History

Mario is Missing!

Template:Quote2 The Sydney Harbor Bridge's first appearance in Mario media is in the PC versions of Mario is Missing!, where Koopa Troopas steal a Steel Girder from the Harbor Bridge. As such, the bridge is forced to close down. Luigi must track it down, defeat the Koopa carrying it, and return it. Before the Harbor Bridge's information booth will accept it, however, he must prove its authenticity by answering these trivia questions correctly.

  • Who named the harbor Port Jackson?
    • The Jackson 5
    • Mr. Sydney
    • A cook
    • Captain James Cook
  • What is the Bridge's nickname?
    • Silver Gate
    • Broken Arches
    • Cook's Folly
    • Old coat hanger

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart Tour

Much later, the Sydney Harbor Bridge would reappear in Mario Kart Tour as part of the course Sydney Sprint. It is crossed in the original Sydney Sprint route and in Sydney Sprint 2. In both layouts, the Tangara train will pass by, and its passengers will throw Mushrooms, Bananas, and Bob-ombs onto the track as racers pass.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Sydney Sprint returns in the Mario Kart 8 DeluxeBooster Course Pass, and as such, the Harbor Bridge also returns. In this game, the passengers of the train will only throw Coins. The bridge now has ramps on it that are facing the opposite direction to the racers on the first lap, so they can only be used when racers cross from the other direction on the second and third laps.
