Talk:Mushroom World

Earth: a different planet?
I'm sorry if I've missed something, but I'm pretty sure there is no solid evidence for that concept. I could actually argue that they are part of the same planet: first off, Mario lived in Brookland for a while, right? Then, between Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros. was the arcade Mario Bros. Considering that warp pipes have never made people travel to different planets, I don't know how or when the Mario bros. would have gotten to the Mushroom Kingdom if it were on another planet.

Perhaps it is an alternet dimention, like Smithy's factory?

Now, I don't know much about Mario's Time Machine, but that could provide the evidence we need one way or another.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone. Truth is, I'm not sure... so that's why I posted this :) -Stumpers


 * In Mario's Time Machine, Mario travels from the Mushroom World to Earth via the said time machine. Although the Mushroom World could be in a different dimension, it would still technically be it's own planet. Additionally, in the Super Mario Super Show cartoons, Earth and the Mushroom World are two distinct worlds, each one connected by warp pipes. In the cartoons, Mario lived in Brooklyn and was transported to the Mushroom World via a warp pipe. Throughout the series, Mario and Luigi repeatedly attempted to return to Earth. So, ultimately, the Mushroom World may be an alternate reality of Earth. The Mushroom World would be a planet in this different reality, and somehow be connected to Earth, seeing as Mario and Luigi were born in the Mushroom World, raised in Brooklyn, then returned to the Mushroom World later in their lives. -- Son of Suns


 * I'll explain how this is relatent in a second: Did the time machine in Mario's Time Machine take people anywhere as well as any time? If so, that would support the theory of the different planets, in that it ditracts from the single planet theory.  Finally: I think we may get more info by finding out more about Cranky Kong and Pauline, who also were in Brooklyn but now live in MK. -Stumpers


 * The time machine could travel to different places, as it went directly to the USA, Egypt, and even the Moon (the Earth's Moon). Also, as indicated in Donkey Kong Land, the events of the orginal Donkey Kong took place in Big Ape City, an urban area of Donkey Kong Island, which is a part of the greater Mushroom World. -- Son of Suns


 * Wait... so if they took place in Big Ape City, then why is there an article here? Shouldn't it at least note that Nintendo re-wrote the story of Donkey Kong? -Stumpers


 * What do you mean exactly? -- Son of Suns


 * Sorry. I'm talking about the Brooklyn article.  My bad.  As we know from Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong (from Mario Party or DK: Jungle Beat) is not the same as the on in Arcade Donkey Kong.  This seems like another thing like that, where the story was rewritten part way through the series.  So, I'm wondering if we should note that instead of explaining that Brooklyn WAS part of the series until that point. -Stumpers


 * The Brooklyn article should be changed to reflect any canon information. After the canon info is in the main body of the article, a Retcon section can be added to inform people on the change of canon. -- Son of Suns

They HAVE to be different planets, as Earth has one moon, but Mushroom World has two moons.


 * Well, no one's brought up the fact that there isn't magic in this world (not like in MK, I mean) and there is no way a human could jump like Mario, or the fact that the Mushroom Kingdom doesn't exist on our planet in reality. I'm gonna argue and say the moon thing is along those lines.  Besides, the moon you guys are talking about was the size of a meteor, if that.  So perhaps the Mushroom ppl consider it a moon while we don't?  Some thing to think about when using it for the article, y'know? -Stumpers

Is anybody forgetting something... you know, the fact that there are Living Mushrooms, walking turtles with (Cool) shoes, AND Blocks, clouds, hills, etc. etc. with eyes! Maxlover2 no offense to anyone.

Different Name
This article should only contain information about the Mushroom World that appears in Super Mario Bros. 3, and we should think of a conecture name for the world Mario lives in.

The Mushroom World is not the official name for the world they live in correct? Even thought most of the games take place in the Mushroom Kingdom, if the games took place in the Beanbean Kingdom woukd this article be called The Bean World? Am I correct that we should change it? Paper Jorge

Should I add SMB3 info? Paper Jorge

Yes the term is conjectural until someone can find an official source.

