Along with [[Athens]], [[Buenos Aires]], [[Mexico City]] and [[Paris]], Sydney is one of the five cities in the SNES version of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' that [[Luigi]] has to visit in order to defeat the second boss of the game, [[Iggy Koopa]]. There are three landmarks — the [[Bondi Beach]], the [[Taronga Zoo]], and the [[Sydney Opera]] — from which artifacts were stolen by [[Koopa Troopa]]s. In the PC version, a fourth landmark is added: the {{wp|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.
Sydney appears as a city in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]], [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]], and [[Mario is Missing!

History[edit]

Mario is Missing![edit]

Sydney appears as a city in the PC, SNES, and 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 Troopas; respectively, a surfboard, a koala, and some sheet music. In the PC version, a fourth artifact is stolen: a 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.
