Template:Articleabout The Mushroom Kingdom is the largest known kingdom in the Mushroom World. Under the rule of the Toadstools, the Kingdom has enjoyed and endured both a utopian and traumatic existence. The former is largely attributed to the Toadstools ability to rule and the general good-natured feeling that permeates Mushroom society. The latter is largely attributed to the Koopa Troop, a group of turtles who reign over the badlands known as the Koopa Kingdom, and their dictator, Bowser. Many feel that Grass Land in Super Mario Bros. 3 is or is part of the Kingdom.

Government

A monarchy, the Mushroom Kingdom is ruled by the Toadstool family. Currently, the ruler in power is Princess Peach Toadstool. While King Toadstool’s role in the government has never been official confirmed in the video games, many feel he was seen in Super Mario Bros. 3 as the king of Grass Land. However, it is possible that either during the Shroob attack in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time or during Bowser’s attack in Super Mario Bros. he was slain or fled the kingdom. Princess Peach often turns to the Mushroom Chancellor for advice and has previously gave him temporary control over the Kingdom.

The Kingdom’s capital is at Toad Town, a town also known simply as the Mushroom Kingdom. Here, Princess Peach resides in a castle that is commonly referred to as Princess Peach's Castle. As such, it is unclear if it was built under the rule of the Princess or if it has existed for years prior. The castle interior and exterior have changed drastically over time.

Princess Peach keeps a hoard of Toads guards at her castle, but there is not much evidence of a military presence controlled by the Toadstools. However, Mario, Luigi, and countless other heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom have fought to save it and its princess countless times before, and show no signs of stopping the trend.

Demographics

The Mushroom Kingdom’s population is very vast, consisting of hundreds of species. Most prevalent are Toads, Koopas, Goombas, and Boos. Even though Princess Peach is human, there are very few humans living in the Mushroom Kingdom.

While racism is not much of a problem in the Kingdom, species tend to separate themselves into different areas. For example, Toad Town’s population is almost entirely made up of Toads and Shiver City is inhabited by many Bumpties and few others.

Recent History

Shroob Attack

Chronicled in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

An undetermined number of years ago, the Shroobs, hostile aliens from Planet Shroob, grew tired of their toxic, barren planet. Using their telescopes, they discovered the Mushroom Kingdom, and set out for it with a huge army.

While details are sparse, it is known that one of the first targets was Princess Peach’s Castle. The Shroobs began to set base there after a brief encounter with the future Princess Peach wherein the Elder Queen Shroob was trapped inside of the Cobalt Star. Peach then destroyed the Star and the Cobalt Star Shards spread throughout the Kingdom. The rest of the invasion and the search for the Shards was carried out by Queen Shroob.

As the Shroob invasion spread, the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom fled, leaving entire towns, such as Toad Town, nearly desolate. A number of unfortunate Toads were attacked in Toadwood Forest, where their vim was sucked out of them to create Shroob rocket fuel. Toads that did not escape were captured by [[Shroob UFO|Shroob UFOs|.

The Kingdom was saved by Mario and Luigi, then Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, and their future selves. During the storm of Shroob Castle, previously known as Princess Peach’s Castle, the younger Queen Shroob was defeated. The Elder Queen Shroob escaped from the Cobalt Star as a result of the reunion of the Shards, was defeated, and then was taken to the future in the form of a purple Mushroom. A stream of Baby Tears came through the Time Holes to the future and destroyed the handiwork of the Shroobs. Whether the Shroobs themselves were killed or simply escaped is unknown.

Koopa Kingdom Attack

Chronicled in Super Mario Bros.

The first attack lead by Bowser was one of the most devastating attacks. Many citizens were transformed into blocks or other objects. However, when Bowser discovered that Princess Peach had the power to undo his curse on the citizens, he captured her and seven of her closest Mushroom Retainers, imprisoning them in eight castles built by the Koopa Troop.

Mario and Luigi heard of the Kingdom’s plight. Quickly, they came to the Kingdom and began to fight back on behalf of the incapacitated citizens. They traveled to each of the castles in turn, finding that Bowser guarded each, and defeated him time after time, only to discover that “the Princess is in another castle!” as the Mushroom Retainers they rescued repeatedly told them. Finally, in the eighth castle, they rescued the Princess. Bowser and his army fled from the Kingdom.

"Dinohatten", the movie version of the Mushroom Kingdoms only city.

In Video Games and Television

In Super Mario Bros. (movie)

In the Mario Bros. movie, it was very different from what it looked it the games. It was Brooklyn but run down and surrounded by a massive desert. The ruler was also, Princess Daisy and not Peach. It was also called Dinohatten instead of Mushroom Kingdom.

Super Mario Bros.

This was the first video game where the Mushroom Kingdom was shown.

Super Mario 64

In this game the player only gets to see a little part of the game and that is Princes Peach's Castle and her garden. It is unknown if all the Painting Worlds Mario jumped into, were part of the Mushroom Kingdom, or just worlds that Bowser made.
