That's true, but who's to say that Clouds didn't cover up or distort the World? In my initial post, I stated Dino Land may be too small to be a Continent. Also, Mario got to Sarrasa Land via Sky Pop. Why would he need to, if it was on the same Continent? Sure, they used the Koopa Cruiser to get to the BeanBean Kingdom, but it has a very mountainous border, something we have yet to see in Sarrasa Land! Also, who says that the polar regions are even Continents, they could just be sheets of Ice for all we know. Though I do think at least one is a Continent. I think that Mushroom Land(Mushroom-BeanBean-Jewelry continent) is the Aftica shaped on in the Northern Hemisphere. Also, Sarrasa Land could be anywhere, while the Bannana-shaped continent is mystery to me(Sarrasa Land?).

Don't forget Mario's planet is, like, twice or even threece bigger than Earth. This is very sure we've only seen, like, 2% of the planet. Also, Sarasaland could be anywhere on the continent. If it is on the continent, then it's too far of the kingdom to be reached on foot or in a car, and there could also be mountains between the MK and SL. Additionally, why does everyone thinks the places we go through are big enough to be continents by themsleves ? If a random lake is seen from the map, it's more likely than the map only shows a little continent part or an island.
Also, what do you mean by "the clouds cover up or distort the world" ?

Hey, what happened to my post?! Ah well, I'm too lazy to type it again, I'll post it later!

Hey, makes me think of something.
You clearly see in Super Mario Bros. and 3 than the clouds you walk on are actually white blocks, which makes me think that the "walkable" clouds are actually vapor-making blocks and shouldn't be included in maps.

The Bannana-shaped continent is mystery to me(Sarrasa Land?). The DK Lands(a continent where some places from the DK games could be) |

The DK games are set on Donkey Kong Island.

Only the first Country game and DK 64. And who is to say that the Northern Kremisphere isn't on that large continent.

Sorry, but the series IS set on DK Island. They may sometimes travel to
- Donkey Kong Country is set on the island
- Donkey Kong Country 2 is set on Crocodile Island, right next of Donkey Kong Island
- Donkey Kong Country 3 is set on the south of the island
- Donkey Kong 64 is set on the island
- Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is set on the island (then in space)
And it's not because it's banana-shaped that it has something to do with Donkey Kong. The Mushroom Continent is Africa-shaped. The Mario series isn't unrealistic enough to make continents shaped like items - don't tell me "Kitchen Island" because that wasn't really made by the original R&D team.

When I looked at ME in SMG2, I saw it a little differently then you described. First off I did notice a Africa-esque Continent in the Northern Hemisphere(Which is where the Mushroom Kingdom must be), There was a Continent on the equator that was very Round Shaped and has one desert in the South-Western portion of the kingdom(So it could be Sarrasa Land). Also, the Northern Continent has a ONE Desert in the Mid-Eastern portion of the Continent that could be DryDry Desert/Desert Hill if tMK is the northern portion of the Continent. Also there was a Continent in the Southern Hemisphere that could be Anything!

If you look at it long enough, you'll see the "equator" continent is banana-ish shaped, not round (however the "world selection" screen shows the Africa-shaped continent being round). Also, the game doesn't show deserts actually, I don't know how could you see those. I'll check later.

In PDoogan's map she posted a while back, I noticed that the Waffle Kingdom was extremely small. However, Luigi mentions that there is both a "Strusel Continent" and "Pudding Continent" within the kingdom, so it would have to be at least as big as the Rogueport continent.

Continents within an island? That is just unheard of. Maybe the waffle Kingdom is that last unknown continent

Luigi's adventure wasn't in the Waffle Kingdom. Well, I mean, not entirely. Considering he goes on three different continents (the one where the kingdom is + the Strudel continent + the Waffle continent).

I'm guessing that the ME in Galaxy 2 either doesn't show all of the continents that exist, or the continents in the ME constantly break apart and come back together.

Why would it not show all the continents ? Except if there are over 9000 ridiculously small continents on the south pole, which is unlikely. Also, your second theory is definitely wrong because it'd make a lot of earth tremors, plus it would be impossible to make villages and such if the ground was constantly moving.

Honestly, I don't really believe the Waffle Kingdom exist. I mean, who's to say that Luigi(Or the Author) was telling the truth. It is possible his adventures consisted of nothing more than going through a small Island Chain, and the rest was exagerated. Though if it IS real, the Strudel Continent is a part of the Waffle Kingdom, so it's probably just an Island Province. Actually, if it exist, it would HAVE to benothing more than an Island Chain, as no one seems to have heard about It before!

"Continent" could just be fooling us though. Technically, an island is a continent.

Like I said, it couldn't be more than an Island, because in a world where they have Time Travelling technology, I'm sure they would have discoverred all the Continents! But I still think Luigis "Adventures" were fabricated.

Don't even remind me about those terrible games. Nothing good came out of them except for Weegee so I don't think it should be counted as canon.
