===Brooklyn Public Library===
==Alps==
The '''Brooklyn Public Library''' is a large library in [[Brooklyn]] that Mario and Luigi used to visit when they lived there. When Mario and his friends venture into King Koopa's giant castle in the episode "[[Mario and the Beanstalk]]", Luigi jokingly notes that it is larger than the Brooklyn Public Library. In "[[Wild Thing]]", Mario and Luigi have each borrowed a book from the library, which they intend to read over the weekend.
The '''[[Wikipedia:Alps|Alps]]''' are a great mountain range in [[Europe]]. They were mentioned in the game ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' by a citizen of [[Rome]], saying that if Luigi brought Italian shoes from home, they could "climb the Alps for a peek of Rome."


In actuality, the library system of Brooklyn as a whole is known as the {{wp|Brooklyn Public Library}}, rather than any one single library going by that name.
The [[Swiss Cheese Alps]] from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Koopenstein]]" were named after the Alps.

===Count Bleck's World===
==Banishment Zone==
'''Count Bleck's World''' or '''Blumiere's World''' is a world that [[Count Bleck]] says he is going to create after destroying all worlds in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', and live there with his minions, [[Mimi]], [[Nastasia]], [[O'Chunks]], and [[Dimentio]] happily. Near the end, Dimentio claims that Count Bleck does not mean it and he is actually going to destroy all worlds and not leave a single one, not even [[Castle Bleck|his own]], but Tippi alerts him he is lying, causing Dimentio to fight Mario.
The '''Banishment Zone''' is a zone mentioned in promotional materials for ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where [[Bowser]] was sent before the events of the cartoon and after ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' However, Bowser escaped from the Banishment Zone and attacked the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] again, this time with his [[Koopalings]]. It is unknown how [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] sent Bowser to the Banishment Zone, where the zone is located and what it looks like as it was only ever mentioned in passing.


At the end of the game, Lord Blumiere and Lady Timpani (Count Bleck and Tippi's true forms) go to some other world where they presumably live happily ever after. After Mario and company all return to [[Flipside]], Nastasia is sad Count left and cannot stop crying.
==Broadshroom==
'''Broadshroom''' is a place mentioned by [[Eve]] during ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. She will speak of it when Mario accepts her "Tell that person..." trouble at the [[Trouble Center]]. Little is revealed about Broadshroom, except that many famous plays are performed there, of which Eve herself landed a lead role in one. It is seemingly based off of Broadway in [[New York City]], implying that it is probably a street in a large, unnamed city somewhere on [[Mushroom World]].


O'Chunks and Mimi tell her that Count Bleck must be alive and in peace. They say that they will even build the world that Count Bleck wanted so much &mdash; a world with love and not war.
==The Bronx==
'''[[Wikipedia:The Bronx|The Bronx]]''' is a borough of [[New York]], [[United States of America|United States]].

'''Crowhall University''' is a college mentioned by one of the [[crow]]s of [[Twilight Town]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. She states that her son is going to a test prep center and expresses hope that it will get him into a good school such as Crowhall University. This gets her companion interested in saving a college fund for her and her husband Bob's son, Billy.


===Dark beyond===
In "[[Rowdy Roddy's Rotten Pipes]]", Luigi tried to convince [[Rowdy Roddy Piper]] that his reformated bagpipes were actually a vacuum cleaner manufactored by the ficticious "McBronx Vacuum Company", which he claimed was from Scotland.
The '''dark beyond''' is the place referenced by [[Grifty]] in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' to be where the [[Shadow Queen]] came from, before she destroyed the Ancient City a thousand years ago.

===Dry Dry Kingdom===
In "[[Recycled Koopa]]", after turning all the citizens of [[Brooklyn]] in [[Koopa Zombie]]s, King Koopa announced that he would soon conquer the Bronx, along with Manhattan and Queens with his [[Crud Cannon]].
'''Dry Dry Kingdom''' is an ancient civilization that existed an unknown time ago in [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]]; Dry Dry Kingdom is mentioned in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' by a [[Dryite]] living in [[Dry Dry Outpost]], as well as by other characters, though not by name.


Dry Dry Kingdom is evidently a prosperous society ruled by a [[Little Mouser#Paper Mario|Nomadimouse]] named [[List of implied characters#King Mousta|King Mousta]]. The subjects of King Mousta rose up against him and rebelled against his rule. Wishing to have a society akin to anarchy, they exiled him from Dry Dry Kingdom. King Mousta eventually struck back against his traitorous followers sometime after his impeachment, defeating them with those still loyal to him, thieves and bandits who would later go on to create the town of Dry Dry Outpost.
==Brooklyn Public Library==
The '''Brooklyn Public Library''' is a large library in Brooklyn that Mario and Luigi used to visit when they lived there. When Mario and his friends ventured into King Koopa's giant-sized castle during "[[Mario and the Beanstalk]]", Luigi jokingly noted that it was larger than the Brooklyn Public Library.


