{{articleabout|the Mushroom Kingdom, a political entity ruled by Princess Peach|other meanings|[[Mushroom Kingdom (disambiguation)]]}}

The '''Mushroom Kingdom''' is the one of the largest [[Monarchy|kingdoms]] of [[Mushroom World]]. Under the rule of [[Princess Peach|Princess Peach Toadstool]], the kingdom has enjoyed and endured both a peaceful and traumatic existence. The former is largely attributed to Peach's ability to rule and the general good-natured feeling that permeates Mushroom Kingdom society.  The latter is largely attributed to the [[Koopa Troop]], a group of turtles who reign over the badlands known as the [[Dark Land]], and their leader, [[Bowser]]. The Mushroom Kingdom shares its southwestern border with the [[Beanbean Kingdom]].

It should be noted that there is disparity between the kingdom's multiple appearances regarding the exact layout of certain towns and locations.  However, the Mushroom Kingdom comprises many recurring landscapes, such as plains, deserts, islands, forests, mountains, snowy areas, wastelands and others.

==History==
===Shroob Invasion===
[[Image:Partners01.GIF|thumb|left|150px|Princess Peach arrives from the future, as told to the Mario Bros. by [[Toadiko]].]]
{{main|Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time}}
Years ago, the Mushroom Kingdom was invaded and conquered by a race of aliens known as the [[Shroob]]s. Growing tired of life on the toxic, barren [[Planet Shroob]], they discovered the Mushroom Kingdom, and set out to conquer it using their expansive military.

One of the first targets was [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. The Shroobs began to set base there after a brief encounter with the future Princess Peach, who had traveled back in time via a [[Time Machine]]. The princess trapped the [[Elder Princess Shroob]] inside the [[Cobalt Star]], which powered the machine. Peach then destroyed the artifact and spread the [[Cobalt Shards|Cobalt Star Shards]] throughout the kingdom. The rest of the invasion and the search for the Shards was carried out by [[Princess Shroob]], the elder's younger sister.

As the Shroob invasion spread, the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom fled, leaving entire towns, such as Toad Town, nearly desolate. A number of unfortunate Toads were captured and brought to [[Toadwood Forest]], where their [[vim]] was sucked out of them to create fuel for the Shroobs' war fleet of [[Shroob UFO]]s.

The Mushroom Kingdom was saved by Mario and Luigi, then [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], and their future selves. During the storm of [[Shroob Castle]], previously known as Princess Peach's Castle, the younger Princess Shroob was defeated. The Elder Princess Shroob escaped from the Cobalt Star as a result of the reunion of the Shards, was defeated, and then was taken to the future in the form of a purple [[Mushroom]]. A stream of baby tears came through the [[Time Holes]] from the future and destroyed the [[Shroobified|handywork]] of the Shroobs, returning the kingdom and its inhabitants to their previous state.  However, the physical destruction remained.  The kingdom began reconstruction, finishing at a later date.

===Koopa Kingdom Attack===
[[image:Smblevel.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Mario advances towards one of the castles.]]
{{main|Super Mario Bros.}}
Many years after the Shroob invasion, King Bowser led his first devastating attack against the Mushroom Kingdom. Using dark Koopa magic, Bowser transformed many of the kingdom's citizens into [[block|blocks]], [[mushroom]]s, and other objects. However, when Bowser discovered that Princess Peach had the power to undo his curse on the citizens, he captured her and seven of her closest [[Mushroom Retainer|Mushroom Retainers]], imprisoning them in eight castles scattered across the kingdom.

Mario and Luigi soon heard of the Mushroom Kingdom's plight. Quickly, they came to the kingdom and began to fight back on behalf of the incapacitated citizens. They traveled to each of the castles, finding a [[False Bowser]] guarding each, and that "the Princess is in another castle," as the Mushroom Retainers they rescued repeatedly told them. Finally, in the eighth castle, they defeated Bowser and rescued the Princess. Bowser and his army fled from the Mushroom Kingdom.

===Bowser's Second Attempt===
{{main|Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels}}
Wasting no time after his defeat, Bowser again invaded and conquered the Mushroom Kingdom using dark Koopa magic.  He also kidnapped Princess Peach and hid her deep inside one of his castles. While many of his troops employed similar tactics as before, several new strategies were used. Some [[Blooper|Bloobers]] were instructed to fly in the sky and the [[Piranha Plant|Piranha Plants]] spent hardly anytime hiding in their Warp Pipes.  [[Poison Mushroom|Poison Mushrooms]] were used as well. However, against all odds, Mario and Luigi were able to rescue the Princess once more.

===Mushroom World Invasion===
{{main|Super Mario Bros. 3}}
[[Image:SMA4_airship.jpg|thumb|Right|Mario on one of the Koopaling's many [[Airships]].]]
Bowser's next attack on the Mushroom Kingdom was part of a much larger scheme.  With the help of the [[Koopalings]], the Koopa Troop's power spread throughout the seven kingdoms of the [[Mushroom World]].  Luring Mario and Luigi away from the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser was able to again kidnap the Princess and take her to his home in [[Dark Land]]. The plumbers were able to save her from her fate once more and defeat the Koopa King, saving the Mushroom World from his reign.

=== Viral Infestation ===
{{main|Dr. Mario (game)}}
Just when the kingdom’s problems seemed to be over, an epidemic broke out among its citizens.  The microscopic [[virus|viruses]] were responsible for the infection.  In response, Mario assumed the title [[Dr. Mario (character)|Dr. Mario]] and worked to develop a cure: the [[Megavitamin]].  While the process was effective, it was slow.  Dr. Mario needed to place viruses in vials before dropping the proper Megavitamin on each virus, a very painstaking process.  However, his efforts were fruitful, and the Mushroom Kingdom regained its good health.

===Super Mario Kart Tournament===
{{main|Super Mario Kart}}
Named after the Mario, the first Mario Kart races were not witnessed by many citizens firsthand.  However, it served to popularize the karting sport.  Later tournaments proved immensely popular.  Following Bowser’s kidnapping of Princess Peach in Dinosaur Land, the tournament doubled as an act of diplomacy as Bowser was allowed to race.  The races took place in [[Dinosaur Land]], the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser’s Castle, [[Rainbow Road]] and possibly other locations.

