Although Mertropolis is oxygen-filled, the residents are fish with human legs. Since fish cannot breathe oxygen, the people of Mertropolis wear water-filled fishbowls. (Strangely, the citizens panicked when Bowser flooded the place.) Notable residents of Mertropolis include its ruler [[King Mackerel]] and his daughter [[Holly Mackerel]].

The town's name comes from a portmanteau of the words "merfolk" and "metropolis", a word for a big city.
