Just so you know
Feel free to edit however you like, we've worked really hard on this so hopefully you can make it even better! (Created by Thejiggler555)

Where, When, Why and How
Where:

It can be easily assumed that Ooo is the next supercontinent of broken continents after the Mushroom Bomb went off and destroyed all life (Except for Simon Petrikov and Marceline, of course). This can be proven by the fact that there are only three visible continents on Earth, and that Ooo contains different governments and "cultures".

When:
The Great Mushroom War happened about 1,000 prior to the show, as proven time after time in the series. Due to background images, it can be infered that the Mushroom War either happened in our generation or the one after it. Also, in Finn The Human, it was said that the "Bomb of Death" was supposed to have dropped 1000 years ago, supposedly ending the war and life itself.

How:

The War most likely started from mankind being at war with one another (...again). The War ended (because life was wiped out) because of the Mushroom Bomb, bringing about the Lich. (It is unknown who dropped the bomb, though this may or may not be researched later in the show.) As already known, Simon and Marcy may be the only survivors to the War, but this may not be true with Finn (and possibly Susan Strong (character)) being a full human; so a small number of humans may have survived, and eventually found themselves become extinct by being eaten or killed by mutants (as said to be delicious in Her Parents) or being immediately destroyed the Lich.

And the mutants? They were probably created from magic from the other dimensions (as stated by Pendleton Ward) and from the nuclear waste of the War.

Though the one thing that can't be explained is why most people in Ooo (and, suprisingly, before the War) have four fingers. Perhaps the mutants have only four due to radiation, but Simon also had four fingers and said nothing about it in his documentary (and Betty was seen with four as well). This may mean that radiation made them cut off one of their fingers or it was a strange radiation problem even before the War's end.

Well, that's my interpretation of this, you can agree with it or not.

Update
OH MY GLOB! I finally figured out how many years ago The Great Mushroom War happened! Ok, so The Ice King is 600 years old, right? Well, he seems to be about 28 in the Simon P. video, and it's pretty obvious that that video was probably taken a few MONTHS before the G.M.W. So, give or take a few, the GMW probably took place about 572 years before our present AT universe. Oh! But you guys who think youre such experts are thinking "Ooo, what about Marceline? Waa, Waa! Shes a thousand!" Well, then your an idiot. Her dads a demon. He's also deathless. You guys thought she was a little girl just because, A. She looks like one, and B. She didn't have bite marks. Well NewsFlash! Demons can shape shit to look like a kid, and her dad probably gave her immortality cause, well, she's his daughter. So that means nothing! Ha! Ace Attorney! I rest my case. Or do I? --Blugo34 (talk) 06:30, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

The Human and Geographical Changes
If there was a nuclear war, a lot would change. Continents would shift, plants would grow abnormally(Due to the toxic pollutan), and humans would have to mutant to survive.(AKA:Mutate or Bust!)

Origin of the Ice kingdom
In the episode Holly Jolly Secrets II, it shows Simon Petrikov showing that his skin is blue, and if you look in the background it shows the town is being covered in snow after the plane flys bye. So if after the war he went to an area and it got covered in snow. so that explains that.

Origin of the Candy People
It is entirely possible that the Candy People are mutated people. They could have been hiding out in a candy store or something and the nuclear junk in the air stuck the candy to their faces and that eventually it turned them into animate pieces of candy.

Origin of the Hyoomens
The Hyoomens where just regular people who decided to escape from the nuclear fallout in a military bunker. The bunker flooded and each generation of the people had to be a little more fishlike until they where compatible with their suckish conditon.

How the Penguins (Gunther) survived
Most people consider Penguins prissy and weak, but, even though technically the Penguins haven't mutated, I believe they have trained their minds throughout the War and are now evil geniuses, just as Marceline's dad said. The only reason they are still working for Ice King is that they either are waiting for the right moment to overthrow him from his ruling, or they feel bad for him and want to make sure he keeps (what is remaining of) his sanity. have you seen riegn of the gunters in it gunter uses the witching eye and practically destroys everyhing not so cute and prissy anymore!

Origin of the Fire Kingdom
Some of the natural diasters were volcanoes appearing from gaps in the ground left by earthquakes (ironic) and erupting. The Fire Palace seems to be a hollowed out volcano, the surrounding areas could be filled with underground Giesers, which are really small volcanoes.

Origin of Lumpy Space
The impact of the Super Nuke would be so large that it would blow most of the clouds out of our atmosphere. The harsh chemicals in space would harden the clouds into what is Lumpy Space.

Origin of the Lumpers
The Lumpy Space People are made of irradiated stardust (As said by Pendleton Ward). Irradiated means to have been exposed to radiaton, which totally makes sense.

