The Statue of Liberty appears in the Super Mario franchise as a statue located on Liberty Island, New York City. Like in real life, it is a famous statue honoring the friendship between France and the United States of America, and it holds up a torch that symbolizes enlightenment.

History

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

In the episode "Flatbush Koopa" in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, when Mario and Luigi arrive at Brooklyn, they discover that the Statue of Liberty was changed to a statue of King Koopa, which they refer to as the Statue of Kooperty.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

The Statue of Liberty appears in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Recycled Koopa". When King Koopa planned to turn the human populace of New York City, let alone the rest of the Real World, into Koopa Zombies when his garbage was dumped into Brooklyn by the Koopalings, the statue was mutated into a Koopa statue (similar to The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!) before Koopa continued his dumping spree with his Crud Cannon, and just as Mario began mutating into a Koopa Zombie himself. The statue was transformed back to normal, along with the city's populace and Mario, thanks to the brothers' Trash Smasher, and as the brothers chased Koopa out of the city, the statue commented on the success of the brothers for foiling his plan. The statue was voiced by Tracey Moore.

  • The Statue of Liberty honors:
    • masses yearning to breathe free
    • French-American friendship
    • The New York harbor
