[Bondi Beach]], the [[Taronga Zoo]], and the [[Sydney Opera House]] — from which artifacts were stolen by [[Koopa Troopa]]s; respectively, a [[Surfboard from Bondi Beach|surfboard]], a [[Taronga Zoo koala|koala]], and some [[Sydney Opera Sheet Music|sheet music]]. In the PC version, a fourth artifact is stolen: a [[Steel Girder from the Harbor Bridge|steel girder]] from the [[Sydney Harbor Bridge]]. If [[Luigi]] finds and returns the artifacts to their respective landmarks, he will be rewarded with money and finally the city will be rescued.

Additionally, to defeat the [[Pokey]] preventing him from leaving the city, he must also use the [[Globulator]] to call [[Yoshi]] to his location, which he can deduce from the following information.

;Pesky Penguin Influx
:Thousands of penguins have begun arriving daily as their home in Antarctica is turning to soup. Most are finding their way to Taronga Zoo, where they've tried to gain admission to the polar bear den. The polar bears, meanwhile, are complaining that there's no more room. Zoo officials have appealed to Mario and Luigi to restore the South Pole to its once frozen state.
;City Reels From Recent Ripoffs
:All over town, things are turning up missing. Bowser and the Koopas have taken credit for the crimes, and have demanded dollars in large denominations as ransom. City officials have offered large rewards to anyone who can stop the terrible turtles.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:MKT Icon Sydney Sprint R.png|frame|Sydney in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Sydney also appears as the setting of the new course, [[Sydney Sprint]], first appearing in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Like other cities in the game, it has multiple numbered routes through the same map. The Sydney Tours in [[Sydney Tour (April–May 2021)|April–May 2021]] and [[Sydney Tour (September 2021)|September 2021]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' introduced Sydney Sprint and Sydney Sprint 2 respectively, while the [[Anniversary Tour (2022)|2022 Anniversary Tour]] introduced Sydney Sprint 3.

Sydney Sprint returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as a course in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', being the first course of the [[Propeller Cup]]. This version of the course combines all three of its routes from its ''Mario Kart Tour'' appearance, even though it released before Sydney Sprint 3.
