The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer) 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 Super 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 has to find and return the brick before the Berlin Wall could become open to tourists once again. However, in order to prove the brick's authenticity, he must answer two of the following trivia questions:

  • When did the East Germans begin to build the Wall?
    • 1961
    • 1700s
    • 1989
  • For what reason did they build it?
    • To keep East and West Germany separate
    • They were chilly during the Cold War
    • To hang pictures

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 appears in Berlin Byways in Mario Kart Tour. It receives most of its focus in the first layout of Berlin Byways, 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 Walland its Whomps are still present. Players drive past it during the final lap of the course.
