Mushroom Kingdom (Japanese:キノコ王国) is a starter stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is Mario and Luigi's home stage. In All-Star mode, this stage is played on when you face Luigi and any of his teammates.

The stage is derived from a part of the original Super Mario Bros. The stage is split up into three sections: two small platforms on the left and right, and one main one in the middle. Between the outer ones are two pits. Over the right and left platforms, there are three blocks while the middle platform has two rows of blocks above it. All the boxes are bricks, except those with flashing "?" marks. You can break any of the blocks, and breaking the "?" blocks will produce an item. Once in a while all the boxes will reappear as "?" boxes. There are also two floating platforms, each above a pit. If you stay on one too long, it will break off and fall into the pit but will reappear seconds later. Noticeably, but often unspoken of by Smash Bros. players, the Melee version doesn't use warp pipes like the original. However, by pausing and turning the camera, warp pipes that exit in the pits like in the original are visible but are behind the playable area of the stage and cannot be entered.
