| '''Sarasaland''' (referred to specifically as '''Sarasa Land''' in modern games) is a region of the [[Mushroom World]], and the setting for ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. The realm itself is ruled by [[Princess Daisy]] and is made up of four kingdoms: the oceanic [[Muda Kingdom|Muda]], the Easter Island-based [[Easton Kingdom|Easton]], the ancient Egyptian-styled [[Birabuto Kingdom|Birabuto]], and the ancient China-based [[Chai Kingdom|Chai]].

| ==Name Origins==
| |
| The word "sarasa" literally means "cotton print", referring to a type of decorated cloth originating in India 2,000 years ago. The printed or hand-painted cotton fabric (often with a floral or calico pattern) arrived in Japan after the 16th century, where it had an enormous artistic influence, even leading to "Sarasa" becoming a girl's name. There is also a type of goldfish called the "Sarasa Comet" named for the cloth, to which its colour patterns bear resemblance.{{refneeded}}
