'''[[wikipedia:New York City|New York City]]''' (or just '''New York''') is the largest city in the [[United States]], and is one of the largest cities on [[Earth]].
But they just don't seem to sail you off my mind (yeah)
 
It's the Honky Tonk women
New York City consists of five boroughs; [[Brooklyn]], [[wikipedia:Manhattan|Manhattan]], [[wikipedia:Queens|Queens]], the [[wikipedia:Bronx|Bronx]] and [[wikipedia:Staten Island|Staten Island]]. However, Brooklyn is the most notable borough to the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' television series for it is where [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] grew up, and also where [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]] is located.

(yeah)
==History==
It's the Honky Tonk women, yeah
===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
And give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues (my my)
New York City was mentioned several times on ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', mostly in some of the live-action segments. In "[[Flatbush Koopa]]", [[Bowser|King Koopa]] announced that he would take over all of New York City and dub it "New Koopa" once he finished taking over Brooklyn. Fortunately, this never happened.
It's the Honky Tonk women, yeah
 
And give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Excluding references to Brooklyn, New York City as a whole was also seen a few times in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In "[[Kootie Pie Rocks]]", [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] takes her friends to see a [[Milli Vanilli]] concert somewhere in New York City.
 
In "[[Recycled Koopa]]", the [[Koopalings]] end up dumping their garbage down a [[Warp Pipe]] leading to Brooklyn. When their contaminated garbage winds up turning the citizens of Brooklyn into [[Koopa Zombie]]s, Bowser takes advantage of the situation by using the garbage to turn everyone in New York into zombies. Bowser's plans were foiled by Mario and Luigi, who built a [[Trash Smasher]] that recycled the garbage, turning everyone back to normal. The [[Statue of Liberty]] made its appearance at the end of the episode.
 
===''Mario is Missing!''===
[[Image:NewYorkCity_MIM.png|thumb|The city map of New York City as it appears in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''.]]
In its only video game appearance to date, New York was one of the cities - besides [[Rio de Janeiro]], [[Tokyo]], [[Cairo]], and [[London]] - Luigi had to visit in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. The plumber's task was to return artifacts to some of the city's landmarks that were invaded by [[Koopa Troopa]]s. The Troopas stole "King Kong" from the [[Empire State Building]], the torch from the [[Statue of Liberty]], and the Statue of Prometheus from the [[Rockefeller Center]].
 
===''Club Nintendo''===
===="Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit"====
New York City also makes several appearances in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic series. In "[[Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit]]", Mario is teleported into the Viking Age and, at the same moment, the Vikings [[Erik, Baleog and Olaf]] are teleported into New York. Their simple presence in the city causes an enormous chaos there, resulting in [[car]] crashes, for example. Finally, some New York policemen arrest them.
 
===="Mario in Mariozilla"====
The city is razed to the ground once more in "[[Mario in Mariozilla]]", this time by Mario who, due to a bad spell of [[Kamek]], has grown to a huge size. Searching for advice from [[Dr. Light]], who lives in the [[Empire State Building]], the huge Mario cannot avoid crashing some buildings and even skyscrapers in New York City. When he finally reaches Light's home, he climbs up the Empire State Building in order to talk to the doctor.
 
===="Sag niemals Holerö!"====
New York was also mentioned in the story "[[Sag niemals Holerö!]]", in which Mario vacations in [[Switzerland]]. At some point, due to the word "Holerö" being pronounced by evil alien [[KKDU|Heini]], all humans in Switzerland turn into cheese. Mario decides to leave the country, but notices that the crew of the airline that were supposed to bring him back to New York have turned into [[Hot Dog|hot dogs]]. Doubting their aeronautical competence, the plumber decides to go to [[Germany]] instead.