===Smithy Gang Attack===
[[Image:Smrpg mushroomkingdom.gif|thumb|left|The Mushroom Kingdom as portrayed on the world map.]]
{{main|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}
Shortly after the races, Bowser again kidnapped Princess Peach.  By change, the [[Smithy Gang]], a vicious group of mechanical villains from another dimension, warped the giant sword, [[Exor]], into the Mushroom Kingdom's dimension shortly afterwards.  Landing in [[Bowser's Keep]] where the princess was kept, they inadvertently saved the princess.  However, she could not easily return to the Mushroom Kingdom, and was cut off. In this state, the Mushroom [[Chancellor]] took temporary control as Mario began a counter-attack. The mechanical monster [[Mack]] conquered the Mushroom Kingdom, but Mario, with [[Mallow]]'s help, was able to liberate the kingdom. Mario and Mallow eventually joined up with [[Geno]], Princess Toadstool, and Bowser. This party traveled across the planet, liberating other countries, and reclaiming the scattered [[Star Piece|Star Pieces]]. Eventually, Mario and his comrades gained access to the futuristic [[Factory]] located in a different dimension.  They stormed the factory and cornered [[Smithy]], the leader of the gang.  After destroying Smithy and returning to the Mushroom World, Mario and friends saw Exor dissolved into nothingness, breaking the link between the two dimensions and leaving the Mushroom Kingdom safe from future attacks by the gang.

===Assault on Peach's Castle===
[[Image:Princess_Peach's_Castle_Super_Mario_64.JPG|thumb|250px|right|As seen in [[Lakitu|Lakitu's]] recording of the events, Princess Peach's Castle looked normal from the outside.]]
{{main|Super Mario 64}}
After helping Mario and Princess Toadstool save the Mushroom Kingdom from Smithy’s gang, and racing in the first Mario Kart tourney, it was unclear as to what Bowser’s intentions would be in the not-too-distant future. However, this period of hope was ended when the Koopa Troop directly invaded Princess Peach's Castle, isolating it from the rest of the kingdom. Once inside, the Koopas began an elaborate plan to ensure their success. Utilizing the Power Stars that provided energy to the castle, Bowser powered up his troops and entrusted the Stars to them. Each Star was hidden in an awkward location or in the hands of a boss. The majority of the Power Stars were hidden in worlds accessible through special paintings found in the castle.  Trapped inside the castle's walls, Peach and the [[Toad (species)|Toads]] could not send news of the attack to the outside world, but by coincidence Princess Peach had sent Mario an invitation to the castle that very same day. With the help of several Toads and hints left by Princess Peach, Mario obtained all 120 Power Stars and rescued Princess Peach.

===Mario Kart 64 Tournament===
{{main|Mario Kart 64}}
As evidenced by the crowds that gathered in the arena-based racetracks, the second Mario Kart Tournament proved much more popular.  Following Bowser’s first assault on Princess Peach’s Castle and Mario’s conflicts with [[Wario]], it again served as an olive branch.  The races took place in the Mushroom Kingdom, the Koopa Kingdom, Rainbow Road and possibly others.  Famous tracks include [[Yoshi Valley]].  A short road, several bridges and minor signs mark the only man made additions to the course.

===Lands Beyond the [[Warp Pipe]]===
{{main|Mario Party}}
What started out as a personal competition between Mario and his friends at a party evolved into a full-scale adventure.  When Mario invited a few of his closest friends to a party, an argument erupted over which of them was the [[Superstar]] of the Mushroom World.  [[Toad (character)|Toad]] decided that it would best be resolved through a contest to solve the many problems of the world.  Several of these problems belonged to the Mushroom Kingdom.

===Mario Golf Tournament===
{{main|Mario Golf}}
After the success of the Mario Kart tournaments, a golf tournament was held under Mario's name shortly afterward.  Many famous people took part in the tournament, such as Mario, Peach, and Bowser, showing skill previously unpublicized.  In addition, many new golfers, such as [[Charlie]] and [[Maple]], rose to fame through the tourney.  By this point in time, the possibility of a sporting event calming Bowser's ambitions was unbelievable, although it would be a long time before the Koopa tried again.

===The New Land===
{{main|Mario Party 2}}
Mario gathered his friends together to create a theme park for them to enjoy.  After viewing their work, the plumber named it [[Mario Land]], after himself.  Whether the others felt jealous or not, only Wario showed his feelings, destroying the front sign and replacing it with one that read "Wario Land."  The tranquility broke and a fight erupted over the name.  They were so absorbed by the argument that Bowser was able to pass by undetected and invade the land.

Witnessing this, Toad rushed towards the main gate and proposed that the gathering of heroes put aside their arguments and name the world after the one who defeated Bowser.  Utilizing the same competitive spirit they had to resolve the problems of the world previously, the group was able to drive Bowser out of the world, but not before Bowser had established a stronghold known was [[Bowser Land]].  Toad named the land after the hero or heroine who defeated Bowser.

===Mario Tennis Tournament===
{{main|Mario Tennis}}
After peace returned to the Mushroom Kingdom, a celebratory tennis tournament was held, named after the kingdom's hero, Mario.  Many new and old faces attended the tournament.  Even Bowser dared to show his face.  However, he made it clear that his intentions were friendly.  Additionally, the tourney lead to a great friendship between Peach and [[Princess Daisy]], the princess of [[Sarasaland]].

===Koopa Siege on Star Haven===
[[Image:Bowser_Castle_PM.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Taking no chances, Bowser stole Princess Peach's Castle, complete with Princess Peach and many guests.]]
{{main|Paper Mario}}
After another period of general tranquility, Bowser developed a new scheme to fulfill his dreams.  Tired of his wishes being ignored by the seven [[Star Spirits]], the granters of wishes, Bowser attacked [[Star Haven]], where their source of power, the [[Star Rod]] was kept.  He stole the Star Rod and kidnapped the Star Spirits into cards.  After spreading the spirits to remote locations of the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser used his new, unlimited powers to transport his castle directly beneath Princess Peach’s Castle and elevated both into the upper reaches of the [[Mushroom World]].  Bowser thwarted Mario’s attempts to rescue Princess Peach by turning himself invincible, and nearly killed Mario in the process, sending him hurtling to the earth.

