Or at least, an ancient civilisation that was more advanced than most of what came afterwards?
Because it seems obvious that the locations were all originally part of that kingdom when it existed, and have mostly been left to their own devices for a few thousand years by this point. So based on their different likely locations, it seems clear that the ancient kingdom was at least big enough to cover much of the modern day Mushroom Kingdom, Diamond City, etc.
And based on the Sapphire Passage... it seems the kingdom reached the modern age before it collapsed. Hotel Horror has a very 60s or 70s style. Why else would Crescent Moon Village and Hotel Horror have electric lighting? Or the Ruby Passage have modern machines?
So it seems like the kingdom was likely located where the modern Mushroom Kingdom/World is in the current time. And it likely got some advanced technology going before it fell apart.
But why did it then collapse? What exactly did the Golden Diva do that completely wiped out most sentient life in the area? Because I suspect the ghosts in Crescent Moon Village and Hotel Horror weren't the only original inhabitants, and the robots don't seem to be controlling the Curious Factory very well. What happened to whoever used to live in these areas?
What do you think?
