In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the Koopalings invaded seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World, stealing the royal [[magic wand]]s and using them to transform their kings into various creatures. With the kings in their vulnerable state, each evil Koopaling then ruled over the world in that king's place, with [[Boom Boom]] and [[Bowser's Minions]] placed all over the kingdoms. Renowned heroic brothers [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] arrived to help them, first starting with [[Grass Land]].

In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', 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 wand and using it to transform the king, and then escaping seconds before Mario arrives. In addition, because Princess Toadstool has already been saved beforehand, the king does not give the player a letter from her.

Each king had been transformed into a creature of some sort by the Koopalings:
*[[Grass Land]] king – Turned into a dog (a [[Cobrat]] in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] remakes).
*[[Desert Land]] king – Turned into a silkworm (a [[Hoopster]] in the SNES and Game Boy Advance remakes).
*[[Water Land]] king – Turned into a [[Spike]]-like {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}} (a [[Dino Rhino]] in the SNES and Game Boy Advance remakes).
*[[Giant Land]] king – Turned into a dinosaur ([[Donkey Kong Jr.]] in the SNES and Game Boy Advance remakes).
*[[Sky Land]] king – Turned into a vulture (an [[Albatoss]] in the SNES and Game Boy Advance remakes).
*[[Ice Land]] king – Turned into a seal (a [[Monty Mole]] in the SNES and Game Boy Advance remakes).
*[[Pipe Land]] king – Turned into a [[Piranha Plant]] (a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' in the SNES and Game Boy Advance remakes).

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' created personalities for several rulers. Many, if not all, of them also looked different.
*[[Prince Hugo]] – the new ruler of Giant Land (likely making him different from the king seen in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'')
*The [[Sultan]] – the ruler of a [[Desert Land#The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3|palace]] that may be in Desert Land
*[[King Mackerel]] – the ruler of [[Mertropolis]], a domed underwater city
*[[Wizard King of the West]] – the wizard of an unknown location that resembles Sky Land
*[[King Windbag]] – the ruler of a domain implied to be Ice Land
*[[Emperor Ed]] – the ruler of Sky Land

[[File:SMB3 Kings KC Mario.png|200px|thumb|left|The kings seen in the first 4koma volume]]
The kings can be seen in the first 4koma volume of the ''[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Super Mario]]'' Kodansha manga. They appear only in the "7 Kings" (7人の王さま) strip, in which [[Princess Peach|Peach]] states that one of the seven kings is her father. It is never fully confirmed which king is truly her father, though Peach wishes that the king from Water Land would be him. The kings' transformed states are the same as in ''Super Mario All-Stars''.

The king of [[Grass Land]] wears a jeweled white turban and has a large black mustache and sideburns.
