The Mushroom Kingdom is the largest kingdom in the Mushroom World and the setting of numerous games in the Mario series. It is ruled by the peace loving Princess Peach, who is the "girlfriend" of Cranky Kong's former nemesis and the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario. The Mushroom Kingdom and Donkey Kong Island seem to be on good terms as races from both lands have participated together in numerous festivals and sports events. Donkey Kong Island may also be located in the seas of the Mushroom World.
