The '''Mushroom Kingdom''' is the one of the largest [[Monarchy|kingdoms]] in the [[Mushroom World]]. Under the rule of [[Princess Peach|Princess Peach Toadstool]], the kingdom has enjoyed and endured both a peaceful and traumatic existence. The former is largely attributed to Peach's ability to rule and the general good-nature feeling that permeates Mushroom Kingdom society. The latter is largely attributed to the [[Koopa Troop]], a group of turtles who reign over the badlands, and their leader, [[Bowser]]. However, because of Princess Peach's magnanimity, the Mushroom Kingdom is able to accept Bowser and his allies within its borders for various kart-racing and sports tournaments. Despite their continued belligerency, the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom never wishes for revenge against the Koopa Troop. Additionally, the Mushroom Kingdom shares its southwestern border with the [[Beanbean Kingdom]].
{{quote|Mushroom Kingdom - Most Famous of All Kingdoms|In-game brochure|[[Super Mario Odyssey]]}}
 
The '''Mushroom Kingdom''' is the primary setting of the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Its appearance varies from game to game, often coinciding with the genre. However, common characteristics of the kingdom that are shared across games are its tall, round hills, presence of floating objects such as [[? Block]]s and [[coin]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s, striped grasslands, and layered dirt. The kingdom is ruled by [[Princess Peach]] and the primary inhabitants are [[Toad (species)|Toads]].
It should be noted that there is disparity between the kingdom's multiple appearances regarding the exact layout of certain towns and locations. However, the Mushroom Kingdom comprises many recurring landscapes, such as plains, deserts, islands, forests, mountains, snowy areas, wastelands and others.

In the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games, the Mushroom Kingdom is portrayed as a large country with many landscapes such as [[level#List of level themes|grassy plains, deserts, beaches, jungles, snowy tundras, mountains, cloudy areas, and volcanoes]].
Many years after the Shroob invasion and [[Donkey Kong]]'s conquest, King Bowser led his first devastating attack against the Mushroom Kingdom. Using Dark Koopa magic, Bowser transformed many of the kingdom's citizens into [[block]]s, [[Mushroom]]s, and 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 Retainer]]s, imprisoning them in eight castles scattered across the kingdom.

According to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''{{'}}s instruction booklet, the Mushroom Kingdom serves as the entrance to the [[Mushroom World]], where the main game takes place. ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' includes an opening cutscene that shows the interior of Peach's Castle.
 
====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
The Mushroom Kingdom is mentioned in the instruction booklet for ''[[Super Mario World]]'', which states that Mario and Luigi left for a vacation at [[Dinosaur Land]], the game's main setting, after saving the Mushroom World in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. The opening cutscene ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'' shows Mario and co. arriving at Dinosaur Land from the Mushroom Kingdom via hot air balloon.
 
====''Super Mario 64''====
[[File:SM64 globe artwork.png|thumb|right|220px|The Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'']]
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', the locations were created by Bowser using the stolen [[Power Star]]s and can be accessed through [[Painting|paintings]] hung on the walls of Peach's Castle. The locations are as follows:
*[[Bob-omb Battlefield]]
*[[Whomp's Fortress]]
*[[Jolly Roger Bay]]
*[[Cool, Cool Mountain]]
*[[Big Boo's Haunt]]
*[[Hazy Maze Cave]]
*[[Lethal Lava Land]]

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
The Mushroom Kingdom makes no appearance in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', although it is mentioned in the game's instruction booklet as a distant location from the [[Isle Delfino]], the game's main setting. This is evident by the fact Mario and company take an airplane to the island.
 
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:Castle investigate.png|thumb|right|220px|The Mushroom Kingdom in the introduction of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'']]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom is the main location of the game, and has 8 worlds to traverse. Some world themes take inspiration from previous Mario series games, while others are completely new on their own.

Mario and Luigi soon heard of the Mushroom 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, finding a [[False Bowser]] guarding each, and that "the Princess is in another castle," as the Mushroom Retainers they rescued repeatedly told them. Finally, in the eighth castle, they defeated Bowser and rescued the Princess. Bowser and his army fled from the Mushroom Kingdom.

[[File:SMG Prolog2.png|thumb|right|220px|The Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom appears at the beginning during the Star Festival before being attacked by Bowser, who abducts Peach, along with her castle. It appears again in [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] and its only mission, [[The Star Festival]].

====''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]====
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Wasting no time after his defeat with Princess Toastool rescued by Mario and Luigi in ''Super Mario Bros.'', Bowser again invaded and conquered the Mushroom Kingdom using Dark Koopa magic, kidnapping the Toads once more. He also kidnapped Princess Toadstool and hid her deep inside one of his castles. While many of his troops employed similar tactics as before, several new strategies were used. Some [[Blooper]]s were instructed to fly in the sky and the [[Piranha Plant]]s with their frequent red sub-species spent hardly anytime hiding in their Warp Pipes. [[Poison Mushroom]]s were used as well. [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s and [[Hammer Bro]]s were able to go underwater and are almost invincible as Mario could not stomp on them but to shoot fireballs in his fire form or use the [[Starman]] to kill them. However, against all odds, Mario and Luigi were able to rescue the Princess once more by traveling through various unknown lands of the Mushroom Kingdom defeating all of the [[Koopa Troop]], the False Bowsers and Bowser three times.
[[File:Peach's Castle NSMBW.png|thumb|right|220px|[[Peach's Castle]] in the opening cutscene of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'']]
''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' retains the Mushroom Kingdom as the game's main location, and shares the same world themes as the previous game.

After ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Bowser's next attack on the Mushroom Kingdom was part of a much larger scheme. With the help of the [[Koopalings]] and [[Boom Boom]], the Koopa Troop's power spread throughout the seven kingdoms of the [[Mushroom World]]. Luring Mario and Luigi away from the Mushroom Kingdom to go to the nearby kingdom, the [[Grass Land]], Bowser was able to again kidnap the Princess, attacking the Mushroom Kingdom and take her to his home in [[Dark Land]]. After saving [[Pipe Maze]] from [[Ludwig von Koopa]], the Mario Bros. were able to defeat all of the remaining Koopa Troop soldiers of Dark Land, save Princess Toadstool from her fate once more and defeat Boom Boom and the Koopa King, saving the Mushroom World from his reign. Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool returned to the Mushroom Kingdom, and went to start a vacation on [[Dinosaur Land]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom appears at the beginning; however, it [[Unrevisitable area|can only be visited once]]. It serves as the first area of the game and is where Mario meets [[Baby Luma]] and discovers Bowser's new plan to rule the universe.