After many long fights with Bowser’s expansive force, Mario and a new group of allies were able to rescue all of the Star Spirits.  The spirits granted Mario their failsafe against the Star Rod’s power, the [[Star Beam]], which could temporarily end the effects of the rod.  However, [[Kammy Koopa]] was able to render this useless with a special machine that powered up Bowser during Mario and his partners' siege on the castles. With the help of [[Twink]], a [[Star Kid]], Princess Peach was able to send her power to Mario and the Star Spirits. As a result, Mario was granted the [[Peach Beam]] and used it to destroy Bowser’s castle, sending Bowser and Kammy to the ground below. Using the rod, the spirits replaced Princess Peach’s Castle in Toad Town and returned to Star Haven.

===Millenium Star===
{{main|Mario Party 3}}
One [[Millennium Star]] is born every one thousand years, and this particular star landed in the Mushroom Kingdom.  Once there, the usual group of party-goers plus Daisy and [[Waluigi]] fought over it.  Eventually, the Millennium Star revealed itself to be a fake.  He had deceived them so that the true star could observe their true natures and accurately grant the title of Millennium Star to one of them.

==="Dr. Mario and the Cold Caper"===
{{main|Dr. Mario 64}}
While it was widely known that Dr. Mario had contained the Viruses, he had not eradicated them.  When Wario decided to steal Dr. Mario's remaining samples, the kingdom was threatened by another potential infection.  Chasing down Wario, the doctor’s adventure proved involved and extensive.  Finally, he recaptured the vials and contained the virus once again.

===Mario Kart: Super Circuit Tournament===
{{main|Mario Kart: Super Circuit}}
A longer, but less prominent tournament, Super Circuit tourney proved to be one of the most challenging.  Races took places in more exotic locations, such as [[Cheese Land]] and [[Ribbon Road]] among old favorites such as Bowser’s Castle.  This tournament also marked the last time Coins were used as a method of powering up karts and continued the use of [[Item Box|Item Boxes]] rather than [[? Panel]]s.  Additionally, the Super Mario Kart tourney’s race tracks were reused for five of the cups.

===King Boo Strikes===
{{main|Luigi's Mansion}}
When Mario was lured to a remote mansion filled with ghosts, [[King Boo]] kidnapped the plumber. With Luigi off saving his brother, the fate of the kingdom was questionable. Princess Peach was frantic as she feared for the worst. With the help of [[Professor Elvin Gadd]], Luigi was able to undo the damage caused by King Boo's Gang and eventually corner King Boo. However, the king counterattacked by sucking Luigi into a world beyond a painting of Bowser. Much like the paintings that Bowser had placed in Peach's castle, the world beyond was of questionable integrity. King Boo appeared to have possessed Bowser. However, Bowser had not died, and thus King Boo was operating a False Bowser. Luigi and E. Gadd were able to trap King Boo and his False Bowser inside a painting. Mario was safely rescued and the brothers to their home, ensuring the continued protection of the kingdom. E. Gadd went on to benefit the world with his inventions.

===The Birthday Celebration===
{{main|Mario Party 4}}
For a group celebration of Peach and her closest friends' birthdays, the [[Party Cube]] came to Princess Peach’s Castle.  Decked out for a party, a band of hosts presented the group with many challenges.  After the party, the Party Cube flew away from the hosts and disappeared.

===Toadstool Tour===
{{main|Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour}}
Another golfing tour, the Toadstool Tour's main difference from the original tour was its players' new abilities.  Now more advanced, the famous players were able to pull off even more advanced shots.  The downside to this change was that the lesser known golfers were pushed to the side.  The tour was made up of six different tournaments.

===Double Dash Tourney===
[[Image:Ss mkdd babies.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] made their racing debut.]]
{{main|Mario Kart: Double Dash!!}}
Following the Toadstool Tour, the Double Dash tournament made major changes to the classic formula set forth by its predecessors.  Participants were split into groups of two, with each group commanding one kart.  One participant drove the kart while the other used items.  While all of the famous racers competed, several people famous for other deeds joined the races.  These racers included Daisy, Waluigi, and [[Petey Piranha]]. This tournament proved to be one of the most prominent of the Mario Kart tournaments, with fans easily filling multiple stadiums.

===Cackletta's Attack===
{{main|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga}}
About one year after the racing tournament, Princess Peach met with a Goodwill Ambassador from the Beanbean Kingdom at her castle.  Much to the kingdom's surprise, the meeting was really an extensive plot to steal Princess Peach's voice.  The perpetrator was an evil witch named [[Cackletta]] with whom the Beanbean Kingdom had been grappling with for years.  Luckily, this attack had been forseen by [[Prince Peasly]] of the Beanbean Kingdom.  He wasted no time in alerting Peach of the situation.  A [[Birdo]] agreed to disguise herself as the princess and stand in for her on the day of the attack.  The Birdo's voice was stolen by the witch and replaced with an explosive vocabulary.  Every time she spoke, the Birdo would cause explosions in the castle.  Bowser arrived shortly after the attack to kidnap Peach, but finding the disguised Birdo, he instead lent Mario and Luigi a hand in defeating Cackletta.  The trio set off for the Beanbean Kingdom.

Yet, Peach could not notify her heroes of her true situation for security reasons.  As soon as she received word of Cackletta's death at the hands of the Mario Bros., she rushed out to greet them.  Almost immediately, she was kidnapped by [[Bowletta]], who was truly Bowser possessed by Cackletta's disembodied spirit.  After a long battle in the Beanbean Kingdom, the brothers were able to save the Peach and defeat Cackletta by destroying her spirit.  Bowser was saved in the process.

===Mini Mario Craze===
{{main|Mario vs. Donkey Kong}}
Deciding to cash-in on his popular image, Mario created the [[Mario Toy Company]] and released its first product, the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]].  This wind up toy proved to be phenomenally successful, with demand overwhelming supply.  As the company prepared a new shipment, [[Donkey Kong]] invaded the company factory and stole countless Mini Marios.  Mario ran after Donkey Kong and eventually reclaimed the entire shipment.

