'''Minmei'''<ref>{{file link|KC Mario original characters.jpg}}</ref> is an original character that appears in the ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'' manga adaptation in the ''[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Super Mario]]'' series from KC Deluxe. She is a maiden of [[Chai Kingdom]]'s temple and the daughter of [[Dousi]], the {{wp|daoshi}} that runs the place. She is a young woman wearing a long sleeved {{wp|cheongsam}} and her hair tied in an odango hairstyle. She is one of the few characters in the manga series to not have any visible sclera.

[[Mario]] and [[Mecha Kuribō (character)|Mecha Kuribō]] are sheltered in the temple by [[Nankin]] and are taken to Dousi to formulate a plan. Minmei appears and offers Mario food, but not to Mecha Kuribō since robots do not need to eat (unaware that the robot is actually [[Princess Peach]] in disguise), forcing it to have Mario's leftover. Minmei and Nankin then inform Mario that, by leaving the temple, he will be swarmed by [[Pionpi]]. A magic seal prevents them from entering, so Mecha Kuribō decides to create another one that Mario can use to reach the [[Sky Pop]] at the airport. While doing so, Mecha Kuribō takes some rice prepared from Minmei.

Later, a [[Goombo]] knocks at the temple's door, asking for shelter from the Pionpi. Nankin removes the seal, which was used as a door latch, and welcomes the Goombo in, but it takes the seal and destroys it, letting the Pionpi inside. Minmei and Nankin are the first ones to succumb to the Pionpi's bite, turning themselves into Pionpi as well and managing to infect the Dōshi.

After Mario defeats [[Tatanga]], the Pionpi curse is lifted and Minmei and the others return to normal.