[[File:SM3DL Prolog2.png|thumb|right|220px|[[Mario]] and the [[Toad (species)|Toads]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'']]
After helping Mario and Princess Toadstool save the Mushroom Kingdom from Smithy's gang, and racing in the first Mario Kart tourney, it was unclear as to what Bowser’s intentions would be in the not-too-distant future. However, this period of hope was ended when the Koopa Troop directly invaded Princess Peach's Castle, isolating it from the rest of the kingdom. Once inside, the Koopas began an elaborate plan to ensure their success. Utilizing the Power Stars that provided energy to the castle, Bowser powered up his troops and entrusted the Stars to them. Each Star was hidden in an awkward location or in the hands of a boss. The majority of the Power Stars were hidden in worlds accessible through special paintings found in the castle. Trapped inside the castle's walls, Peach and the [[Toad (species)|Toads]] could not send news of the attack to the outside world, but by coincidence Princess Peach had sent Mario an invitation to the castle that very same day. With the help of several Toads and hints left by Princess Peach, Mario obtained all 120 Power Stars and rescued Princess Peach. After the game was completely finished, [[Yoshi]] can be found on the roof and he could give his best friend 100 1-Ups and leave.  
The Mushroom Kingdom returns in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', and comes with more unique level and world themes unlike the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series. Peach's Castle is seen at the beginning and end of the game, as well as in the background of [[World 1-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-1]].

However, in the remake, ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the story became alot more different, as well as Princess Peach's Castle, and it was Yoshi the main protagonist of the game as its default character. Mario, Luigi and their rival [[Wario]] were invited by Princess Peach Toadsool to eat some cake in her castle. As they enter the castle, Lakitu went to see Yoshi who was sleeping on the roof and awaken him to tell him that Mario, Luigi and Wario never came back safely, asking Yoshi to check what is going on.

''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' still takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom and has fewer worlds than previous games; however, some world themes are merged to accommodate.

Unlike previous installments in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' series, in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and its [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|port]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]], the worlds of the Mushroom Kingdom have names:
Sometime after their vacation on [[Isle Delfino]], Mario (or Luigi) and [[Princess Peach]] are walking together around [[Princess Peach's Castle]], when suddenly a mysterious thundercloud appeared right above the castle, and struck the castle with lightnings. Mario or Luigi went to investigate, and while he is there, [[Bowser Jr.]] sneaks behind a bush and kidnaps Peach. Mario and Luigi follows, and Bowser Jr. drags her through seven different and dangerous worlds of Mushroom World. However, the Mario Bros. managed to defeat Bowser and his son saving Princess Peach (she will say "Thank You!" and reward the plumber with a kiss) and return peacefully to the Mushroom Kingdom.

[[File:Bowser'sFuryPrologue.png|thumb|right|220px|Mario finding a trail of [[goop]] at Peach's Castle in the prologue of ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'']]
The Mushroom Kingdom celebrated the [[Star Festival]], where everyone collected [[Star Bit]]s. Princess Peach (with [[Luma (character)|Luma]]) and her two Toad Guards watched over the Mushroom Kingdom as everyone celebrated the festival. However, soon, the Mushroom Kingdom was attacked by Bowser and his Airships. Using a large UFO, Bowser lifted Peach's Castle (with Peach and her Toads still inside in which the toads are cowering behind peach) into space.  
In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom appears at the beginning of the games. In the former game, Mario and friends return to the Mushroom Kingdom at the end of the credits.


Bowser's plans were to create a galactic empire to rule every single bit of the [[universe]]. However, Mario also found himself up into space, and with the help of [[Rosalina]] and the Lumas, he was able to reach the center of the universe, where Bowser's planet was being created. Mario defeated Bowser, saved Princess Peach and was able to stop him from taking over the universe.
====''Super Mario Run''====
[[File:A Kingdom Past SMR.png|thumb|A Kingdom Past in ''Super Mario Run'']]
''[[Super Mario Run]]'' prominently features the Mushroom Kingdom as game's main menu and as the focus of the Kingdom Builder mode.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Smart-device-games/Super-Mario-Run-1140496.html?srsltid=AfmBOorXEkY8qWYL-dVIDY6QQpDnpi-1buWZL8NTZZF3UmQeVpnCgaf7 Super Mario Run description from Nintendo's UK and Ireland website. Accessed Sep 4, 2024]</ref> The game usually refers to the Mushroom Kingdom with the phrase '''your kingdom''', or sometimes '''the kingdom'''.<ref>{{cite|quote=What is the kingdom? It's a kingdom that was destroyed by Bowser when he kidnapped Princess Peach. You can rebuild the kingdom by building structures with the help of the Toads that join after victories in Toad Rally.|author=|title=Help and Inquiries|url=https://support.supermariorun.com/en-US/faq|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=October 13, 2024}}</ref> When Bowser kidnaps Peach in this game, he also destroys all of the buildings and scatters all of the Toads. Peach's Castle is wrecked, and is replaced by a tent. Some [[Thwomp]]s were left in the area.  


[[File:endingscene.PNG|thumb|200px|The ending in the public square.]]
When loaded, the game opens on an area with Peach's Tent, a replacement version of Peach's Castle. Below it is a cobblestone crossroad marked with Peach's emblem. Two Toads operate menus: one for the notifications menu and a [[Jammin' Toad|Toad wearing headphones]] for the menu governing playing music from the device's library. A [[Gift Box]] contains items granted through events. This area is bordered on the north and east by forests and hills, and on the west and south by water. A passage to the east is blocked off by a lake.
However, the explosion of Bowser's Planet created a [[Black Hole]] which sucked every planet of the galaxy in, and destroyed everything. However, as Rosalina explained, the universe was just being recreated. Soon, Mario, Princess Peach and Bowser awoke near Princess Peach's Castle, and Mario then realized that the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as every planet in the galaxy, was recreated. Mario then welcomed the new galaxy by shouting "Welcome! Welcome new galaxy!"
<br clear=all>


====''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]====
In Kingdom Builder, the player can purchase and place [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|buildings and decorations]] to create a custom version of the Mushroom Kingdom. Thwomps act as obstacles that restrict building placement, but the player can earn [[Hammer]]s to remove them.  
[[File:NSMBW Prologue.png|thumb|200px|left|The Koopalings and Bowser Jr. jumping out of the cake in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
At Peach's Castle, as [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and their friends are celebrating [[Princess Peach]]'s birthday, a huge [[cake]] slides in. Immediately, [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]] (who made a surprise return) pop out and throw the giant cake on top of Peach, trapping her inside. The Koopalings jumped into their Airship with the cake and Princess Peach inside and fly away fast, as Mario, Luigi with the two Toads are chasing them through various different lands of [[Mushroom Kingdom]] at their full speed.


