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, and 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. 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. However, given the many connections between these different series, and that dimensional travel between these hypothetical alternate worlds has never been depicted, it is most likely they all exist on the Mushroom World.

Several small galaxies are in orbit around Mushroom World, including the Gateway Galaxy, the Good Egg Galaxy and Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor. Galaxies relatively close to Mushroom World on the map of the universe include the Honeyhive Galaxy, the Loopdeeloop Galaxy and the Flipswitch Galaxy.

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.
