Well, they can go through pipes, possibly. Another way would be to just walk. To get to other kingdoms/resorts, they use a plane as seen in SM Sunshine.

And in Superstar Saga.
Not to mention Mario uses a boat to reach Rogueport in TTYD. Otherwise, Im pretty sure they use Warp pipes or walk.

Don't forget that Mario can get power-ups that allow him to fly. And there are bean stocks.

* Chupperson Weird invests in some bean stocks

Hopefully these will grow in a few years!

Bean stalks, maybe? XD

So, on the subject of transportation, how far are these locations from Mushroom Castle? Obviously, one could walk out the door of the Castle and reach Toad Town (the MK's main town), but where are areas like Dinosaur Land, Sarasa Land, Mario Land, Wario Stadium, etc.. in relation to Mushroom Castle?

Obviously, some of these locales are pretty close that they could walk, but what about others?

.. I guess they could go by pipe, too, if the road to the pipe isn't real dangerous..

I've always thought Dinosaurland and Sarasaland were different continents neightboring the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario Land is Mario's "island of solitude" , which I'm assuming was turned into the theme park in Mario Party.

Yes, I mean stalks. :/

That would make sense, since the boards in MP and MP2 closely resemble some of the areas from SML and SML2 (Western Land and World 1, Yoshi's Tropical Island and World 2, Mystery Land and World 3, Space Land and World 4 [probably a bit far-fetched]).

Oh, I thought you meant the theme park in Super Mario Sunshine.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #1343 on:** August 19, 2007, 10:17:09 PM »

SML takes place in Sarasaland, not Mario Land.

Yeah SML2 took place in Mario Land.

Yeah SML2 took place in Mario Land.

I know, but MP and MP2 (mostly MP2) seem to borrow a lot from the SML games.

I don't really see the MP series as part of the Mario series, it just seems like a different universe to me. :/

Toad · « **Reply #1347 on:** August 20, 2007, 07:14:13 PM »

Unless a game comes out and says This is a different universe/world/etc.. then I just assume that the spinoffs take place in the most current version of the Mario world (ie: Ricco Harbor appearing in Mario Power Tennis)

Mario Party 6 was one of those games that attempted to say that the MP world is different from the regular Mario world, but even if a game says it I don't always agree. We do not need a different universe for every series/spinoff to take place in.

I have a question.....

Most people say the sports title's for Mario are spinoff's, so does that make it non-canon? I mean, it has nothing to do with the real storyline right? I always thought it was canon, now I feel sort of dumb, oh well. >_>

MaxVance · « **Reply #1349 on:** August 21, 2007, 11:46:09 AM »

They aren't, but Mariology's job seems to be to make a canon.
