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

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