>"After an ill-fated attempt to conquer "Ancient Athens," Atlantis falls out of favor with the deities and submerges into the Atlantic Ocean."

Many koopas working for Bowser are magicians or named after composers. This represents the peak of Atlantis as a culturally advanced civilization.

The greed and hubris of Atlantis is shown by Bowser kidnapping Peach and entering hostility with the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser's castle is submerged as they fall from grace as we see in the map.

I can see Atlantis being an inspiration for Valley of Bowser, yeah.
Maybe just a coincidence, but the same year SMW came out, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water was airing on japanese TV, which is about atlanteans and stuff.

Valley of Bowser is an adaptation of an old, long forgotten cliche of the hollow earth. The idea that there's a prehistoric world that exists on the inverse of the planet's crust. That's why there's lightning in there. The concept got revived recently in Godzilla vs Kong. Super Mario World is a send up to old time adventure serials and more generally the 1930s where this kind of thing was popular. Hence the ragtime music everywhere.