====''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]====
In order to bring Toads back to the Mushroom Kingdom, players play the Toad Rally mode.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aivv_RNoM3s Apple Special Event, Apple. Sep 7, 2016. Reposted by Nintendo Wire as Super Mario Run iOS Announcement {{!}} Feat. Shigeru Miyamoto and Bill Trinen. Accessed Sep 4, 2024]</ref> With more Toads of each color, the player can purchase more kinds of buildings, including five Rainbow Bridges that each add an adjacent area to the kingdom. Acquiring Toads also gradually rebuilds Peach's Castle.  
[[File:SMG2 Prologue.png|thumb|200px|right|Mario on his way to [[Princess Peach's Castle]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
Again, the Mushroom Kingdom celebrated the Star Festival. As Mario is on his way to Peach's Castle collecting Star Bits, he found [[Luma]] collapsed on the grass, his companion from ''Super Mario Galaxy''. He seemed to like Mario and jumps into his hat. At [[Toad Town]], Mario discovers an over-sized [[Bowser]] attacking the castle. He kidnaps Princess Peach in his hand and takes her away, hoping for her to witness his creation of his new galaxy in the center of the universe and bake him some cake. Mario heads to Peach's castle where he finds two Lumas. After seeing Baby Luma with Mario, they offer to aid Mario in his search for [[Power Star]]s. One of the Lumas transforms into a [[Launch Star]], which sends Mario away from Mushroom World to the [[Sky Station Galaxy]] and begin his adventure.


[[File:CakeSMG2.png|thumb|left|200px|A cake in the ending scene in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
The Rainbow Bridges extend the kingdom in each direction. East and southeast of the castle is more of the same landmass.  West and southwest are two different landmasses located across the water. South is a set of seven islands in the water. One of these islands is large and has multiple places to position buildings, while another has a single place for a building.
After Mario, Luigi and Yoshi rescued Princess Peach and saved the Galaxies, they (along with [[Lubba]]) all returned to the Mushroom Kingdom, as a huge cake with Star Bits and Yoshi Fruits on it can be seen in front of Peach's Castle during the game's ending credits.


===DIC Cartoons===
If Peach's Tent or Peach's Castle is tapped, the player can look at a framed photo of the kingdom's initial state, titled '''A Kingdom Past'''. There are zoning laws that prevent too many Toads from staying in the Mushroom Kingdom at the same time.<ref>{{cite|quote=Due to strict zoning rules, there is a limit to how many Toads can live in your kingdom at a time.

====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!====
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom, most commonly referred to as the "Mushroom Land", was a central plot point in the show; the Mushroom Kingdom was apparently under the influence of King Koopa in the show, and Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool spent the bulk of the series' episodes searching for someone or something that could free it from his grasp. King Koopa's hold on the Mushroom Kingdom was relinquished in one the last episodes of the show, "[[Flatbush Koopa]]".


====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3====
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' seemed to have combined both the Mushroom Kingdom and [[Grass Land]] into one location; in ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'', which took place in [[Dinosaur Land]] (renamed "Dinosaur World") the Mushroom Kingdom was only mentioned in the shows last episode, "[[Mama Luigi]]", which revealed King Koopa and his armies were successfully driven from it and the surrounding areas.

[[File:BackgroundSMBWcastle.jpg|thumb|right|220px|The Mushroom Kingdom can be seen briefly at the beginning of ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.]]
Just when the kingdom's problems seemed to be over, an epidemic broke out among its citizens. The microscopic [[virus|viruses]] were responsible for the infection. In response, Mario assumed the title [[Dr. Mario (character)|Dr. Mario]] and worked to develop a cure: the [[Megavitamin]]. While the process was effective, it was slow. Dr. Mario needed to place viruses in vials before dropping the proper Megavitamin on each virus, a very painstaking process. However, his efforts were fruitful, and the Mushroom Kingdom regained its good health.
The Mushroom Kingdom is not the setting for ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''; instead, the game takes place in the neighboring [[Flower Kingdom]]. However, in the game's opening sequence and [[Welcome to the Flower Kingdom!|first level]], the Mushroom Kingdom is briefly visible in the background.

While it was widely known that Dr. Mario had contained the Viruses, he had not eradicated them. When Wario decided to steal Dr. Mario's remaining samples, the kingdom was threatened by another potential infection. Chasing down Wario, the doctor’s adventure proved involved and extensive. Finally, he recaptured the vials and contained the virus once again.

====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros.

Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool spend the bulk of the series' episodes searching for someone or something that could free it from his grasp. Many regions of the Mushroom Kingdom in the series are inspired by locations from movies, fairy tales, books, and real-life.

[[File:GrassLandCartoon.jpg|thumb|The Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.]]
Named after Mario, the first Mario Kart races were not witnessed by many citizens firsthand. However, it served to popularize the karting sport. Later tournaments proved immensely popular. Following Bowser’s kidnapping of Princess Peach on Dinosaur Land in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the tournament doubled as an act of diplomacy as Bowser was allowed to race. The races took place in [[Dinosaur Land]], the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser’s Castle, [[Rainbow Road]] and possibly other locations.
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the kingdom, though taking the place of [[Grass Land]], is more like its game counterpart and is in a more peaceful state than in the previous series.

====''[[Mario Kart 64]]====
====''Super Mario World''====
As evidenced by the crowds that gathered in the arena-based racetracks, the second Mario Kart Tournament proved much more popular. Following Bowser's first assault on Princess Peach's Castle in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and Mario’s conflicts with [[Wario]], it again served as an olive branch. The races took place in the Mushroom Kingdom, the Koopa Kingdom, Rainbow Road and possibly others. Famous tracks include [[Yoshi Valley]]. A short road, several bridges and minor signs mark the only man made additions to the course.
In ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'', the kingdom is mentioned in the episode "[[Mama Luigi]]."


====''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''====
===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
A longer, but less prominent tournament, tourney proved to be one of the most challenging. Sometime during the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance Era]]'', races took places in more exotic locations, such as [[Cheese Land]] and [[Ribbon Road]] among old favorites such as Bowser's Castle. This tournament also marked the last time Coins were used as a method of powering up karts and continued the use of [[Item Box]]es rather than [[? Panel]]s. Additionally, the ''Super Mario Kart'' tourney's race tracks were reused for five of the cups.
''[[Leaping Lizards]]'' describes the Mushroom Kingdom as being deep under the surface of the Earth, which is used as an explanation for how Mario and Luigi can reach the Kingdom through a series of pipes in [[Brooklyn]].<ref>{{cite|quote='Look out below!' Luigi yells. He dives head first into the Central Pipe that sticks up from the floor of the Mario Bros. plumbing workshop. Tumbling through steamy darkness, he passes dripping faucets, hissing valves and the glowing red eyes of wayward alligators. In minutes, he plunges from the Brooklyn plumbing shop to the Mushroom Kingdom, deep below the surface of the Earth.|author=Bosco, Clyde|date=January 1, 1991|title=''[[Leaping Lizards]]''|publisher=Mammoth|page=1}}</ref>


====''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]====
===''Hotel Mario''===
[[File:Ss mkdd babies.jpg|thumb|right|[[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.]]
The Mushroom Kingdom appears in ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', where [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopalings]] have dominated the kingdom by turning it into a location that the game takes place in: '''Klub Koopa Resort''' (stylized as '''Klub Koopa Re<s>z</s>sort'''). There are seven hotels within Klub Koopa Resort.
Following the Toadstool Tour and the events on [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the fourth Mario Kart tournament made major changes to the classic formula set forth by its predecessors. Participants were split into groups of two, with each group commanding one kart. One participant drove the kart while the other used items. While all of the famous racers competed, several people famous for other deeds joined the races. These racers included Daisy, Waluigi, and [[Petey Piranha]]. This tournament proved to be one of the most prominent of the Mario Kart tournaments, with fans easily filling multiple stadiums.

