| '''{{wp|Earth}}''' is a planet on which a wide variety of people, cultures, and ecosystems reside. While the Earth that appears in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] franchise has some features derived from the non-fictional entity, fictional alterations to the planet have also been applied. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has stated that the backstory of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' has [[Mario]] arrive in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] through one of the [[Warp Pipes]] seen in ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' in [[New York City]] on Earth.<ref name="interview">{{cite|url=www.ndw.jp/mario-interview-230425/2|language=ja|title=インタビュー マリオ映画公開記念！宮本茂さんインタビュー 制作の始まりから驚きの設定まで|date=April 25, 2023|publisher=Nintendo Dream Web|accessdate=April 25, 2023}}</ref> Similar depictions include those of the [[DIC Entertainment|DIC]] cartoons, in which the "'''Real World'''" is separate from the world of the Mushroom Kingdom, and ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', in which Earth and the Mushroom Kingdom are in separate worlds connected by a [[Warp Zone]]. Later games have depicted the world of the Mushroom Kingdom as an Earth or Earth-like planet,<ref name="Motokura"/> sometimes incorporating places from the real world.

|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | The '''Earth''' is a planet far away from the [[Mushroom World]] and is the setting of ''Mario is Missing'' and ''Mario's Time Machine''. In both of these games, [[Bowser]] steals important artifacts from Earth, causing chaos on the planet. As such, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] must retrieve these items to restore balance to the Earth. |

|
| ====DIC cartoons==== | | == Origin Theories == |
| According to ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''{{'}}s introduction and ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]", [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] happened upon a [[Warp Zone]] to the Mushroom Kingdom while performing a plumbing house call and were sucked down into the Mushroom Kingdom. This second explanation was later modified through the power of [[Ludwig|Kooky von Koopa]]'s [[Time Travel Tube]], but no major changes were made to the history of the "Real World".
| |
|
| |
|
| In ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', Mario and Luigi live in the Real World and run a moderately successful plumbing business called [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing|Mario Brothers Plumbing]] in their hometown of [[Brooklyn]]. Many of the brothers' relatives live on the planet as well, including [[Mama Mario]] and [[Papa Mario]]; the show's live-action segments take place in Brooklyn, and [[Australia]] is mentioned during an encounter with [[Alligator Dundee (character)|Alligator Dundee]]. In the animated segments, Mario and Luigi often try to find their way back to Brooklyn, usually via a [[Warp Pipe]]; however, towards the end of the series, they decide to stay so that they can protect [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and the Mushroom Kingdom.
| | Mario and Luigi are believed to have grown up in [[Brooklyn]], a neighborhood of New York, a city on Earth. Sometime after ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Mario and Luigi were sent to Earth, possibly to avoid harm from [[Kamek]] or [[Bowser]]. On Earth, the brothers grew up, becoming plumbers and eventually stumbling into a [[Warp Pipe]] in the game ''[[Mario Bros.]]'' This warp pipe took Mario and Luigi back to the Mushroom Kingdom, where they have remained ever since. |
| | |
| In ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', many episodes feature characters using Warp Pipes to travel back and forth between the Real World and the Mushroom Kingdom. In the episode "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]", [[Bowser|King Koopa]] assigns each of his seven [[Koopalings]] to take over one of the Real World's continents:
| |
| | |
| [[File: ErrorWorld.jpg|thumb|Africa is mislabeled as "Australia", among other mistakes.]]
| |
| *Asia – [[Roy|Bully]] vandalizes the [[Great Wall of China]].
| |
| *[[Australia]] – [[Larry|Cheatsy]] goes to the {{wp|Outback|Australian Outback}} and turns humans into kangaroos.
| |
| *Europe – [[Wendy|Kootie Pie]] goes to the [[Louvre]] museum in Paris, France, where she magically alters works of art.
| |
| *[[Africa]] – [[Ludwig|Kooky]] transforms animals into plush animals in a savanna in a non-specified location.
| |
| *[[Antarctica]] – [[Morton|Big Mouth]] creates a [[Abominable Snowkoopa|monster]] to terrorize penguins.
| |
| *[[North America]] – [[Lemmy|Hip]] takes over all TV networks in the continent.
| |
| *[[South America]] – [[Iggy|Hop]] turns a portion of the {{wp|Amazon rainforest}} into a parking lot.
| |
| | |
| King Koopa is seen in the Real World in a flashback sequence in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' episode "[[Rock TV]]".
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario is Missing!'' and ''Mario's Time Machine''====
| |
| [[File:MapScreenDOS.png|thumb|200px|World map in ''Mario is Missing!'' (PC).]]
| |
| In the games, the real Earth is more explicitly and thoroughly visited in the several versions of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' and ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', both educational titles intended to teach players about world geography, cultures and history. As such, these games involve Luigi and Mario, respectively, visiting many landmarks and historically significant locations on all continents of the planet.
| |
| | |
| In both games, greater focus is given to the continents of Europe and North America (the [[United States of America]] in particular): in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC version]] of ''Mario is Missing!'', nine out the of 25 locations visited are European cities, while in the [[Mario's Time Machine (PC)|PC version]] of ''Mario's Time Machine'' half of the 20 unique places are located in that continent, and other five are in the USA. In ''Mario is Missing!'', Antarctica is where [[Bowser]]'s castle is located, thus being the final destination in the story.

