Dinohattan

Dinohatten is the Super Mario Bros. (movie)'s equivalent to the Mushroom Kingdom.However it differs drastically from it's video-game counterpart. Dinohatten was originally an alternate dimension, that was presumably uninhabited. Eventually, a mateorite hit the planet Earth, and forced the dinosaurs into the dimension. Once there, they evolved into sentinet creatures, and (again presumably) built a city and gave the dimension it's name.

Region
Except for one large city, Dinohatten is mostly a desert location. The city that it does have seems to be made up of one large slum, with the only eloquent place being Koopa's Palace. After the De-Evolution of the Mushroom King, a thick web of fungus spread over the city, adding to it's unattractiveness. The city of Dinohatten is based off of the real world cities of Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Inhabitants
Although most of the inhabitants of Dinohatten are evolved dinosaur's, some of them seem to be an evolved species of Mushroom, such as the Mushroom King and Toad. Regular Dinosaur's also appear in the movie, and are treated as pets or wild animals. Interestingly, wheter a creature evolved from Dinosaur's or Mushroom's, every sentinent creature can be transformed into a Goomba. Also interestingly, despite the fact that the Mushroom King is evolved from fungus, Princess Daisy is a half-dinosaur. This may mean that Daisy's mother was an evolved dinosaur.

Politics
Dinohatten was originally ruled by the Mushroom King and his unnamed wife. However, the Koopa King (a citizen who had evolved from a Tyrannosaurus Rex) turned the Mushroom King into fungus with his De-Evolutionizer. The Mushroom King's wife used a magical crystal to flee to Earth with the Egg that held her baby, (Princess Daisy), and was able to leave it at the doorstep of a cathedral before being murdered by the Koopa King. With the king and queen gone, the Koopa King announces himself and his wife Lena the new rulers of Dinohatten.

Many citizens (including Toad) vehemently protest the dictatorship, but most of the protesters are caught, turned into Goomba's, and added to Koopa King's army.

The Koopa King, however, has bigger plans than the conquest of Dinohatten. He plans to take over Earth. To send his army to earth, he needs the crystal that Daisy's mother used to go to earth, but it is still with Princess Daisy. The Koopa King sends his cousins Iggy and Lemmy to kidnapp her and retrieve the crystal. They succeed, but did not count on being followed back to Dinohatten by Mario and Luigi.

Eventually the Koopa King is usurped, the Mushroom King is restored to his proper form, and he returns to his duties as king, along with Princess Daisy.

At the end of the movie, a new threat appears in Dinohatten, setting up a sequel that never came.

Trivia

 * At one point, the Koopa King refers to Dinohatten as a "Mushroom Planet".
