The '''Mushroom World''' is an area with eight countries in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The [[Mushroom Kingdom]] serves as a gateway to these lands. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopalings]] have taken over the other seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World. They stole the [[Magic Wand]]s of the [[kings]] of each domain and transformed them into various creatures. While [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] eventually defeat them and restore the kings to normal, Bowser himself returns to the Mushroom Kingdom in their absence and kidnaps [[Princess Peach]] once again. He is later thwarted in [[Dark Land|his own territory]].


'''Mushroom World''' is the name of the planet [[Mario]] and his friends live on. It is the setting of many games in the Mario series and sub-series.  The [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Star Haven]], as well as all the lands featured in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', are all a part of the Mushroom World. As such, other lands that are associated with the Mushroom Kingdom also exist on Mushroom World, such as the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], [[Galaxy Kingdom]], [[Sarasaland]], [[Dinosaur Land]], and [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]]. It is however, harder to determine if places in the [[Donkey Kong]] series such as the DK Isles or Crocodile Isle or in the [[WarioWare]] series (Diamond City) are located on Mushroom World.

In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', it is stated during the ending that Mario and [[Yoshi]] departed from [[Jewelry Land]] to return to the Mushroom World, where the princess awaits them. Furthermore, "Mushroom World" is sometimes used to refer to the Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Paper Mario]]''; the kingdom went under that name in the original Japanese script, but the English localization substituted most instances with the more common Mushroom Kingdom to fit the context.<ref>{{cite|publisher=FC2.com|language=ja|url=hakuda2.web.fc2.com/wario/mario/4.html|title=マリオストーリーの攻略★|accessdate=August 7, 2024}}</ref> Similarly, the Japanese version of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] manual of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' uses "Mushroom World" to refer to Mario, Luigi, and Peach's homeland in a direct reference to ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', which was changed to "Mushroom Kingdom" in the official English localization.<ref>{{cite|url=www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~yamasai/story/s-supermarioworld.htm|title=スーパーマリオワールド|publisher=Biglobe|language=ja|accessdate=August 7, 2024}} A transcript of the Japanese ''Super Mario World'' manual showing the reuse of 「キノコワールド」 ''Kinoko Wārudo'' (Mushroom World) from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the Mushroom World is divided into eight lands, seven of them with individual kings that were usurped by the seven Koopalings, and the eighth land, [[Dark Land]], being Bowser's home domain and the location of [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]]. The [[Warp Zone]] is considered World 9 in the game, but it is not confirmed to be an official part of the Mushroom World. Likewise, it is unknown where [[World-e]] is located.

Mushroom World and Earth are almost always believed to be separate planets, though confusion does exist in the form of remarkably similar ecosystems and terrains, several species of animals and obvious human populations on Mushroom World.
==Names in other languages==
 
{{foreign names
In other media such as the various cartoon series and comics, Earth and Mushroom World were understood to be different versions of the same planet in separate universes. Mushroom World was noticeably cartoony and slightly surreal (eg. [[Pasta Land]], [[Down Under Land]]). In most continuities travel between the two planets was possible through warp pipes, a fact that has remained consistent throughout.

Additionally, on a few occasions in the cartoon series, Mushroom World was actually referred to as Earth, although this may be due to the fact that various writers were unaware of the planet's actual name, and didn't want to confuse the viewers.

The following is a list of planets separate from Mushroom World.
 
* [[Earth]] is a planet separate from Mushroom World.
* The [[Shroob Planet]], the home planet of the [[Shroob]]s, is a world far away from Mushroom World.
* In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', [[Flipside]], a place "between dimensions" is explored by Mario as well as other characters, and also [[Flopside]], Flipside's counterpart, which is equally explored by Mario & Co. This game also contains an entire planet that exists in a different dimension: [[Planet Blobule]]. In fact, the game contains many other dimensions distinct from Mushroom World.
* [[Future Fun Land]] is [[Wizpig]]'s home planet far from Mushroom World.

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

In Super Mario Bros. 3, the Mushroom World is divided into eight lands, seven of them with individual kings that were usurped by the seven Koopalings, and the eighth land, Dark Land, being Bowser's home domain and the location of his castle. The Warp Zone is considered World 9 in the game, but it is not confirmed to be an official part of the Mushroom World. Likewise, it is unknown where World-e is located.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

The back of the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Volume 1 DVD box mentions that Mario and Luigi had been transported into the Mushroom World from Brooklyn.[4] However, as shown on other home video release boxes, this was mistaken for the Mushroom Kingdom, which is also alternatively referred to as "Mushroomland" in the cartoon itself and related comic series.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

The Mushroom World is the main setting in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.
