The Mushroom Earth is an alternate Earth,[1] which encompasses the Mushroom World continent, which encompasses the Mushroom Kingdom, where Mario and his friends live. The planet is the setting of many Mario games. In some media and games, it has a connection to our Earth, with certain real world locations between the two merged in some instances.

Naming[]

Attention Mario Wiki users!: This section is short or lacks sufficient information. We would appreciate it if you help the Mario Wiki by expanding it.

Description[]

A notable continent on the planet is called the Mushroom World which houses the country of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Other lands that are associated with the Mushroom Kingdom exist outside of the Mushroom World continent but on Mushroom Earth planet, such as the Beanbean Kingdom, Sarasaland, Dinosaur Land, Yoshi's Island, Rogueport, and Isle Delfino. It is however, harder to determine if locations in the Donkey Kong franchise, such as Donkey Kong Island or Crocodile Isle, or in the WarioWare series, particularly Diamond City, are located on Mushroom Earth planet. It is sensible to assume that they are, because several characters appear in the Mario franchise.[citation needed]

The Mushroom Earth planet 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.

Super Mario Sunshine[]

Mario Sunshine Mushroom Earth Flight Map

Flight map of the Mushroom Earth in Super Mario Sunshine.

Mushroom Earth appears as a flight map setting on the Toad Express, flying its destination to Isle Defino. During the opening cutscene it is shown that many islands around the Earth's continent are surrounded by archipelagos shaped like animals. Such as: a dolphin (north), a crab (southwest), a sea turtle (east), a jellyfish (northeast), a mola (northwest) and a small fish (south). It is implied Isle Delfino is located in the Earth's equator at the center left, however this was later retconned from an official atlas promotional map from Super Mario Odyssey, placing it in the southern hemisphere, northwest of the Mushroom Kingdom.[2]

Super Mario Galaxy[]

Due to those two games being set in space, the Mushroom Earth is often seen in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. In the former game, it is shown primarily in the opening and ending cutscenes, where it is the location where the Star Festival is held, and is first shown from space when Bowser kidnaps Peach and removes her castle from its foundation and carries them both into space, causing Mario to follow them into space as well. Additionally, Mushroom World is the setting of Grand Finale Galaxy, the final galaxy in the game due to it involving Mario returning to the Mushroom Kingdom.

The Mushroom Earth also returns in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where it is the main setting of the game's first world, while other real places in space are featured as the settings of later worlds (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) except for World S, which features a planet with star-shaped islands instead, as well as in the backgrounds of the first two Bowser Jr. galaxies (Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker is the exception, which features a Sun in the background instead).

Super Mario 3D World[]

The Mushroom Earth also appears in the backgrounds of Worlds Star, Mushroom, and Flower in Super Mario 3D World, again due to those levels being set in space, explaining Rosalina's appearance in this game.

Other appearances[]

Mario Kart series[]

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

In Mario Kart Wii, Earth appears while the player is waiting in the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and in the Rainbow Road course of the Special Cup. The planet is located in the background of the course, underneath the track. If the players accidentally fall off the course, they will fall to the void by the gravity of the planet, instead of floating in space.

In Mario Kart 7, like Mario Kart Wii, Earth appears while the player is waiting in the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It is also there in the Mario Kart Channel.

In Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Earth is still shown when the player plays online. Also, like Rainbow Road in Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 8's Rainbow Road is set above Earth, along with a Blooper spaceship and MKTV satellites floating in space.

Wario refers to the area below the Awazon as "deep within the Earth" in the manual of Virtual Boy Wario Land.

During the events of the Club Nintendo comics "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 the comic "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").

In Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, Earth can be seen in the background during Asteroid Belt and the fight with Sumo Kong.

Mario Party[]

In Mario Party 7 and Mario Party 8 (in a minigame in the latter), the Earth can be seen. In Mario Party DS, there is another minigame where players run on a globe and shoot opponents.

Super Paper Mario[]

In Super Paper Mario, Chapter 7-3 if either Mario, or company jumps on the giant cloud "Cyrrus", they will be sent into orbit and back down to The Overthere planet which is seen in the background. The planet bears quite identical to Mushroom Earth,

Super Mario Bros. (1993)[]

In the Super Mario Bros. film, an alternate, unnamed version of Earth is revealed to exist known as the Dino World; this parallel Earth was brought into creation when a meteorite struck the true Earth, causing spatial and dimensional disturbances, resulting in the creation of the alternate Earth, which the dinosaurs, at least those who weren't killed, and a few other creatures were flung to.

On this Earth, various types of dinosaurs evolved into humanoid creatures, though some, such as Yoshi, seemed to have retained their reptilian forms. Aside from one rundown city, Dinohattan, this Earth is a desert wasteland, lacking various resources.

Super Nintendo World[]

When you enter Super Nintendo World by way of the giant Warp Pipe, Guests are technically transported to here.

Locations[]

Mushroom World
There are many lands associated with the Mushroom Kingdom and thus the greater Mushroom Earth. These lands appear in the Mario series of games, as well as some spin-off titles. Some are from the Donkey Kong franchise.

Trivia[]

  • While there is no official name for the planet besides it being described as another Earth where the Mushroom Kingdom is from,[1] fans had previously dubbed the planet "Plit". Some others, however, have named the planet Kinoko (from the Japanese word for "mushroom").