====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
Some time after Bowser's invasion of the galaxies in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the Mushroom Kingdom held yet another momentous racing event. The majority of the races took place inside the kingdom itself, such as in Toad Town, [[Peach Gardens|Peach's royal gardens]], and even through newly discovered regions of it, such as [[Koopa Cape]] and the canyons of [[Wario's Gold Mine]]. Once again the tournament spanned throughout other areas and kingdoms, such as [[Isle Delfino]] and possibly even [[Sarasaland]]. But this time the races even exceeded the [[Mushroom World]], and traveled into the galaxy. Rainbow Road appeared to take place far above the Mushroom World's atmosphere, and one of the races courses even appeared to take place in the [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]]. Racers ranged from the racing veterans such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi, but also marked the the racing debut of Rosalina, [[Dry Bowser]], and even [[Funky Kong]]. The Mushroom Kingdom also allowed [[Mii|other human residents]] from the areas to participate for the first time in this competition. The number of participants in each race has been increased by four, making a total of twelve drivers in this tournament.
The Mushroom Kingdom appears at the end of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' when [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] are returned to their home.


====''[[Mario Kart 7]]''====
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
After saving Mushroom World and the galaxies once again from the clutches of Bowser in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', the Mushroom Kingdom hosted a seventh Mario Kart tournament. This time, the tournament will have new racers and returning veterans. The races will now take place in Toad Town, and other locations in, around and outside the kingdom, especially [[Donkey Kong Island]].
The Mushroom Kingdom appears in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''; in the opening, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi end up being delivered at the wrong house, and the [[stork]] attempts to deliver the babies to their rightful parents before eventually being captured alongside Baby Luigi by [[Kamek]] and his [[Toady|Toadies]], while Baby Mario falls into a nearby location, [[Egg Island]]. The Mushroom Kingdom is not seen again until the end, where the Baby Mario Bros. are returned to their rightful home. If the [[Flutter Wings]] have never been used once, then Mario will appear in the secret ending.


===''[[Wario's Woods]]===
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
In the events of ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', [[Toad]] saved the Mushroom Kingdom by his lonesome from Wario's antagonistic capture of the Kingdom. Wario took over the Mushroom Kingdom starting from the taking over of [[Wario's Woods (place)|a once peaceful forest]]. To ensure that nobody tried to stop him, Wario set up many of his minions to serve as mini-bosses in each one of the Kingdom's areas in the game. Fortunately, his plan did not go too successful as his minions were defeated by Toad (with the help of his friends [[Birdo]] and [[Wanda]]). Eventually, Toad defeated Wario himself and saved both the Kingdom as well as the Woods that began it all. In the SNES version of the game, Toad even went to destroying [[Wario's Castle|Wario's own castle]] (that was constructed in the Mushroom Kingdom) by throwing a bomb at it.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
====''Mario Golf'' (Nintendo 64)====
The Mushroom Kingdom made its debut in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]] in ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], appearing the following golf courses:
*[[Toad Highlands]]
*[[Koopa Park]]
*[[Shy Guy Desert]]


While Toad is referred to as the ''Mushroom Kingdom Hero'' in this game, the usual protectors (including Mario, Luigi, and Peach) of the Mushroom Kingdom are oddly absent throughout the events of this game. Even Bowser himself (the main antagonist of the games) was absent during the event of Wario's taking over of the Kingdom. While it is unknown as to where these characters were during this time, it could be possible that this game takes place during the events of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (a game released a few years earlier). As Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser (unknowingly) had left the Kingdom during the events of ''Super Mario World'' to explore distant lands, this would make Toad to be the only major protagonist to be left in the Mushroom Kingdom (as he did not make an appearance in ''Super Mario World''). Additionally, only characters that are not present in ''Super Mario World'' make an appearance in ''Wario's Woods''. However, the proof that whether or not ''Wario's Woods'' takes place in the same time period as ''Super Mario World'' has yet to be shown.
====''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''====
The Mushroom Kingdom returns in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', appearing in the following golf courses:
*[[Lakitu Valley]]

The Mushroom Kingdom is both a level and a world in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. The Mushroom Kingdom is the name of a single town in the game, as well as [[World 1]], which consists of the levels in close proximity to the town. The levels include [[Mario's Pad]], the home of Mario, [[Mushroom Way]], a passage blocked by Bowser's forces, the Mushroom Kingdom town itself, and [[Bandit's Way]], a den for thieves such as the criminal [[Croco]].

All the downloadable courses that take place in the Mushroom Kingdom, alongside [[Mario's Star (golf course)|Mario's Star]], were included in the Season Pass: the First Wave, consisting of Toad Highlands and Koopa Park, are both included in the Mushroom Pack, which was released on May 2, 2014; the Second Wave, consisting of Layer-Cake Desert and Sparkling Waters are both included in the Flower Pack, which was released on May 22, 2014; and the Third Wave, consisting of Rock-Candy Mines and Mario's Star, are both in the Star Pack, which was released on June 19, 2014. However, the Season Pass, the Mushroom Pack, the Flower Pack, and the Star Pack had all been removed from the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Nintendo eShop]] on March 27, 2023, making them no longer available for download, although players who have previously downloaded those can still play their courses as long as they are on their 3DS device.


