'''Ōsama''' (Japanese: 王様,<ref>''BS Super Mario USA'' voice cast roll</ref> meaning "King") is the king of the dream world of [[Subcon]]. His sole appearance is in ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', in which he is solely referred to by his kingly title in both dialogue and the closing credits, with no proper name ever being given.
The '''Subcon King''' (Japanese: サブコンキング, ''Sabukonkingu'') is the king and is the real ruler of the world of [[Subcon]]. He first appeared in ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'' which is currently his only known appearance. The Subcon King resides in [[World 7 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|his castle]] along with many [[Subcon (species)|Subcons]]. His world and kingdom is often attacked by the [[8-bits]], led by [[Wart]], ever since ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.


Ōsama rules Subcon peacefully along with many of the fairies also known as [[Subcon (species)|Subcon]]s, although he himself is human, as is [[Shireikan|his right-hand man]]. His world was attacked by the [[8 bits]], led by [[Wart]], in both ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and its pseudo-sequel, ''BS Super Mario USA'', although the king only appeared in the latter game.
==History==
==History==
===''BS Super Mario USA''===
===Background===
After their defeat in the first game, Wart and his cronies escaped to another dream realm and laid low for some time, before returning to Subcon once again. This prompts Ōsama to call [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toad]] back to Subcon using the power of the stars.
Despite his debut in ''BS Super Mario USA'', the Subcon King was involved with the past event before the game. He has been attacked with their kingdom and his people by Wart and the 8 bits ever since the beginning of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Finally, the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]'s great hero, [[Mario]], with the help of his brother [[Luigi]], his friends [[Toad]] and [[Princess Toadstool]], saved Subcon, with its king and inhabitants, from Wart's evil spell.


While Mario and the others battle Wart's army, images of the main characters, both heroic and villainous, appear on screen, delivering commentary and assisting the player on their quest. Like the other characters, Ōsama can either cause earthquakes like a [[POW Block]], allow characters to make heavy stomps on the ground, transform Mario into his [[Invincible Mario|invincible form]], destroy all enemies of the screen's range, or give [[bomb]]s to him.
===''Super Mario'' Series===
====''BS Super Mario USA====
The Subcon King first appeared in ''BS Super Mario USA''. After the events of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', the Subcon King thanked Mario for saving Subcon from Wart. As a thanks, he made many golden statues of Mario around his kingdom. However, so suddenly, Wart and the 8 bits came back and attacked the kingdom and stole all the golden statues, he then imprisoned the Subcon King with the Subcons. Wart then give golden statues to the generals and some of them are scattered all over the whole dream world. So Mario and friends must stop Wart and his army, retrieve all of the statues and save the Subcon King.


==Notes==
In the end, Mario was able to succeed his second adventure in Subcon. He saved the world, its kingdom, the inhabitants and the Subcon, by defeating Wart, the leaders and the 8 bits and managed to retrieve all [[A Plumber's Lament|Gold Statues of Mario]]. The King thanked Mario, and the Subcon exiled Wart to another dream world.
*His royal fanfare is the first bar from "{{wp|March of the Volunteers}}", China's national anthem.


==Gallery==
In the game, like the main characters and villains, the Subcon King also appears frequently as a card in front of the screen, which somehow could do some special effects for Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to assist them on their quest. Like others, the Subcon King could cause earthquakes like a [[Pow Block]], allow characters to make heavy stomps on the ground, transform the Mario into his [[Invincible Mario|invincible form]], destroy all enemies in the screen, or give bombs to him.

The Subcon King supposely has to have a name, but instead, he was known as '''Unknown I'''. Probably because the character did not recieve a name during the development of the game. But he is mostly known as the king of Subcon.
