World

A World is a group of levels in Mario games. In Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, each world always has exactly four levels, and in Super Mario Bros. 2 each world has three (except the final world, which only has two). However, starting in Super Mario Bros. 3, most games have a varying number of levels. In some three-dimensional Mario games, worlds are no longer used; now each level stands alone (but each level is sometimes referred to as a world), and the missions are either referred to as stars or episodes. In earlier games, worlds were simply numbered "World 1", "World 2", etc. Super Mario Bros. 3 was the first Mario game to give the worlds distinct names, though some later games return to the standard numerical naming.

In general terms, a "world" refers to any large area of land and space marked off from other regions. As such, "world" may refer to a politically or geographically distinct region of land (such as Desert Land or Chocolate Island), a planet, or even an entire galaxy.

Super Mario Odyssey
In this game, worlds are known as "kingdoms" (much like in Super Mario Land), and the world map is depicted as a globe showing the Odyssey's current trajectory. Mario can access the world map by throwing Cappy onto a smaller model of the globe located on the Odyssey's hull. The globe depicts a planet vaguely resembling Earth, although the globe's continents look different: the western hemisphere features a landmass resembling Pangaea, as well as islands resembling a mushroom (the Mushroom Kingdom), a top hat (the Cap Kingdom), and a Triceratops head (the Cascade Kingdom); while the eastern hemisphere features landmasses resembling Laurasia and Gondwanaland, respectively. Interestingly enough, the Moon's maria looks just like in real life, although located on the southern hemisphere instead on the side facing the real Earth.
