I'm bringing this up because of what happened [[Talk:Star Hill|here]]. Is there any evidence that Star Way and Star Road are one in the same? Or is it just speculation? --[[User:Yoshi626|'''<span style="color:green">Y</span>''']][[User talk:Yoshi626|'''<span style="color:black">o</span>''']][[Special:Contributions/Yoshi626|'''<span style="color:green">s</span>''']][[Special:recentchanges|'''<span style="color:black">h</span>''']][[Special:random|'''<span style="color:green">i</span>''']][[User:Yoshi626|'''<span style="color:black">6</span>''']][[User talk:Yoshi626|'''<span style="color:green">2</span>''']][[Special:Contributions/Yoshi626|'''<span style="color:black">6</span>''']][[Image:MKDD Yoshi Egg.png|20px]] 21:25, 20 January 2007 (EST)

:My two cents, years later: Star Road is Star Road. In SMW, it's just the warp spot that shoots you up to the Star World. In SMRPG, it's an actual road that you walk on. In Mario Kart, it's a literal road you drive on. All should be considered different interpretations of the same idea. The Star Road is a path you take to get to the special and/or secret place, which has different names in different games. In any event, multiple things that have the same name should at least have a disambiguation page, and THEN be split into multiple articles. But thematically speaking, there's no reason the Mario Universe needs to have multiple Star Roads; different games just envision the Star Road slightly differently. If you need a more robust explanation: the Star Road is magic. At any given time, it takes Mario where he needs to go. That being the case, it's not strange that every time Mario encounters the Star Road ot looks different and leads somewhere different.[[User:Thorvindr|Thorvindr]] ([[User talk:Thorvindr|talk]]) 10:27, December 22, 2022 (EST)
:Well... I believe that Mario, Luigi, and the babies are ''teleported there or get there by pipe''. Been a month since I got there.. A little fuzzy. {{User:3dejong/sig|static.. static.. I need a new picture tube.}}

I've wanted to do this for a while now. While the name may likely be inspired by the Super Mario World version, the similarities end there. The "Star Road" in Super Mario World simply ''teleports'' Mario to the [[Star World]], which looks like the Star '''Road''' from Super Mario RPG, even though the Star Road doesn't look like it in Super Mario World, the Star '''World''' is. Plus, the two serve different purposes. The Star Road from SMRPG brings wishes and dreams to life, a la [[Star Haven]]. The Star Road from SMW simply serves as a portal to a [[Warp Zone]] area, a la [[Warp Whistle]]. While this explanation may be confusing, the comment above is right. These two are '''clearly''' different places.

== Donut Land map image ==
Shouldn't this be an image of the standard map, not the map after being changed by completing the Special World?[[User:Thorvindr|Thorvindr]] ([[User talk:Thorvindr|talk]]) 10:34, December 22, 2022 (EST)
