'''Subcon''' (originally '''Muu''' and sometimes called '''Sub-Con'''; also known as '''Mushroom Kingdom II''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'') is a peaceful dream world of the [[Subcon (species)|Subcons]]. Initially believed to be Mario's dream, it is said to be part of a larger subconsciousness of the [[Mushroom World]]'s inhabitants.

====''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]====

Subcon is the main setting of the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where the world was first available. Subcon was once a peaceful place, until it was taken over by the tyrannical frog king [[Wart]] and his army. He then enslaved the inhabitants of Subcon to be his soldiers. Wart captured the Subcon fairies, the protectors of the realm and imprisoned them so that they would not interfere with his evil plans. While he resides in the Castle of Subcon, Wart created monsters with the [[Nightmare Machine]], and sent his army all around the dream world. While he fully succeed to take over the world, Wart became the king of Subcon himself.

From their confinement, the Subcons sent a message to the hero of the nearby [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Mario]], to come and deliver them from the dictator. At first Mario thought the message was just a dream, but the next day, while on a picnic with [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Toad]], he discovered a cave that led him to the very world he saw in his dream.

Mario and his friends instantly set out to free the fairies and defeat Wart to free Subcon from his reign. They battled their way through Wart's army, the [[8 Bits]], and his generals: [[Birdo]], [[Mouser]], [[Clawgrip]], [[Fryguy]], and [[Tryclyde]]. In the end they faced the evil king himself, and were eventually able to defeat him and free the captive fairies. They then awakened to find themselves back in the Mushroom Kingdom.

====''Super Mario Advance''====

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2#Super Mario Advance|Super Mario Advance]]'', there were [[Yoshi Egg]]s scattered all around Subcon, which Mario and friends has to recuperate.

====''[[BS Super Mario USA]]''====

Subcon is again the main setting of the pseudo-sequel of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' for Satellaview, ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]''. Sometime after the events of the invasion in Subcon, the world was peaceful at the time. Wart went into hiding, but suddenly returned to the dream world of Subcon and overthrew the world's king.

Finally, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool were able to return save Subcon from Wart's reign while asleep. While they were opposed by the spells of Wart and his forces, they had a valuable ally in the [[King of Subcon]]. They fought the 8 bits, the leaders, defeating the evil king Wart several times in the same way in the prequel. By doing so, they saved Subcon, the inhabitants, its kingdom, the king, and the world is once again at peace.

====''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''====

Subcon made its first ''Super Smash Bros.'' series appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Subcon made its third appearance as a stage of the game called [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] and it is based on World 1-1 and 1-2 of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Mushroom Kingdom II is the second Mushroom Kingdom stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It can be unlocked by collecting the [[Birdo]] or the [[Pidgit]] [[trophy]]. Unlike the first Mushroom Kingdom stage, Subcon has 8-bit graphics converted into 3D and 16-bit graphics that remain 2D. Strangely enough, this stage doesn't take place in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], despite the name.

Plants stick out throughout Subcon, which, when pulled, will give the character an item (or occasionally, a [[Bob-omb]]). A lot of the region of Subcon is high in the sky; the "land" being clouds. The dream world has many [[moon]]s at night as first seen in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''. Subcon also has many recurring landscapes, such as deserts, snowy lands, islands, mountains, grass plains and others. The only castle is Wart's castle, and no towns or cities is seen throughout the game. However, according to ''BS Super Mario USA'', Subcon has a kingdom and a [[Subcon King|king]]. It is not known how much of Subcon is considered a true kingdom; if not the entirety of the dream world, [[World 7 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|seventh world]] in the clouds of Subcon above [[World 5 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|the grass]] or [[World 6 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|the desert region]] is probably the whole region of the Subcon Kingdom itself. Wart's castle from World 7-2 is the king's castle, which was in the sky.

==Currency==

{{main|Coin#Super Mario Bros. 2}}

Subcon also uses [[Coin|Coins]], though their design is different with a "I" mark on it instead of "1" from Mushroom World. Coins in this world are rather rare. Instead of being found floating in the air on Mushroom World, for unknown reasons, Coins could only be retrieved by using a [[Magic Potion]] to create a [[door]] near unpicked vegetables and lead to [[Subspace]], where the Coins are found, but could not be found if the vegetables are already picked outside Subspace. Coins are mostly known to be used to earn prizes (1-ups) in a minigame after finishing a level.

==Demographics==

Subcon's population consists many species, as well as from [[Mushroom World]] (Subcon's original species began to reside on Mushroom World as well). Most prevalent are [[Subcon (species)|Subcon]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Ninji]], [[Albatross]]es, and [[Pokey]]s. The King of Subcon is [[human]], there are very few humans living in Subcon as well. Species from the [[Real World]], like the [[Whale]]s and [[Snowmen]], reside on [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|Subcon's icy land]].
