Koopa Kingdom

is Bowser's domain as well as the home of the Koopa Troop, rival kingdom of Mushroom Kingdom, and is the final world in Mario's adventures.New Super Mario Bros. Wii Prima Strategy Guide, Nintendo, 2009, p. 10 - "WORLD 8: This is Bowser's world. Make no mistake about it, he'll throw everything he has at you, so stock up on as many different power-ups as you can before enter his domain."
==Geography==
The geography is extremely volcanic and gloomy, some areas being wastelands, volcanos, lava rivers, and largely untouched by sunlight. This country is defended by the military forces of Koopa Troop with large numbers of tanks and airships patrol these lands and are tasked to defeat Mario and Luigi during their adventures. Shown in the Yoshi series, Bowser has been the ruler of the Koopa Kingdom since his childhood. The Koopa Kingdom itself appears to be located close to Dinosaur Land, dips into the Mushroom Kingdom, and encompasses Dark Land.
==Government==
The Koopa Kingdom is an absolute monarchy, where King Bowser has unchecked power. Bowser has acted as the head of the government since he was a child, while his title as "King" raises arguments of what his presence in the government is. Kamek remains as his trusted adviser for many years, giving advice to Bowser and his children.Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Instruction Booklet, Nintendo, 1995, p. 5 - "INTRODUCTION: The kidnapper is Kamek, an evil Magikoopa from the Koopa Kingdom. Having divined last night that twin babies born this morning will bring disaster to the Koopa family, he arranged for an early morning ambush. Returning to his castle, Kamek realizes that he missed the other baby. He orders his toadies." Bowser Jr. is the Koopa Prince and the current heir to the throne.
==Landscape==
*Volcanoes: It is the most recorded landscape of this kingdom by having a huge amount of lava in every corner.
*Wastelands: Dry lands is complete full with bones from various species who did not survive in this kingdom.Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Nintendo Player's Guide , Nintendo, 1995, p. 3 - "WORLD 6: The bones of foolhardy souls litter the final approach to King Bowser's Castle, but Yoshi and Mario aren't about to give up the ghost. Bowser and that mean Magikoopa. Kamek, deploy all demons in an effort to stop our heroes. If the Skeleton Goonies don't put a chill down your spine, the lava lakes will make things frightfully lot for you. Do you have the spirit scare off these final fiends and nice Mario with his twin brother?"
*Dark Clouds: The atmosphere is completely bleak for thunderstorms that blocks sunlight.
*Forests: Seldom has leafy forests, which are only in Super Mario Bros. 3s World 8-1. Like all other areas, these forests are dark and spooky.
*Glaciers: In this kingdom there was ice until it was melted by the volcanic heat.Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Nintendo Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1995, p. 111 - "THE VERY LOOOOOONG CAVE: This weaving underground stage is a mean mixture of scrolling fire and ice. If the blistering pools of lava don't fry your toes, melting icicles might break your nose." Though there is ice in the underground.
*Castle Ruins: Bowser and his underlings have castles and strongholds destroyed by plunders or by eruptions. Then the ruins of these castles are found for all kingdom.
