Mushroom World

Mushroom World, as depicted in Super Mario Bros. 3.

Mushroom World is the name of the world 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 this Mushroom World. The Mushroom Kingdom is considered to be the "gateway" to the greater Mushroom World. As such, other lands that are associated with the Mushroom Kingdom also exist on Mushroom World, such as the Beanbean Kingdom, Sarasaland, Dinosaur Land, and Yoshi's Island. However, games and places less associated with the Mushroom Kingdom (and the main Mario series itself) are harder to place. It is sensible to believe that places visited in the Donkey Kong and WarioWare series are a part of Mushroom World, as characters from these locations often appear in the Mushroom Kingdom for kart races and sports events. However, it is possible these places exist in different worlds, as they are not explicitly linked to the Mushroom Kingdom, the gateway of Mushroom World. As such, some places are only inferred to be part of Mushroom World, as they are not associated with the Mushroom Kingdom, but characters from those places are associated with Mario himself. In either case, characters are able to travel between these distinct areas, even if they exist in different worlds.

Mushroom World is orbited by a variety of natural satellites. These satellites apparently have atmospheres similar to Mushroom World's, as Mario is able to breathe without the use of a helmet (unlike on the Planet Blobule, a planet separate from Mushroom World).

Although unconfirmed, it is likely that the worlds featured in other Nintendo franchises are a part of the same universe associated with Mushroom World. This explains why characters from other franchises appear on Mushroom World. It is even possible that Mushroom World and this Nintendo universe are a part of an even greater video game universe, given that characters from non-Nintendo franchises, such as Final Fantasy heroes and Pac-Man, have appeared on Mushroom World.

Is Mushroom World actually the Earth?

Mushroom World is considered to be a distinct entity from the Earth, as the geography and history of the two worlds are completely different. In games where the Earth is explicitly represented, such as Mario's Time Machine and Mario is Missing!, the Earth resembles the Earth we actually live on. We share this video game Earth's history, as well as its environments and other traits. Features of Mushroom World, such as the invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom by Bowser, or giant mushrooms growing to the size of trees, do not exist in games where Earth is represented. However, it is possible Mushroom World is an alternate version of Earth, given the similarities between the two. This is explicitly stated in the anime film The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach, Super Mario cartoons, Nintendo Adventure Books and Super Mario Bros. film. In these mediums, characters are able to travel between the two versions of Earth through dimensional gateways. However, this does not mean Mushroom World is Earth, just its equivalent in an alternate dimension.

Places not associated with the Mushroom Kingdom, such as Diamond City, may exist on Earth, if not Mushroom World or some other world. FUCKING DICKS OF ARABIA MARIO HUMPED PEACH AND LICKED HER VAGINA ON THE MUSHROOM STATE BUILDING HAHA!

• The various kingdoms of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
• Diamond City (may, in fact, exist on Earth)
• The large island chain from DK: Jungle Climber.

Worlds distinct from Mushroom World

These are worlds that are explicitly distinct from Mushroom World. However, this does not mean interaction between different worlds does not exist.

• Subcon is a world that exists in Mario's dreams.
• Earth is a planet separate from Mushroom World (although it is possible Mushroom World is an alternate version of Earth).
• The Factory of the Smithy Gang is an alternate dimension.
• The Shroob Planet, the home planet of the Shroobs, 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. 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.
• The lands of Wario: Master of Disguise are in an alternate TV dimension that can be reached via the Telmet.
• Planet Plantaen, home the banana alien Xananab.
• The various other worlds traveled to in DK: Jungle Climber, such as Glass Maze, Toybox and Veggie Patch.
• In Super Mario Galaxy, Mario travels to different planets across the galaxy.
