Galata Bridge

Galata Bridge in the DOS version.

“The Galata Bridge is the only span to cross the Golden Horn Harbor. The harbor runs into the Bosporus Strait which separates the European from the Asian sections of Istanbul. The city's strategic location between the continents has made it a major port for centuries. The bridge rests on pontoons and can be opened to allow tall ships to pass. A new, stationary bridge carries trucks and autos, while the old Galata is now for pedestrians. The bridge's lower level is crowded with restaurants, stores, coffee and tobacco shops.”

—Pamphlet, Mario is Missing! (PC)

The Galata Bridge is a bridge that spans the Golden Horn Harbor. It was built during the reign of Sultan Abdulmejid II. It was made of wood, but it got renewed and restored repeatedly until another bridge was built in 1987. There is a variety of fish restaurants under the bridge. The Galata Bridge is located in Istanbul, Turkey.

In the PC versions of Mario is Missing!, a Koopa Troopa stole the Turkish Flag from the bridge, forcing the site to close until Luigi returns it.
