Near the end, Dimentio claims that Count Bleck does not mean it and he is actually going to destroy all worlds and not leave a single one, not even his own, but Tippi alerts him he is lying, causing Dimentio to fight Mario.

At the end of the game, Lord Blumiere and Lady Timpani (Count Bleck and Tippi's true forms) go to some other world where they presumably live happily ever after. After Mario and company all return to Flipside, Nastasia is sad Count left and cannot stop crying.

Dry Dry Kingdom

Dry Dry Kingdom is an ancient civilization that existed an unknown time ago in Dry Dry Desert; Dry Dry Kingdom is mentioned in Paper Mario by a Dryite living in Dry Dry Outpost, as well as by other characters, though not by name.

Dry Dry Kingdom is evidently a prosperous society ruled by a Nomadimouse named King Mousta. The subjects of King Mousta rose up against him and rebelled against his rule. Wishing to have a society akin to anarchy, they exiled him from Dry Dry Kingdom. King Mousta eventually struck back against his traitorous followers sometime after his impeachment, defeating them with those still loyal to him, thieves and bandits who would later go on to create the town of Dry Dry Outpost.

This war waged by Dry Dry Kingdom's inhabitants and King Mousta may have caused the destruction of Dry Dry Kingdom, or at least contributed to it. Currently, the only remains of Dry Dry Kingdom's existence are Dry Dry Ruins, which is guarded by Moustafa, a possible descendant of King Mousta or his second-in-command, who is a thief boss charged with guarding the ruins.

Eat at Joe's

Eat at Joe's on the time machine.

Eat at Joe's is a location which name is shown in any ending cutscene of the MS-DOS version for Mario's Time Machine. When Mario confronts Bowser, Bowser tries to use his timulator to escape. Eat at Joe's, as well as the Gobi Desert, are the only few comprehensible location names shown on the time machine's display, before Bowser settles on "Paradise" in the year 2000 (in the good ending, the timulator malfunctions and teleports him to the Cretaceous Period instead).

The term "Eat at Joe's", or Joe's Diner, is a common placeholder name for a fictional, small restaurant establishment owned by a hypothetical everyman.

When Luigi arrives, the town is ruled by a two-headed snake named Hizza, who demands regular sacrifices of the village's women. Luigi offers to don a ceremonial chiffon bride's dress and go in place of the mayor's daughter, who is next up. Jerry, the cherry-shaped Bob-omb, horrified by the sight of Luigi in a dress, followed him to try and stop him, but Hizza takes Luigi into his lair. Luigi darts around the cave and makes the snake eat itself, disappearing in a puff of smoke. After Luigi emerges with the Marvelous Compass piece that Hizza was guarding, the mayor offers his daughter's hand in marriage. Luigi considers it, but that night, while staying in the village, he decides against it, convinced that Princess Eclair is his future bride, and sneaks out of the town. Jerry follows Luigi and Blooey, making it his life mission to make sure that Luigi never dresses in drag again.

Luigi is directed to the Rapturous Ruins by the piece of the Marvelous Compass he gains in Jazzafrazz Town. He describes the ruins as "domed", and recalls that the interior was pure white, so that Luigi could not tell the difference between the floor and walls. Eventually, Luigi discovered a chamber containing a sleeping boy, Cranberry, in which he also met the mysterious character Screamy, who later joined him on his adventures, though Screamy is not mentioned in the Super Luigi series. After Luigi woke Cranberry, the last of the Luffs, and received a piece of the Marvelous Compass from him, both Cranberry and the ruins disappeared, and Luigi was pointed toward Hatesong Tower.

Squirpia is a long-forgotten kingdom mentioned in Super Paper Mario, that once existed in Outer Space. It is mentioned in-game that 1,500 years ago, the Tribe of Ancients visited Squirpina XIV, the then-queen of Squirpia, and entrusted her with the Blue Pure Heart. In order to protect the world, Squirpina hid the treasure in the Whoa Zone, an apparently important place to the kingdom, and proceeded to place her young son Squirps inside a hibernation capsule, so that, when the time came, he would be able to guide the heroes to the Pure Heart in order to collect it.

Squirps explains his story to the heroes at the end of Chapter 4; however, he does not make it clear how Squirpia fell, and so the reason is left unknown throughout the rest of the game. Following the defeat of the final boss, the young prince can be found speaking to a statue of his mother in the Whoa Zone, where he declares that he will restore his kingdom someday. He is never shown to accomplish this goal.

Scotland Yard is famous for being included in several fictional crime stories such as those involving the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, who happens to be Shroomlock's namesake.

Waffle Kingdom

Luigi mentioning the Waffle Kingdom

The Waffle Kingdom is a far away land that Luigi visits during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The Waffle Kingdom is ruled by Princess Eclair and her cabinet.

After Mario leaves home to find Princess Peach in the town of Rogueport, Luigi is once again left alone. However, a letter arrives for the Mario Bros., which Luigi cannot resist to peek at. The letter was from Minister Crepe, the Minister of the Waffle Kingdom. According to the letter, the lovely Princess Eclair was kidnapped by the Chestnut King and the kingdom needed assistance from the great hero Mario. However, since Mario was not around, Luigi went in his place.

When Luigi arrives in the Waffle Kingdom, he is given a piece of the Marvelous Compass. If Luigi could find all the pieces, he would be able to track down Princess Eclair. After much toil and trouble (and quite a bit of luck), Luigi collects all the pieces and heads to Hatesong Tower to find the princess. However, he actually finds the evil Chestnut King, and the two engage in an epic battle. Ultimately Princess Eclair appears and interrupts the battle. Apparently, the princess and the Chestnut King were lovers but the king was transformed into a monster by Minister Crepe, who was in fact a dark sorcerer. As it turns out, Crepe had orchestrated events so that Luigi would reassemble the Magical Compass for him. Once he had the compass, Crepe would use its power to conquer the Waffle Kingdom, saying the Luff empire will rise again. However, Luigi and his allies defeat the shadowy Crepe. As a result, peace is returned to the Waffle Kingdom.

Real locations

Locations that actually exist on Earth, or that originate in real mythology rather than being original to the Super Mario franchise.

Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa (Amharic: አዲስ አበባ, Ādīsi Ābeba) is the capital city of Ethiopia. When Luigi travels to Nairobi in Mario is Missing!, he does not know where he is; a businesswoman in the city gives him a hint by saying he is "in the largest city between Addis Ababa and Zanzibar." The city is also listed on the Globulator in all versions of the game, though it is not visitable.

Afghanistan

Afghanistan (Dari Persian: افغانستان, Afġānistān; Pashto: افغانستان, Afğānistān) is a country located between Central Asia and South Asia. The nation is notable for cycling through multiple governments following the overthrow of the monarchy in 1973 and for its historical reputation as the "graveyard of empires," owed to foreign powers consistently failing to achieve long-term military victories in the country.
