'''Wario's Woods''' (formerly known as the '''Peaceful Woods''') is the location of where the events of the game ''[[Wario's Woods (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Wario's Woods]]'' take place. It was inhabited by the [[Sprite]]s peacefully until [[Wario]] had manipulated and gained control of the woods through his mysterious powers, then he sent out the woods' monsters (imprisoned by the curse he put over them) to overrun the forest. [[Toad]], along with [[Birdo]] and the [[Sprite]]s, ventured into Wario's Woods on a journey to restore peace there. After passing through countless areas and fighting several of Wario's monsters and mini-bosses along the way, Toad and the others reach the end of Wario's Woods, where they meet Wario. A final battle for the woods initiates between Toad and Wario. After being thwarted, Wario is chased out of the woods by Toad. Peace is restored to the woods, including Wario's monsters, which awoke from the nightmare that Wario placed on them.

The [[Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES version of ''Wario's Woods'']] has a few differences. The woods has a meadow that is the setting of the majority of Vs. Com mode, has Wario's face cut out in its grass. The posing of this face appears to be based on {{file link|Wario SML2 artwork.jpg|artwork}} from ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. The woods are both the first and last areas seen in Round Game mode and the only setting of VS Com mode. The ending instead shows Toad destroying [[Wario Castle]] with a single [[bomb]].

The inhabitants of the woods appear in neither version of ''Wario's Woods'', although the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version implies that the creatures were made into Wario's monsters.

In both the ''[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Super Mario]]'' KC Deluxe manga and ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Wario's Woods are ruled by a wise fairy elder simply called [[Chiyōrō-sama]] (who also appeared in the [[Mario & Wario (manga)|''Mario & Wario'' story arc]] in the KC Deluxe manga), and its inhabitants are fairies, one of which (the one that helps the protagonist during the events of the story) is [[Wanda]], the protagonist of ''[[Mario & Wario]]''. While ''Super Mario-kun'' follows the game events faithfully, with Wario suddenly invading the forest with his army of monsters and minions (with [[Goro]] and [[Mad]] being original inhabitants of the forest that were brainwashed by Wario), the [[Super Mario: Wario no Mori|KC Deluxe adaptation]] tells a very different story about [[Fauster]] being an ancient demon sealed centuries ago by a brave [[Toad (species)|Toad]], whose mask is worn by Mario during the story arc. Wario ends up freeing Fauster, who gratefully gives his powers to him to win over their enemies. Later, after a first defeat, Fauster and Wario return to destroy Peaceful Woods, this time sided by more minions, and almost succeed in their plan by sacrificing Luigi to the former, but are eventually thwarted by Mario and his friends.
