| '''{{wp|Vancouver}}''' is the largest city in {{wp|British Columbia}}, {{wp|Canada}}, and the largest city on the west coast of the country as a whole. It maintains this role in a few games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

| ==History==
| | The city of Vancouver also appeared on the [[Globulator]], a world map in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', but was not visitable in the game, even though [[Montreal]] and [[Toronto]], other Canadian cities, were locations in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[MS-DOS|Microsoft Disk Operating System]] versions, respectively. |

| | {{stub}} |
| Vancouver is shown on the [[Globulator]], a world map 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!'']], but is not visitable in the game. | |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''===
| |
| Vancouver hosted the {{wp|2010 Winter Olympics}}, and thus it is also the main setting of the game ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. Many mountains are located near the city, including {{wp|Whistler Mountain}} and {{wp|Cypress Mountain Ski Area|Cypress Mountain}}, which hosted several Olympic events both in the game and in real life. Other venues which appear in the game include the {{wp|Hillcrest Centre|Vancouver Olympic Centre}}, {{wp|Rogers Arena|Canada Hockey Place}}, {{wp|Pacific Coliseum}}, and {{wp|Richmond Olympic Oval}}.

| Three courses based on Vancouver appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. The first course, [[Tour Vancouver Velocity|Vancouver Velocity]], was introduced as the signature course of the [[Vancouver Tour]]. The second course, [[Tour Vancouver Velocity|Vancouver Velocity 2]], later made its debut as the signature course in the [[Penguin Tour]]. The third course, [[Tour Vancouver Velocity|Vancouver Velocity 3]], was introduced in the [[Autumn Tour (2022)|2022 Autumn Tour]].
