Mushroom Kingdom=HUGE

The Mushroom Kingdom appears to dwarf most other nations on Mario's planet. Below are the different map screens of the Kingdom.

So there you have it. My real question though, is simple. How seriously should we take the size, and how are they all connected?

[Le Mario Bro]

ummm... Hate to bring this up, but you should try and fix a couple of those links.

[kingkoopa]

Yeah, all of the ones from Mariowiki are broken.

[SMBBQ]

Sorry, I'll fix them.

EDIT: Well, the linksshould work now. Enjoy and be merry.

The only ones that seem to contradict each other are the Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario maps.

It's just that we've seen a lot more of the Mushroom Kingdom. The Beanbean Kingdom is definitely much, much smaller, and Dinosaur Land most likely is too, but the rest we don't know enough about.
Although I consider the areas in SMRPG their own kingdom, possibly owned by Nimbus Land, because the Mushroom Kingdom is a distinctive place there.

[Le Mario Bro]

Well, maybe not owned by NimbusLand, but, you get the point.

The only real problem for me is the Paper Mario maps. I always thought a lot of the places in Paper Mario were part of the Mushroom Kingdom, (excluding Lavalava Island, for obvious reasons.) Rougeport also seems to be part of the Mushroom Kingdom, just overseas.
Afterall, why would Peach and Toadsworth go over there if it wasn't part of the Kingdom? I think Toadsworth said something about them touring the Kingdom in the Prologue...

[shadowgoomba]

Yeah, it's part of the Mushroom Kingdom. Super Mario Wiki seems to agree with this.
But why can't Nimbus Land own the SMRPG lands? Other than Bowser and the Mushroom Kingdom, they're the only large governing body that you see there.

[Le Mario Bro]

I'm pretty sure that much of NimbusLand is up in the clouds, seeing as how it's mainly occupied by Nimbus People and Birdies, (and Valentina, but nobody cares about her. )

And I'm thinking that some of the land on the map might be owned by Booster's family. The people there just govern themselves since Booster's unable to. Why else would Valentina marry him if he didn't have anything other than a mansion?

[SMBBQ]

True love?? (lol)