===The X-Nauts' Plot===
{{main|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
Princess Peach and her faithful ward [[Toadsworth]] decided to make a visit to [[Rougeport]] while on vacation.  While the idea appeared dangerous, as long as Toadsworth kept an eye on Peach, she was safe from trouble from the thugs of the town.  However, when Peach sneaked away one day for a bit of freedom, she was snapped up by the [[X-Naut|X-Nauts]].  Word on the street was that Peach had found the [[Magical Map]], an object the aliens had long sought.  Luckily, Peach had previously sent the map to [[Mario]], requesting that he come and help her look for the treasure marked.

When Mario arrived in Rougeport, he discovered what happened to the princess from various eye-witnesses.  With the map and the help of [[Goombella]] and [[Professor Frankly]], Mario discovered the [[Thousand-Year Door]] and realized that to find Princess Peach, he would need to track seven keys to the door.  These keys, the [[Crystal Stars]], were the treasures of the Magical Map.  After many adventures and gaining new partners, Mario learned the full story of the X-Nauts.  [[Sir Grodus]], their leader, had long planned to unlock the Thousand-Year and use the "cataclysm" locked inside to take over the world.  Still, this did not explain why they continued to hold Peach after questioning.  Tricking Mario into opening the door, Sir Grodus reached the cataclysm moments before the plumber and his friends.  The cataclysm that had been sealed away by the Crystal Shards was in actuality an apocalyptic [[demon]] known as the [[Shadow Queen]].  She returned to her former self by possessing Princess Peach, and proceeded to wreak havoc upon the scene.  Defeating Grodus, she turned her anger to Mario and the rest of the world.  Mario was able to defeat her after the Crystal Stars gathered positive energy from their hidden locations and returning it to the scene.  The light that resulted freed Peach from her prison momentarily, and she charged up Mario and his partners with her remaining power.

After these events, Rougeport and its surrounding areas remained the roughest part of the Mushroom Kingdom.  Yet, some peace had returned to the area, and hope had returned.

===Bowser's Galactic Empire===
{{main|Super Mario Galaxy}}
[[Image:Galaxytown.JPG|thumb|250px|left|A Star Festival in the public square]]
The Mushroom Kingdom celebrated the [[Star Festival]], where everyone collected [[Star Bit]]s. Princess Peach (with [[Luma]]) and her two Toad Guards watched over the Mushroom Kingdom as everyone celebrated the festival. However, soon, the Mushroom Kingdom was attacked by Bowser and his Airships. Using a large UFO, Bowser lifted Peach's Castle (with Peach and her Toads still inside) into space. 

Bowser's plans were to create a galactic empire to rule every single bit of the universe. However, Mario also found himself up into space, and with the help of [[Princess Rosalina]] and the Lumas, he was able to reach the center of the universe, where Bowser's planet was being created. Mario defeated Bowser, saved Princess Peach and was able to stop him from taking over the universe.
[[image:endingscene.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Welcome new galaxy!]]
However, the explosion of Bowser's Planet created a [[Black Hole]] which sucked every planet of the galaxy in, and destroyed everything. However, as Rosalina explained, the universe was just being recreated. Soon, Mario, Princess Peach and Bowser awoke near Princess Peach's Castle, and Mario then realized that the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as every planet in the galaxy, was recreated. Mario then welcomed the new galaxy by shouting "Welcome! Welcome new galaxy!"

===Mario Kart Wii Tourney===
{{main|Mario Kart Wii}}
[[Image:Mkwmariocircuit.png|thumb|Toad Town as it appears in ''Mario Kart Wii''.]]
Some time after Bowser's invasion of the Galaxy, the Mushroom Kingdom held yet another momentous racing event. The majority of the races took place inside the kingdom itself, such as in Toad Town, [[Peach Gardens|Peach's royal gardens]], and even through newly discovered regions of it, such as [[Koopa Cape]] and the canyons of [[Wario's Gold Mine]]. Once again the tournament spanned throughout other areas and kingdoms, such as [[Isle Delfino]] and possibly even [[Sarasaland]]. But this time the races even exceeded the [[Mushroom World]], and traveled into the galaxy. Rainbow Road appeared to take place far above the Mushroom World's atmosphere, and one of the races courses even appeared to take place in the [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]]. Racers ranged from the racing veterans such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi, but also marked the the racing debut of Rosalina, [[Dry Bowser]], and even [[Funky Kong]].

==Government==
The Mushroom Kingdom is a monarchy ruled by the [[Toadstool]] family. Currently, the ruler in power is [[Princess Peach Toadstool]].  While [[King Toadstool|King Toadstool's]] exact role in the government has never been confirmed, he ceased to rule after Bowser's first direct attack on the kingdom.  Yet, the fact that Princess Peach is not the queen may indicate that he still has political presence.

The [[Chancellor|Mushroom Chancellor]] remains in office for many years, allowing the royals to call on him for advice.  In addition to his duties as advisor, the Chancellor may temporarily rule when the royal in power is to be away for an extended period of time.  Princess Peach also employs many guards and attendants.

The kingdom's capital is [[Toad Town]]. Here, Princess Peach resides in a castle that is commonly referred to as [[Princess Peach's Castle]].  From here, Princess Peach takes care of her political duties, such as speaking with foreign ambassadors and holding parties.  This building doubles as  The castle interior and exterior have changed over time to reflect current needs.

Princess Peach keeps a hoard of [[Toad (species)|Toads]] guards at her castle, but there is no evidence of an extensive military controlled by the Toadstools.  During the Shroob Invasion, the Toadstools kept an extensive military, but it was quickly wiped out.  Whether this organization has resumed is unknown.  However, Mario, Luigi, and many other heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom have fought to save it and its princess countless times before.  The Mario Bros. show no signs of stopping this trend.  Currently, Princess Peach staffs and supports [[Toad Houses]] in major towns near Toad Town.

==Demographics==
The Mushroom Kingdom's population is very vast, consisting of hundreds of species. Most prevalent are Toads, [[Koopa Troopa|Koopas]], [[Goomba|Goombas]], [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Boo|Boos]]. Even though Princess Peach is [[human]], there are very few humans living in the Mushroom Kingdom.

While racism is not much of a problem in the kingdom, species tend to segregate themselves into different areas. For example, Toad Town's population is almost entirely made up of Toads, while [[Shiver City]] is inhabited by many [[Bumpty|Bumpties]].

