Most of the story takes place in the kingdom of [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]], which is portrayed as an Earth-like peninsular landmass surrounded by open sea and situated in a tropical climate. The planet which Dream Land is situated on is never explicitly named in the 4Kids dub of the show, but supplementary material confirms it is Planet [[Popstar]];<ref>[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FllOkMBXoAId3HI?format=jpg&name=large May 2003 licensing flier]</ref> in the Japanese version, it is specifically referred to as Popstar by [[Sword Knight (anime character)|Sword Knight]] in Episode 98: [[Cappy Town Down|Takeoff! Battleship Halberd]]. Despite this, the planet is never seen as a whole like it is in the games, so it is not clear if it has the same shape and characteristics. Other planets and locations in outer space are sometimes seen in the show, most notably [[eNeMeE's Fortress]] in the final episodes. | ||
