- only in Australia
- hot countries
- Taronga Zoo can be reached from Sydney by:

Additionally, an in-game news article states that, during the events of the game, the Taronga Zoo is serving as a refuge for penguins displaced by Bowser's plan to melt Antarctica.[1]
- ^ "Thousands of penguins have begun arriving daily as their home in Antarctica is turning to soup. Most are finding their way to Taronga Zoo, where they've tried to gain admission to the polar bear den. The polar bears, meanwhile. are complaining that there's no more room. Zoo officials have appealed to Mario and Luigi to restore the South Pole to its once frozen state."
