Mushroom World

Mushroom World is the name of the planet Mario and his friends reside on. The planet is part of the Grand Finale Galaxy, which is one of many galaxies in the Mushroom Universe. Mushroom World is the greater setting of most of the games in the Mario series and sub-series. The Mushroom Kingdom, Dark Land, Star Haven, as well as various other lands and kingdoms associated with the Mushroom Kingdom, such as Dinosaur Land, the Beanbean Kingdom, and Sarasaland, all exist on the Mushroom World. However, it is harder to determine if locations with less connections to Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom exist on this planet or on another similar planet in a parallel universe (dimension). This includes certain locations from the Donkey Kong series and WarioWare series, such as the DK Isles, Timber's Island, and Diamond City, which may exist on Mushroom World, on the parallel world Earth, or on a world in another parallel dimension similar to both Mushroom World and Earth.

The Relationship Between Mushroom World And Earth
Mushroom World and Earth are almost always believed to be separate planets, though confusion does exist in the form of remarkably similar ecosystems and terrains, several species of animals and obvious human populations on Mushroom World.

In other media such as the various cartoon series and comics, Earth and Mushroom World were understood to be different versions of the same planet in separate universes. Mushroom World was noticeably cartoony and slightly surreal (eg. Pasta Land, Down Under Land). In most sources travel between the two planets was possible through warp pipes, a fact that has remained consistent throughout.

Additionally, on a few occasions in the cartoon series, Mushroom World was actually referred to as Earth.

Places not associated with the Mushroom Kingdom, such as Diamond City, may exist on Earth, if not Mushroom World or some other similar world in another dimension.

Inferred Lands of Mushroom World
These lands are thought to exist in the same world as Mario's, given that characters such as Wario and DK appear in games with Mario. However, these lands are not explicitly associated with the Mushroom Kingdom. As such, it is possible these lands exist on Mushroom World, on Earth, or in another parallel world.


 * Donkey Kong Island
 * Crocodile Isle
 * Northern Kremisphere
 * Timber's Island
 * The various kingdoms of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
 * Diamond City
 * The large island chain from DK: Jungle Climber.

Worlds distinct from Mushroom World
The following is a list of planets separate from Mushroom World.

Other worlds in the Mushroom Universe

 * The Shroob Planet, the home planet of the Shroobs, is a world far away from Mushroom World.
 * In Super Mario Galaxy, Mario travels to different galaxies containing many other (often small) planets. These galaxies are spread throughout the Mushroom Universe.
 * The Mushroom Colonists' Planet is a desert planet located somewhere in the Mushroom Universe. The barren planet was colonized by Mushroom People from Mushroom World.
 * Future Fun Land is Wizpig's home planet far from Mushroom World (and may actually be in a different universe).
 * Planet Plantaen, home of the banana alien Xananab is distinct from Mushroom World (and, like other DK locations, may be in another dimension).

Worlds in other dimensions

 * Earth is Mushroom World's "double" in a parallel universe. It can sometimes be accessed via Warp Pipes.
 * In Super Paper Mario, Flipside, a place "between dimensions" is explored by Mario as well as other characters, and also Flopside, Flipside's counterpart, which is equally explored by Mario & Co. 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 the Mushroom Universe.
 * The lands of Wario: Master of Disguise are in an alternate TV dimension that can be reached via the Telmet.
 * The various worlds traveled to in DK: Jungle Climber, such as Glass Maze, Toy Box and Veggie Patch, exist in different dimensions.
 * In Wario Land: Shake It!, a universe named the Shake Dimension is contained within an ancient globe located in a museum somewhere on Mushroom World.
 * The Factory is the home universe of the Smithy Gang.
 * Subcon is a dimension that exists in Mario's dreams.