During the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Bowser once again kidnapped Princess Peach. By change, the [[Smithy Gang]], a vicious group of mechanical villains from another dimension, warped the giant sword, [[Exor]], into the Mushroom Kingdom's dimension shortly afterward. Landing in [[Bowser's Keep]] where the princess was kept, they inadvertently saved the princess. However, she could not easily return to the Mushroom Kingdom, and was cut off. In this state, the Mushroom [[Chancellor]] took temporary control as Mario began a counter-attack. The mechanical monster [[Mack]] conquered the Mushroom Kingdom, but Mario, with [[Mallow]]'s help, was able to liberate the kingdom. Mario and Mallow eventually joined up with [[Geno]], Princess Toadstool, and Bowser. This party traveled across the planet, liberating other countries, and reclaiming the scattered [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Pieces]]. Eventually, Mario and his comrades gained access to the futuristic [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]] located in a different dimension. They stormed the factory and cornered [[Smithy]], the leader of the gang. After destroying Smithy and returning to the Mushroom World, Mario and friends saw Exor dissolved into nothingness, breaking the link between the two dimensions and leaving the Mushroom Kingdom safe from future attacks by the gang.
====''Mario Golf: Super Rush''====
The Mushroom Kingdom appears once again in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', appearing in the following golf courses:
*[[Rookie Course]]

====''[[Mario Party]]====
*[[The Palace]]
What started out as a personal competition between Mario and his friends at a party evolved into a full-scale adventure. When Mario invited a few of his closest friends to a party, an argument erupted over which of them was the [[Superstar]] of the Mushroom World. [[Toad (character)|Toad]] decided that it would best be resolved through a contest to solve the many problems of the world. Several of these problems belonged to the Mushroom Kingdom.
*[[Pipeline Central]]
*[[Mushroom Hill]]
*[[Royal Castle]]


====''[[Mario Party 2]]====
===''Mario Baseball'' series===
Mario gathered his friends together to create a theme park for them to enjoy. After viewing their work, the plumber named it [[Mario Land]], after himself. Whether the others felt jealous or not, only Wario showed his feelings, destroying the front sign and replacing it with one that read "Wario Land." The tranquility broke and a fight erupted over the name. They were so absorbed by the argument that Bowser was able to pass by undetected and invade the land.
*[[Mario Stadium (baseball stadium)]]
*[[Peach Garden]]


Witnessing this, Toad rushed towards the main gate and proposed that the gathering of heroes put aside their arguments and name the world after the one who defeated Bowser. Utilizing the same competitive spirit they had to resolve the problems of the world previously, the group was able to drive Bowser out of the world, but not before Bowser had established a stronghold known was [[Bowser Land]]. Toad named the land after the hero or heroine who defeated Bowser.

One [[Millennium Star]] is born every one thousand years, and this particular star landed in the Mushroom Kingdom. Once there, the usual group of party-goers plus Daisy and [[Waluigi]] fought over it. Eventually, the Millennium Star revealed itself to be a fake. He had deceived them so that the true star could observe their true natures and accurately grant the title of Millennium Star to one of them.

After the success of the Mario Kart tournaments, a golf tournament was held under Mario's name shortly afterward. Many famous people took part in the tournament, such as Mario, Peach, and Bowser, showing skill previously unpublicized. In addition, many new golfers, such as [[Charlie]] and [[Maple]], rose to fame through the tourney. By this point in time, the possibility of a sporting event calming Bowser's ambitions was unbelievable, although it would be a long time before the Koopa tried again.

Another golfing tour, the Toadstool Tour's main difference from the original tour was its players' new abilities. Now more advanced, the famous players were able to pull off even more advanced shots. The downside to this change was that the lesser known golfers were pushed to the side. The tour was made up of six different tournaments.

[[File:PM Bowserscastle.png|thumb|200px|right|Taking no chances, Bowser stole Princess Peach's Castle, complete with Princess Peach and many guests in ''Paper Mario''.]]
The Mushroom Kingdom appears in the beginning of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]], where only the Mario Bros. house and Peach's Castle are visited. The Mushroom Kingdom shares its border with the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], the game's primary setting.
After another period of general tranquility, Bowser developed a new scheme to fulfill his dreams. Tired of his wishes being ignored by the seven [[Star Spirits]], the granters of wishes, Bowser attacked [[Star Haven]], where their source of power, the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] was kept. He stole the Star Rod and turned the Star Spirits into cards. After spreading the spirits to remote locations of the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser used his new, unlimited powers to transport his castle directly beneath Princess Peach’s Castle and elevated both into the upper reaches of the [[Mushroom World]]. Bowser thwarted Mario’s attempts to rescue Princess Peach by turning himself invincible, and nearly killed Mario in the process, sending him hurtling to the earth.


After many long fights with Bowser’s expansive force, Mario and a new group of allies were able to rescue all of the Star Spirits. The spirits granted Mario their failsafe against the Star Rod’s power, the [[Star Beam]], which could temporarily end the effects of the rod. However, [[Kammy Koopa]] was able to render this useless with a special machine that powered up Bowser during Mario and his partners' siege on the castles. With the help of [[Twink]], a [[Star Kid]], Princess Peach was able to send her power to Mario and the Star Spirits. As a result, Mario was granted the [[Peach Beam]] and used it to destroy Bowser’s castle, sending Bowser and Kammy to the ground below. Using the rod, the spirits replaced Princess Peach’s Castle in Toad Town and returned to Star Haven.
====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
<br clear=all>
{{M&LPIT map}}
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', during Mario and Luigi's childhood, the Mushroom Kingdom is invaded by the Shroobs, so [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Peach]], [[Toadsworth the Younger]], and [[Baby Bowser]] (who had been trying to capture Baby Peach at the time) flee in the [[Koopa Cruiser]].


====''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]====
In the present time, an event is held at Peach's Castle, where [[Princess Peach]], [[Toadiko]], and [[Toadbert]] travel to the past via [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s [[Prof. E. Gadd's time machine|time machine]], which is powered by the [[Cobalt Star]]. But when the device returns, it is in a ruined state and is occupied by [[Junior Shrooboid|a hostile alien]], forcing Mario and Luigi to use a newly formed [[time hole]] in the castle gardens to go to the past to find Peach.
Princess Peach and her faithful ward [[Toadsworth]] decided to make a visit to [[Rogueport]] while on vacation. While the idea appeared dangerous, as long as Toadsworth kept an eye on Peach, she was safe from trouble from the thugs of the town. However, when Peach sneaked away one day for a bit of freedom, she was snapped up by the [[X-Naut]]s. Word on the street was that Peach had found the [[Magical Map]], an object the aliens had long sought. Luckily, Peach had previously sent the map to [[Mario]], requesting that he come and help her look for the treasure marked.