| ====''Super Mario Bros.'' film====
| |
| The [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]] features an introduction that outlines the rule and extinction of the [[dinosaur]]s on Earth. Dinosaurs were the dominant species on the planet and overall superior to the small mammals who also inhabited Earth, until one day a gigantic meteor struck the planet. This cataclysm not only killed off the dinosaur population on Earth, but also caused spatial and dimensional disturbances that created a parallel Earth that subsequently became the new domain of any surviving dinosaurs and other animals. This alternate, parallel dimension becomes known as [[Dinohattan]], and allowed for most of its [[Dinohattanite|reptilian inhabitants to evolve into humanoid creatures]], while some retain [[Yoshi (film character)|their reptilian form]]. However, some members, such as [[Yoshi (film character)|Yoshi]], seemed to have retained their reptilian forms. Aside from one rundown city, Dinohattan, the parallel Earth is [[Desert Land#Super Mario Bros. (film)|an arid wasteland, lacking various resources]].
| |
| | |
| The first act of the film takes place in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York]] on Earth, until [[Princess Daisy (film character)|Daisy]] is kidnapped by [[Iggy (film character)|Iggy]] and [[Spike (film character)|Spike]] and brought to Dinohattan. It is established that a link between these two dimensions exists in the sewers of New York City. The plot of the film involves [[President Koopa]] trying to use Daisy's [[Meteorite piece|meteorite pendant]], a remnant from the meteor that split the dimensions, to merge and combine them back together. At the film's climax, [[Lena]] uses the meteorite shard to temporarily successfully combine the two dimensions. After Koopa's defeat, Mario and Luigi successfully un-merge the dimensions back to their original state and return to their home in Brooklyn.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario Kart'' series====
| |
| In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', most [[new course]]s are themed after cities and/or countries from Earth, featuring real-world landmarks, and many [[List of tours in Mario Kart Tour|tours]] are aptly named after such locations. Fourteen tracks based on real cities were released in ''Mario Kart Tour'' and in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' – Booster Course Pass]], of which seven are in Europe, three are in North America, three are in Asia and one is in Australia. The planet, as well as the {{wp|Andromeda Galaxy}}, can now be seen in the background of [[3DS Rainbow Road]].

| ====''Mario & Sonic'' series====
| |
| The ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' games, which tie in with the real world {{wp|Olympic Games}}, naturally place the cast of the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' and ''Sonic'' franchises on the real Earth. Cities that have hosted the event and appear in this series are:
| |
| | |
| *[[Beijing]], China (''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'')
| |
| *[[Vancouver]], Canada (''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'')
| |
| *[[London]], United Kingdom (''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'')
| |
| *[[Sochi]], Russia (''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'')
| |

