Although feared as an invader, outside of his spacecraft he is only a meek violet alien. During the events of ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', Tatanga captures [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], the princess of [[Sarasaland]], and orders his armies to guard the land's four kingdoms. Tatanga is also the first extraterrestrial main villain to appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

Tatanga makes his debut appearance in ''Super Mario Land'', as the main antagonist. Appearing out of a large black cloud, he invades Sarasaland and captures Princess Daisy while hypnotizing the inhabitants of Sarasaland. With them under his control, he has the most powerful of his new minions guard the four kingdoms of Sarasaland - the [[Birabuto Kingdom]], [[Muda Kingdom]], [[Easton Kingdom]], and [[Chai Kingdom]]. When [[Mario]] defeats the hypnotized creatures and liberates all four kingdoms, Tatanga engages with him in air combat in a last-ditch effort. During the climactic battle, Tatanga fights in his war robot, [[Pagosu]], while Mario fights in his airplane, the [[Sky Pop]]. Mario has to fire his missiles at Pagosu while dodging its big projectiles, which immediately split into three small projectiles upon being fired. After twenty-five hits, Pagosu is destroyed, and the player gains 5000 points. Immediately afterward, Mario rescues Princess Daisy and peace is returned to Sarasaland.

Tatanga also appears in the board game adaptation, ''[[Das Super Mario Spiel]]'', where he reprises his role as the game's final boss. However, his artwork on the game board depicts him with a teal coloration, rather than purple.

Although his role in this game is not as significant, he does play a part. While Mario is distracted fighting Tatanga in ''Super Mario Land'', [[Wario]] takes over [[Mario Land (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|Mario Land]] and occupies [[Mario's castle]]. After Tatanga's initial defeat, he is given one of the 6 [[Golden Coin]]s by Wario, and then sets up a base in the [[Space Zone]].

During ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', Mario tracks down Tatanga, and the two fight for a second time. However, in this battle, Tatanga fights with a different, smaller spacecraft, capable of shooting energy weapons and dive-bombing Mario. When he descends for his dive-bomb attack, Mario must jump on top of the vessel to land a hit. After three hits, or six [[fireball]]s, Mario defeats Tatanga and recovers the Golden Coin of Space Zone. Like all other bosses except Wario, Tatanga falls off the screen upon defeat, though his spaceship simply disappears before he falls. While falling, his full body is shown, being notably shorter than [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]].

Tatanga appears as the villain in the ''Game Boy'' comic books spun off from the [[Nintendo Comics System]], produced by the company [[Valiant]]. In the comics, Tatanga lives in an alternate dimension that exists within a Game Boy. He hypnotizes [[Herman Smirch]], a human from New Jersey, while playing ''Super Mario Land'', causing the man to release Tatanga from the Game Boy. Upon arriving on [[Earth]], Tatanga hopes to conquer the planet and rule it with an iron fist. He is released several times, each time attempting to conquer an Earth monument, such as {{wp|Walt Disney World}}, the {{wp|World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center}}, or the [[Great Wall of China]]. However, Mario is always released from the Game Boy as well to thwart his schemes and bring him back to the Game Boy dimension.

Tatanga appears in the [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|''Super Mario'' gag manga by Kodansha]], as a recurring character.
Tatanga appears in the [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|''Super Mario'' gag manga by Kodansha]], which depicts the events of ''Super Mario Land''. He is seen doing many of the things described in that game's instruction manual, such as abducting Daisy, hypnotizing enemies, eating a Torion, and trying to make Daisy marry him. Tatanga later appears during a tennis tournament as [[Bowser]]'s tennis partner.
 
In ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'' he plays the role of main antagonist. He is seen doing many of the things described in that game's instruction booklet, such as abducting Daisy, having hypnotic powers, eating Torions and creating Honens, and trying to force Daisy to marry him.
 
Tatanga later appears in ''[[Super Mario Land 3 (manga)|Super Mario Land 3]]'' during a tennis tournament as [[Bowser]]'s tennis partner, and makes a cameo next to Daisy on the sidelines in the ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' arc.


