History
Ancient History
During ancient times, mnay Toads lived in the Dry Dry Desert. One day came the Kingdom of Shrooms, founded by King Shroomses. The Kingdom of Shrooms is known to have existed in the Scorching Sandpaper Desert, having built Shroom City and the Temple of Shrooms there. It also had influence across the Drybake Desert, with the Drybake Stadium being likely built by them as well. Due to its similar architecture to Shroom City, a town in Shy Guy Bazaar was also likely part of the Kingdom of Shroomses in the past. The kingdom built the Fire Vellumental Temple and then likely expanded greatly, building the other Vellumental temples as well and building Shangri Spa. They also likely built structures such as Double Cherry palace. Captain T. Ode is a sea captain that had been frozen by the Kingdom of Shrooms since ancient times and was reawakened during Mario's adventure in Paper Mario: The Origami King.[8] At one point, Shroomses would die and his body would be buried in the Temple of Shrooms.
The kingdom was likely also responsible for at some point building the Mushroom Ruins somewhere in the Mushroom Continent. They were also likely responsible for the Grand Labyrinth a 30 stories high labyrinth used to guard the the Super Crown.[9][10]
