Berlin is the capital city of Germany in Europe. It appears as a location in Mario is Missing! and Mario Kart Tour.

History

Mario is Missing!

Berlin is exclusive to the PC version of Mario is Missing!. It's part of the fifth level set (alongside Sydney, Kathmandu, Buenos Aires, and Dublin), all of which Luigi has to visit in order to defeat Wendy O. Koopa. Just like all the other cities in Mario is Missing!, Berlin was invaded by Koopa Troopas. The enemies steal artifacts from various local landmarks: a horseshoe from the statue on top of the Brandenburg Gate, a park bench from Unter der Linden Street, a brick from the Berlin Wall, and Sophie Charlotte's Crown from Charlottenburg Palace. Luigi must recover all of the artifacts in order to secure the city.

Mario's Time Machine

Berlin indirectly appears in the NES version of Mario's Time Machine, as Mario travels back to the Berlin Wall's destruction in 1989.

Berlin reappears in Mario Kart Tour, introducing Berlin Byways in the Berlin Tour themed around it, which also includes a new course based on the city. Oddly, its second route, Berlin Byways 2, was introduced first. Berlin Byways 1 would not debut until the Metropolitan Tour.
