List of implied locations
The List of Implied Locations is a list of places, kingdoms, and zones that have not physically appeared up in any form of media to this point in time. Regardless of their lack of appearance, the implied Locations have been mentioned at least once throughout the Mario series.
Addis Ababa
Addis Ababa is the capital city of Ethiopia. When Luigi traveled to Nairobi during the events of Mario is Missing!, not knowing where he was, a business woman in the city gave him a hint by saying he was "in the largest city between Addis Ababa and Zanzibar."
Alaska
Alaska is one of the fifty states of the United States of America. However, it is a fair distance from the rest of the country, as it borders the northwestern end of Canada. During the events of "Marianne and Luigeena", Marianne told Luigi that Luigeena went to look for him and Mario, but had yet to return, and decided to go look for her sister. As Marianne left, Luigi suggested for her to check out Alaska, implying that he wanted her to leave for a long time.
Alps
The Alps are a great mountain range in Europe. They were mentioned in the game Mario is Missing! by a citizen of Rome, saying that if Luigi brought Italian shoes from home, they could "climb the Alps for a peek of Rome."
The Swiss Cheese Alps from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Koopenstein" were named after the Alps.
Banishment Zone
The Banishment Zone is a zone mentioned in promotional materials for The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, where Bowser was sent before the events of the cartoon and after The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! However, Bowser escaped from the Banishment Zone and attacked the Mushroom Kingdom again, this time with his Koopalings. It is unknown how Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad sent Bowser to the Banishment Zone, where the zone is located and what it looks like as it was only ever mentioned in passing.
Canberra
Canberra is the capital city of Australia. When Luigi traveled to Sydney during the events of Mario is Missing!, he met a business woman who told him that even though Sydney is Australia's oldest and largest city, Canberra is its capital.
Cutie-Pie Cafe
In Super Paper Mario, Tiptron states that Mimi created a cutie-pie cafe to help raise funds for her cutie-pie stable. This cafe may be based on the real world restaurant branch, Mimi's Cafe.
Count Bleck's World
Count Bleck's World or Blumiere's World is a world that Count Bleck said he was going to create after destroying all worlds in Super Paper Mario. He said he would live with his minions, Mimi, Nastasia, O'Chunks and Dimentio happily but as it turned out near the end, he didn't mean it and he was actually going to destroy all worlds and not leave a single one. Not even his current one.
Dimentio said Count Bleck lied about the World and tries to convince Mario to join him to build perfect worlds, but Tippi alerted Mario he was lying and Dimentio starts to fight Mario.
At the end of the game, after Count Bleck (a.k.a Blumiere) and Tippi (a.k.a Lady Timpani) get married they go to some other world where they live happily ever after. After Mario and company all return to Flipside, Nastasia is sad that Count left and just can't stop crying.
O'Chunks and Mimi tell her that Count Bleck must be alive and in peace. They say that they will even build the world that Count Bleck wanted so much-a world with love not war. Though this world is never seen in the game, it is supposedly created after the events of the game and after the heroes return to Mushroom World.
Dry Dry Kingdom
The Dry Dry Kingdom is an ancient civilization that existed an unknown time ago in the Dry Dry Desert; Dry Dry Kingdom is mentioned in Paper Mario by a Dryite living in Dry Dry Outpost, as well as by other characters, though not by name.
The Dry Dry Kingdom was evidently a prosperous society ruled by a Nomadimouse named King Mousta; the subjects of King Mousta rose up against him and rebelled against his rule, wishing to have a society akin to anarchy, they exiling him from the Dry Dry Kingdom. King Mousta eventually struck back against his traitorous followers sometime after his impeachment, defeating them with those still loyal to him, thieves and bandits who would later go on to create the town of Dry Dry Outpost.
This war waged by the Dry Dry Kingdom's inhabitants and King Mousta may have caused the destruction of the Dry Dry Kingdom, or at least contributed to it. Currently, the only remains of the Dry Dry Kingdom's existence are the Dry Dry Ruins, which are guarded by Moustafa, a possible descendant of King Mousta or his second-in-command, a thief boss who was charged with guarding the ruins.
