The '''Mushroom World''' was the name for the greater world beyond the relatively small [[Mushroom Kingdom]], as depicted during the events of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The Mushroom World was composed of seven kingdoms, each ruled by a [[Mushroom King]]. The seven kingdoms were: [[Grass Land]], [[Desert Land]], [[Water Land]], [[Giant Land]], [[Sky Land]], [[Ice Land]] and [[Pipe Land]]. [[Dark Land]], the home of the [[Koopa Kingdom]], was the last land visited in the game and may also have been a part of the Mushroom World.

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]].


However, the word "Mushroom World" is also the conjectural name of the planet composed of most of the lands, kingdoms, and islands seen and mentioned throughout the [[Mario]] series, including the Mushroom Kingdom and all the lands depicted in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. This Mushroom World should not be confused with the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] which is just one kingdom in a greater world. Additionally, the Mushroom World should not be confused with the [[Marioverse]]. The Mushroom World is a specific place while the Marioverse encompasses everything related to Mario. For example, the land of [[Subcon]] is not part of the Mushroom World, as it is a world that exists in dreams. However, Subcon is part of the Marioverse.

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.

Additionally, the Mushroom World is orbited by two [[Moon|moons]], both smaller than Earth's moon. The larger can be traversed in several "screens," and the smaller can be covered in a few seconds. Mario has visited both. In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Mario was shot to the large moon to reach the [[X-Naut Fortress]] and the last [[Crystal Star]]. In ''[[Yoshi's Island]]'', [[Yoshi]] and [[Baby Mario]] were kicked to the small moon, where they had to fight [[Raphael the Raven]]. The smaller one is extremely dense for its size, having gravity similar to the planet's. In addition, both apparently have atmospheres similar to the Mushroom World's.

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 Wands 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 his own territory.

While the Mushroom World originally seemed to exclude the Mushroom Kingdom,[1] later uses of the term apparently count Princess Peach's sovereignty as well. 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.[2] Similarly, the Japanese version of the 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.[3]

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.
