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.

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.

===Squirpia===
'''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.

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.

Shroomlock says "It's Shroomlock, from Toadland Yard," whenever a quest features him.

Toadland Yard, in addition to having a namesake in "[[Toad (species)|Toad]]," is 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. (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.)

===Ualeh===
Planet '''Ualeh''' is where [[KKDU]], an alien appearing in the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|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. Due to KKDU being based off of {{wp|Cthulhu}}, Ualeh is probably a play on {{wp|R'lyeh}}, the home of Cthulhu.

===Utan island===
'''Utan island''' is a location briefly mentioned on [[Lanky Kong]]'s profile on the German official ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' website.

"Utan" is also directly from the species of ape "orangutan."

===Waffle Kingdom===
[[File:PMTTYD Talking to Luigi.png|thumb|Luigi mentioning the Waffle Kingdom]]
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.

After Mario leaves [[Mario Bros.' House|home]] to find [[Princess Peach]] in the town of [[Rogueport]], Luigi is once again left alone. However, a letter arrives for the Mario Bros., which Luigi cannot resist to peek at. The letter was from [[List of implied characters#Minister Crepe|Minister Crepe]], the Minister of the Waffle Kingdom. According to the letter, the lovely Princess Eclair was kidnapped by the [[Goomboss#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Chestnut King]] and the kingdom needed assistance from the great hero Mario. However, since Mario was not around, Luigi went in his place.

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==
Locations that actually exist on [[Earth]], or that originate in real mythology rather than being original to the ''Super Mario'' franchise. This list excludes locations that have solely been mentioned on <i>[[Mario is Missing!]]</i>'s [[Globulator]].

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.

===Alaska===
'''{{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]].

===Biafra===
'''{{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=youtube.com/watch?v=MAuE3YLEbCY|title=1989 King Koopa's Kool Kartoons on Fox Kids Club, longlost Mario Bros show|publisher=YouTube|archive=web.archive.org/web/20240805174110/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAuE3YLEbCY|accessdate=August 13, 2023}}</ref>

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''.

===The Bronx===
'''{{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]].

The Bronx is mentioned in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series in reference to the Bronx-native [[Little Mac]].

[[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.


===Byzantine Empire===
The '''{{wp|Byzantine Empire}}''' (Latin: '''''Imperium Byzantinum'''''; Greek: '''Βυζαντινή Αυτοκρατορία''', ''Vyzantiní Aftokratoría'') was, as the name implies, an empire which existed from the division of the Roman Empire in 395 to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. At its height in 555, it spanned most of the original Roman Empire's former territory in the Mediterranean. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], a policewoman in [[Istanbul]] notes how the city was previously the capital of both the Byzantine and Ottoman empires.

===California===
'''{{wp|California}}''' is one of the fifty states of the [[United States of America]]. It is notable for its arid climate and for being a major cultural hub in the US. The cities of [[San Francisco]] and [[Los Angeles Laps|Los Angeles]] (including [[Hollywood]]) are located there. [[Marilyn (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!)|Marilyn]]'s [[List of implied characters#Uncle Troy|Uncle Troy]] is known to live somewhere in California. Additionally, in [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], Los Angeles is viewable on the [[Globulator]].

Furthermore, in ''[[NBA Street V3]]'', California is the home state of the {{wp|Golden State Warriors}}, the {{wp|Los Angeles Clippers|LA Clippers}}, the {{wp|Los Angeles Lakers|LA Lakers}}, and the {{wp|Sacramento Kings}}.


===Canada===
'''{{wp|Canada}}''' (Inuktitut: '''ᑲᓇᑕ''', ''Kanata''; Cree: '''''Kānatā''''') is a large country in the northernmost part of North America, located directly north of the contingent [[United States of America]] and east of the non-contingent US state of Alaska. While the country as a whole does not directly appear in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, it is obliquely represented on multiple occasions.

In ''Mario is Missing!'', Luigi visits one of two different settings depending on the version: in [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|the NES version]], Luigi visits [[Montreal]] (which is merely listed on the [[Globulator]] in the [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]] and [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]] versions), while in the PC version, he visits [[Toronto]]. [[Vancouver]] is also listed on the [[Globulator]], with the PC version further mentioning Calgary, Ottawa, and Winnipeg.

Vancouver makes multiple other appearances in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' is set in the city, which hosted the real-life {{wp|2010 Winter Olympics}}. Meanwhile, in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', it serves as not only the namesake for the [[Vancouver Tour]], but also the basis of the three [[Tour Vancouver Velocity|Vancouver Velocity]] courses. Vancouver Velocity additionally appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]''.

Furthermore, in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Canada appears as one of several countries that the player can view on the [[Globe]], and in ''[[NBA Street V3]]'', it is the home country of the {{wp|Toronto Raptors}}.