Isn't Mushroom World only the place in Super Mario Bros. 3 not the actual planet Mario lives in? Paper Jorge

The Mushroom World is the term used in Super Mario Bros. 3 to describe the greater area beyond the Mushroom Kingdom. In the game, the Mushroom World encompassed every kingdom, including Dark Land. By extension to other games, any land that is part of this greater area beyond the Mushroom Kingdom would be part of the Mushroom World, including the Beanbean Kingdom. For the time being, this is the most canonical term we have for describing Mario's planet. Hopefully Super Mario Galaxy will shine some light on this question. -- Son of Suns

Diamond City
Although this stuff is about to be moved to another wiki, (Which I am against) shouldn't Diamond City from the Wario-Ware series be here? - Hyper Mushroom

Yes of course. Also this won't be moved to the Wario Wiki. Paper Jorge

Thanks. And I meant Diamond City being moved, not the Mushroom World.

I know some proof that Diamond City is on earth by my Favorite guy, 9-Volt. think about this. 9-Volt thinks Mario is a Video game character just like we do. if it was in the Mushroom World, he would know he is real. respond if you understood that, than tell me what I just said. ;) no, just joking. but really, was that confusing? for once, I think it isn't. Maxlover2


 * Note that the Mushroom World, Earth, and Diamond City articles all say that Diamond City may be on Earth. Also, video game characters play video games of people in their world all the time. DK had to play the original Donkey Kong in DK 64, and Paper Mario was one of the favorite games of the Toad kid in Petalburg (even though the kid met the real Mario as well). -- Son of Suns

oh. 9-Volt x8 :) he lost a life :) Max2 that was... weird.

YA RLY. SPEK FR YRSLF.


 * Actually Diamon City is a city in Arkansas :O. SERIOUSLY. Click here to see the universe. SuperLuigi821 Oh you let the hat out of the bag, Big Top!

SMRPG Mushroom World?
Is the world of Super Mario RPG comparable to the Mushroom World. Or is it some different entity? - 09:08, 13 June 2007 (EDT)


 * It seems sorta like a world, so we might be able to call it our Mushroom World, but then again, I once heard some old promotional material refer to it all as the "Mushroom Kingdom", even though it seems to be more like different countries... That promotional material came out before the game did, and there are no in-game references to what kind of governmental unit the SMRPG lands are in, so I guess we (or at least I) just don't know.


 * The "Mushroom Kingdom" in SMRPG was only a small town. Almost everything, even Mario's Pad, was outside of it. - 09:25, 13 June 2007 (EDT)


 * Yeah, I know that; I wasn't talking about anything in-game; 'twas promotional material (actually a Nintendo Power entry) I was thriving on. Considering that it was just a little town, though, I suppose we could pretty safely call the whole thing the Mushroom World.


 * AURGH! Never mind, I was confusing this with the Mushroom Planet. XP Please forgive me... Anyway, now that I'm realizing this, I don't really think the SMRPG world is too much like the Mushroom World, but possibly vaguely similar... Anyway, sorry.

Paper Mario
In Paper Mario, a Boo in Boo's Mansion, the one who appears after you get the boots, refers to the Mushroom World, as in saying things are hidden all over the Mushroom World. Think this should be noted? -- Sir Grodus

Sure. 16:36, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

So, um, does anyone else think that the Mushroom World the Boo references is the Mushroom Planet? -- Sir Grodus

Hold on a sec...he says "Mushroom World" - with the "M" and "W" capitalized. If this is true, I don't think he is referring to the Mushroom World mentioned in Super Mario Bros. 3, but the planet itself. Upon confirmation, I think we should merge Mushroom Planet and Mushroom World. Mushroom World seems to be the best name we have for Mario's world. -- Son of Suns

Oh, and get an exact quote - this could really clarify what we label Mario's world. -- Son of Suns

I can probably get the exact quote tonight, I'm pretty sure the Boo stays in place and says the same thing over and over for the duration of the game. -- Sir Grodus

Yeah, i guess your right, most PM charactures in the series say the same thing over and over again untill you do something Sry I never played PM but I've seen three seconds of the start of  the game!