This war waged by Dry Dry Kingdom's inhabitants and King Mousta may have caused the destruction of Dry Dry Kingdom, or at least contributed to it. Currently, the only remains of Dry Dry Kingdom's existence are [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]], which is guarded by [[Moustafa]], a possible descendant of King Mousta or his second-in-command, who is a thief boss charged with guarding the ruins.
In "[[Wild Thing]]", Mario and Luigi had each borrowed a book from the library, which they intended to read over the weekend.
===Eat at Joe's===

'''Eat at Joe's''' is a location which name is shown in any ending cutscene of the MS-DOS version for ''[[Mario's Time Machine (PC)|Mario's Time Machine]]''. When [[Mario]] confronts [[Bowser]], Bowser tries to use his [[timulator]] to escape. Eat at Joe's, as well as the [[Gobi Desert]], are the only few comprehensible location names shown on the time machine's display, before Bowser settles on "[[Paradise]]" in the year 2000 (in the good ending, the timulator malfunctions and teleports him to the [[Cretaceous Period]] instead).


The term "Eat at Joe's", or {{wp|Joe's Diner (placeholder name)|Joe's Diner}}, is a common placeholder name for a fictional, small restaurant establishment owned by a hypothetical everyman.

The karts race at high speeds are equipped with missile launchers. It has never been seen, however Luigi mentions it in-between chapters during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

This worries Cranky and makes him leave his [[Cranky's Cabin|cabin]] to reach them, as the valley's orchids are very poisonous during that time of the year.
'''Hatesong Tower''' is the final area in [[Luigi|Luigi's]] quest in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Its name is possibly a play on the term "Love Song". This is where Luigi and his partners fight the [[Chestnut King]] (and then Lord Crepe) to save [[List of Implied Characters#Princess Eclair|Princess Eclair]].

===Plumpbelly Village===
'''[[Wikipedia:Hell|Hell]]''' is the place of suffering and punishment that unrighteous souls are sent to after death, as outlined in various religions.
'''Plumpbelly Village''' is a town on the Strudel Continent. It is the location of one of the pieces of the Marvelous Compass that Luigi retrieves during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.


When Luigi arrives, the town is ruled by a two-headed snake named [[List of implied characters#Hizza|Hizza]], who demands regular sacrifices of the village's women. Luigi offers to don a ceremonial chiffon bride's dress and go in place of the mayor's daughter, who is next up. [[Jerry]], the cherry-shaped Bob-omb, horrified by the sight of Luigi in a dress, followed him to try and stop him, but Hizza takes Luigi into his lair. Luigi darts around the cave and makes the snake eat itself, disappearing in a puff of smoke. After Luigi emerges with the Marvelous Compass piece that Hizza was guarding, the mayor offers his daughter's hand in marriage. Luigi considers it, but that night, while staying in the village, he decides against it, convinced that Princess Eclair is his future bride, and sneaks out of the town. Jerry follows Luigi and [[Blooey]], making it his life mission to make sure that Luigi never dresses in drag again.
Hell is heavily referenced in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic ''[[Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens]]''. The creature [[Abigor]] claims to be the "middleman of Hell", and lives in a monster-filled temple called [[Infernum]], which is a Latin term for Hell. He also states "Welcome to Hell" when Mario and his friends enter the temple in their quest to save [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool's]], who had been kidnapped and turned into a zombie by Abigor. Because of what Abigor did to her mind, Toadstool tells her would-be savior, Mario, that his "[[Mama Mario|mother]] was scraping toilets in Hell."

===Pudding Continent===
[[The Underwhere]] of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' is often compared to Hell, but it bears much more resemblance to the Greek underworld, [[Wikipedia:Greek underworld|Hades]]. While the sinless were allowed to spend eternity in [[The Overthere]] (which bore more similarities to Hell's counterpart, [[Wikipedia:Heaven|Heaven]] than to the Greek [[Wikipedia:Elysium|Elisian Fields]]), the inhabitants of The Underwhere, did not suffer for their crimes. Unlike Hell, The Underwhere was merely a place of boredom, and many other aspects of The Underwhere are references to Hades, strengthening that connection. For example, the [[River Twygz]] is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Styx|the River Styx]], and both have ferrymen who take visitors across.
The '''Pudding Continent''' is a land only spoken of in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It is one of the many lands that Luigi goes to in his quest to save Princess Eclair. [[Blooey]]'s village and Rumblebump Volcano, where Luigi finds a compass piece, are located here.

