Chapter 4: Until the Present Day
Even with the drakoopas gone, the boos could not rise again to regain control of the Mainland, their people having suffered massive losses. It did not help that the drakoopas left behind many technologies that allowed any mortals to fight them. The Mushroom Kingdom was not affected by the Dragon War so there was no need of a new leader. Its present leader was King Toadstool and just had a daughter he named Peach.
The seven lands had to elect new leaders. First, the Grassland people chose a giant elderly goomba they named the Goomba King. He ruled over Grassland to this day.
Sandland was in a complete panic. No shyguy was fit to become the next king after the nocteans vanished. Though, a sign of hope appeared when the shyguys found an odd humanoid. It was a giant frog named Wart. The shyguys saw him as the perfect Sandland king and crowned him.
Sealand chose to throw away the old traditions and made a council made of eleven members, bloopers and cheepcheeps alike. The decisions would now be taken by unanimity among the council members.
Woodland had a new ruler: Queen Flutter. She applied rules regarding the technologies left behind by the mecheans. Most of them had to be hidden from public view via a secret laboratory built under a power plant to prevent anyone to get them.
Skyland, like Sealand, chose to have a council as a group that would rule over the land. The air machines left behind by the styleans inspired the lakitus to rebuild the cloud on which Skyland City rested on.
Iceland was not completely left in dust. The civilization the acreans built before vanishing still stood to this day. The penguins chose a giant penguin, Mother Penguin, to become the next ruler of Iceland.
Pipeland elected a new king that turned the land into a totalitarian civilization. Borders became pickier as everyone now needed a passport and an id card for citizens or an access permit for foreigners. However, the king had to step down, following an incident, and gave his crown to his son Petey Piranha who redid some of the rules in his way.
Last but least, the Koopa Kingdom did not have any chance into finding a new ruler at first. During the five next years after the Dragon War, the land fell into complete anarchy as its citizens fought for the throne. Afterward, a necrean showed up to reclaim the throne. His presence restored order in the Koopa Kingdom but the new king was engaged in shady activities. More years passed and another necrean, Bowser, showed up. He revealed that the other one that ruled over the Koopa Kingdom for five years was just an imposter. It was in fact King Boo who was banished from the land right after.
Following the coronation of Bowser, he immediately kidnapped Princess Peach for an unknown reason. His motives behind the kidnapping were unknown considering he did not cause any casualties but it was suspected he wanted control of both kingdoms. Though it did not start another war yet, this act angered the Mushroom Kingdom but the other lands objected to it. Two heroes, Mario and Luigi, were chosen to investigate and went to the Koopa Kingdom to save the Princess.
As the plumbers reached Bowser, a mysterious force took over the Mainland. This mysterious force was known as Smithy. He turned the Mainland into a giant factory to manufacture his army. The people of the Mainland started a rebellion against Smithy thus the start of the Smith War. This time, Bowser had to ally himself with Mario, Luigi and Peach as well as a star sprite named Geno. Together, they defeated Smithy and turned the Mainland back to its former glory. The Mainland was then named Amarioca after the new hero Mario.
Following the Smith War, both kingdoms made an agreement to cease hostilities toward each other. This did not please some as they started a few rebellions in the Mushroom Kingdom. A few years later, in the Koopa Kingdom, Bowser now had seven children. None of them were of the same sub-specie as Bowser however. The way he raised his children helped keeping Amarioca at peace and the other royalties often visited him and his little family to see the children. During those years, Mario and Luigi ventured around the planet now named the Mario World. They stumbled across some threats but they were able to solve them.
More years passed and the heroes of Amarioca were called to meet the queen of Obeanie after the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom passed away. The heroes got separated once they reached Obeanie when an old witch and her assistant attacked them. The enemies were quickly taken care of and were arrested. It took months for the heroes to be back together. The others were surprised to see Bowser with an egg in his hand. He seemed sad as if he lost someone. This time, it was another necrean. This implied that more drakoopas survived the Dragon War but were outside Amarioca. The heroes returned to Amarioca but not before the witch's assistant attempted another attack on them. This time, a star sprite, Starlow, stopped him for good. Back in Amarioca, Bowser proposed to sign an official peace treaty between the rulers of Amarioca.
Today, Amarioca is fully re-established and the people live peacefully. The Mario World now has links with other worlds like the Triforce World, the Leaf World and the Urchin World. Many new visitors like Rosalina install themselves on the Mario World. New festivals like the Olympics and the Freestyle Fighting Festival emerge. Soon, the Mario World will embark on its biggest negotiation project with a group coming from outer space… Or will it?
Though this is the end of the Mario World History, more will come from its most notable inhabitants under the name Zombie Heartbreaker.