| |
| Another Earth<ref name="Motokura">{{cite|quote=Perhaps the best way to say it is that the human characters you're encountering here and Mario also live on ''an'' Earth together"|author=[[Kenta Motokura]]|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD_K8veKC14&t=538|timestamp=08:58|publisher=YouTube|language=en-us|accessdate=July 11, 2024|title=''Super Mario Odyssey'' Gameplay with Developers at E3 2017 – Nintendo Minute}}</ref> serves as the planet where the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and other lands reside. ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' features [[Mario]] traveling between the planet and others across space, while ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' features him traveling between continents on the planet.
| |
| | |
| Much like the Mushroom Kingdom itself, depictions of this planet vary greatly between appearances. Some games, such as ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', depict a planet identical to the actual Earth in terms of landmasses, albeit surrounded by fictional elements from the ''Super Mario'' franchise, making its actual nature ambiguous. Other titles opt to obscure the surface of the planet, or show completely fictional continents altogether.
| |
| | |
| ====''Club Nintendo''====
| |
| During the events of the ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' magazine comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", aliens erroneously take Earth for a giant [[coconut]], and since they adore this kind of fruit, they take the planet with them, pulling it away from the sun. This results in a sudden drop of temperature all over the planet. When [[Donkey Kong]] and some of his friends talk to the aliens, they return Earth back to its original position.
| |
| | |
| In "[[Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All]]", from the same magazine, Mario and Luigi travel through space in search for a new spaceship. They finally find it on Earth (which Luigi referred to as "'''Planet Terra'''").
| |
| | |
| ====''Wario'' franchise====
| |
| [[Wario]] refers to the area below the [[Awazon river basin|Awazon]] as "deep within the Earth" in the manual of ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]''. In the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, Wario has a map of the Earth inside his house. Additionally, the Earth appears in the opening and closing cutscenes of ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''. The Earth also appears in the microgame "[[Shave the World]]" from ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' and ''WarioWare Gold''.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario Party'' series====
| |
| Earth appears in the maps of the [[Astro Avenue]] and [[Rocket Road]] boards from ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', the former being the starting space, and the latter in the map's background. In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' (in a [[Surf's Way Up|minigame]] in the latter), the Earth can be seen. In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', [[Globe Gunners]] is a minigame where players run on a globe and shoot opponents.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario Kart'' series====
| |
| [[File:Mario Kart Tour - Earth art.jpg|thumb|''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' artwork of Earth with various landmarks on top, such as the [[Big Ben]], the [[Eiffel Tower]] and the [[Statue of Liberty]], to represent the game's theme of touring the world. The landmasses, on the other hand, are based on the fantastical Earth of ''Super Mario Odyssey''.]]
| |
| [[File:Worldplay.jpg|thumb|left|Various characters racing across Earth. This artwork was made for ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', and it refers to the worldwide Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.]]
| |
| Official artwork for ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' depicts various characters racing and battling on the Earth's surface, visually representing the worldwide scope of the [[Nintendo DS]]'s Wi-Fi capabilities.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Earth is seen in the background of the [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] course, underneath the track. Players that fall off the course will fall towards the planet, appearing to start burning up in the atmosphere like a meteor before being saved by Lakitu. Earth also appears as a background for Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and the [[Mario Kart Channel]]. During matchmaking, the camera zooms in towards the surface to briefly highlight individual players, whose [[Mii]]s stand over their console's selected region. ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' also features Earth in the background for online features, including its own Mario Kart Channel.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]] is again set above Earth, along with a [[Blooper]] spaceship and [[Mario Kart TV|MKTV]] satellites floating in space. The planet can also be seen in the background of the [[Lunar Colony]] battle course in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. A globe of the Earth can be seen in the background of {{classic link|GBA|Ribbon Road}}, due to it now taking place inside a child's bedroom. Earth also continues to be prominently featured as a visual for the online mode, and players in an online lobby gather atop its surface between matches.
| |
| | |
| The key art, loading screen (prior to version 2.0.0) and multiplayer menu for ''Mario Kart Tour'' features Earth, appearing more cartoonishly with flat colors and visible latitude/longitude lines. It also resembles the planet's appearance in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', with some minor design differences.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario'' series====
| |
| =====''Super Mario Galaxy''=====
| |
| [[File:SMG2 Map W1.png|thumb|Earth as seen in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''{{'}}s [[Grand World Map]]]] | |
| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Earth is shown primarily in the opening and ending cutscenes, with [[Peach's Castle]] [[Castle Gardens|Gardens]] being the first setting that [[Mario]] traverses through. Earth is first shown from space when Bowser kidnaps Peach, removes her castle from its foundation, and carries them both into space. Earth is also the setting of [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], due to it involving Mario returning to Peach's Castle Grounds in order to attend the uninterrupted [[Star Festival]].
| |
| | |
| =====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''=====
| |
| Earth returns in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where it is shown in the background of [[World 1 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 1]] and the [[Grand World Map]]. The settings of subsequent worlds also resemble real places, such as the Solar System in World 2, the Orion Arm in World 3, the Milky Way galaxy in World 4, the Local Group in World 5, and a black hole/quasar in World 6. World S is exempt, due to it featuring a planet with star-shaped islands instead, as well as the backgrounds of the first two [[Bowser Jr.]] galaxies ([[Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker]] is the exception, due to it featuring a Sun in the background).
| |
| | |
| =====''Super Mario 3D World''=====
| |
| [[File:World Star SM3DW.jpg|thumb|Earth as seen in the background of [[World Star (Super Mario 3D World)|World Star]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'']]
| |
| Earth also appears in the backgrounds of [[World Star (Super Mario 3D World)|Worlds Star]], [[World Mushroom (Super Mario 3D World)|Mushroom]], and [[World Flower (Super Mario 3D World)|Flower]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', due to those [[world]]s being set in space. Upon completing [[Super Galaxy]] in World Star, [[Rosalina]] will be unlocked as a playable character. Like Rosalina, both [[Luma]]s and [[Star Bit]]s are also fittingly present.
| |
| | |
| =====''Super Mario Odyssey''=====
| |
| [[File:World Map SMO.png|thumb|left|Earth as seen in ''Super Mario Odyssey''{{'}}s world map]]
| |
| Earth is featured in the game ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Mario and [[Cappy]] travel across the world to stop Bowser. Their ship, the [[Odyssey]], has a globe that is used to transition to the menu for traveling to different kingdoms. Earth looks different than how it appears in real life, with the western hemisphere featuring a landmass resembling Pangaea and the eastern hemisphere featuring landmasses resembling Laurasia and Gondwanaland, as well as islands shaped like a top hat, a Triceratops head, a flower, and a mushroom. The game features various kingdoms serving as stand-ins for real countries and cities such as London, England; Mexico; Greece; possibly Germany, New York City, NY; Russia, the French Riviera; Italy; and Japan.
| |
| | |
| Earth can be seen from the [[Moon Kingdom]], where it is seen rising from the horizon, while its southern hemisphere is seen during the escape sequence after the final boss fight, signifying an exit of a collapsing cave in the moon.
| |
| | |
| =====Other appearances=====
| |
| Earth appears in the background of the box arts for ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (Japanese version) and ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Its atmosphere can also be seen in the background during the battle against [[Raphael the Raven]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.