Luigi is directed to the Rapturous Ruins by the piece of the [[List of implied items#Marvelous Compass|Marvelous Compass]] he gains in [[List of implied locations#Jazzafrazz Town|Jazzafrazz Town]]. He describes the ruins as "domed", and recalls that the interior was pure white, so that Luigi could not tell the difference between the floor and walls. Eventually, Luigi discovered a chamber containing a sleeping boy, [[List of implied characters#Cranberry|Cranberry]], in which he also met the mysterious character [[Screamy]], who later joined him on his adventures, though Screamy is not mentioned in the Super Luigi series. After Luigi woke Cranberry, the last of the [[List of implied species#Luff|Luff]]s, and received a piece of the Marvelous Compass from him, both Cranberry and the ruins disappeared, and Luigi was pointed toward [[List of implied locations#Hatesong Tower|Hatesong Tower]].

===Squirpia===
==Kitengela-Athi plains==
'''Squirpia''' is a long-forgotten kingdom mentioned in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', that once existed in [[Outer Space]]. It is mentioned in-game that 1,500 years ago, the [[Tribe of Ancients]] visited [[Squirpina XIV]], the then-queen of Squirpia, and entrusted her with the Blue [[Pure Heart]]. In order to protect the world, Squirpina hid the treasure in the [[Whoa Zone]], an apparently important place to the kingdom, and proceeded to place her young son [[Squirps]] inside a hibernation capsule, so that, when the time came, he would be able to guide the heroes to the Pure Heart in order to collect it.
The '''[[Wikipedia:Kitengela|Kitengela]]-Athi plains''' are plains in [[Africa]], south of [[Nairobi]]. They were mentioned in the game ''Mario is Missing!'', as being part of the [[Nairobi National Park]].


Squirps explains his story to the heroes at the end of Chapter 4; however, he does not make it clear how Squirpia fell, and so the reason is left unknown throughout the rest of the game. Following the defeat of the final boss, the young prince can be found speaking to a statue of his mother in the Whoa Zone, where he declares that he will restore his kingdom someday. He is never shown to accomplish this goal.
==Koopergarten==

When Luigi arrives in the Waffle Kingdom, he is given a piece of the [[List of implied items#Marvelous Compass|Marvelous Compass]]. If Luigi could find all the pieces, he would be able to track down Princess Eclair. After much toil and trouble (and quite a bit of luck), Luigi collects all the pieces and heads to Hatesong Tower to find the princess. However, he actually finds the evil Chestnut King, and the two engage in an epic battle. Ultimately Princess Eclair appears and interrupts the battle. Apparently, the princess and the Chestnut King were lovers but the king was transformed into a monster by Minister Crepe, who was in fact a dark sorcerer. As it turns out, Crepe had orchestrated events so that Luigi would reassemble the Magical Compass for him. Once he had the compass, Crepe would use its power to conquer the Waffle Kingdom, saying the [[Luff]] empire will rise again. However, Luigi and his allies defeat the shadowy Crepe. As a result, peace is returned to the Waffle Kingdom.

==Real locations==
==Netherworld==
Locations that actually exist on [[Earth]], or that originate in real mythology rather than being original to the ''Super Mario'' franchise.
The '''Netherworld''', is a location in many branches of mythology and religion. The Netherworld is generally considered to be the place where recently deceased souls depart to in the afterlife. On occasion, the Netherworld is associated with [[Hell]], as they have both been implied as located beneath the earth. In Chapter 3 of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the Netherworld is mentioned by a fighter in the [[Glitz Pit]]. As [[Craw-Daddy]] prepares to fight [[Mario]] and his [[partner]]s, he claims that he will drag them "through the gate to the Netherworld." In addition, the netherworld is also where the [[Shadow Queen]] is banished to after her defeat. Netherworld may retroactively be a reference to the [[Underwhere]], the underworld of "[[all worlds]]" visited in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
===Addis Ababa===
'''{{wp|Addis Ababa}}''' (Amharic: '''አዲስ አበባ''', ''Ādīsi Ābeba''; Oromo: '''''Finfinnee''''') is the capital city of [[#Ethiopia|Ethiopia]]. When [[Luigi]] travels to [[Nairobi]] in ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing!]]'', he does not know where he is; a businesswoman in the city gives him a hint by saying he is "in the largest city between Addis Ababa and Zanzibar." The city is also listed on the [[Globulator]] in all versions of the game, though it is not visitable.


