'''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, 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.