When Mario arrived in Rogueport, he discovered what happened to the princess from various eye-witnesses. With the map and the help of [[Goombella]] and [[Professor Frankly]], Mario discovered the [[Thousand-Year Door]] and realized that to find Princess Peach, he would need to track seven keys to the door. These keys, the [[Crystal Stars]], were the treasures of the Magical Map. After many adventures and gaining new partners, Mario learned the full story of the X-Nauts. [[Sir Grodus]], their leader, had long planned to unlock the Thousand-Year and use the "cataclysm" locked inside to take over the world. Still, this did not explain why they continued to hold Peach after questioning. Tricking Mario into opening the door, Sir Grodus reached the cataclysm moments before the plumber and his friends. The cataclysm that had been sealed away by the Crystal Shards was in actuality an apocalyptic demon known as the [[Shadow Queen]]. She returned to her former self by possessing Princess Peach, and proceeded to wreak havoc upon the scene. Defeating Grodus, she turned her anger to Mario and the rest of the world. Mario was able to defeat her after the Crystal Stars gathered positive energy from their hidden locations and returning it to the scene. The light that resulted freed Peach from her prison momentarily, and she charged up Mario and his partners with her remaining power.
All locations but Peach's Castle can only be visited in the past.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
When Mario was lured to a remote mansion filled with ghosts located in [[Boo Woods]], [[King Boo]] kidnapped the plumber. With Luigi off saving his brother, the fate of the Mushroom Kingdom was questionable. Princess Peach was frantic as she feared for the worst. With the help of [[Professor Elvin Gadd]], Luigi was able to undo the damage caused by King Boo's gang and eventually corner King Boo. However, the king counterattacked by sucking Luigi into a world beyond a painting of Bowser. Much like the paintings that Bowser had placed in Peach's castle, the world beyond was of questionable integrity. King Boo appeared to have possessed Bowser. However, Bowser had not died, and thus King Boo was operating a [[False Bowser]]. Luigi and E. Gadd were able to trap King Boo and his False Bowser inside a painting. Mario was safely rescued and the brothers to their home, ensuring the continued protection of the kingdom. E. Gadd went on to benefit the world with his inventions.

{{Beanmap}}
About one year after the racing tournament, Princess Peach met with a Goodwill Ambassador from the Beanbean Kingdom at her castle. Much to the kingdom's surprise, the meeting was really an extensive plot to steal Princess Peach's voice. The perpetrator was an evil witch named [[Cackletta]] with whom the Beanbean Kingdom had been grappling with for years. Luckily, this attack had been forseen by [[Prince Peasley]] of the Beanbean Kingdom. He wasted no time in alerting Peach of the situation. A [[Birdo]] agreed to disguise herself as the princess and stand in for her on the day of the attack. The Birdo's voice was stolen by the witch and replaced with an explosive vocabulary. Every time she spoke, the Birdo would cause explosions in the castle. Bowser arrived shortly after the attack to kidnap Peach, but finding the disguised Birdo, he instead lent Mario and Luigi a hand in defeating Cackletta. The trio set off for the Beanbean Kingdom.


Yet, Peach could not notify her heroes of her true situation for security reasons. As soon as she received word of Cackletta's death at the hands of the Mario Bros., she rushed out to greet them. Almost immediately, she was kidnapped by [[Bowletta]], who was truly Bowser possessed by Cackletta's disembodied spirit. After a long battle in the Beanbean Kingdom, the brothers were able to save the Peach and defeat Cackletta by destroying her spirit. Bowser was saved in the process.
While Mario and Luigi are in the [[Soli-Tree]], they become trapped in an illusion of the Mushroom Kingdom by [[Reclusa]] but they manage to escape. Mario and Luigi return to the real Mushroom Kingdom after defeating Reclusa and restoring peace to Concordia.

Years ago, the Mushroom Kingdom was invaded and conquered by a race of aliens known as the [[Shroob]]s. Growing tired of life on the toxic, barren [[Planet Shroob]], they discovered the Mushroom Kingdom, and set out to conquer it using their expansive military.

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, who had traveled back in time via a [[Time Machine]]. The princess trapped the [[Elder Princess Shroob]] inside the [[Cobalt Star]], which powered the machine. Peach then destroyed the artifact and spread the [[Cobalt Shards|Cobalt Star Shards]] throughout the kingdom. The rest of the invasion and the search for the Shards was carried out by [[Princess Shroob]], the elder's younger sister.

The Mushroom Kingdom has inspired several stages in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. Two of these, both called [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom]] [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Kingdom]], are based off of the kingdom as it appeared in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', with usable [[Scale Lift|balance platforms]] in both stages, [[Warp Pipe]]s and [[POW Block]]s in ''Super Smash Bros.'', and [[? Block]]s and [[Brick Block]]s in ''Melee''. Despite its name, [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] from ''Melee'' is based off of [[Subcon]] as it appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (specifically the depiction in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''). All three of these stages feature 3-D versions of stage elements, such as blocks and platforms, while any characters are portrayed as flat 2-D images. The Japanese names of them instead name them as "Ancient Kingdom" as a tongue-in-cheek reference to their source games' relative age.


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 captured and brought to [[Toadwood Forest]], where their [[vim]] was sucked out of them to create fuel for the Shroobs' war fleet of [[Shroob UFO]]s.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''{{'}}s Adventure Mode, the first stage is also called [[Mushroom Kingdom (Adventure Mode)|Mushroom Kingdom]], where players have to get past Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and a team of [[Yoshi]]s to reach Princess Peach's Castle, where Peach and either Mario or Luigi are fought. Two Toads also appear, one at the Yoshi arena and one at the endpoint.


The Mushroom 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 Princess Shroob was defeated. The Elder Princess 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]] from the future and destroyed the [[Shroobified|handywork]] of the Shroobs, returning the kingdom and its inhabitants to their previous state. However, the physical destruction remained. The kingdom began reconstruction, finishing at a later date.
''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' features [[Mushroomy Kingdom]], or "Ancient-ish Kingdom" in Japanese. Similar to the visual gag of them being "ancient" by featuring pixelated graphics in previous games, this stage depicts worlds from that game as long-abandoned regions. Familiar structures are now old, worn-down ruins and the entire stage appears as a barren desert and cave. The stage depicts replicated versions of [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]] (and [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]] originally) when selected.

Deciding to cash-in on his popular image, Mario created the [[Mario Toy Company]] and released its first product, the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]. This wind up toy proved to be phenomenally successful, with demand overwhelming supply. As the company prepared a new shipment, [[Donkey Kong]] invaded the company factory and stole countless Mini Marios. Mario ran after Donkey Kong and eventually reclaimed the entire shipment.
In the film ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom is portrayed as an abstract world having floating objects, colorful skies and patterns embedded in the grass and hills, with Peach's Castle residing on a flower field.


====''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]====
===''Super Mario Bros.'' film===
The beginning of this game is similar to its prequel's - a theme park called [[Super Mini Mario World]] opened in the Mushroom Kingdom sells Mini Marios. When Donkey Kong arrived, he saw Pauline and fell in love with her. When Mario offered her a Mini Mario, Donkey Kong offered her a Mini Donkey Kong out of love. But Pauline chose the Mini-Mario, so Donkey Kong started to throw a tantrum. He stole Pauline out of anger so Mario couldn't be with her. Luckily, the Mini Marios Donkey Kong broke out of their containers served as allies to Mario. In the end, Donkey Kong and Mario are friends again, and continue with their lives.
In the 1993 ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film, President Koopa derisively calls Dinohattan "Mushroom Kingdom".