===Afghanistan===
==Newark==
'''{{wp|Afghanistan}}''' (Dari Persian: '''افغانستان''', ''Afġānistān''; Pashto: '''افغانستان''', ''Afğānistān'') is a country located between Central Asia and South Asia. The nation is notable for cycling through multiple governments following the {{wp|1973 Afghan coup d'état|overthrow of the monarchy}} in 1973 and for its historical reputation as the "{{wp|graveyard of empires}}," owed to foreign powers consistently failing to achieve long-term military victories in the country. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']] (released during the first of two periods when the country was governed by the {{wp|Islamic State of Afghanistan}}), the cities of Herat and Kabul are listed on the [[Globulator]].
'''[[Wikipedia:Newark, New Jersey|Newark]]''' is the largest city in the state of New Jersey, and is located near [[New York City]]. In "[[The Great Hereafter]]", it was revealed that [[Grandma Mario]] was buried in Newark. When Grandma Mario possessed the body of [[The Old Psychic Lady|The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before it Happens]], she implied that Newark was not a pleasant place to live.


===Alaska===
==Pastadena==
'''{{wp|Alaska}}''' (Aleut: '''''Alax̂sxax̂'''''; Alutiiq: '''''Alas'kaaq'''''; Central Yupik: '''''Alaskaq'''''; Inuktitut: '''ᐊᓛᓯᑲ''', ''Alaasika''; Inupiaq: '''''Alaasikaq'''''; Russian: '''Аляска''', ''Alyaska''; Tlingit: '''''Anáaski''''') is one of the fifty states of the [[United States of America]]. Together with Hawaii, it is one of only two non-contingous states that make up the US, bordering the northwestern end of Canada. It is also notable for featuring the highest Native American population in the country. In "[[Marianne and Luigeena]]", [[Marianne]] tells Luigi that [[Luigeena]] went to look for him and [[Mario]], but is yet to return, and decides to go look for her sister. As Marianne leaves, Luigi suggests for her to check Alaska, implying that he wants her to leave for a long time. Additionally, in [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|the SNES version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the state's largest city, Anchorage, is mentioned on the [[Globulator]].
'''Pastadena''' is a place that was briefly mentioned by [[Sam Shalam]] during the events of "[[Mario and the Red Baron Koopa]]". It is presumably a town located within the vicinity of [[Pasta Land]], and is named after [[Wikipedia:Pasadena, Calfornia|Pasadena, California]]. Sam Shalam mentioned Pastadena when he told Mario and Luigi that he recently received a spiffy [[Magic Carpet]] from a little old lady from Pastadena, referencing the song "'''[[Wikipedia:The Little Old Lady from Pasadena|The Little Old Lady from Pasadena]]'''".


===Albania===
==Plumpbelly Village==
'''{{wp|Albania}}''' (Albanian: '''''Shqipëri''''' / '''''Shqipëria''''') is a country located in the Balkans region of Southeast Europe. It is notable for the fact that it was the last country in Europe to abandon state communism during the {{wp|Revolutions of 1989}}, doing so almost three months after the dissolution of the Soviet Union itself. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the city of Vlorë (spelled in-game as "Vlore") is listed on the [[Globulator]].
'''Plumpbelly Village''' is a town on the Strudel Continent, possibly ruled by the Waffle Kingdom. It was the location of one of the pieces of the Marvelous Compass that Luigi retrieved during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. When Luigi arrived, the town was ruled by a two-headed snake named [[List of Implied Characters#Hizza|Hizza]], who demanded regular sacrifices of the village's women. Luigi offered to don a ceremonial chiffon bride's dress and go in place of the mayor's daughter, who was next up. [[Jerry]], the cherry-shaped Bob-omb, horrified by the sight of Luigi in a dress, followed him to try and stop him, but Hizza took Luigi into his lair. Luigi darted around the cave and made the snake eat itself, disappearing in a puff of smoke. After Luigi emerged, the mayor offered his daughter's hand in marriage. Luigi considered it, but that night, while staying in the village, he decided against it, convinced that Princess Eclair was his future bride, and sneaked out of the town. Jerry followed Luigi and [[Blooey]], making it his life mission to make sure that Luigi never dressed in drag again.


