Although they manage to foil King Koopa and lead him back to the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario blows up the pipe with a [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]], if only so that King Koopa cannot return to Brooklyn. By blowing up the pipe, Mario and Luigi are forced to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom until they can find another way to get home.

According to a number of official sources, Mario and Luigi are from Brooklyn; these sources include the instruction booklets for the SNES version of SimCity[1] and console conversions of Mario is Missing!,[2] Shigeru Miyamoto in the Super Mario 64 Shogakukan guidebook[3] and Nintendo Power guides,[4] as well as the DIC cartoon shows, Nintendo Comics System, and The Super Mario Bros.
