Egypt as a whole, appeared for the first time when Mario traveled there, in the German [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Mario's Picross (comic)|Mario's Picross]]" (at the end of the story, it turned out to be a dream of Mario's, so these events may not have actually happened in Mario's life). He planned to go on an adventure holiday; however, the holiday did not fulfill his expectations. At first, he accidentally broke off the Sphinx's nose. Some Egyptians arrested him due to this "mutilation" inside of a [[pyramid]]. Trying to find his way out of the temple, he came across several traps (including some elements of the [[Mushroom World]], such as a [[Chain Chomp]]). Egypt also has a species that is not to be found elsewhere in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series, namely [[Dromedary|Dromedaries]].

Template:Location-infobox Egypt (Arabic: مصر, Miṣr) is a country on Earth, located in North Africa. Both Mario and Luigi have traveled to Egypt once, independently from each other. First, Luigi visits the country's capital, Cairo, during the events of the game Mario is Missing!. In the game, he must return artifacts that were stolen by Koopa Troopas to the Great Pyramid, the Mosque of Mohammed Ali, and the Sphinx.

Egypt as a whole appears for the first time when Mario travels there in the German Club Nintendo comic "Mario's Picross" (at the end of the story, it turns out to be a dream of Mario's, so these events may not have actually happened in Mario's life). He plans to go on an adventure holiday; however, the holiday does not fulfill his expectations. At first, he accidentally breaks off the Sphinx's nose, for which he is arrested by Egyptians and placed inside a pyramid. Trying to find his way out of the pyramid, he comes across several traps (including some elements of the Mushroom World, such as a Chain Chomp). Egypt is also home to the Dromedary, a species that is not found anywhere else in the Mario series.

In addition to the unnamed Egyptians who arrest Mario, the comic also introduces Ali Mustafa, a tie-seller from Cairo. Another known character is Powert from Mobile Golf, who was born in Egypt.

In the Nintendo Adventure Book Brain Drain, presumably sarcastic references are made to "King Tub, the Pharoah Plumber of Egypt" and "Fleopatra, the Insect Queen of Egypt".

Egypt has also made some indirect appearances in several games. In a commercial for Super Mario Land, the game's setting was said to be placed in "Ancient Egypt". The game, at least, resembles Egypt, especially the Birabuto Kingdom. Other places based on Egypt include Desert Land from Super Mario Bros. 3, Pyramid Park from Mario Party 7, and Pyramid Land from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!.

In the unreleased CD-i game Super Mario's Wacky Worlds, Egypt was one of the planned levels.

As a theme

Ancient Egypt has also provided a basis for the theming of various Mario series game worlds.
