Isle Delfino, which is definitely tropical, should perhaps be at about the same latitude as Lavalava Island, and I certainly didn’t accomplish this. Since there are frozen lands in the northern part of the map and a tropical-style island in the south, you’d think this place would cover a lot of latitude. Mind you, my attempt to do right by the PM map added to my difficulty in this respect. Yeah, they’re sloppy, and not at all to scale. This one adds in other lands in the Mushroom World: These include locations from more recent games as well, and while the Super Mario Advance map shows most of these lands as separate islands, it’s a very noble attempt to put everything together. Another artist, placed the lands from SMB3 on two separate continents. At least I assume it’s the same Yoshi’s Island in the two Super Mario World games. It’s superbly drawn, but maybe not all that accurate, considering that Yoshi’s Island is shown in two different places. That appears to be the Koopa Kingdom in the center right, so maybe that’s more support for the Inside Story map, although there Bowser’s Castle isn’t on an island.Īs far as fan-made maps go, here’s one by Bill Mudron, showing the locations from the NES and Super NES games. Here’s the map from the Super Mario Advance version of Super Mario Bros. No reason Bowser couldn’t have more than one castle, but I do wish there had been more of an effort at consistency. It’s tiny, but here Bowser’s Castle is in the upper right part of the map, presumably in the opposite direction from Toad Town. Now here’s the map from Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story: If so, the directions are roughly consistent with that game, but the distances between the places aren’t. Yoshi’s Island might or might not be the same place as Yo’ster Isle, the southernmost land visited in SMRPG. Peach’s Castle and Toad Town are in the center, with Bowser’s Castle in the northwest and Yoshi’s Island in the southwest. Now we move on to Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, a game I haven’t played. Hence, its SMRPG location on a plateau is quite unlikely. Toad Town appears in several games after this, including PM, in which it has a seaport. From what I’ve heard, however, the town called “Mushroom Kingdom” in the English translation is Toad Town in the original Japanese. PM is said to take place entirely in the Mushroom Kingdom, while SMRPG makes the Kingdom a location on the northeastern plateau. To begin with, here’s the map from Super Mario RPG: Not really that many, though, and it doesn’t help that Nintendo is never particularly consistent with the in-game maps. I’m apparently not alone in this, as I’ve found a few such maps online. With my fondness for maps of fantasy lands, I’ve long had it in my head to make a map of the Mushroom World.