==Currency==
[[Image:Coin.jpg|thumb|150px|The current design of the Mushroom Coin.]]
{{main|Coin}}
The Mushroom Kingdom primarily uses [[Coin|Coins]] for tender, referred to as Mushroom Coins in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. Coming in three varieties, [[Coin|Gold Coin]], [[Red Coin]] (worth two coins), and [[Blue Coin]] (worth five coins), Coins are often found scattered throughout the Kingdom for unknown reasons. The coin has undergone several changes throughout the years; the three most famous Coin designs are the the blank design, the star design, the and the most recent "1" design.

Compared to [[Beanbean Coin|Beanbean Coins]] from the Beanbean Kingdom, Coins are of little worth (their exact comparative worth is constantly fluctuating). It is unknown if this signifies a good economy in Beanbean or a bad one in the Mushroom Kingdom. It could also simply mean that the Mushroom Kingdom uses very small units of measurement compared to the Beanbean Kingdom in terms of currency.

Additionally, the [[Gold Bar|gold]] system featured in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' may additionally be used in the Mushroom Kingdom, although it is unconfirmed.

== In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' Series==
The Mushroom Kingdom has inspired several stages in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.  Two of these, called [[Mushroom Kingdom (stage)|Mushroom Kingdom]] and [[Mushroom Kingdom]] respectively, are based off of the kingdom as it appeared in the original ''Super Mario Bros.''  Despite its name, [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] is based off of [[Subcon]] as it appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.  All three of these stages feature 3-D versions of stage elemends, such as blocks and platforms, while any characters are portrayed as flat 2-D images.

''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' features [[Mushroomy Kingdom]].  This stage indicates that in the alternate world of ''Super Smash Bros.'', the Mushroom Kingdom has become run down as a result of the epic battles that have been fought there.  Familiar structures are now ruins and the entire world appears as a barren desert.  The stage depicts updated versions of either [[World 1-1 (SMB)|World 1-1]] and [[World 1-2 (SMB)|World 1-2]].

== Appearances in Other Media ==

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom, most commonly referred to as the "Mushroom Land", was a central plot point in the show; the Mushroom Kingdom was apparently under the influence of King Koopa in the show, and Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool spent the bulk of the series' episodes searching for someone or something that could free it from his grasp. King Koopa's hold on the Mushroom Kingdom was relinquished in one the last episodes of the show, "[[Flatbush Koopa]]".

''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' seemed to have combined both the Mushroom Kingdom and [[Grass Land]] into one location; in ''[[Super Mario World (TV series)|Super Mario World]]'', which took place in [[Dinosaur Land]] (renamed "Dinosaur World") the Mushroom Kingdom was only mentioned in the shows last episode, "[[Mama Luigi]]", which revealed King Koopa and his armies were successfully driven from it and the surrounding areas.

== Trivia ==

* The Mushroom Kingdom is almost always referred to with the word "the" in front of its name, although ''Super Mario RPG'' constantly referred to it simply as "Mushroom Kingdom" due to the fact that it was merely a small town area in that game.

+{{articleabout|the Mushroom Kingdom, a political entity ruled by Princess Peach|other meanings|[[Mushroom Kingdom (disambiguation)]]}}
-The '''Mushroom Kingdom''' is the primary setting of the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Its appearance varies from game to game, often coinciding with the genre. However, common characteristics of the kingdom that are shared across games are its tall, round hills, presence of floating objects such as [[? Block]]s and [[coin]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s, striped grasslands, and layered dirt. The kingdom is ruled by [[Princess Peach]] and the primary inhabitants are [[Toad (species)|Toads]].
-==History==
+The '''Mushroom Kingdom''' is the one of the largest [[Monarchy|kingdoms]] of [[Mushroom World]]. Under the rule of [[Princess Peach|Princess Peach Toadstool]], the kingdom has enjoyed and endured both a peaceful and traumatic existence. The former is largely attributed to Peach's ability to rule and the general good-natured feeling that permeates Mushroom Kingdom society.  The latter is largely attributed to the [[Koopa Troop]], a group of turtles who reign over the badlands known as the [[Dark Land]], and their leader, [[Bowser]]. The Mushroom Kingdom shares its southwestern border with the [[Beanbean Kingdom]].

+===Shroob Invasion===
-According to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''{{'}}s instruction booklet, the Mushroom Kingdom serves as the entrance to the [[Mushroom World]], where the main game takes place. ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' includes an opening cutscene that shows the interior of Peach's Castle.
+[[Image:Partners01.GIF|thumb|left|150px|Princess Peach arrives from the future, as told to the Mario Bros. by [[Toadiko]].]]
+{{main|Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time}}
+Years ago, the Mushroom Kingdom was invaded and conquered by a race of aliens known as the [[Shroob]]s. Growing tired of life on the toxic, barren [[Planet Shroob]], they discovered the Mushroom Kingdom, and set out to conquer it using their expansive military.
-====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
+One of the first targets was [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. The Shroobs began to set base there after a brief encounter with the future Princess Peach, who had traveled back in time via a [[Time Machine]]. The princess trapped the [[Elder Princess Shroob]] inside the [[Cobalt Star]], which powered the machine. Peach then destroyed the artifact and spread the [[Cobalt Shards|Cobalt Star Shards]] throughout the kingdom. The rest of the invasion and the search for the Shards was carried out by [[Princess Shroob]], the elder's younger sister.
-The Mushroom Kingdom is mentioned in the instruction booklet for ''[[Super Mario World]]'', which states that Mario and Luigi left for a vacation at [[Dinosaur Land]], the game's main setting, after saving the Mushroom World in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. The opening cutscene ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'' shows Mario and co. arriving at Dinosaur Land from the Mushroom Kingdom via hot air balloon.
-====''Super Mario 64''====
+As the Shroob invasion spread, the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom fled, leaving entire towns, such as Toad Town, nearly desolate. A number of unfortunate Toads were captured and brought to [[Toadwood Forest]], where their [[vim]] was sucked out of them to create fuel for the Shroobs' war fleet of [[Shroob UFO]]s.
-[[File:SM64 globe artwork.png|thumb|right|220px|The Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'']]
-In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', the locations were created by Bowser using the stolen [[Power Star]]s and can be accessed through [[Painting|paintings]] hung on the walls of Peach's Castle. The locations are as follows:
-*[[Bob-omb Battlefield]]
-*[[Whomp's Fortress]]
-*[[Jolly Roger Bay]]
-*[[Cool, Cool Mountain]]
-*[[Big Boo's Haunt]]
-*[[Hazy Maze Cave]]

