The '''Mushroom Kings''' are the monarchs of the various lands of the [[Mushroom World]]. They are first found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. There are seven Mushroom Kings in total, and each was turned into a different creature by [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopalings|children]]. The Kings do not have official names, although ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' gave some of them names, and ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' even introduced several Mushroom King-like characters and their territories. Like [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], they have [[Toad (species)|Toad]] helpers.

Not long ago, while the [[Koopalings]] are invading the seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World. A Koopaling came to the castle of the land and knocks out the [[Toad (species)|Toad]], then stomps the Mushroom King to steal his [[Magic Wand]] and transforms him into a creature. The evil Koopaling now rules over the world in the king's place now that he is in his vunerable state, with [[Boom Boom]] and the [[Koopa Troop]] all over the kingdoms, until [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], sent by the princess of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] come to help them, first starting with [[Grass Land]].

To save a Mushroom King, the Mario Bros. have to go to his castle, where the Toad is pleading the heroes to save the world and return the Mushroom King back to the way he was, with the Magic Wand the Koopaling stole from him. After that, Mario and Luigi must defeat the Koopaling, destroy the [[airship]] and will return the Mushroom King King back into his human shape. As a Mushroom King king thanks the Mario Bros. for saving him, he gives a letter from [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] to Mario and receives a special item. Mario and Luigi may continue their way to the next kingdom or [[Dark Land]] after saving the Pipe Maze King. If the player manages to restore them to their human forms in either the Hammer costume, the Frog costume, or the Tanooki suit, the King will instead ask the Mario Bros. if they could lend them their clothes or asking if Mario or Luigi wants them to be restored in their original forms (mistakingly thinking that they had been transformed into actual frogs instead of simply donning a frog suit).

In the GBA remake, ''Super Mario Advance 4'', if the player defeated Bowser before saving the kings, upon selecting the castle, the player is treated to a cutscene where it shows the Koopaling of the respective world invading the castle, snatching the Magic Scepter, using it to transform the king, and then escaping seconds before Mario arrives. In addition, because Princess Peach would have been saved beforehand, the King will not give the player a letter from her.

''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' created personalities for several of the Mushroom Kings. Many, if not all, of them also looked different.

*Desert Hill &ndash; The [[Sultan]]

*Big Island &ndash; [[Prince Hugo]] (Note that Prince Hugo was established as a new ruler in [[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas|his only appearance]], and, considering that ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' takes place after ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', it is likely that he is a different King than the in-game one.)
