Line 72:
** Another watery Mars can be seen in a game and anime [[Mars Daybreak]], which, interestingly, is set in the same universe with the [[Gunparade March]] series.
* Mars plays a major role in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam|Gundam F90]]'': {{spoiler|the remnants of Neo-Zeon from [[Chars Counterattack]] retreated there, and thirty years later have built a giant railcannon for the purpose of destroying Earth.}}
** The strange thing is that this is the only UC Gundam work it appears in. This may be due to the aborted ''Turn A Space'' series plan, which eventually became ''[[Turn aA Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]]'', which was meant to serve as a [[Distant Finale]] not only to all of Gundam, but Tomino's other [[Humongous Mecha]] anime as well. This would have included ''Daitarn3'', in which Mars is the home of a race of evil cyborgs known as the Meganoids. Not exactly the friendliest place in the Solar System.
*** But then, no Gundam series really ever ventured away from the Earth Sphere. F90 and Crossbone series are a little known spinoffs, and any other series paid the Outer System only a mention at best. Even ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Zeta Gundam]]'', which featured a Jovian, Paptimus Scirocco, still have him visit the Earth Sphere.
** Mars gets a couple of mentions in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Gundam Wing]]'', as [[The Ojou|Relena]] makes terraformation her pet project after becoming Vice Foreign Minister near the end of the series. The sequel novel ''Frozen Teardrop'' gives Mars a much larger role: the planet is terraformed a couple of decades after the anime ended thanks to miraculous algae from Jupiter's moon Europa, leading [[The Rival|Zechs Merquise]] to become the first President of the Martian Federation, and war clouds may be stirring between the red planet and Earth.
** Finally, the Red Planet is the home of the series villains in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam AgeAGE]]''. It was revealed that the Unknown Enemy are Martian colonists abandoned by the Earth Federation, and because of what it thinks to be betrayal, have initiated a revenge by attacking colonies in the Earth's orbit.
* Whenever asked, Chao Lingshen of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' would claim that she was from Mars. Thanks to events in chapter 257, {{spoiler|this no longer seems so random with the confirmation of [[Magic World|Mundus Magicus]] being located on Mars itself}}.
** ...sort of. {{spoiler|Mundus Magicus is essentially "[[Another Dimension|out of phase]]" with Mars. It occupies the same area and the geographic features more or less line up, but it's not "really" Mars. Just [[Layered World|layered]] on top of it.}}