===Canberra===
'''{{wp|Canberra}}''' is the capital city of [[Australia]]. When Luigi travels to [[Sydney]] in ''Mario is Missing!'', he meets a businesswoman who tells him that although Sydney is Australia's oldest and largest city, Canberra is its capital.


===China===
'''{{wp|China}}''' (Chinese: '''中國''' (Traditional) / '''中国''' (Simplified); Pinyin: ''Zhōngguó''; Jyutping: ''Zung1gwok3''; Wade–Giles: ''Chung-kuo''; Yale: ''Jūnggwó'' (Mandarin) / ''Jùnggwok'' / ''Jūnggwok'' (Cantonese)) is a country in East Asia. It is best known as the world's oldest continuous civilization, having emerged during the Paleolithic era and remaining intact despite numerous changes in government and territorial extent. In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Roy Koopa|Bully Koopa]] vandalizes the country's most famous landmark, the [[Great Wall of China]], on orders from King Koopa.

China is also mentioned in two entries of the ''[[Mario Discovery Series]]''. In ''Mario is Missing!'', Luigi visits the Chinese capital of [[Beijing]]; in [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version]], the [[Globulator]] additionally mentions the cities of Guangzhou, Lhasa, and Shanghai. Meanwhile, in ''Mario's Time Machine'', Mario visits the [[Gobi Desert]] (which spans both China and Mongolia), learns about the cities of [[Cambuluc]] and [[Luoyang]], and makes his acquaintance with one of China's emperors, [[Kublai Khan]].

In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', China is one of several countries viewable on the [[Globe]]. Furthermore, both the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|Wii]] and [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|DS]] versions of the first ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' are set in Beijing, the host city for the real-world {{wp|2008 Summer Olympics}} (which the game was released to coincide with).

Additionally, in ''[[60-Byō Challenge! Luigi o Sukue!!]]'', China is one of the incorrect answers for the question "What country issued postage stamps for the first time in the world?"

===Colorado===
'''{{wp|Colorado}}''' is one of the fifty [[United States of America]], notable for its geographic diversity and high standards of living. In ''[[NBA Street V3]]'', Colorado serves as the home state for the {{wp|Denver Nuggets}}.

===East Germany===
'''{{wp|East Germany}}''' (German: '''''Ostdeutschland'''''; Russian: '''Восточная Германия''', ''Vostochnaya Germaniya''; Sorbian: '''''Němska Šěrjowa''''' (Upper) / '''''Němska Štwórna''''' (Lower)) was a country which, per its name, administered the eastern states of the region of [[Germany]] from 1949 until 1990, when it was absorbed into {{wp|West Germany}}. While West Germany technically makes explicit appearances in the ''Super Mario'' franchise (due to the fact that the reunified Germany is officially an enlargement of it), its Eastern Bloc counterpart only obliquely appears through allusions and references. In ''Mario is Missing!'', Luigi visits the former East German capital (and present-day reunified German capital), [[Berlin]], with a pamphlet on the [[Berlin Wall]] mentioning the country. Meanwhile, in [[Mario's Time Machine (Nintendo Entertainment System)|the NES version of ''Mario's Time Machine'']], East Germany is alluded to when Mario helps the residents of Berlin recover a [[Sledgehammer]] needed to {{wp|Fall of the Berlin Wall|tear down the wall}}.

===Ethiopia===
'''{{wp|Ethiopia}}''' (Amharic: '''ኢትዮጵያ''', ''Ītiyop'iya''; Oromo: '''''Itiyoophiyaa'''''; Somali: '''''Itoobiya'''''; Wolayta: '''''Toophphiyaa'''''; Tigrinya: '''ኢትዮጵያ''', ''Ítiyop'iya''; Afar: '''''Itiyoppiya''''') is a country in [[Africa]]. Its capital city is [[#Addis Ababa|Addis Ababa]], which is mentioned on the [[Globulator]]. It is mentioned in the game ''Mario is Missing!'' as one of three countries (the others being Kenya and [[#Tanzania|Tanzania]]) to be "eagerly excavated" in order to solve the mystery of where human beings first lived. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version]], the Globulator additionally lists Asmara; while this was technically correct at the time of the MS-DOS version's release, it was already claimed by {{wp|Eritrea}}, which {{wp|1993 Eritrean independence referendum|formalized}} its independence from Ethiopia several months later. The subsequent ''CD-ROM Deluxe'' version still incorrectly lists Asmara as Ethiopian rather than Eritrean.

===Everglades===
The '''{{wp|Everglades}}''' (Mikasuki: '''''Pahokee''''') are subtropical wetlands located in Florida, USA. They are mentioned by [[Donkey Kong]] in the second song of the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'']] episode "[[Four Weddings and a Coconut]]".

===Florida===
