The '''Mushroom World''' is an area with eight countries in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The [[Mushroom Kingdom]] serves as a gateway to these lands. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopalings]] have taken over the other seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World. They stole the [[Magic Wand]]s of the [[kings]] of each domain and transformed them into various creatures. While [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] eventually defeat them and restore the kings to normal, Bowser himself returns to the Mushroom Kingdom in their absence and kidnaps [[Princess Peach]] once again. He is later thwarted in [[Dark Land|his own territory]].

While the Mushroom World originally seemed to exclude the Mushroom Kingdom,<ref>{{cite|language=en|quote=However, the Mushroom Kingdom forms an entrance to the Mushroom World, a place where not all is well.|date=2003|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=21}}</ref> later uses of the term apparently count Princess Peach's sovereignty as well. In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', it is stated during the ending that Mario and [[Yoshi]] departed from [[Jewelry Land]] to return to the Mushroom World, where the princess awaits them. Furthermore, "Mushroom World" is sometimes used to refer to the Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Paper Mario]]''; the kingdom went under that name in the original Japanese script, but the English localization substituted most instances with the more common Mushroom Kingdom to fit the context.<ref>{{cite|publisher=FC2.com|language=ja|url=hakuda2.web.fc2.com/wario/mario/4.html|title=マリオストーリーの攻略★|accessdate=August 7, 2024}}</ref> Similarly, the Japanese version of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] manual of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' uses "Mushroom World" to refer to Mario, Luigi, and Peach's homeland in a direct reference to ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', which was changed to "Mushroom Kingdom" in the official English localization.<ref>{{cite|url=www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~yamasai/story/s-supermarioworld.htm|title=スーパーマリオワールド|publisher=Biglobe|language=ja|accessdate=August 7, 2024}} A transcript of the Japanese ''Super Mario World'' manual showing the reuse of 「キノコワールド」 ''Kinoko Wārudo'' (Mushroom World) from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. The official English localization replaced it with "Mushroom Kingdom".</ref>
==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the Mushroom World is divided into eight lands, seven of them with individual kings that were usurped by the seven Koopalings, and the eighth land, [[Dark Land]], being Bowser's home domain and the location of [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]]. The [[Warp Zone]] is considered World 9 in the game, but it is not confirmed to be an official part of the Mushroom World. Likewise, it is unknown where [[World-e]] is located.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
The back of the ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' Volume 1 DVD box mentions that Mario and Luigi had been transported into the Mushroom World from [[Brooklyn]].<ref>{{cite|language=en|quote=And if that weren't enough, each episode also contained live-action segments featuring Mario and Luigi running their Brooklyn plumbing shop - all before they were flushed down a drainpipe into the Mushroom World.|title=Back of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' Volume 1 box}}</ref> However, as shown on other home video release boxes, this was mistaken for the Mushroom Kingdom, which is also alternatively referred to as "Mushroomland" in the cartoon itself and related comic series.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
The Mushroom World is the main setting in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