Ethiopia
Ethiopia is a country in Africa. It was mentioned in the game Mario is Missing! as one of the three countries - besides Kenya and Tanzania - to be "eagerly excavated" in order to solve the mystery where human beings first lived.
Flora Kingdom
The Flora Kingdom is an unseen part in Super Paper Mario. Not much is known about it, but Floro Sapiens are the residents and King Croacus IV is the current king of the kingdom. Thought it is not confirmed, the Floro Caverns might be under the Floro Kingdom since so many Floro Sapiens live here, and King Croacus has his room down there. The other kings of Floro Kingdom are King Croacus I, Queen Croacus II and King Croacus III. They all changed the Flora Kingdom somehow.
France
France is a notable country located in Europe; it's capital city is Paris. France was briefly mentioned by Mario during the events of "Super Koopa", when he and Princess Toadstool first arrived in Paris.
Also, because Kootie Pie sabotaged the Louvre in "7 Continents for 7 Koopas", France was technically also traveled to in this episode as well. However, nothing outside of Paris was seen in either of the episodes.
Frankenstein University
Frankenstein University is a school that was mentioned briefly on the bonus disc from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 The Complete Series DVD set. It is a school that Kooky von Koopa attended and graduated from. Nothing else is really known about Frankenstein University, although it is presumably a horror and/or mad scientist-themed school.
Fungusville
Fungusville is the town where Toad's family lives. It was only mentioned in passing by Gramps during The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Escape from Koopatraz". Although Toad no longer lives in Fungusville, it's possible that other members of his family, such as his father, still do.
Goomstar Temple
The Goomstar Temple is a temple briefly implied in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in Koopook's E-Mail. Not much is know about Goomstar Temple, except that it is very cold as told by Koopook.
Hawaii Land
Hawaii Land is a region of Mushroom World, which is presumably named for Hawaii on Earth. It is shown have a very similar climate to Hawaii as well, as Mario had dressed up in beach clothes in preperation for a trip to Hawaii Land. However, Toad purposely mislead his friends to the North Pole instead, so that he could receive presents from Santa Claus. Hawaii Land was only ever mentioned during the events of "Koopa Klaus".
Hell
Hell is the place of suffering and punishment that unrighteous souls are sent to after death, as outlined in various religions.
Hell is heavily referenced in the Club Nintendo comic Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens. The creature Abigor claims to be the "middleman of Hell", and lives in a monster-filled temple called Infernum, which is a Latin term for Hell. He also states "Welcome to Hell" when Mario and his friends enter the temple in their quest to save Princess Toadstool's, who had been kidnapped and turned into a zombie by Abigor. Because of what Abigor did to her mind, Toadstool tells her would-be savior, Mario, that his "mother was scraping toilets in Hell."
The DK Rap, first heard in Donkey Kong 64, originally possessed the line, "he's one hell of a guy" when talking about Chunky Kong. This created much controversy, and "hell" was replaced with "heck" in the later versions of the song. A similar situation arose when it was rumored that the WarioWare character Ashely's theme song, when played backwards, came out with the words "I have granted kids to Hell." Nintendo has denied that this was done intentionally.
In the F-Zero series, Blood Falcon's F-Zero Racer is called the "Hell Hawk" in Japan. It appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The Hell Hawk logo also appears on the back of one of Captain Falcon's alternate costumes in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
The Underwhere of Super Paper Mario is often compared to Hell, but it bears much more resemblance to the Greek underworld, Hades. While the sinless were allowed to spend eternity in The Overthere (which bore more similarities to Hell's counterpart, Heaven than to the Greek Elisian Fields), the inhabitants of The Underwhere, did not suffer for their crimes. Unlike Hell, The Underwhere was merely a place of boredom, and many other aspects of The Underwhere are references to Hades, strengthening that connection.
In the original soundtrack of the game Super Mario Galaxy, one of the songs is entitled "Hell Prominence".
