'''Giant Land'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 32</ref><ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' North American revision, PAL NES and worldwide VC distribution ending</ref> (alternatively '''Big Island'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' original North American release, ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' International version ending</ref>, the '''Land Of The Giants'''<ref>''Nintendo Power Strategy Guide'' for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', pages 3, 8 & 35-42</ref>, or the '''Giant World'''<ref>''Nintendo Power Strategy Guide'' for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', pages 34 & 37</ref>) is the fourth world of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This world contains six levels, three [[Sledge Bro]]thers, two Fortresses, two [[Spade Panel]]s, four [[Toad Houses]], and a [[Kings|king's]] palace. Everything in this world is huge, including the [[? Block]]s and [[Goomba]]s, hence the name. Power-ups, [[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 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.]]

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.

==''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''==

'''[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]''': 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. He later rescues Prince Hugo and his friends from [[Kastle Koopa]].

'''[[Princess Toadstool for President]]''': Although Giant Land does not appear, Bowser and Cheatsy unleash a pack of hungry [[Big Paragoomba|Giant Land Paragoomba]]s upon a crop in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], but Mario and Luigi show up and defeat them.

'''[[Dadzilla]]''': Once [[Madzilla]] is freed from [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth]] and [[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie]], after Princess Toadstool corruptly says that they'll take him to enjoy a new life in the Mushroom Kingdom, Toad tells him that he'd fit right in Giant Land.

'''[[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.

*The music for Giant Land is similar to [[Water Land]]'s music.
