| | Earth first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong]]'' with Shigeru Miyamoto stating that "Donkey Kong is set in [[New York City|New York]]".<ref name="interview"/> |
| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Earth is shown primarily in the opening and ending cutscenes, with [[Peach's Castle]] [[Castle Gardens|Gardens]] being the first setting that [[Mario]] traverses through. Earth is first shown from space when Bowser kidnaps Peach, removes her castle from its foundation, and carries them both into space. Earth is also the setting of [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], due to it involving Mario returning to Peach's Castle Grounds in order to attend the uninterrupted [[Star Festival]].
| |
| | |
| Earth returns in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where it is shown in the background of [[World 1 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 1]] and the [[Grand World Map]]. The settings of subsequent worlds also resemble real places, such as the Solar System in World 2, the Orion Arm in World 3, the Milky Way galaxy in World 4, the Local Group in World 5, and a black hole/quasar in World 6. World S is exempt, due to it featuring a planet with star-shaped islands instead, as well as the backgrounds of the first two [[Bowser Jr.]] galaxies ([[Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker]] is the exception, due to it featuring a Sun in the background).

| [[File:World Star SM3DW.jpg|thumb|Earth, as seen in the background of [[World Star (Super Mario 3D World)|World Star]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''.]]

| Earth also appears in the backgrounds of [[World Star (Super Mario 3D World)|Worlds Star]], [[World Mushroom (Super Mario 3D World)|Mushroom]], and [[World Flower (Super Mario 3D World)|Flower]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', due to those [[world]]s being set in space. Upon completing [[Super Galaxy]] in World Star, [[Rosalina]] will be unlocked as a playable character. Like Rosalina, both [[Luma]]s and [[Star Bit]]s are also fittingly present. | |
| | |
| [[File:World Map SMO.png|thumb|left|Earth, as seen in ''Super Mario Odyssey''{{'}}s world map.]]
| |
| Earth is featured primarily in the game ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where Mario and [[Cappy]] must travel the world in a hat-shaped airship called the Odyssey in an attempt to both stop Bowser's wedding to Peach and to save Cappy's sister Tiara (who was also kidnapped by Bowser for the wedding). In ''Odyssey'', Earth looks completely different than how it appears in real life, with the western hemisphere featuring a landmass resembling Pangaea and the eastern hemisphere featuring landmasses resembling Laurasia and Gondwanaland, as well as islands shaped like a top hat, a Triceratops head, a flower, and a mushroom. The game features various kingdoms serving as stand-ins for real countries and cities such as London, England; Mexico; Greece; possibly Germany, New York City, NY; Russia, the French Riviera; Italy; and Japan.
| |
| | |
| Earth also makes an appearance in the background of the [[Moon Kingdom]], where it is seen rising from the horizon, while its southern hemisphere is seen during the escape sequence after the final boss fight, where Mario (controlling a captured Bowser), Cappy and Peach must try to find a giant [[spark pylon]] in order to escape the collapsing Wedding Hall. Additionally, the [[Odyssey]] features a globe that allows Mario to travel to a different kingdom by throwing Cappy at it.

|
| Earth appears in the background of the box arts for ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (Japanese version) and ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Its atmosphere can also be seen in the background during the battle against [[Raphael the Raven]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.
| | Miyamoto further states that its sequel, ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' is also set in [[New York City]], this time its sewer system.<ref name="interview"/> He also states that the Mario Bros. are "Italians" in New York.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101111140107/http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2010/11/qa-mario-creator-shigeru-miyamoto/1 Q&A: 'Mario' creator Shigeru Miyamoto]</ref> |

| | In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', most [[new course]]s are themed after cities and/or countries from Earth, featuring real-world landmarks, and many [[List of tours in Mario Kart Tour|tours]] are aptly named after such locations. The planet, as well as the {{wp|Andromeda Galaxy}}, can now be seen in the background of [[3DS Rainbow Road]]. |

| Official artwork for ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' depicts various characters racing and battling on the Earth's surface, visually representing the worldwide scope of the [[Nintendo DS]]' Wi-Fi capabilities.

| | |
| In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Earth is seen in the background of the [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] course, underneath the track. Players that fall off the course will fall towards the planet, appearing to start burning up in the atmosphere like a meteor before being saved by Lakitu. Earth also appears as a background for Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and the [[Mario Kart Channel]]. During matchmaking, the camera zooms in towards the surface to briefly highlight individual players, whose [[Mii]]s stand over their console's selected region. ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' also features Earth in the background for online features, including its own Mario Kart Channel.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]] is again set above Earth, along with a [[Blooper]] spaceship and [[Mario Kart TV|MKTV]] satellites floating in space. The planet can also be seen in the background of the [[Lunar Colony]] battle course in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. A globe of the Earth can be seen in the background of {{classic-link|GBA|Ribbon Road}}, due to it now taking place inside a child's bedroom. Earth also continues to be prominently featured as a visual for the online mode, and players in an online lobby gather atop its surface between matches.

| In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', most [[new course]]s are themed after cities and/or countries from Earth, featuring real-world landmarks, and many [[List of tours in Mario Kart Tour|tours]] are aptly named after such locations. The planet, as well as the {{wp|Andromeda Galaxy}}, can now be seen in the background of [[3DS Rainbow Road]]. The key art, loading screen (prior to version 2.0.0) and multiplayer menu for the game features Earth, appearing more cartoonishly with flat colors and visible latitude/longitude lines. It also resembles the planet's appearance in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', with some minor design differences. | |

| In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', the Earth can be seen in [[Diddy Kong]]'s eagle, albatross, and hole-in-one animations when he soars so high on his [[Barrel Jet]] out of joy that he ends up in Earth's atmosphere next to space, leaving him [[Fourth wall|staring at the camera]] comically confused.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', on Chapter 7-3 if either Mario or company jumps on [[Cyrrus]], they will be sent into orbit and back down to Earth, which is seen in the background.
| |
| | |

| ==Literature==
| |
| During the events of "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", aliens erroneously took Earth for a giant [[coconut]], and since they adored this kind of fruit, they took the planet with them, pulling it away from the sun. This resulted in a sudden drop of temperature all over the planet. When [[Donkey Kong]] and some of his friends talked to the aliens, they returned Earth back to its original position.

| |
| In "[[Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All]]", from the same magazine, Mario and Luigi traveled through space in search for a new spaceship. They finally found it on Earth (which Luigi referred to as "'''Planet Terra'''").
