==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Water Land becomes accessible after completing [[Desert Land]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. It is a water-themed world with nine stages, two [[Hammer Bro]]thers, two [[fortress]]es, five [[Toad House]]s, five [[Spade Panel]]s, and a [[castle]] that has been taken over by an [[airship]]. [[Cheep Cheep|Cheep-Cheep]]s and [[Blooper|Bloober]]s are common enemies in this world, and the [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] is also encountered here. Water Land is the first world in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' to have more than one fortress. In the original version, most of the overworld sections of this world's levels have a peach-colored sky. The green bridges on the map swap between crossable and non-crossable each time Mario or Luigi either completes a course or loses a life. Additionally, the map of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' shows that World 3 is located to the south of [[Desert Land|World 2]] and west of [[Giant Land|World 4]].

The ruler of the swift tides of Water Land is [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]. The real [[kings|king of Water Land]] (who bears a resemblance to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]) resides in a castle on an island chain. The chain of islands is in the shape of [[Japan]], with the castle being located where the city of {{wp|Kyoto}} would be, the city in which the [[Nintendo]] headquarters is located. During the events of the game, the Water Land king is turned into a {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}; the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' see him transformed as a [[Dino Rhino]]. 

On the world map, if the player has a [[Hammer]] in their inventory, they can break a rock to gain access to the canoe and then use it to cross the water to an island with two [[Toad House]]s and two [[Spade Panel]]s and a second island with a third Toad House. The [[Family Computer]] version has a glitch involving the canoe that can be performed by staying on the canoe and getting a [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]], which will result in walking on water, getting into a glitched map, and it can also be used to access every other world.

The levels in Water Land include the following:

The arena differs depending on where they are fought on the map. If encountered on land, they will be fought in an area with a hill to the left as well as a row of bushes extending to the right. If encountered in the water, the floor will be submerged. Defeating one of the Hammer Brother pairs will award the player with a chest containing a [[Hammer]], while the other will yield a [[Super Star|Starman]]. If the player met the unlock conditions for the [[Treasure Ship]], one of the Hammer Brothers will be replaced with the ship.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Water Land was only mentioned in one episode of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''; in "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]," [[Roy|Bully]] (though speaking through [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]]'s mouth due to an animation error) suggested that they could take over Water Land after having conquered [[Giant Land]]. Despite Water Land not actually appearing in the show, "[[The Ugly Mermaid]]" does show this kingdom as the title card.

===''Nintendo Comics System''===
Water Land is the setting of the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story ''[[Fins and Roses]]'', which has a heavily armed Wendy O. Koopa set up an ambush for Mario, only to be annoyed by [[Stanley the Talking Fish]] while waiting for the plumber's arrival.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
In ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', [[Morton]] and [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]] have both set up bases in Water Land, a filthy houseboat and an underground laboratory, respectively. After the [[Mushroom King]] is transformed into a [[rabbit]] by Morton and no one can figure out how to change him back, Luigi and [[Toad]] head to Water Land to find Morton and get answers, with some of the creatures they encounter being Cheep Cheeps, Bloobers and Jelectros.
