Mario Chronology

The Mario Chronology details the chronology of the Mario series. There will be many chronological references in the Super Mario Bros. X series as well.

Timeline Placements
Alternate Kingdom is placed directly prior the events of Sea Side Adventure. These games take place after New Super Mario Bros. U and one of its upcoming follow-ups. Invasion of Sea Side takes place several years prior the events of the two games. It is also between Super Mario World and Super Mario 64. The postponed project, The Invasion 1.3, is set to be an alternate setting from Alternate Kingdom, which is taking place in an alternate timeline after the "unsuccessful" ending of Invasion of Sea Side. The two timelines would be reunited after defeating Blaize, since the final battle share the same fate. An untitled project of Super Mario Bros. X is set to be taking place thousands of years prior the birth of Mario and the other Star Children.

List of other chronological references
Sea Side Adventure sees some connection to Super Mario Bros. Z, making Alternate Kingdom and Sea Side Adventure occuring some years after the events of the series. However, the timeline is totally different; Super Mario Bros. Z took place prior the events of New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Galaxy, the game in which the new endless cycle for the Mushroom Universe was born after the ending of that game.

The Creation of the Worlds
The Mushroom World was created by the Mushroom Goddesses thousands of ages ago.

The Era of the Moon Goddess
Thousands of years ago, in an ancient kingdom, there existed a deity who watches over the world. She was the god who crafted a powerful sword of the Moon. As spoken in the legends, the world had fallen into chaos. The deity had sealed the evil that haunted the world into the void of an evil realm. But, the Demon King used his last powers on the Moon Goddess, sealing her into the Moon for eternity. She became the Moon Goddess.

The seal of the Shadow Realm started to weaken, and the world shall be fallen into the hands of the Demon King.

The Era of the World's Evolution
The world had fallen into darkness. So, the Mushroom Goddesses had freed the survivors from the world. They flooded the ancient world within the oceans. After that, the Mushroom Goddesses created several magical continents of the world. Eight of them were were known as the "Mushroom Kingdoms" and the other was a Koopa Kingdom.

There was a Great Subcon World War; a battle between dark monsters and the people of Subcon with its king. Just when the dream world was about to be ruined, the Hero of Dreams came from the sky to save the world. The king of Subcon thrown him the legendary blade to battle those monsters. The Hero of Dreams successfully defeated those beasts and brought back light to the world.

After the war, Kansas finally managed to discover Subcon. He and his team carry out an expedition of the newly discovered area and come back satisfied. During the expedition, Kansas had met the Hero of Dreams, who gave him the stopwatch. He happily takes it as an artifact, but later decides to keep it as a personal timekeeper.
