The '''{{wp|Sydney Opera House}}''' (known as the '''Sydney Opera''' in the [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES version of ''Mario is Missing!'']]) is a famous opera house in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]] that opened in 1973. Its design is based off a boat under full sail or a whole bunch of seashells.

{{quote|Sydney's Opera House has become the most well-known landmark in the city. Most people remark that it looks exactly like a boat under full sail. A contest was held to design the Opera House. People from all over the world submitted plans, and a young architect from Denmark was chosen. Because of problems with the construction, the architect unhappily left the project before it was completed. The theater is built on Bennelong Point, named for an Aborigine, Australia's native people.|'''Pamphlet'''|Mario is Missing! (PC)}}
[[Luigi]] visits the Opera House in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]], SNES, and [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']], as the [[Sydney Opera Sheet Music]] containing [[Ludwig van Beethoven]]'s {{wp|Symphony No. 8 (Beethoven)|Symphony No. 8}} has been stolen by [[Koopa Troopa]]s. After finding the Sheet Music, returning it, and proving the authenticity of the sheet music by answering the following questions, Luigi is awarded a prize of 1,190 [[bill|dollar]]s.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====

The Sydney Opera House also appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a location in [[Sydney Sprint]]. Inside, [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, and Koopa Troopas appear as the audience. 

It is driven through in the first route of Sydney Sprint. A [[Glide Ramp]] launches players out of the Opera House and into the {{wp|Luna Park Sydney|Luna Park}}-inspired amusement park. In Sydney Sprint R and R/T, an additional Glide Ramp launches them into the Opera House instead, though the original ramp can still be seen.

While it is not entered in Sydney Sprint 2 or Sydney Sprint 3, it is still visible. Inside the Opera House, most easily seen in Sydney Sprint 2R, the audience is still present, despite the racers never entering the building.

====''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
{{classic link|Tour|Sydney Sprint}} returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as a [[classic course]]. Thus, the Sydney Opera House also returns. Racers glide out of it on the first lap like in the original Sydney Sprint. On the final lap, racers glide into it from the amusement park like in Sydney Sprint R.