Iowa
Iowa is one of the fifty states of the United States of America. During the events of "Mush-Rumors", when Norman of Kansas and his family were lost in the Mushroom Kingdom, Norman guessed that they might've driven to Iowa.
Italy
Italy is a country in Europe from which Mario and Luigi are descended from. The two, along with several other characters including Mama Mario, have Italian accents and tastes for Italian food. Numerous Italian references have been made throughout the course of the Mario series.
The Linguine Empire appears to be based off of ancient Italy, or at least Rome.
Italy was technically traveled to during the events of "The Venice Menace", as Venice is located within Italy. However, nowhere outside of Venice itself was ever seen.
Rome, Italy is one of the cities that Luigi visits during the events of Mario is Missing!.
Grand Canal is also based upon Venice, Italy.
Kitengela-Athi plains
The Kitengela-Athi plains are plains in Africa, south of Nairobi. They were mentioned in the game Mario is Missing!, as being part of the Nairobi National Park.
Koopergarten
Koopergarten is the supposed Koopa equivalent of kindergarten. Not much is known about Koopergarten, although the curriculum probably has to do with educating young Koopas so that they'll grow up to respect their own kind, and learn to despise the Mushroom Kingdom.
Koopergarten was only ever mentioned in Hip and Hop's biography from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 The Complete Series DVD set. According to the writers bible, the twins flunked Koopergarten.
Lake Turkana
Lake Turkana is a lake in Kenya, Africa. The human skull from the game Mario is Missing! was found near Lake Turkana, as mentioned in a pamphlet in the game.
London
London is the largest city in England and nation's capital. During the events of "Reptiles in the Rose Garden", it was mentioned by Luigi as one of the cities that Bowser was planning to attack after he succeeded in taking over the United States of America. However, Mario and Luigi stopped the Koopa Troop before this could happen.
Additonally, the city of Victoria appears to be based off of London.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles is the largest city in California, United States. When Luigi visited San Francisco during the events of the game Mario is Missing!, he was asked by a business woman if he had been to Los Angeles, "that other California city," too.
Manhattan
Manhattan is a borough of New York, United States. In the live-action segment of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! entitled "Mama Mia Mario", Mario's Mama orders her son to clean all of Manhattan.
Manly Beach
Manly Beach is a popular beach in Sydney, Australia. It was mentioned in a pamphlet about Bondi Beach in the game Mario is Missing!. The pamphlet said that "both Manly and Bondi beaches are popular as great surfing beaches," but also suggested that "Bondi is perhaps the better of the two."
Mombasa
Mombasa is, after Nairobi, the second largest city in Kenya. It was mentioned by a tourist in the game Mario is Missing! who traveled from Mombasa to Nairobi.
Mount Everest
Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth. It was mentioned in the game Mario is Missing! (where it was referred to as simply Everest) by a tourist who claimed to have climbed this mountain as well as Fuji.
Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. It was mentioned in the game Mario is Missing! (where it was referred to as simply Fuji) by a tourist who claimed to have climbed this mountain as well as Everest.
Mount Kenya
Mount Kenya is the highest mountain in Kenya. It was mentioned in the game Mario is Missing! by a tourist who claimed to have climbed Everest and Fuji and now planned to climb Mount Kenya "just to keep [his] reputation up."
Nebraska
Nebraska is one of the fifty states of the United States of America. During the events of "Mush-Rumors", when Norman of Kansas and his family were lost in the Mushroom Kingdom, Norman first guessed that they might've driven to Iowa. When he concluded that the Mushroom Kingdom wasn't Iowa, he guessed that they instead drove to Nebraska.
Russia
Russia is a vast country located within both Europe and Asia. Its capital city is Moscow.
In "Plumbers Academy", Russia was mentioned when Mikhail Gorbachev came to visit Brooklyn. In "Glasnuts", Mikhail Gorbachev paid a visit to Mario Brothers Plumbing, so that he could learn how to make pizza, and open his own franchise in Russia.