-*[[Wet-Dry World]]
-*[[Tall, Tall Mountain]]
-*[[Tiny-Huge Island]]
-*[[Tick Tock Clock]]
-*[[Rainbow Ride]]
-====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
+The Mushroom Kingdom was saved by Mario and Luigi, then [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], and their future selves. During the storm of [[Shroob Castle]], previously known as Princess Peach's Castle, the younger Princess Shroob was defeated. The Elder Princess Shroob escaped from the Cobalt Star as a result of the reunion of the Shards, was defeated, and then was taken to the future in the form of a purple [[Mushroom]]. A stream of baby tears came through the [[Time Holes]] from the future and destroyed the [[Shroobified|handywork]] of the Shroobs, returning the kingdom and its inhabitants to their previous state.  However, the physical destruction remained.  The kingdom began reconstruction, finishing at a later date.
-The Mushroom Kingdom makes no appearance in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', although it is mentioned in the game's instruction booklet as a distant location from the [[Isle Delfino]], the game's main setting. This is evident by the fact Mario and company take an airplane to the island.

+Many years after the Shroob invasion, King Bowser led his first devastating attack against the Mushroom Kingdom. Using dark Koopa magic, Bowser transformed many of the kingdom's citizens into [[block|blocks]], [[mushroom]]s, and other objects. However, when Bowser discovered that Princess Peach had the power to undo his curse on the citizens, he captured her and seven of her closest [[Mushroom Retainer|Mushroom Retainers]], imprisoning them in eight castles scattered across the kingdom.

+Mario and Luigi soon heard of the Mushroom Kingdom's plight. Quickly, they came to the kingdom and began to fight back on behalf of the incapacitated citizens. They traveled to each of the castles, finding a [[False Bowser]] guarding each, and that "the Princess is in another castle," as the Mushroom Retainers they rescued repeatedly told them. Finally, in the eighth castle, they defeated Bowser and rescued the Princess. Bowser and his army fled from the Mushroom Kingdom.

+Wasting no time after his defeat, Bowser again invaded and conquered the Mushroom Kingdom using dark Koopa magic.  He also kidnapped Princess Peach and hid her deep inside one of his castles. While many of his troops employed similar tactics as before, several new strategies were used. Some [[Blooper|Bloobers]] were instructed to fly in the sky and the [[Piranha Plant|Piranha Plants]] spent hardly anytime hiding in their Warp Pipes.  [[Poison Mushroom|Poison Mushrooms]] were used as well. However, against all odds, Mario and Luigi were able to rescue the Princess once more.

+Bowser's next attack on the Mushroom Kingdom was part of a much larger scheme.  With the help of the [[Koopalings]], the Koopa Troop's power spread throughout the seven kingdoms of the [[Mushroom World]].  Luring Mario and Luigi away from the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser was able to again kidnap the Princess and take her to his home in [[Dark Land]]. The plumbers were able to save her from her fate once more and defeat the Koopa King, saving the Mushroom World from his reign.

+Just when the kingdom’s problems seemed to be over, an epidemic broke out among its citizens.  The microscopic [[virus|viruses]] were responsible for the infection.  In response, Mario assumed the title [[Dr. Mario (character)|Dr. Mario]] and worked to develop a cure: the [[Megavitamin]].  While the process was effective, it was slow.  Dr. Mario needed to place viruses in vials before dropping the proper Megavitamin on each virus, a very painstaking process.  However, his efforts were fruitful, and the Mushroom Kingdom regained its good health.

The races took place in [[Dinosaur Land]], the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser’s Castle, [[Rainbow Road]] and possibly other locations.

+Shortly after the races, Bowser again kidnapped Princess Peach.  By change, the [[Smithy Gang]], a vicious group of mechanical villains from another dimension, warped the giant sword, [[Exor]], into the Mushroom Kingdom's dimension shortly afterwards.  Landing in [[Bowser's Keep]] where the princess was kept, they inadvertently saved the princess.  However, she could not easily return to the Mushroom Kingdom, and was cut off. In this state, the Mushroom [[Chancellor]] took temporary control as Mario began a counter-attack. The mechanical monster [[Mack]] conquered the Mushroom Kingdom, but Mario, with [[Mallow]]'s help, was able to liberate the kingdom. Mario and Mallow eventually joined up with [[Geno]], Princess Toadstool, and Bowser. This party traveled across the planet, liberating other countries, and reclaiming the scattered [[Star Piece|Star Pieces]]. Eventually, Mario and his comrades gained access to the futuristic [[Factory]] located in a different dimension.  They stormed the factory and cornered [[Smithy]], the leader of the gang.  After destroying Smithy and returning to the Mushroom World, Mario and friends saw Exor dissolved into nothingness, breaking the link between the two dimensions and leaving the Mushroom Kingdom safe from future attacks by the gang.

+{{main|Super Mario 64}}
+After helping Mario and Princess Toadstool save the Mushroom Kingdom from Smithy’s gang, and racing in the first Mario Kart tourney, it was unclear as to what Bowser’s intentions would be in the not-too-distant future. However, this period of hope was ended when the Koopa Troop directly invaded Princess Peach's Castle, isolating it from the rest of the kingdom. Once inside, the Koopas began an elaborate plan to ensure their success. Utilizing the Power Stars that provided energy to the castle, Bowser powered up his troops and entrusted the Stars to them. Each Star was hidden in an awkward location or in the hands of a boss. The majority of the Power Stars were hidden in worlds accessible through special paintings found in the castle.  Trapped inside the castle's walls, Peach and the [[Toad (species)|Toads]] could not send news of the attack to the outside world, but by coincidence Princess Peach had sent Mario an invitation to the castle that very same day. With the help of several Toads and hints left by Princess Peach, Mario obtained all 120 Power Stars and rescued Princess Peach.

