Lands of the Mushroom Kingdom

In Super Mario Bros. 3, the Mushroom Kingdom is shown to be composed of eight different lands, seven of which are ruled by mushroom kings. The eighth kingdom is ruled by Bowser and inhabited by his koopa troopa minions. Bowser also has a castle in which he captured Peach.

Underground Network

A key recurring feature of the Mushroom Kingdom's landscape is the presence of green pipes. These pipes, typically standing in a vertical position, lead to a subterranean network of caves of varied complexity. While some of these caves are simple treasure caches, most contain passages littered with traps. It is often unclear exactly how long the pipes are and as such, how deep the caves go.