===Algeria===
==Pudding Continent==
'''{{wp|Algeria}}''' (Arabic: '''الجزائر''', ''al-Jazāʾir''; French: '''''Algérie'''''; Berber: '''ⴷⵣⴰⵢⴻⵔ''', ''Dzayer'') is a country in North Africa, located in the Maghreb region. It is notable for overseeing cross-communication between multiple ancient civilizations throughout its history, owed to its location beside the Mediterranean Sea. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the cities of Algiers and Constantine are mentioned on the [[Globulator]].
The '''Pudding Continent''' is a land only spoken of in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It was one of the many Lands who Luigi went to in his quest to save Princess Eclair. It is located in her kingdom Waffle Kingdom.


===Alps===
==Pudding Wonderland==
The '''{{wp|Alps}}''' (German: '''''Alpen'''''; French: '''''Alpes'''''; Italian: '''''Alpi'''''; Slovene: '''''Alpe''''')  are a great mountain range in Europe. They are mentioned in the game ''Mario is Missing!'' by a citizen of [[Rome]], who says that if Luigi brought Italian shoes from home, they could "climb the Alps for a peek of Rome."
[[File:Puddingwonderland.png|thumb|left|200px|Pudding Wonderland.]]
A concept art found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' depicts a world made of giant [[banana]]s, cherries, chocolate tubes, cake and cream with banana slices, called Pudding Wonderland. It never appears in the game, but slightly resembles the [[Golden Temple]].


The [[Swiss Cheese Alps]] from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Koopenstein]]" are named after the Alps.

'''{{wp|Angola}}''' (Kongo: '''''Ngola''''') is a country in southern Africa notable for being the second-biggest Lusophone country behind Brazil, in terms of both size and population. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the capital city, Luanda, is viewable on the [[Globulator]].


===Argentina===
==Rapturous Ruins==
'''{{wp|Argentina}}''' is a country in South America which occupies the majority of the continent's southern half. In ''Mario is Missing!'', Luigi visits the capital and {{wp|primate city}} of [[Buenos Aires]]; in [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version]], the [[Globulator]] additionally mentions the city of Bahía Blanca. Argentina is also one of several countries viewable on the [[Globe]] in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''.
'''Rapturous Ruins''' are some ruins that Luigi goes to during the events of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' in his mission, where he meets [[Cranberry]], the last of the [[Luff]]s and his partner [[Screamy]].


===Arizona===
==Rumblebump Volcano==
'''{{wp|Arizona}}''' (Navajo: '''''Hoozdo Hahoodzo'''''; O'odham: '''''Alĭ ṣonak''''') is one of the fifty [[United States of America]], notable for the sharp contrast between its arid southern half and its verdant northern one. In ''[[NBA Street V3]]'', Arizona serves as the home state for the {{wp|Phoenix Suns}}.
'''Rumblebump Volcano''' is a place Luigi visits in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' to retrieve a Marvelous Compass piece. He tells Mario that he met a giant stone-guardian with a weak spot at his head looking like a ruby, and that he threw his [[Blooper]] friend at it, which defeated the guardian. When Mario asks Blooey, though, he finds out that Luigi really missed and that the Blooper ended up in the magma.


===Armenia===
==Russia==
'''{{wp|Armenia}}''' (Armenian: '''Հայաստան''', ''Hayastan'') is a country in the Caucasus region of West Asia and a former constituent republic of the Soviet Union. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the nation is listed on the [[Globulator]], though no cities are viewable.
'''[[Wikipedia: Russia| Russia]]''' is a vast country located within both [[Europe]] and [[Asia]]. Its capital city is [[Moscow]].


===Azerbaijan===
In "[[Plumbers Academy]]", Russia was mentioned when [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] came to visit [[Brooklyn]]. In "[[Glasnuts]]", Mikhail Gorbachev paid a visit to [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]], so that he could learn how to make [[pizza]], and open his own franchise in Russia.
'''{{wp|Azerbaijan}}''' (Azerbaijani: '''''Azərbaycan''''') is a transcontinental country, located in both Eastern Europe and West Asia, and a former constituent republic of the Soviet Union. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the nation's capital city, Baku, is listed on the [[Globulator]].


===Bahrain===
==Scotland==
'''{{wp|Bahrain}}''' (Arabic: '''البحرين''', ''al-Baḥrayn'') is an island country in West Asia located off the coasts of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, notable for being the first Middle Eastern country to move away from oil exports as its primary source of revenue. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the Bahranian capital of Manama is viewable on the [[Globulator]].
'''[[Wikipedia:Scotland|Scotland]]''' is a country in Europe that makes up part of the United Kingdom. Luigi briefly mentioned Scotland during "[[Rowdy Roddy's Rotten Pipes]]", when he tried to convince [[Rowdy Roddy Piper]] that his broken bagpipes were actually an imported Scottish vacuum cleaner from the ficticious McBronx Vacuum Company.


