Hollywood is a district of Los Angeles, California on Earth, located in the United States of America. Countless movies and television shows are filmed either in or around Hollywood, making the city synonymous with the film industry. Highlights of Hollywood include the Hollywood Sign, which consists of giant white letters spelling out the name of the city atop a nearby hill, and the Walk of Fame, a sidewalk where celebrities are honored.
History[edit]
Saturday Supercade[edit]
Hollywood is referenced in the Saturday Supercade episode "Movie Mania," where the iconic Hollywood Sign can be seen at the beginning of the episode.
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]
Hollywood is mentioned in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segment "Fortune Teller", where the second prize of the Big Time Celebrity Prize Sweepstake Giveaway is a tour of Hollywood with Annette Funicello.
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
Hollywood is featured in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Dadzilla." Big Mouth and Kootie Pie Koopa, fed up with the way that their father treats them at home, concludes that they had likely been adopted, and that their real father is a movie star living in Hollywood. The two Koopalings travel to Hollywood on the Doomship via a Warp Pipe, but not without getting the attention of Mario and his friends.
In Hollywood, Big Mouth and Kootie Pie meet up with the giant robot, Madzilla, whom they presume is their "real" father. Using their magic wands, the Koopalings bring Madzilla to life, and fool him into thinking that he is their father. With Dadzilla wrapped around their fingers, Big Mouth and Kootie Pie are free to terrorize Hollywood.
Eventually, Mario and his friends scare Big Mouth and Kootie Pie out of Hollywood with their own robot, Madzilla's Mom. With the Koopas gone, Hollywood is safe from their tyranny. Princess Toadstool then invites Madzilla to live in Giant Land, as Hollywood is no place for a dinosaur like himself to live.
