The Minus World was an optional secret world that was accessible after completing Zebes in World 9 and was originally the final world in Mushroom Kingdom Fusion. To get there, the player had to take the pipe on the right that reads -1, or go through the Warp Zone (Free Roam Enabled) and take the portal to this world. This world was based on bizarre and old arcade games played on underrated consoles. The world didn't have an exact World Boss, nor did it require a World Key to unlock Twisted Reality.
Starting with the v0.82 version, The Minus World was scrapped, and all of its existing levels were relocated to other worlds, most notably Worlds 2, 8, and 9. As a result, this leaves Edge of Beyond as the current final world in the game as Twisted Reality becomes unlocked in the not-yet-released v1.0 version of MKF.
Description[]
The Minus World was an unusual realm featuring levels based on games that generally didn't match the genre of any of the other worlds, such as obscure games from MS-DOS or lesser-known systems or games that were just plain bizarre. Levels based on games that one wouldn't normally think could be converted into platforming levels, such as puzzle or strategy games, would have been right at home there. The Minus World was also where most testing levels were put in the demo versions.

Trivia[]
- This world's name and number was based on the infamous glitch with the same name in the original 1985 NES version of Super Mario Bros. That "world" only consisted of an underwater level (similar in appearance to World 7-2), which took the player nowhere but the start as the level continually loops when the player reaches the end and the level can never truly end until the player's lives are all lost or if the player restarts the game.
- The map of this world was based on the overworld from the 1982 arcade game Q*Bert.
- The shopkeeper of this world was Morshu, who is also the shopkeeper of World 8.
- The "LEVEL COMPLETE" script that appears after defeating a boss used a font based on the 1993 video game Plok!. Originally, this world and every world in the game used a font used in the Metal Slug series before it was decided that each world would have a world-specific font. This font was later scrapped as the world was removed from the game.
