Map of Sydney
Map of Sydney

Sydney appears as a city in all versions of Mario is Missing!. In the DOS version, it's in the third level set out of five; in the SNES version, it's in the second level set out of three; and in the NES version, alongside San Francisco, it's in the second pair of levels out of seven. There are three landmarks — Bondi Beach, the Taronga Zoo, and the Sydney Opera House — from which artifacts were stolen by Koopa Troopas; respectively, a surfboard, a koala, and some sheet music. In the PC version, a fourth artifact is stolen: a steel girder from the Sydney Harbor Bridge. If Luigi finds and returns the artifacts to their respective landmarks, he will be rewarded with money and finally the city will be rescued.

Additionally, to defeat the Pokey preventing him from leaving the city, he must also use the Globulator to call Yoshi to his location, which he can deduce from the following information.

  • Boy:
    • "It's the world's sixth largest country. But you can also count on it being the smallest continent."
    • "This place is a mega-cool wonder. They often refer to it as 'The Land Down Under.'"
  • Tourist:
    • "I was most interested in the Aborigines. But now I want to see kangaroos too."
    • "It's a continent and a country, and it's the only one that's like that."
  • Business Woman:
    • "You're in the southern hemisphere, its name means 'Unknown Southern Land' I hear."
    • "I always thought Australia's capital was spelled Sid's Knee."
  • Scientist:
    • "I don't like to be bossy, but can't you recognize an Aussie?"
    • "Although Canberra is the capital, you're in Aussie's oldest and largest city."
  • Police Officer:
    • "You're in Sydney, mate. Koalas and surfing...can't wait!"
    • "I knew the maps wouldn't fail ya', this is Sydney, Australia."