Russia was also mentioned in "Captain Lou Is Missing". At one point, Cyndi Lauper received a message from officials in Moscow stating that Comrade Louski was nowhere to be found, and that they requested more 8-track tapes. Mario suggested sending them his Jim Nabors tapes.
Star Realm
The Star Realm is an area briefly mentioned in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. It is talked of by the gate in the Star Shrine when he commands Luigi to get the Aurora Block, something which is apparently very sought after (and even celebrated by) by the denizens of this mysterious place.
The Star Realm most likely includes the Star Shrine, and may or may not include Star Hill. Other star-themed areas not seen in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (such as the Star World and Star Road) could also make up the Star Realm, or it might be an individual area in itself.
Tanzania
Tanzania is country in Africa. It was mentioned in the game Mario is Missing! as one of the three countries - besides Kenya and Ethiopia - to be "eagerly excavated" in order to solve the mystery where human beings first lived.
Toadland Yard
Toadland Yard is an implied police headquarters given a few rare mentions in Mario Party Advance. As is with other implied things, little is known about Toadland Yard.
Toadland Yard is only heard of in the game's manual and Shroomlock's character list description in-game. These mentions respectively describe Shroomlock as "with" and "of" Toadland Yard, suggesting that he works for the organization.
These two mentions leave much to be learned about Toadland Yard. As a matter of fact, it is possible that Toadland Yard is not even a police group at all, but its namesake seems to confirm the fact that it is: Toadland Yard, in addition to having a namesake in "Toad", was named after Scotland Yard (whose actual name is "New Scotland Yard"), a British police headquarters. Scotland Yard is famous for being included in several fictional crime stories such as those involving the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, who happens to be Shroomlock's namesake. (Interestingly, in Sherlock Holmes stories involving Scotland Yard, Holmes, unlike Shroomlock, did not work for the headquarters; instead, he often teamed up or even competed with its operatives.)
Tropical Islands
In the intro of Super Mario Sunshine the player can briefly see a cluster of seven other islands surrounding Isle Delfino, three of which are shaped like a crab, jellyfish, and a sea turtle. The turtle island has a grassy landscape with several beaches and a lake; the crab island has a grassy landscape with few beaches; the jellyfish island has one beach. The other islands are typical – however, a triangular island bares a volcano in the center.
Ualeh
Planet Ualeh was mention to be Heini's home planet in the Club Nintendo comic Sag niemals Holerö. This planet is presumably in another galaxy.
Vanda
Vanda is an alternate dimension mentioned in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Culex, an optional boss in the game, is a Dark Knight from this dimension. Culex is battled in an interdimensional gateway that connects Mario's dimension to Vanda.
Wichita
Wichita is the largest city in Kansas, and is the hometown of Norman and his family. Although it was never seen during the events of "Mush-Rumors", Norman's wife, after her family had been rescued from the Koopas by Mario and Luigi, told the two plumbers to look them up if they ever came to Wichita.
Wild Waldo's One-of-a-Kind Amusement Park
Wild Waldo's One-of-a-Kind Amusement Park is an amusement park supposedly located either in or near Kansas. The mascot of the park is said to be a character named Uncle Waldo. Norman and his family intended on heading there for an outing during the events of "Mush-Rumors", but on their way to the park, Norman accidentally drove through a Warp Pipe hidden in a tunnel, which led to the Mushroom Kingdom. During their visit, Norman's family mistook the Mushroom Kingdom for the actual amusement park. Later on, Mario and Luigi led Norman's family back to the Real World, where they continued to drive towards the amusement park.
Yonkers
Yonkers is a city in the state of New York, which borders the northern end of New York City. Dr. Sigmund Fruitcake hails from Yonkers, as implied by the title of his sole appearance, "Bonkers from Yonkers".
Zanzibar
Zanzibar is part of the country of Tanzania. When Luigi traveled to Nairobi during the events of Mario is Missing!, not knowing where he was, a business woman in the city gave him a hint by saying he was "in the largest city between Addis Ababa and Zanzibar."
