'''Earth''' is a planet that features a wide variety of people, cultures, and ecosystems. It exists both in real life and within the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], with the latter featuring fictional alterations to the planet. In the video games, Earth is most notably recognized and featured in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. It is orbited by a single natural satellite, the [[Moon]].
In the [[List of television series and films|cartoons]], there are two versions of the planet which are the '''Real World''' and a parallel one featuring the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. In most ''Mario''-related media, they are all part of one world.
Earth is first featured as the setting of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', in which [[Luigi]] must travel around the globe on a hunt to rescue [[Mario]] and save the world. Following this, Earth's most consistently prevalent portrayal has been in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]]'', in which species from both the ''Mario'' and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (franchise)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' franchises are also present on Earth.

Earth appears in the background of the box arts for ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (Japanese version) and ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Its atmosphere can also be seen in the background during the battle against [[Raphael the Raven]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.

Official artwork for ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' depicts various [[List of characters|characters]] racing and battling on the Earth's surface, visually demonstrating the worldwide scope of the [[Nintendo DS]]'s [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] capabilities.
In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Earth appears while the player is waiting in the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, in the [[Mario Kart Channel]] and in the [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart Wii)|Rainbow Road]] course. The planet is located in the background of the course, underneath the track. If the players accidentally fall off the course, they will fall to the void by the gravity of the planet, instead of floating in space.
''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' continues the trend of featuring Earth while the player is waiting in the online multiplayer, as well as now featuring it in the Mario Kart Channel. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Earth is still shown when the player plays online. Also, like Rainbow Road in ''Mario Kart Wii'', ''Mario Kart 8''
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', a few [[List of tours in Mario Kart Tour|tours]] are aptly named after the real-world cities they occur in, while Earth itself also appears in the background of [[3DS Rainbow Road]]. The key art, the loading screen (prior to version 2.0.0) and the multiplayer menu for the game features Earth, resembling ''Super Mario Odyssey''{{'}}s iteration.