I think if the quote refers to the proper noun "Mushroom World", she should merge the Mushroom Planet and Mushroom World articles, and begin using the term Mushroom World to describe Mario's world. Here are the reasons (assuming the quote is true):


 * The term Mushroom World will have been used in more than one game.
 * The term Mushroom World refers to many kingdoms and lands in Super Mario Bros. 3. It a huge area which many different environments.  It very much resembles a planet.
 * The Mushroom Kingdom is described as being the entryway to the Mushroom World in Super Mario Bros. 3. Paper Mario opens up into a much greater world.  Most regions simply loosely affilated with the Mushroom Kingdom, but some areas in the game are beyond the scope of the kingdom, such as Star Haven, which exists far in the sky.  Star Haven is a part of Mario's world, but not part of the Mushroom Kingdom.  Thus Paper Mario takes place in both the Mushroom Kingdom and the Mushroom World.  This would also support that the Mushroom Kngdom is part of the Mushroom World, as Paper Mario largely takes place in the kingdom (and is filled with hidden things).
 * The name "Mushroom Planet" is a conjectural term - it is based on a quote from the movie, not the video games.

I can't think of any other reason to use a different name for Mario's world. -- Son of Suns

So here's the quote - "There are hidden panels on the ground all over Mushroom World, so keep an eye out for them." - Notice the lack of a "the" between "over" and "Mushroom". -- Sir Grodus

Oh, so we should be saying "Mushroom World" instead of "the Mushroom World" (as we say "Mars", not "the Mars"). I think this evidence warrants a merge with the Mushroom Planet article. -- Son of Suns
 * Does that mean we can delete the conjecture header? 00:01, 11 December 2007 (EST)

Super Smash Bros. and the Nintendo universe
Should Smash Bros. really be mentioned in the part about the theory that Nintendo game-worlds exist in the same universe? The Smash Bros. series makes it pretty clear that the actual Nintendo characters themselves are NEVER the ones fighting: it's actually just a bunch of dolls (in the first game) or figurines (in Melee and Brawl) that were somehow brought to life. Heck, Brawl even has the "trophies fighting" part mentioned on its official website (the "In this world, trophies fight" update, for example--and the use of "in this world" seems to imply that Smash Bros. might not be part of the normal Mario/Nintendo universe at all.) Wario&#39;sFalconPAUNCH! 00:31, 11 September 2007 (EDT)


 * Good point. Changing.  That doesn't mean they couldn't be in the same world, but sometimes it's better to leave some things unsaid.  -- Son of Suns

DK Lives on (an) Earth
So yeah, theres a zoom-out of the planet the Kongs, Kremlings, etc. live on in DK: Jungle Climber, and the planet shown is quite clearly Earth, with places such as Australia and Asia being seen, should this be noted? -- Sir Grodus


 * For now, I think things are fine. I think Mushroom World could look like Earth from space, as shown in other games.  This is mentioned in the article (they may be alternate versions of each other).  But the article also says DK may not be on Mushroom World, but a different world.  I think we have our bases covered.  Does the game make references to Earth's history and insert itself into that continuity?  Does Donkey Kong save George Bush in the end?  If that were to happen, it would be more clear that DK lives on Earth.  Until then, we are fine saying maybe he's in Mushroom World, maybe he's in another world (possibly the Earth featured in Mario is Missing!, or a different Earth). -- Son of Suns

Ending of Super Mario Galaxy
In Super Mario Galaxy, after you beat the game, it zooms out showing the Mushroom World looks very much like Earth. Is this proof of somekind?