Peach's Castle is wrecked, and is replaced by a tent. Some [[Thwomp]]s were left in the area.
+As evidenced by the crowds that gathered in the arena-based racetracks, the second Mario Kart Tournament proved much more popular.  Following Bowser’s first assault on Princess Peach’s Castle and Mario’s conflicts with [[Wario]], it again served as an olive branch.  The races took place in the Mushroom Kingdom, the Koopa Kingdom, Rainbow Road and possibly others.  Famous tracks include [[Yoshi Valley]].  A short road, several bridges and minor signs mark the only man made additions to the course.
-When loaded, the game opens on an area with Peach's Tent, a replacement version of Peach's Castle. Below it is a coobblestone crossroad marked with Peach's emblem. Two Toads operate menus: one for the notifications menu and [[Jammin' Toad]] for the menu governing playing music from the device's library. A [[Gift Box]] contains items granted through events. This area is bordered on the north and east by forests and hills, and on the west and south by water. A passage to the east is blocked off by a lake.
+===Lands Beyond the [[Warp Pipe]]===
+{{main|Mario Party}}
+What started out as a personal competition between Mario and his friends at a party evolved into a full-scale adventure.  When Mario invited a few of his closest friends to a party, an argument erupted over which of them was the [[Superstar]] of the Mushroom World.  [[Toad (character)|Toad]] decided that it would best be resolved through a contest to solve the many problems of the world.  Several of these problems belonged to the Mushroom Kingdom.
-In Kingdom Builder, the player can purchase and place [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|buildings and decorations]] to create a custom version of the Mushroom Kingdom. Thwomps act as obstacles that restrict building placement, but the player can earn [[Hammer]]s to remove them.
+===Mario Golf Tournament===
+{{main|Mario Golf}}
+After the success of the Mario Kart tournaments, a golf tournament was held under Mario's name shortly afterward.  Many famous people took part in the tournament, such as Mario, Peach, and Bowser, showing skill previously unpublicized.  In addition, many new golfers, such as [[Charlie]] and [[Maple]], rose to fame through the tourney.  By this point in time, the possibility of a sporting event calming Bowser's ambitions was unbelievable, although it would be a long time before the Koopa tried again.
-In order to bring Toads back to the Mushroom Kingdom, players play the Toad Rally mode.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aivv_RNoM3s Apple Special Event, Apple. Sep 7, 2016.

Accessed Sep 4, 2024]</ref> With more Toads of each color, the player can purchase more kinds of buildings, including five Rainbow Bridges that each add an adjacent area to the kingdom. Acquiring Toads also gradually rebuilds Peach's Castle.
+===The New Land===
+{{main|Mario Party 2}}
+Mario gathered his friends together to create a theme park for them to enjoy.  After viewing their work, the plumber named it [[Mario Land]], after himself.  Whether the others felt jealous or not, only Wario showed his feelings, destroying the front sign and replacing it with one that read "Wario Land."  The tranquility broke and a fight erupted over the name.  They were so absorbed by the argument that Bowser was able to pass by undetected and invade the land.
-The Rainbow Bridges extend the kingdom in each direction. East and southeast of the castle is more of the same landmass.  West and southwest are two different landmasses located across the water. South is a set of seven islands in the water. One of these islands is large and has multiple places to position buildings, while another has a single place for a building.
+Witnessing this, Toad rushed towards the main gate and proposed that the gathering of heroes put aside their arguments and name the world after the one who defeated Bowser.  Utilizing the same competitive spirit they had to resolve the problems of the world previously, the group was able to drive Bowser out of the world, but not before Bowser had established a stronghold known was [[Bowser Land]].  Toad named the land after the hero or heroine who defeated Bowser.
-If Peach's Tent or Peach's Castle is tapped, the player can look at a framed photo of the kingdom's initial state, titled '''A Kingdom Past'''. There are zoning laws that prevent too many Toads from staying in the Mushroom Kingdom at the same time.<ref>{{cite|quote=Due to strict zoning rules, there is a limit to how many Toads can live in your kingdom at a time.

-The Mushroom Kingdom appears as a mushroom-shaped island in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It appears in the opening cutscene, where Mario, Peach and Bowser are above Peach's Castle, and is unlocked as a Kingdom after completing the main story of the game.
+After another period of general tranquility, Bowser developed a new scheme to fulfill his dreams.  Tired of his wishes being ignored by the seven [[Star Spirits]], the granters of wishes, Bowser attacked [[Star Haven]], where their source of power, the [[Star Rod]] was kept.  He stole the Star Rod and kidnapped the Star Spirits into cards.  After spreading the spirits to remote locations of the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser used his new, unlimited powers to transport his castle directly beneath Princess Peach’s Castle and elevated both into the upper reaches of the [[Mushroom World]].  Bowser thwarted Mario’s attempts to rescue Princess Peach by turning himself invincible, and nearly killed Mario in the process, sending him hurtling to the earth.

-====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
+After many long fights with Bowser’s expansive force, Mario and a new group of allies were able to rescue all of the Star Spirits.  The spirits granted Mario their failsafe against the Star Rod’s power, the [[Star Beam]], which could temporarily end the effects of the rod.  However, [[Kammy Koopa]] was able to render this useless with a special machine that powered up Bowser during Mario and his partners' siege on the castles. With the help of [[Twink]], a [[Star Kid]], Princess Peach was able to send her power to Mario and the Star Spirits. As a result, Mario was granted the [[Peach Beam]] and used it to destroy Bowser’s castle, sending Bowser and Kammy to the ground below. Using the rod, the spirits replaced Princess Peach’s Castle in Toad Town and returned to Star Haven.

-====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
+One [[Millennium Star]] is born every one thousand years, and this particular star landed in the Mushroom Kingdom.  Once there, the usual group of party-goers plus Daisy and [[Waluigi]] fought over it.  Eventually, the Millennium Star revealed itself to be a fake.  He had deceived them so that the true star could observe their true natures and accurately grant the title of Millennium Star to one of them.
-In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom, most commonly referred to as "'''Mushroomland'''," is a central plot point in the show; Mushroomland is apparently under the influence of King Koopa in the show. Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool spend the bulk of the series' episodes searching for someone or something that could free it from his grasp. Many regions of the Mushroom Kingdom in the series are inspired by locations from movies, fairy tales, books, and real-life.