===Bangladesh===
==Squirpia==
'''{{wp|Bangladesh}}''' (Bengali: '''বাংলাদেশ''', ''Bāṅlādēś'') is a country in South Asia notable for being one of the most densely populated nations in the world. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the capital city, Dhaka, is mentioned on the [[Globulator]].
'''Squirpia''' is a fallen kingdom mentioned in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Although Squirpia itself is never seen, two of its inhabitants ([[Squirpina XIV|the last of its queens]] and [[Squirp Korogaline Squirpina|her son]], to be specific) do indeed appear, although the queen is only given a cameo appearance in the form of a golden statue.


===Belarus===
Though little is known about Squirpia as a country, it did indeed have many plans revealed by Squirp Korogaline Squirpina (or "Squirps"), its aforementioned prince and the only Squirpian ever to get a direct appearance. Apparently, 1,500 years before the setting time of ''Super Paper Mario'', the land's queen Squirpina XIV existed as one of [[Tribe of Ancients]]' chosen protectors of the [[Pure Heart]]s, and she was therefore aware of the fact that [[Count Bleck]] would eventually attempt at destroying all worlds and dimensions with [[The Void]]. As such, she knew that she had to execute all means to protect her Pure Heart and decided to hand the mission of leading the [[Light Prognosticus]]'s heroes to the [[Whoa Zone]] (where she had hidden the Pure Heart she was in possession of) to her own son, the prince. In doing so, she placed a willing Squirp Korogaline Squirpina into a hibernation pod in which he sent off an "SOS" message for the next 1,500 years as Squirpia crumbled into the past. Eventually, [[Mario]] and his league of heroes answered this message and followed a vague Squirp Korogaline Squirpina (here claiming to be called "Squirps") all the way to the Whoa Zone, where he revealed the then-dead Squirpia's efforts and the backstories of both him and his mother before allowing Mario and friends to collect the Pure Heart.
'''{{wp|Belarus}}''' (Belarusian: '''Беларусь''', ''Byelarus''; Russian: '''Беларусь''', ''Belarus{{'}}'') is a country in Eastern Europe, located between Poland and Russia, and a former constituent republic of the Soviet Union. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the capital city, Minsk, is mentioned on the [[Globulator]].


===Belize===
As Squirpia is seemingly a dead kingdom, none of its old territories are ever named. However, it is possible that some of the regions of [[Outer Space]] explored by Mario, [[Peach]], and [[Bowser]] were once parts of the great land; it is especially likely that the Whoa Zone was built and controlled by the Squirpians for the aforementioned reasons of its golden statue of Squirpina XIV and the fact that Queen Squirpina chose the Whoa Zone as the place in which she hid her Pure Heart. It is also unknown if any of Squirpia's people survived their kingdom's demise or how the kingdom was destroyed. Finally, it is unknown what happened to Prince Squirps after ''Super Paper Mario'' or if the kingdom of Squirpia was ever to have any sort of future; returning to the Whoa Zone's final room after beating [[Super Dimentio]] and saving the universes will allow [[player]]s to see Squirps standing before the statue of his mother and telling her that he would one day restore Squirpia, although it is unknown if young Squirp Korogaline Squirpina will ever fulfill this ambition.
'''{{wp|Belize}}''' (Belizean Creole: '''''Bileez''''', Spanish: '''''Belice''''') is a country in Central America. It is notable for its vibrant coral reefs, for being the only Central American nation to not use Spanish as its official language (instead giving English this designation), and for being the only part of the region to be a member of the British Commonwealth. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the capital city, Belmopan, is listed on the [[Globulator]].


===Belgium===
==Star Realm==
'''{{wp|Belgium}}''' (Dutch: '''''België'''''; French: '''''Belgique'''''; German: '''''Belgien''''') is a country in northwestern Europe notable for being the ''de facto'' heart of the European Union, with its capital city, Brussels, hosting the organization's headquarters. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], Brussels is viewable on the [[Globulator]].
The '''Star Realm''' is an area briefly mentioned in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. It is talked of by the gate in the [[Star Shrine]] when he commands [[Luigi]] to get the [[Aurora Block]], something which is apparently very sought after (and even celebrated by) by the denizens of this mysterious place.


===Benin===
The Star Realm most likely includes the [[Star Shrine]], and may or may not include [[Star Hill]]. Other star-themed areas not seen in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' (such as the [[Star World]] and [[Star Road]]) could also make up the Star Realm, or it might be an individual area in itself.
'''{{wp|Benin}}''' (Fon: '''''Benɛ'''''; French: '''''Bénin'''''; Fula: '''''Benen''''') is a country in West Africa. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the nation is listed on the [[Globulator]], though no cities are viewable.


