As I was working on the plot I did some research on as many places in the Mushroom Kingdom as I could find to get an idea on how the country's places were laid out, so I drew a sketch of it. It includes the locations from Partners in Time, Bowser's Inside Story, and Paper Jam. Additionally, connections to the Beanbean Kingdom and Sarasaland have also been added, as well as the Yoshi Sphinx and Boo Woods with Luigi's NEW Mansion.
I'd post it here, but I'm a little self-conscious about the 64 MB attachment limit, and this scan is about 1.4 MB in size. However, I did post it on my DeviantArt account here. In time, perhaps I'll continue to create some concept sketches. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what my Sapian creatures are going to look like - but I would like them to bear a slight resemblance to Wart. I plan to have Dire Dire Docks, which I hadn't created yet at the time of the drawing, be located due south of Boo Woods on the southern coast not too far away from Cavi Cape. Additionally, later I decided that I wanted the Vim Factory to be north of the path through Toadwood Forest rather than to the south as shown on the drawing. I also forgot to define the location of Gloomy Woods from Paper Jam, which according to the drawing should be located north and east of Mario and Luigi's House. The Mushroom Kingdom from Paper Mario is disregarded, as it is a universe all its own.
I'll do my best to keep you posted on any changes or any new ideas.
