I read this on the wiki and was wondering if you could clear it up for me, my interprutation is that the Island is fake and only a part of the mainland sunk in the Final Wreckening.

While many hints have been given that the island was fake, there is still some debate as to what the true nature of the island was. In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, Courtney accidentally runs into a large backdrop wall of a forest, with a burger joint on the outside of the wall. Believing the island is fake, she scales the wall and discovers that the "island" had been close to civilization and the entire camp was a set made to fool the campers into thinking it was a real island.

In Beach Blanket Bogus, Chris takes the contestants to the beach by bus. More evidence that the island was false is that in Top Dog, the cast arrived at the island by bus and that the challenge is to find a way back to the film lot, which would be impossible, since the film lot was not on the island.

Finally, in The Aftermath: IV, Chef and Chris accidentally drove to Camp Wawanakwa. However, this may have been a joke to exaggerate Chris' poor navigation skills. All this may prove that Camp Wawanakwa was on a false island.

However, there has been a full aerial view of the island (most prominently in X-Treme Torture), and it clearly depicts it as an island with nothing more than a few smaller islands around it and no mainland nearby. However, as it is a TV show in the Total Drama universe as well, the editors may have edited out any mainland from the shots. The issue is further confused by the fact that the island sinks in The Final Wreck-ening.
