Koopa Kingdom

The Koopa Kingdom is the evil King Bowser's domain as well as the home of the Koopalings, homeland of the Koopa species and the rival kingdom of Princess Peach's peaceful home and domain known as Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser's main Castle (in many Super Mario Bros games) serves as the capital of the Koopa Kingdom where it stands. It is one of the many recurring locations in the Super Mario Bros universe.

The geography is extremely volcanic, some areas being wastelands, volcanos, lava rivers and largely untouched by sunlight. This country was defended by the military forces of Koopa Troop with large numbers of tanks and airships patrol these lands to be defeated by Mario and Luigi.

Bone holocaust from different species showing dry plains and caves should be those that nobody survived and surely are dead by volcano smogs. One of other problems in the Koopa Kingdom is the volcanic eruptions that cause lava floods, even Bowser is forced reform or built his castle in other corners be cause this.

Despite being volcanic for outside, exist frozen parts that kingdom for inside of some underground caves which were preserved of heat.

Shown in the Yoshi series, Bowser is the supreme ruler of the Koopa Kingdom since childhood and the land itself is located in south from Dinosaur Land.

TrivIa

 * In Super Mario Bros 3, it was called the Dark Land and the Koopa Castle.
 * As it is home to Bowser and the Koopalings, the Dark Land appears in quite a few episodes of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, where it is depicted as a gloomy wasteland with lava-filled caverns beneath the land's surface.
 * The Dark Land is the setting of the 4th Nintendo Adventure Book titled "Koopa Capers", where Bowser has a Magic Carpet bring Luigi to the kingdom to help (whether he wants to or not) in the search for Wendy O. Koopa after the Koopaling disappears. The 2 main areas of the land that can be explored in the book are a gloomy trap-filled fortress, and a highly volcanic region called the Magma Pits.
 * In the proceeding Nintendo Adventure Book titled "Pipe Down!", the Dark Land (though here referred to as the "Dark World") is mentioned once by Ludwig von Koopa, who states that he intends to take his new opera, Dribbling Beauty, on a seven year tour of the kingdom.
 * The Dark Land is the only world in the Super Mario Bros. 3 game that does not have any Toad Houses, Hammer Bros. patrolling the map, or Spade Panels in it.
 * In all Japanese releases of Super Mario Bros. 3, the Koopa Kingdom is known as "Castle of Kuppa" during the game credits (although more closely translated to "Country of Darkness" in the manual). In the initial North American release and worldwide versions of Super Mario All-Stars, this was corrected to the standard "Castle of Koopa". It was again changed to "Bowser's Castle" in the Game Boy Advance version.
 * The Koopa Kingdom has a subterranean equivalent in Super Mario World known as the Valley of Bowser. Both worlds are the final worlds of their respective games.
 * In the manual for the original Super Mario Bros., the description for a green Koopa Troopa mentions that it is a soldier of the "Turtle Empire". This may be an early name for Dark Land, as it appears to refer to the same location.
 * The term gets used in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
 * The World 6 level of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is also suggested to be Bowser's sovereignty, so it may be the past incarnation of the same territory.
 * According to Lemmy Koopa in the Japanese instruction manual, the kingdom's activity was top secret even to the Koopalings, as he claims Bowser himself was exclusively in charge.