===Biafra===
==Strudel Continent==
'''{{wp|Biafra}}''' was a partially recognized country in West Africa which existed from 1967 to 1970, seceding from Nigeria and dissolving in the wake of the Nigerian Civil War. In ''[[King Koopa's Kool Kartoons]]'', [[Bowser|King Koopa]] jokingly asks an audience member "Where're you from? Biafra?!" Reportedly, this was an ad-lib made by actor [[Christopher Collins]] at a group of African-American children.<ref>{{cite|author=BetaGems Lost Media|date=August 12, 2023|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAuE3YLEbCY|title=1989 King Koopa's Kool Kartoons on Fox Kids Club, longlost Mario Bros show|publisher=YouTube|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20240805174110/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAuE3YLEbCY|accessdate=August 13, 2023}}</ref>
The '''Strudel Continent''' was the continent in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' that Mario's brother, Luigi had his simultaneous adventure on as Mario was saving the Princess. Princess Eclair is the supposed leader there.


===Bolivia===
==Tanzania==
'''{{wp|Bolivia}}''' (Aymara: '''''Wuliwya'''''; Guarani: '''''Mborivia'''''; Quechua: '''''Puliwya''''') is a country in South America. It is notable for being one of only two landlocked nations on the continent (together with Paraguay) and for its multiethnic population, reflected in its high volume of {{wp|Languages of Bolivia|officially recognized languages}} (37, including Spanish, with three others in consideration for ascension) and its use of {{wp|Wiphala|a secondary national flag}} to represent its indigenous population. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the cities of La Paz and Sucre are viewable on the [[Globulator]].
'''[[Wikipedia:Tanzania|Tanzania]]''' is a country in [[Africa]]. It was mentioned in the game ''Mario is Missing!'' as one of the three countries - besides Kenya and Ethiopia - to be "eagerly excavated" in order to solve the mystery where human beings first lived.


===Botswana===
==Toadland Yard==
'''{{wp|Botswana}}''' is a country in southern Africa notable for being the largest producer of natural diamonds in the world. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the cities of Francistown and Gaborone are mentioned on the [[Globulator]].
'''Toadland Yard''' is an implied police headquarters given a few rare mentions in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. As is with other implied things, little is known about Toadland Yard.


===Bhutan===
Toadland Yard is only heard of in the game's manual and [[Shroomlock]]'s character list description in-game. These mentions respectively describe Shroomlock as "with" and "of" Toadland Yard, suggesting that he works for the organization.
'''{{wp|Bhutan}}''' (Dzongkha: '''འབྲུག་ཡུལ''', ''Druk Yul'') is a country in South Asia, notable for the rich diversity of its wildlife. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the capital city, Thimphu, is viewable on the [[Globulator]].


===Brazil===
These two mentions leave much to be learned about Toadland Yard. As a matter of fact, it is possible that Toadland Yard is not even a police group at all, but its namesake seems to confirm the fact that it is: Toadland Yard, in addition to having a namesake in "[[Toad (species)|Toad]]", was named after Scotland Yard (whose actual name is "New Scotland Yard"), a British police headquarters. Scotland Yard is famous for being included in several fictional crime stories such as those involving the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, who happens to be Shroomlock's namesake. (Interestingly, in Sherlock Holmes stories involving Scotland Yard, Holmes, unlike Shroomlock, did not work for the headquarters; instead, he often teamed up or even competed with its operatives.)
'''{{wp|Brazil}}''' (Portuguese: '''''Brasil''''') is a country in South America, known for being one of the world's largest countries by both land mass (fifth-biggest) and population (seventh most populous); it is also famous for containing a significant chunk of the Amazon rain forest, the largest of its kind in the world, and for featuring the largest Japanese diaspora community on Earth. In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the episode "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]" sees [[Iggy Koopa|Hop Koopa]] turn the Amazon (presumably including the portions in Brazil) into a parking lot. Meanwhile, in the [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]] and [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]] versions of ''Mario is Missing!'', Luigi visits the city of [[Rio de Janeiro]]; the latter version of the game additionally lists Belem, Porto Alegre, and São Paulo on the [[Globulator]].


Rio de Janerio also serves as the setting for ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''.
==Transylvania==
[[Wikipedia:Transylvania|Transylvania]] is a region in Romania. It was mentioned in two different episodes in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', more so in one then the other.


