Mushroom World

Mushroom World is the name of the planet Mario and his friends live on. It is the setting of many games in the Mario series and sub-series. The Mushroom Kingdom, Star Haven, as well as all the lands featured in Super Mario Bros. 3, are all a part of the Mushroom World. As such, other lands that are associated with the Mushroom Kingdom also exist on Mushroom World, such as the Beanbean Kingdom, Sarasaland, Dinosaur Land, and Yoshi's Island. It is however, harder to determine if places in the Donkey Kong series such as the DK Isles or Crocodile Isle or in the WarioWare series (Diamond City) are located on Mushroom World. It is sensible to assume that they are, because several characters appear in the mainstream Mario series.

Mushroom World is orbited by a vast chain of small planetoids, as seen in Super Mario Galaxy. Mario appears to be able to breathe normally despite the lack of oxygen in this game, though in others he cannot. This may be explained by the presence of the Luma in his cap.

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 continuities travel between the two planets was possible through warp pipes, a fact that has remained consistent throughout.

Additionally, on a few occassions in the cartoon series, Mushroom World was actually referred to as Earth, although this may be due to the fact that various writers were unaware of the planet's actual name, and didn't want to confuse the viewers.

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

In Mario Kart Wii, the Rainbow Road appears to be above the planet Earth. In the distance we can see different planets in the Solar System, such as Saturn.
