{{ | {{quote2|Sydney's main harbor was named Port Jackson by the explorer, Captain James Cook in 1770. The Australian harbor is famous for its beauty and easy access. The Sydney Harbor Bridge, nicknamed the "Old Coat Hanger," spans Port Jackson's narrowest channel. It connects North Sydney to an area called "The Rocks". The bridge was completed in March of 1932. 750,000 people attended the opening celebration. Its construction design, single arch suspension, was considered a great feat of engineering at the time.|Pamphlet|''[[Mario is Missing!]]''}} | ||
The Sydney Harbor Bridge's first appearance in ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' media is in the PC versions of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', where [[Koopa Troopa]]s steal a [[Steel Girder from the Harbor Bridge]]. As such, the bridge is forced to close down. [[Luigi]] must track it down, defeat the Koopa carrying it, and return it. Before the Harbor Bridge's information booth will accept it, however, he must prove its authenticity by answering these trivia questions correctly. | |||