+When Mario was lured to a remote mansion filled with ghosts, [[King Boo]] kidnapped the plumber. With Luigi off saving his brother, the fate of the kingdom was questionable. Princess Peach was frantic as she feared for the worst. With the help of [[Professor Elvin Gadd]], Luigi was able to undo the damage caused by King Boo's Gang and eventually corner King Boo. However, the king counterattacked by sucking Luigi into a world beyond a painting of Bowser. Much like the paintings that Bowser had placed in Peach's castle, the world beyond was of questionable integrity. King Boo appeared to have possessed Bowser. However, Bowser had not died, and thus King Boo was operating a False Bowser. Luigi and E. Gadd were able to trap King Boo and his False Bowser inside a painting. Mario was safely rescued and the brothers to their home, ensuring the continued protection of the kingdom. E. Gadd went on to benefit the world with his inventions.

+Another golfing tour, the Toadstool Tour's main difference from the original tour was its players' new abilities.  Now more advanced, the famous players were able to pull off even more advanced shots.  The downside to this change was that the lesser known golfers were pushed to the side.  The tour was made up of six different tournaments.

+About one year after the racing tournament, Princess Peach met with a Goodwill Ambassador from the Beanbean Kingdom at her castle.  Much to the kingdom's surprise, the meeting was really an extensive plot to steal Princess Peach's voice.  The perpetrator was an evil witch named [[Cackletta]] with whom the Beanbean Kingdom had been grappling with for years.  Luckily, this attack had been forseen by [[Prince Peasly]] of the Beanbean Kingdom.  He wasted no time in alerting Peach of the situation.  A [[Birdo]] agreed to disguise herself as the princess and stand in for her on the day of the attack.  The Birdo's voice was stolen by the witch and replaced with an explosive vocabulary.  Every time she spoke, the Birdo would cause explosions in the castle.  Bowser arrived shortly after the attack to kidnap Peach, but finding the disguised Birdo, he instead lent Mario and Luigi a hand in defeating Cackletta.  The trio set off for the Beanbean Kingdom.
-===''Mario Golf'' series===
+Yet, Peach could not notify her heroes of her true situation for security reasons.  As soon as she received word of Cackletta's death at the hands of the Mario Bros., she rushed out to greet them.  Almost immediately, she was kidnapped by [[Bowletta]], who was truly Bowser possessed by Cackletta's disembodied spirit.  After a long battle in the Beanbean Kingdom, the brothers were able to save the Peach and defeat Cackletta by destroying her spirit.  Bowser was saved in the process.

+When Mario arrived in Rougeport, he discovered what happened to the princess from various eye-witnesses.  With the map and the help of [[Goombella]] and [[Professor Frankly]], Mario discovered the [[Thousand-Year Door]] and realized that to find Princess Peach, he would need to track seven keys to the door.  These keys, the [[Crystal Stars]], were the treasures of the Magical Map.  After many adventures and gaining new partners, Mario learned the full story of the X-Nauts.  [[Sir Grodus]], their leader, had long planned to unlock the Thousand-Year and use the "cataclysm" locked inside to take over the world.  Still, this did not explain why they continued to hold Peach after questioning.  Tricking Mario into opening the door, Sir Grodus reached the cataclysm moments before the plumber and his friends.  The cataclysm that had been sealed away by the Crystal Shards was in actuality an apocalyptic [[demon]] known as the [[Shadow Queen]].  She returned to her former self by possessing Princess Peach, and proceeded to wreak havoc upon the scene.  Defeating Grodus, she turned her anger to Mario and the rest of the world.  Mario was able to defeat her after the Crystal Stars gathered positive energy from their hidden locations and returning it to the scene.  The light that resulted freed Peach from her prison momentarily, and she charged up Mario and his partners with her remaining power.

+While racism is not much of a problem in the kingdom, species tend to segregate themselves into different areas. For example, Toad Town's population is almost entirely made up of Toads, while [[Shiver City]] is inhabited by many [[Bumpty|Bumpties]].
-{{M&LPIT map}}
-In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', during Mario and Luigi's childhood, the Mushroom Kingdom is invaded by the Shroobs, so [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Peach]], [[Toadsworth the Younger]], and [[Baby Bowser]] (who had been trying to capture Baby Peach at the time) flee in the [[Koopa Cruiser]].
-In the present time, an event is held at Peach's Castle, where [[Princess Peach]], [[Toadiko]], and [[Toadbert]] travel to the past via [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s [[Prof. E. Gadd's time machine|time machine]], which is powered by the [[Cobalt Star]]. But when the device returns, it is in a ruined state and is occupied by [[Junior Shrooboid|a hostile alien]], forcing Mario and Luigi to use a newly formed [[time hole]] in the castle gardens to go to the past to find Peach.

It is unknown if this signifies a good economy in Beanbean or a bad one in the Mushroom Kingdom.

-The Mushroom Kingdom has inspired several stages in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. Two of these, both called [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom]] [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Kingdom]], are based off of the kingdom as it appeared in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', with usable [[Warp Pipe]]s and [[POW Block]]s in ''Super Smash Bros.'', and [[? Block]]s and [[Brick Block]]s in ''Melee''. Despite its name, [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] from ''Melee'' is based off of [[Subcon]] as it appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (specifically the depiction in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''). All three of these stages feature 3-D versions of stage elements, such as blocks and platforms, while any characters are portrayed as flat 2-D images. The Japanese names of them instead name them as "Ancient Kingdom" as a tongue-in-cheek reference to their source games' relative age.

-''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' features [[Mushroomy Kingdom]], or "Ancient-ish Kingdom" in Japanese.

Familiar structures are now old, worn-down ruins and the entire stage appears as a barren desert and cave.

-====''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''====
+In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom, most commonly referred to as the "Mushroom Land", was a central plot point in the show; the Mushroom Kingdom was apparently under the influence of King Koopa in the show, and Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool spent the bulk of the series' episodes searching for someone or something that could free it from his grasp. King Koopa's hold on the Mushroom Kingdom was relinquished in one the last episodes of the show, "[[Flatbush Koopa]]".
-The Mushroom Kingdom, specifically the [[Peach's Castle]] grounds, is the first area the player explores in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. It is completely inaccessible to explore afterwards.
