Mario Mystery: Is Chocolate Island actually made of chocolate?
Plastiware:
This is for anyone who's played Super Mario World to consider. I've always assumed that Chocolate Island, the location of the game's sixth world, is supposed to be made of chocolate. This is especially because a dialogue you get after completing the previous castle describes it as "dangerous (but tasty)".
It only recently occurred to me that it may not be literally chocolate. Most of the other game's worlds are named after foods, despite not actually appearing to be made of said foods, so why should Chocolate Island be so special? In addition, a few levels on Chocolate Island aren't really colored anything like chocolate.
And of course, we can't forget that Chocolate Island later appeared in Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 as Choco Island and Choco Mountain, respectively, neither of which are explicitly said to be made of chocolate. Not that that rules out the possibility that they are made of chocolate.
What do you think? Is Chocolate Island actually made of chocolate, or is it just named after its chocolate brown color?
But most importantly, why the hell did I create this thread?

chocolate melts so nope would be impossible to be actual chocolate. Saying "but tasty" could just be a pun.

It could be made of chocolate, but my theory is that Nintendo were trying to make it look like so without taking up too much of the cartridge memory by making too many separate sets of sprites just for world 6.