The Mushroom Kingdom has inspired several stages in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Two of these, both called [[Mushroom Kingdom (stage)|Mushroom Kingdom]], are based off of the kingdom as it appeared in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', with [[Warp Pipe]]s and [[POW Block]]s. Despite its name, [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' is based off of [[Subcon]] as it appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' features [[Mushroomy Kingdom]]. This stage indicates that in the alternate world of ''Super Smash Bros.'', the Mushroom Kingdom has become run down as a result of the epic battles that have been fought there and the fact that specific area of the kingdom has gotten old and worn down. Familiar structures are now ruins and the entire world appears as a barren desert. The stage depicts replicated versions of either [[World 1 (Super Mario Bros.)#World 1-1|World 1-1]] and [[World 1 (Super Mario Bros.)#World 1-2|World 1-2]].
====''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''====
The Mushroom Kingdom, specifically the [[Peach's Castle]] grounds, is the first area the player explores in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. It is completely inaccessible to explore afterwards.

[[File:MushroomKingdomLandscapeMovieTrailer.png|thumb|The Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''.]]
The Mushroom Kingdom is a monarchy ruled by the [[Princess Peach|Toadstool]] family. Currently, the ruler in power is [[Princess Peach]]. While [[Mushroom King|King Toadstool's]] exact role in the government has never been confirmed, he has seemingly ceased ruling after Bowser's first direct attack on the kingdom. However, the fact that Princess Peach is not the queen may indicate that he still has political presence.
In the animated film ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom is portrayed as having a landscape composed of grassy plains, giant mushrooms and floating landmasses, with a [[Toad Town|city]] and [[Peach's Castle]] being located on top of a mountain.

The [[Chancellor|Mushroom Chancellor]] remains in office for many years, allowing the royals to call on him for advice. In addition to his duties as adviser, the Chancellor may temporarily rule when the royal in power is to be away for an extended period of time. Princess Peach also employs many guards and attendants.
===''Princess Peach: Showtime!''===
In ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', the Mushroom Kingdom appears in the opening.


The kingdom's capital is [[Toad Town]]. Here, Princess Peach resides in a castle that is commonly referred to as [[Princess Peach's Castle]].

Princess Peach keeps a hoard of [[Toad (species)|Toads]] guards at her castle, but there is no evidence of an extensive military controlled by the Toadstools. During the Shroob Invasion, the Toadstools kept an extensive military, but it was quickly wiped out. Whether this organization has resumed is unknown. However, Mario, Luigi, and many other heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom have fought to save it and its princess countless times before. The Mario Bros. show no signs of stopping this trend. Currently, Princess Peach staffs and supports [[Toad Houses]] in major towns near Toad Town.

===Government===
The Mushroom Kingdom is ruled by [[Princess Peach]]. The kingdom's capital is [[Toad Town]]. Here, Princess Peach resides in [[Peach's Castle|her castle]]. Early material also includes her father, the kindly [[Mushroom King]], who is mentioned to rule alongside her. However, he largely does not appear later in the series.

Princess Peach keeps a horde of [[Toad (species)|Toad]] guards at her castle. However, Mario, Luigi, and many other heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom have fought to save it and its princess countless times before. Currently, Princess Peach staffs and supports [[Toad Houses]] in major towns near Toad Town.
The Mushroom Kingdom's population is very vast, consisting of hundreds of species. Most prevalent are Toads, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Boo]]s. 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 segregate themselves into different areas. For example, Toad Town's population is almost entirely made up of Toads, while [[Shiver City]] is inhabited by many [[Bumpty|Bumpties]].

Coming in three varieties ([[Coin|Gold Coin]], [[Red Coin]] (worth two coins), and [[Blue Coin]] (worth five coins)), Coins are often found scattered throughout the Kingdom for unknown reasons.

The Mushroom Kingdom mainly uses [[coin]]s for tender, referred to as Mushroom coins in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. Coins are often found scattered throughout the Kingdom. The coin has undergone several changes throughout the years; the three most prominent coin designs are the blank design, the star design, and the "|" design.
 
Compared to [[Beanbean Coin|Beanbean Coins]] from the Beanbean Kingdom, Coins are of little worth (their exact comparative worth is constantly fluctuating). It is unknown if this signifies a good economy in Beanbean or a bad one in the Mushroom Kingdom. It could also simply mean that the Mushroom Kingdom uses very small units of measurement compared to the Beanbean Kingdom in terms of currency.
 
Additionally, the [[Gold Bar|gold]] system featured in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' may additionally be used in the Mushroom Kingdom, although it is unconfirmed.

The Mushroom Kingdom is the primary setting of the Super Mario franchise, first appearing in Super Mario Bros. Its appearance varies from game to game, often coinciding with the genre. However, common characteristics of the kingdom that are shared across games are its tall, round hills, presence of floating objects such as ? Blocks and coins, Warp Pipes, striped grasslands, and layered dirt. The kingdom is ruled by Princess Peach and the primary inhabitants are Toads.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

In the Super Mario games, the Mushroom Kingdom is portrayed as a large country with many landscapes such as grassy plains, deserts, beaches, jungles, snowy tundras, mountains, cloudy areas, and volcanoes.

Recurring landmarks

Super Mario Bros.[edit]

In Super Mario Bros., Bowser invades the Mushroom Kingdom, transforms its inhabitants into various objects, and kidnaps Princess Peach in order to prevent her from reversing his spell. Mario or Luigi go to rescue her. There are 8 Worlds in the Mushroom Kingdom:

Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Peach's Castle in the introduction of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

According to Super Mario Bros. 3's instruction booklet, the Mushroom Kingdom serves as the entrance to the Mushroom World, where the main game takes place. Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 includes an opening cutscene that shows the interior of Peach's Castle.

Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]

The Mushroom Kingdom is mentioned in the instruction booklet for Super Mario World, which states that Mario and Luigi left for a vacation at Dinosaur Land, the game's main setting, after saving the Mushroom World in Super Mario Bros. 3. The opening cutscene Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 shows Mario and co. arriving at Dinosaur Land from the Mushroom Kingdom via hot air balloon.

Super Mario 64[edit]

In Super Mario 64, the locations were created by Bowser using the stolen Power Stars and can be accessed through paintings hung on the walls of Peach's Castle. The locations are as follows:

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

The Mushroom Kingdom makes no appearance in Super Mario Sunshine, although it is mentioned in the game's instruction booklet as a distant location from the Isle Delfino, the game's main setting. This is evident by the fact Mario and company take an airplane to the island.

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

The intro of New Super Mario Bros.
The Mushroom Kingdom in the introduction of New Super Mario Bros.

