'''Mushroom World''' often refers to the eight countries from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The [[Mushroom Kingdom]] serves as a gateway to these lands. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Bowser|King 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 and kidnaps [[Princess Peach]] once again, but is thwarted in his own territory.

While the Mushroom World originally seemed to exclude the Mushroom Kingdom,<ref>"However, the Mushroom Kingdom forms an entrance to the Mushroom World, a place where not all is well." - ''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>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/wario/mario/4.html An example of this in a Japanese playthrough,] in which the player comments with a screenshot that Peach is the princess of the Mushroom World. (Retrieved April 29, 2014)</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'', however this was changed to "Mushroom Kingdom" in the official English localization.<ref>[http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~yamasai/story/s-supermarioworld.htm 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". (Retrieved April 29, 2014)</ref>

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the Mushroom World was 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 the ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]''-exclusive [[World-e]] is located.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
On the back of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' Volume 1 DVD, it is mentioned that Mario and Luigi had been transported into the Mushroom World from [[Brooklyn]].<ref>"''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.''" - 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.
