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, the evil [[Koopalings]] invaded the seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World. Each Koopaling came to the castle of the land and knocked out the [[Toad]], then stomped the Mushroom King to steal his [[Magic Wand]] and transformed him into a creature. The evil Koopaling then ruled over the world in the king's place, the king being 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]] came to help them, first starting with [[Grass Land]].
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]].


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 return the Mushroom King back into his human shape. As a Mushroom King, he 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 of [[Dark Land]] after saving the Pipe Maze King. If the player manages to restore the Kings to their human forms while wearing a special suit, then they get a different answer for each different suit. With the Tanooki Suit, the King says "Thank you kind racoon! Please tell me your name?" With the Hammer suit he asks if they could lend him their clothes. With the Frog Suit, he asks if they want to be restored to their original form, thinking that they had been transformed into actual frogs.
To save a king, the Mario Bros. have to go to his castle, where the Toad pleads the heroes to restore the king by taking the magic wand back from the Koopaling. After that, Mario and Luigi must assault the [[airship]], defeat the Koopaling, and return the king back into his human shape. He thanks the Mario Bros. for saving him, and he delivers a letter from [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] enclosed with a "jewel" (or [[List of power-ups|power-up]]). If the player manages to restore the kings to their human forms while wearing a special suit, then they get different rescue dialog for each different suit. This continues until the brothers reach the forbidden kingdom of [[Dark Land]], where [[Bowser]] ended up holding the princess hostage.


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 Toadstool would have been saved beforehand, the King will not give the player a letter from her.

In addition, because Princess Toadstool has already been saved beforehand, the king does not give the player a letter from her.

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''.

“Oh thank heavens! I’m back to my old self again. Thank you so much. Here is a letter from the princess.”
—Kings, Super Mario Bros. 3

The kings[1] are the monarchs of the various lands of the Mushroom World. Seven of them are featured in Super Mario Bros. 3, and each was turned into a different creature by the Koopalings. The kings are unnamed individually, although The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 gave some of them unique identities, and The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! even introduced several similar characters and territories. Like Princess Toadstool, they have Toad helpers.

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3 artwork: The Koopalings are in an airship with Princess Toadstool; Raccoon Mario is flying away as Luigi goes up the stairs, staring at his brother flying off, while the transformed Water Land King points at the airship.
The transformed Water Land king pointing at the Koopalings' airship in Super Mario Bros. 3.

In Super Mario Bros. 3, the Koopalings invaded seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World, stealing the royal magic wands 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.

To save a king, the Mario Bros. have to go to his castle, where the Toad pleads the heroes to restore the king by taking the magic wand back from the Koopaling. After that, Mario and Luigi must assault the airship, defeat the Koopaling, and return the king back into his human shape. He thanks the Mario Bros. for saving him, and he delivers a letter from Princess Toadstool enclosed with a "jewel" (or power-up). If the player manages to restore the kings to their human forms while wearing a special suit, then they get different rescue dialog for each different suit. This continues until the brothers reach the forbidden kingdom of Dark Land, where Bowser ended up holding the princess hostage.

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.

Sea Side King
The Water Land king, after being turned into a kappa. Unlike the sprite, he does not wear a shell, and instead wears a cape.

Each king had been transformed into a creature of some sort by the Koopalings:

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

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

Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]

“"スーマリ3には七人も王さまが出てくるからどれがほんものかわからないのよ" ("In Super Mario Bros. 3, there are seven kings, so who knows which one is the real one.")”
—Princess Peach, Super Mario Kodansha manga
The kings seen in the first 4koma volume of KC Mario
The kings seen in the first 4koma volume

The kings can be seen in the first 4koma volume of the Super Mario Kodansha manga. They appear only in the "7 Kings" (7人の王さま) strip, in which 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.