It is assumed (by some) that Ooo is North America.
 * I'll disagree, because based on the episode "Holly Jolly Secrets", it shows the drastically changing weather happenings as the Simon Petrikov progresses to become the Ice King. And at the time, Simon was located in Europe. I will, however, agree to a weapon war as a theory.

Most fans have noticed that all of the mutants(Hyoomans) are wearing animal hats.
 * lol, the fashion idea is a new one. Though a little out there.
 * If you remember the Mortal Folly, you see skeletons dressed in rather modern (as in our universe) clothing, nothing over the top. The Hyoomen's currently don't have enough backstory to really make anything of them. All we know, is that they are considered fish people who like to wear mammalian hats.

How the Penguins (Gunther) survived / Origin of...
 * Interesting lol. Animal wise, it is noticeable how numerous penguins are in the Land of Ooo, but they are still not seen being in all areas. It seems our version of modern animals have become smaller versions of themselves, while other 'fantastical' creatures of took their place.


 * For the lumpy people, they seem to be different from Cloud People, who are quite literally their namesake. As for the fire and ice kingdoms, I don't give much thought too, but I like your theories on them. I am stumped on the Candy People... their existence is so out-of-scope, that even the Lumpy people make more sense lol. I keep thinking that someone created them, not that they evolved. -- Bunai82 (talk) 14:02, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

What about the Nightosphere..

Fire Kingdom could be Yellowstone national park. There is a super volcano their that would be the perfect place for the fire kingdom palace. It it widely theorized that a nuclear blast could be enough to set off this super volcano. 24.10.132.19515:50, May 27, 2012 (UTC) Oh My GLOB! You are so right! Oh, it's me, the person that created this, I'm just on my new computer. As for the Nightosphere, easy, it's Hell (ahem, excuse me) Oh, and the thing about the hats wouldn't be plausible, I just realized that. The GMW happened hundreds of years ago, I dought the fibers in the hats would last that long. Awww, I really thought my fashion theory was cool. 69.46.209.135 23:37, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and about the fashion trend, yeah, I'm kind of weird, so it's no surprise that I wear animal hats and the zombies didn't. My next splurge at the mall: A white unicorn hat! And, naturally, I've been saving up for an AT Tee. (I love saying, er, spelling that)But gosh dang, they're frickin expensive! 69.46.209.135 23:45, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

On the Update about when the GMW was: It's actually been stated that the Ice King is around 1000 years old as well, and been implied tons of times that that was how long ago the war was. 17:01, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

It seems like we can set a certain timeframe for at least the start, if not the entirety of the Great Mushroom War using the technology set forth in the show. Given that in "Holly Jolly Secrets", the Ice King (née Simon Petrikov) records his diary entries on VHS tapes, an absolute lower limit for the war can be established at 1976 with the invention of VHS tape. Similarly, we can speculate on the upper limit via technology. All other things being equal, the DVD-R format would be invented in 1997 and would come into its own as recording media sometime in the mid-2000s. Based on the progression of the crown's control over Petrikov, the Mushroom War can be assumed to take place sometime in a twenty year window between 1990 and 2010. My personal theory is for the early nineties, possibly as a desperation move by the Soviet Union. 65.35.157.137 07:06, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Although we do know for sure the war must be after the invention of VHS which is a very good point, we have no idea just how much longer it may have been. All we know is that Simmon made those tapes before the war began. (Judging from the fact that the world seems intact in the videos and news paper clippings.) It could be anywhere from a day to centuries later that the war starts given the nature of the crown and the longevity it affords the wearer. Melting Sky (talk) 22:43, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

We really can't assume anything on shown technologies, since they are all messed up. Yes, Simon used VHS, but remember how it was watched. On hologram. BMO has holographic interface AND he is VHS compatible, not really common mix, since we haven't even invented first part. There is also that farmworld Marceline's laser rifle (it's origin is unclear though). Besides USSR didn't have any Lich bombs when I checked it last time.

Remember the penny from "King of Mars"? It had the year 20xx on it which knocks out the 90's because it's saying that modern technology was around for atleast some of the 21st century. It looks to me like it's 204x. Why would we be making pennies if we're all struggling to survive in the radiation that's killing off almost the entire world's population?

Candy People
It seems to be implied that Princess Bubblegum created a large percentage of the population. She's motherly to her people and was shown in three episodes making candy people, even mentioning in Goliad how she used the "standard" ingredients for a candy person to make her. There have obviously been others before her, according to her story about her uncle, though that really doesn't explain how she's only 18 and ruling the whole kingdom, no parents in sight or mentioned. --DARK 03:40, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
