The Super Mario Bros franchise has spanned a huge number of locations, from all across the Mushroom Kingdom, to the Donkey Kong Isles, to Sarasaland, to space and beyond. The world is huge, filled with varying landmarks, geography, history and lore - so what does this world look like? There have been many attempts, which pull from different areas of the Mario universe, but not one complete picture that covers everything. This is the start of our Mario Mapping Project, which begins with our interpretation of Peach's Castle.
Areas: Waypoints for larger regions, like villages, towns etc.
Locations: Waypoints for specific points of interest, like shops, homes etc.
Landmarks: Waypoints for notable landmarks, like Peach's Castle.
Arrows: Waypoints pointing to what is off in the distance.
Vehicles: Waypoints for different vehicles that have appeared throughout the series.
I have been working on a future update for this map, one which is much larger in scale! Stay tuned for more details, as this next update will expand the world even further.