During ''[[Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Tsu no Kinka 2]]'', Wario convinces Tatanga to get revenge on Mario, offering a new spaceship to replace the destroyed [[Pagosu]]. When Wario manipulates Daisy into becoming [[Warudaisy]], she hitches a ride on Tatanga's spaceship to his home planet. Tatanga announces his marriage to the now evil Daisy, but she seizes the opportunity to use a brainwashing technique on his people to serve Wario, and she proceeds to convert [[Luigi]] and [[Princess Peach|Peach]] as well. However, Mario breaks the spell by kissing Daisy on the cheek, stunning Tatanga as he drops the wedding ring he was about to give to Daisy. He attacks Mario with his spaceship, dropping gas bombs which prompt Luigi, Peach, and Mario to put on suits, but the nearby aliens are caught in the gas; when Mario wonders why Tatanga would risk harming his own people, Wario's hologram shows up and reveals that it is because Tatanga is under his mind control. With the help of the [[Hippo]]'s [[bubble|soap bubble]]s, Daisy and the aliens float to safety. Mario catches a wide space cutter and tosses it back at Tatanga's ship, cutting it in half and causing an explosion that leaves behind a letter to Daisy, saying that he enjoyed his time with her, making her teary-eyed. Later, Tatanga is revealed to have survived and arrives to help in his spaceship with Daisy, who takes her flowery earrings off and throws them to Mario and Luigi, turning them to [[Fire Mario|Fire Mario and Fire Luigi]] as all three blast Wario together.
After his defeat by Mario's Sky Pop, Tatanga applies for a job as Wario's henchman to get revenge on Mario. When Wario casts a spell to make Daisy evil, she then becomes recipient to Tatanga's affection. Tatanga attempts to marry the now evil Daisy, taking her to the moon for the ceremony, where there are other aliens like himself. However, Mario breaks the spell, leading to Daisy again rejecting Tatanga, leaving him reduced to tears.
   
   
While an overall villainous figure, Tatanga is also depicted as comical, particularly in his genuine crush on Daisy. A recurring gag is for characters to be disappointed by Tatanga's short height. In the manga, he is given a more detailed design as opposed to the game. He now has a frilled black uniform, a cape, batlike ears, a belt with the letter T on it, and an entire mouth full of fangs.

[[File:SML_enemies_SMKun.png|thumb|right|Tatanga and his minions working with Bowser in ''Super Mario-kun'' volume 3]]
In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Tatanga is mentioned in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 2|volume 2]], when Mario recalls the ending of ''Super Mario Land'', right when he rescued Daisy.
 
Tatanga appears in the last chapter of the [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|next volume]], where he rents his minions to Bowser. A newspaper clip read by [[Bowser's Minions]] reveals the negotiations between the two villains, with Tatanga wanting to ask for ¥5,000 in total and Bowser offering ¥50.
 
Tatanga last appearance in the manga is in the [[Super Mario-kun Volume 9|ninth volume]], where he appears in the Space Zone, steals Mario's collected Golden Coins, and flees, prompting Mario, [[Carrot]], [[Yokkī]], and Hippo to follow him. During the battle, Tatanga seems to have the upper hand until his projectiles are used against him, but he then shoots a spherical projectile that Yokkī eats, later revealed to be fireworks, which send the heroes back to Earth. While Tatanga rejoices, someone surprises him from behind. Back on Earth, a [[Santa Claus]]-like character appears and gifts Mario the six Golden Coins, who is later revealed to be Bowser, who wanted to do something good for his "best enemy" during the Christmas season. The chapter ends with a shot of a bruised Tatanga, muttering something about a horned Santa.

Tatanga makes an appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an Advanced-class Shield-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] with two support slots. It simply raises the user's power without granting any special effects. The spirit's puppet fighter is [[Morton]], who starts the battle with a [[Super Scope]], on the [[smashwiki:Battlefield form|Battlefield form]] of the [[Mario Galaxy (stage)|Mario Galaxy]] stage. Tatanga is also mentioned in the Palutena's Guidance for Daisy, where Pit and Palutena discuss Daisy's history; Pit ends up dismissing Tatanga as little more than a cheap substitute for Bowser to kidnap a princess and kick off the plot.
