Should Rogueport and the surrounding areas be added here, or is it still a bit unclear of their true location?

(Peach's E-mail seems to confirm that is indeed in the Mushroom Kingdom, but even then it would be on the very outskirts considering Luigi's adventures in the Waffle Kingdom and him being at Rogueport between each adventure) --[[User:Sml007.5|Sml007.5]] 18:50, 13 August 2006 (EDT)

:From the Beanbean Kingdom, the Mushroom Kingdom is to the north.  From the Mushroom Kingdom, the Beanbean Kingdom is to the south.  However, it is impossible for both to have a western border with the other: one would have western, the other eastern. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 23:30, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

::Well, since in RPGs the west is usually to the left the south is heading towards the screen, etc., I'd say the the Beanbean Kingdom shares its north eastern border with the Mushroom Kingdom. [[User:Cobalt David|Cobalt David]] ([[User talk:Cobalt David|talk]]) 13:05, February 17, 2021 (EST)

Mushroom Kingdom's depiction has a few oddities in ''Super Mario RPG''. First off, in the game itself, the town area is just referred to as "Mushroom Kingdom"; however, according to the Player's Guide, "Mushroom Kingdom" refers to both the town and [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars#Mushroom Kingdom|World 1]], meaning it comprises of Mario's Pad (as in later games), Mushroom Way, Mushroom Kingdom, and Bandit's Way. Looking at Japanese materials, it seems the kingdom is probably intended to be the latter; the immediate "Mushroom Kingdom" area is labeled 「キノコ城」 (''Kinoko Jō'', Mushroom Castle) instead, which is the name of Peach's Castle in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Paper Mario''. There is one exception where the castle area is referred to by another name: in one of Dr. Topper's questions, instead of asking "''The boy at the inn in Mushroom Kingdom was playing with...What?''", he asks 「きのこ城下町宿屋の息子のもっている ゲームのきしゅは?」 - note the phrase 「きのこ城下町」 (''Kinoko Jōkamachi'', Mushroom Castle Town). Judging by this information, it looks like Ted Woolsey inadvertently merged together multiple subjects into "Mushroom Kingdom": the first world, the Toad town, and Peach's castle. I think the information should be reorganized as follows: the kingdom itself should mainly refer to the first world in general, the castle is an early rendition of Peach's Castle, and the town can either split into its own article or maybe merge with Toad Town (as it's clearly its direct predecessor).

:I'd say the latter solution. I don't like how we currently only consider the SM64-onward design to be "Peach's Castle." [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:16, April 19, 2020 (EDT)

::Agreed, though maybe deciding if even older incarnations in other media like ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!'' or ''Super Mario Adventures'' should count is better off as a separate discussion. Another thing I want to add is that the "Mushroom Castle" was in use for the ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide, at least on page 118: "''Hop on Toad’s head when you enter the Mushroom Castle the first time. As Toad approaches the door to the throne room, jump to reveal a platform. From this platform you can reach the Treasure Box.''" That makes it easier to refer to the castle within the context of ''Super Mario RPG''. And before anyone mentions that ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' only lists ''Super Mario 64'' as an appearance, I should point out that the Japanese text instead uses what is deemed to be notable appearances instead of trying to strictly use the first appearance (for example, Luigi is listed as from ''Super Mario Bros. 2 (FCD)'' and ''Luigi Mansion (GC)'' instead of ''Mario Bros.'' Arcade), which is why the English text had some errors attempting to force debuts and later games went with the looser Japanese approach.

:::I'd be fine with adding more inclusions of Peach's Castle, I didn't even realize we had earlier iterations missing in the first place. It seems weird to split them up just because Super Mario 64 gave it a design that it stuck with for the most part, and inconsistent with the handling of Bowser's Castle which goes back to SMB in our coverage. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:34, April 19, 2020 (EDT)

:::::I support adding more inclusions of Peach’s Castle, as it is currently inconsistent with how Bowser’s Castle is handled, and it seems strange to not include it just because it doesn’t have the appearance established in ''Super Mario 64''. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 16:26, April 19, 2020 (EDT)
::::::All right, so the consensus is that the first world is the broader kingdom, the "Mushroom Kingdom" town is a prototypical Toad Town and gets covered in that article, and the Mushroom Castle is Peach's Castle, which will be expanded to include earlier iterations.

== General Improvement Needed ==
Moved this from the template since it was too long. See comment by {{User:Somethingone/sig}}:
 
"WAAAAY too brief and listy for what it's meant to cover. Take the "appearance" list at the bottom, divide the "Overview" section up based on it, convert the "Overview" section to a "History" section and elaborate on each appearance more. We can't have one to two sentences of information for each appearance. The "Government" and "Demographics" need elaboration; there's been dozens of iterations of the Mushroom Kingdom, try to make general statements about trends seen in them and elaborate on any specific characters and "government" aspects. The "Currency" aspect should either be tidied up or removed, given that coins appear in almost every location and game with the same role, regardless of wether or not they are found in the Mushroom Kingdom. The "Cities, towns, and castles" section is too vague and unelaborative; how do we know which locations ARE in the Mushroom Kingdom? Explicitly? Implicitly? By default unless stated otherwise? Fix it up, maybe split it up by game, or incorporate into the "Overview" section completely. And do something about the trivia; it's much too minor and seemingly arbitrary to distinguish for this article, incorporate it to the "Overview"/"History" somehow."