===The Bronx===
In [[Count Koopula]], while it was never directly mentioned, a location called [[Turtlevania]] appeared, which is an obvious portmanteau of Transylvania and turtle.
'''{{wp|The Bronx}}''' is a borough of [[New York]], [[United States of America|United States]]. It is referenced multiple times in the ''Super Mario'' TV series.


It is referenced twice in the ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' live-action segments. In "[[Day of the Orphan]]", while waiting for [[Edison]] to make his move in a game of chess, Luigi tries to hurry his friend up by reminding him of a blackout in the Bronx that he should tend. In "[[Rowdy Roddy's Rotten Pipes]]", Luigi tries to convince [[Rowdy Roddy Piper]] that his reformatted bagpipes are actually a vacuum cleaner manufactured by the fictitious "McBronx Vacuum Company", which he claims is from Scotland. Additionally, in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Recycled Koopa]]", after turning all the citizens of [[Brooklyn]] into [[Koopa Zombie]]s, [[Bowser|King Koopa]] announces he will soon conquer the Bronx, along with [[#Manhattan|Manhattan]] and [[#Queens|Queens]], with his [[Crud Cannon]].
In [[The Mario Monster Mash]], [[Dr. Frankenstein]] comes from Transylvania to [[Brooklyn]] under the alias Frank N. Stein and becomes Mario and Luigi's next-door neighbour, Transylvania being shown on one of Frankenstein's moving boxes.


The Bronx is mentioned in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series in reference to the Bronx-native [[Little Mac]].
==Ualeh==
Planet '''Ualeh''' is where [[KKDU]], an alien appearing in the ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Sag niemals Holerö!]]", comes from. After invading Earth and being defeated at the end of the story, he goes back to Ualeh.


[[Mario (film character)|Mario]] briefly references the Bronx when walking through [[Dinohattan]] for the first time in the live-action ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' movie, where he replies to [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi]]'s speculation that they ended up in a coma and woke up in Brooklyn of the future that they may have even arrived at "the Bronx of today" in regards to the dystopic locale. The Bronx also gets a brief reference in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' during the brothers' [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing]] commercial when Mario flicks a toy van across a map to show the range of their business from Brooklyn to Queens. The toy van briefly veers off-course towards the Bronx on the map, but Luigi picks it up and readjusts its course.
==Vanda==
'''Vanda''' is an alternate dimension mentioned in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.  [[Culex]], an optional [[Bosses|boss]] in the game, is a Dark Knight from this dimension.  Culex is battled in an interdimensional gateway that connects [[Mushroom Universe|Mario's dimension]] to Vanda. However, after Mario defeats Culex, the door in [[Monstro Town]] that leads to the gateway disappears, replaced with a solid rock wall.


===Brunei===
==Waffle Kingdom==
'''{{wp|Brunei}}''' (Jawi: '''بروني''', ''Brunei'') is a country in Southeast Asia. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], the nation is listed on the [[Globulator]], though no cities are viewable.
The '''Waffle Kingdom''' is a far away land that [[Luigi]] visits during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The Waffle Kingdom is ruled by [[List of Implied Characters#Princess Eclair|Princess Eclair]] and her cabinet.


===Bulgaria===
After Mario leaves [[Mario's Pad|home]] to find [[Peach]] in the town of [[Rogueport]], Luigi is once again left alone. However, a letter arrives for the Mario bros. which Luigi can't resist to peek at. The letter was from [[Crepe]], the Minister of the Waffle Kingdom. According to the letter, the lovely Princess Éclair was kidnapped by the vile [[Chestnut King]] and the kingdom needed assistance from the great hero Mario. However, since Mario was not around, Luigi went in his place.
'''{{wp|Bulgaria}}''' (Bulgarian: '''България''', ''Bŭlgariya'') is a country in Southeast Europe, notable for inventing the {{wp|Cyrillic script}} used throughout a significant chunk of Eurasia. In ''Mario is Missing!'', the capital city, Sofia, is viewable on the [[Globulator]], with [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version]] further listing Plovdiv.


===Burkina Faso===
When Luigi arrives in the Waffle Kingdom, he is given a piece of the [[List of Implied Items#Marvelous Compass|Marvelous Compass]]. If Luigi could find all the pieces, he would be able to track down Princess Eclair. After much toil and trouble (and quite a bit of luck), Luigi collects all the pieces, and heads to Hatesong Tower to find the princess. However, he actually finds the evil Chestnut King, and the two engage in an epic battle. Ultimately Princess Éclair  appears and interrupts the battle. Apparently, the princess and the Chestnut King were lovers but the king was transformed into a monster by Minister Crepe, who was in fact a dark sorcerer.