In New Super Mario Bros., the Mushroom Kingdom is the main location of the game, and has 8 worlds to traverse. Some world themes take inspiration from previous Mario series games, while others are completely new on their own.

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

The Mushroom Kingdom in Super Mario Galaxy

In Super Mario Galaxy, the Mushroom Kingdom appears at the beginning during the Star Festival before being attacked by Bowser, who abducts Peach, along with her castle. It appears again in Grand Finale Galaxy and its only mission, The Star Festival.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Peach's Castle in the opening cutscene of New Super Mario Bros. Wii

New Super Mario Bros. Wii retains the Mushroom Kingdom as the game's main location, and shares the same world themes as the previous game.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

The Mushroom Kingdom in Super Mario Galaxy 2

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Mushroom Kingdom appears at the beginning; however, it can only be visited once. It serves as the first area of the game and is where Mario meets Baby Luma and discovers Bowser's new plan to rule the universe.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

The Mushroom Kingdom returns in Super Mario 3D Land, and comes with more unique level and world themes unlike the New Super Mario Bros. series. Peach's Castle is seen at the beginning and end of the game, as well as in the background of World 1-1.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. 2 still takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom and has fewer worlds than previous games; however, some world themes are merged to accommodate.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Unlike previous installments in the New Super Mario Bros. series, in New Super Mario Bros. U and its port for the Nintendo Switch, the worlds of the Mushroom Kingdom have names:

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

The very beginning of Bowser's Fury.

In Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury, the Mushroom Kingdom appears at the beginning of the games. In the former game, Mario and friends return to the Mushroom Kingdom at the end of the credits.

Super Mario Run[edit]

A Kingdom Past in Super Mario Run

Super Mario Run prominently features the Mushroom Kingdom as game's main menu and as the focus of the Kingdom Builder mode.[1] The game usually refers to the Mushroom Kingdom with the phrase your kingdom, or sometimes the kingdom.[2] When Bowser kidnaps Peach in this game, he also destroys all of the buildings and scatters all of the Toads. Peach's Castle is wrecked, and is replaced by a tent. Some Thwomps were left in the area.

When loaded, the game opens on an area with Peach's Tent, a replacement version of Peach's Castle. Below it is a cobblestone crossroad marked with Peach's emblem. Two Toads operate menus: one for the notifications menu and a Toad wearing headphones for the menu governing playing music from the device's library. A Gift Box contains items granted through events. This area is bordered on the north and east by forests and hills, and on the west and south by water. A passage to the east is blocked off by a lake.

In Kingdom Builder, the player can purchase and place buildings and decorations to create a custom version of the Mushroom Kingdom. Thwomps act as obstacles that restrict building placement, but the player can earn Hammers to remove them.

In order to bring Toads back to the Mushroom Kingdom, players play the Toad Rally mode.[3] With more Toads of each color, the player can purchase more kinds of buildings, including five Rainbow Bridges that each add an adjacent area to the kingdom. Acquiring Toads also gradually rebuilds Peach's Castle.

The Rainbow Bridges extend the kingdom in each direction. East and southeast of the castle is more of the same landmass. West and southwest are two different landmasses located across the water. South is a set of seven islands in the water. One of these islands is large and has multiple places to position buildings, while another has a single place for a building.

If Peach's Tent or Peach's Castle is tapped, the player can look at a framed photo of the kingdom's initial state, titled A Kingdom Past. There are zoning laws that prevent too many Toads from staying in the Mushroom Kingdom at the same time.[4]

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

Main article: Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)

The Mushroom Kingdom appears as a mushroom-shaped island in Super Mario Odyssey. It appears in the opening cutscene, where Mario, Peach and Bowser are above Peach's Castle, and is unlocked as a Kingdom after completing the main story of the game.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]

The Mushroom Kingdom can be seen briefly at the beginning of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

The Mushroom Kingdom is not the setting for Super Mario Bros. Wonder; instead, the game takes place in the neighboring Flower Kingdom. However, in the game's opening sequence and first level, the Mushroom Kingdom is briefly visible in the background.

DIC cartoons[edit]

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, the Mushroom Kingdom, most commonly referred to as "Mushroomland," is a central plot point in the show; Mushroomland is apparently under the influence of King Koopa in the show. Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool spend the bulk of the series' episodes searching for someone or something that could free it from his grasp. Many regions of the Mushroom Kingdom in the series are inspired by locations from movies, fairy tales, books, and real-life.

Main article: Mushroom Kingdom U

The Mushroom Kingdom has inspired several stages in the Super Smash Bros. series. Two of these, both called Mushroom Kingdom, are based off of the kingdom as it appeared in the original Super Mario Bros., with usable balance platforms in both stages, Warp Pipes and POW Blocks in Super Smash Bros., and ? Blocks and Brick Blocks in Melee. Despite its name, Mushroom Kingdom II from Melee is based off of Subcon as it appeared in Super Mario Bros. 2 (specifically the depiction in Super Mario Advance). All three of these stages feature 3-D versions of stage elements, such as blocks and platforms, while any characters are portrayed as flat 2-D images. The Japanese names of them instead name them as "Ancient Kingdom" as a tongue-in-cheek reference to their source games' relative age.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee's Adventure Mode, the first stage is also called Mushroom Kingdom, where players have to get past Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and a team of Yoshis to reach Princess Peach's Castle, where Peach and either Mario or Luigi are fought. Two Toads also appear, one at the Yoshi arena and one at the endpoint.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl features Mushroomy Kingdom, or "Ancient-ish Kingdom" in Japanese. Similar to the visual gag of them being "ancient" by featuring pixelated graphics in previous games, this stage depicts worlds from that game as long-abandoned regions. Familiar structures are now old, worn-down ruins and the entire stage appears as a barren desert and cave. The stage depicts replicated versions of World 1-1 (and World 1-2 originally) when selected.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, a stage called Mushroom Kingdom U, based on the worlds from New Super Mario Bros. U, is featured.

Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen![edit]

In the film Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!, the Mushroom Kingdom is portrayed as an abstract world having floating objects, colorful skies and patterns embedded in the grass and hills, with Peach's Castle residing on a flower field.

Super Mario Bros. film[edit]

In the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film, President Koopa derisively calls Dinohattan "Mushroom Kingdom".

General information[edit]

Government[edit]

The Mushroom Kingdom is ruled by Princess Peach. The kingdom's capital is Toad Town. Here, Princess Peach resides in her castle. Early material also includes her father, the kindly Mushroom King, who is mentioned to rule alongside her. However, he largely does not appear later in the series.

Princess Peach keeps a horde of Toad guards at her castle. However, Mario, Luigi, and many other heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom have fought to save it and its princess countless times before. Currently, Princess Peach staffs and supports Toad Houses in major towns near Toad Town.
