The [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] in charge of Giant Land is the comparatively-small [[Iggy Koopa]]. The real [[Kings|king]] of Giant Land is a shirtless man with a turban on his head. During the events of the game, he gets turned into a dinosaur by the Koopalings; the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' see him get turned into [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]


==History==
The map in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' shows that it is to the east of [[Water Land]], and to the west of [[Sky Land]].
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Giant Land is accessed after completing [[Water Land]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. This world contains six [[level]]s, three [[Sledge Bro]]thers, two [[fortress]]es, two [[Spade Panel]]s, four [[Toad House]]s, and a [[castle]] that has been taken over by an [[airship]]. Everything in Giant Land is huge, including the [[? Block]]s and [[Goomba]]s, and the map itself resembles a giant turtle, hence the name. Power-ups, [[Cheep Cheep|Cheep-Cheep]]s, [[Spiny|Spinies]], [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s, and [[Bullet Bill]]s are exceptions to this and thus remain in their original size. The [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] in charge of Giant Land is [[Iggy Koopa]]. The real [[kings|king of Giant Land]] is a shirtless man with a turban on his head. During the events of the game, he gets turned into a dinosaur by the Koopalings; both remakes see him get turned into [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] instead. In the original version, the overworld levels have a green sky.


The map in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' shows that it is to the east of [[Water Land]] and to the west of [[Sky Land]].
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Prince Hugo]] is depicted as the most recent ruler, likely replacing the one seen in the game. [[Madzilla]] also lives here.


Giant Land consists of the following levels:

Giant Land appeared in two episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and was mentioned in two others. It was shown to be similar to the game in appearance, with oversized blocks and pipes. However, the citizens of Giant Land were shown to be actual giants. Giant Land is ruled by [[Prince Hugo the Huge]], who was stated to be the "new ruler" by [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth Koopa]].

'''[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]''': This is the only episode in which this world is shown as the title card. Bowser wants to take over Giant Land, so he transforms [[Roy Koopa|Bully]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth]], [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy]], and [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]] into Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas, enabling to storm through Giant Land and capture [[Prince Hugo the Huge]]. Mario and his friends show up at Prince Hugo's castle to offer their help, but the [[Royal Parrot]] dismisses them due to their small size. Mario and Luigi explore Giant Land to find a [[Super Leaf]], evading an [[Angry Sun]] in the process. As [[Raccoon Mario]] and Raccoon Luigi, the brothers head back to the castle, but are unable to stop the Koopalings. They both lose their Raccoon Power and Luigi gets captured, along with [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], [[Toad]] and Prince Hugo. Mario manages to avoid capture by flying away on the Royal Parrot, whose cage was stolen by the Koopalings to house Princess Toadstool, Toad and Luigi during their capture. He later rescues Prince Hugo and his friends from [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]].

'''[[Do the Koopa]]''': When Bowser is using the [[Doom Dancer Music Box]] to make everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom dance endlessly, it appears that several citizens of Giant Land can be seen dancing around at one point.
