'''New York City''' (or just '''New York''') is the largest city in the [[United States]], and is one of the largest cities on [[Earth]].
 
New York City consists of five boroughs; [[Brooklyn]], Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. However, Brooklyn is the most notable borough to the [[Marioverse]] for it is where [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] grew up, and it's also where [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]] is located.
 
New York City was mentioned several times on ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', mostly in some of the live-action segments. In "[[Flatbush Koopa]]", [[Bowser|King Koopa]] announced that he would take over all of New York City and dub it "New Koopa" once he finished taking over Brookyln. Fortunately, this never happened.
 
Excluding references to Brooklyn, New York City as a whole was also seen a few times in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In "[[Kootie Pie Rocks]]", [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] takes her friends to see a [[Milli Vanilli]] concert somewhere in New York City.
 
In "[[Recycled Koopa]]", the [[Koopalings]] end up dumping thier garbage down a [[Warp Pipe]] leading to Brooklyn. When their contaminated garbage winds up turning the citizens of Brooklyn into [[Koopa Zombie]]s, Bowser takes advantage of the situation by using the garbage to turn everyone in New York into zombies. Bowser's plans were foiled by Mario and Luigi, who built a [[Trash Smasher]] that recycled the garbage, turning everyone back to normal.
 
New York City also makes an appearance in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit]]" in which Mario is teleported into the Viking Age and, at the same moment, some Vikings are teleported into New York. Their simple presence in the city causes an enormous chaos there, resulting in [[car]] crashes, for example. Finally, some New York policemen arrest them.
 
==Trivia==
*The borough of Manhattan is the namesake of [[Dinohatten]] from the [[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|''Super Mario Bros.'' movie]].
*New York City's "The Big Apple" nickname (which has so far not been used in a ''Mario'' game) was actually given a reference in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', which featured a world known as [[Big Ape City]].
*Several aspects of the ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' gameboard [[Neon Heights]] were influenced by New York City.
*A stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', [[New Pork City]], is a pun on New York City.
