Greater location Istanbul
“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 in Istanbul.[1][2] It appears in PC versions of Mario is Missing! as a visitable location. In the game, a Koopa Troopa stole the Turkish Flag from the Galata Bridge, forcing the place to close until Luigi returns the item.
