Speaking of the lists, does anyone else think that the protectors list is a little excessive?  It feels like it's just a list of characters as it stands.  This isn't to be mean or anything, just to open the floor for discussion :D  --[[User:Stumpers|Stumpers]]

Should events like Super Mario Kart and other spin-off sports games really be listed in the history of the Mushroom Kingdom? I don't think they are notable. All I see in these sections is "Later tournaments proved immensely popular." - point of view phrases. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 14:06, 25 January 2008 (EST)

:I feel that recreational events as well as political events need to be noted, but if you'd rather move them to a "Recreation and Entertainment" section, that was something I was planning on doing.  You could then merge them all into one Mario Kart section, mentioning the tourneys' place in reference to other events.  That would get around the sticky situation of what to call the tournaments, as well.  You and me have been following the same pages lately, huh, Cobold?  Good to see you again. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 20:03, 25 January 2008 (EST)

In Super Mario Galaxy there was a flag at the ending on top of the castle. It looks like it could be the flag for all of the country, but the problem is, that is only on top of the castle and nowhere else (for what I know). [[User:JDFRG|JDFRG]] 16.02, 28 March 2020
==Expand [[Mushroom Kingdom#Cities.2C_Towns_and_Castles|Cities, Towns, and Castles]] section to include all locations==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|no quorum|2-0}}
Since other kingdoms like the [[Beanbean Kingdom#Locations|Beanbean Kingdom]] have a complete list of locations, I think the Mushroom Kingdom should have a complete list of locations, instead
of just main cities and towns. Locations like the [[Twilight Trail]], [[Cavi Cape Cave|Cavi Cape]], and [[Star Hill]] are missing.

== Weird stuff in the Mario Kart section ==
*"The tournament doubled as an act of diplomacy as Bowser was allowed to race"
*"Following the Toadstool Tour and the events on Isle Delfino"
*"Some time after Bowser's invasion of the galaxies in Super Mario Galaxy"
*"Races took place in... <i>newly discovered regions of it</i>"
*"The Mushroom kingdom also <i>allowed other human residents from the area to participate</i>"
This stuff all seems like speculation to me. {{User:Yoshiwaker/sig|And there's more, too...}}
:While it may have made the article a little easier to read in terms of how it flows as a narrative, this is an encyclopedia, so that's all speculation, and I support getting rid of it. Off with its head and all that. {{User:Bop1996/sig}}
::Looks to me like the whole section needs to be rewritten. I don't understand the point of portraying each game as part of a narrative, since the MK games take elements from the main series but are not intertwined with it. None of the spin-offs are (excluding Luigi's reference in ''Paper Mario''). {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}}

==Should we get rid of the "Cities, Towns and Castles" section?==
As I have been editing I have noticed a major flaw with the "Cities, Towns and Castles" section. The section is very limited to only a few mario series titles. Paper Mario being a big one taking over most of the locations. Since there are SO many locations in the Mushroom Kingdom in so many different Mario series titles, maybe it would be right to to delete the section. We are majorly lacking from other Mario series titles such as Mario Party, the main series, the Mario kart series, etc. {{User|Thenintendostooge}}
== Information on the Mushroom Kingdom in the Japanese releases of the games, from Japanese Wikipedia article ==
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%8E%E3%82%B3%E7%8E%8B%E5%9B%BD
The Japanese article for Mushroom Kingdom makes the following claims:
* The Mushroom Kingdom is part of the greater Mushroom World, which is on Earth
* [[Peach's Castle]] is referred to as "Mushroom Castle" in [[Super Mario RPG]], [[Mario 64]], [[Paper Mario]], [[M&L2]] and [[NSMB]]
* Peach's Castle is referred to as "Peach Castle" in [[Mario Tennis 64]], [[Mario Party 4]], [[M&L3]], [[Mario Sports Mix]], [[Mario Golf: World Tour]], [[NSMB2]], [[NSMBU]] and [[Super Mario 3D World]]
* [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] and [[Mushroom City]] are the same place
* Yoster Island (the incarnation of [[Yoshi's Island]] appearing in [[SMW]] and M&L2, which is distinct from the Yoshi Island seen in the Yoshi series) is part of the Mushroom Kingdom
* [[Rogueport]] is also part of the Mushroom Kingdom
* All places with Karakara Sabaku as their name are the same location, [[Dry Dry Desert|which is this]] but also [[Dry Dry Desert (course)|this]] and [[Kalimari Desert|this]] (and common sense would also tell us it's [[Drybake Desert|also this]])
* [[Stardust Fields]] and [[Star Hill]] (the one seen in M&L2, distinct from the one in Mario RPG and PM64) are around the same area
It's not much help since none of these claims are sourced, but it would be good to look into some of those. [[User:Koopalmier|Koopalmier]] ([[User talk:Koopalmier|talk]]) 14:32, 23 August 2016 (EDT)
:While this looks a nice deal of info, I don't think this wiki accepts Wikipedia itself as a legit source.

== Music (''Super Mario RPG'') ==
Was part of the music that plays in Mushroom Kingdom from ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' used in the music for [[World-e Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', or is it just coincidental that the music for World-e Castle sounds very similar to Mushroom Kingdom's music?

== Largest kingdom in the world? Not anymore! ==
This article sais that the Mushroom Kingdom is one of the largest in the world. But with Odyssey coming out, and this Kingdom actually being one of the smallest Kingdoms in that game, should we change this part at the beginning of the article?

Well, I say "map" but really all it shows is a mushroom-shaped island with no distinct or visible features, and I highly doubt that'd be fitting as the main image for the article.

==''Super Mario RPG'' location(s)==
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). [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 12:48, April 19, 2020 (EDT)
: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)
::::Pretty sure we're basing the article off of the look that has since been established in ''Super Mario 64''. That seems pretty arbitrary, so I'm for grouping the castles better. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:58, 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. Is that correct? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 17:39, April 19, 2020 (EDT)

== 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."
