(Can anyone really be said to)
(I hit enter too early. "Can anyone really be said to 'inhabit' a wall," is what I meant to say. I guess maybe the Whomps could. Anyway, I got more specific on its role in 8 Deluxe, added a couple categories, and moved the MTM image up.)

The Berlin Wall was a concrete barrier that physically divided West Berlin and East Berlin from each other. It was constructed in 1961, and was destroyed in 1989. Despite its deep political origins, it has appeared a few times within Mario media.

History

Mario is Missing!

Template:Quote2

The Berlin Wall is one of the landmarks of Berlin visited by Luigi in the DOS version of Mario is Missing!. In a raid on the city (and many others around the globe), Bowser sent his Koopa Troopas to steal one brick from the Berlin Wall, which forced it to close down. Luigi had to find and return the brick before the Berlin Wall could become open to tourists once again.

Mario's Time Machine

[[File:Berlin Wall MTMNES.png|thumb|The Berlin Wall in the NES release of Mario's Time Machine In Mario's Time Machine, Bowser travels back in time to 1989 and steals a single Sledgehammer from the site, which is apparently enough to halt its destruction. The Berlin Wall then becomes filled with Bodyslam Koopas and Koopa Troopas. Mario later travels back in time to the Berlin Wall himself to return the Sledgehammer while the Koopas attempt to stop him. He eventually reaches a guardpost (at the far-right of the screen) and drops off the Sledgehammer. Mario then travels back in time to the present as a news article congratulates Mario for helping topple the Berlin Wall.

Mario Kart series

The Berlin Wall later appeared in Berlin Byways in Mario Kart Tour. It receives most of its focus in Berlin Byways 1, where Whomps stand in holes in the wall and attempt to crush racers.

Berlin Byways returns in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of the third wave of the Booster Course Pass DLC; as such, the Berlin Wall, and its Whomps, are still present. Players drive past it during the final lap of the course.
