The King (as his role is credited) appears as a main character in the Super Mario Bros. film. He is Daisy's father, husband of the late queen and the king of Dinohattan, but had been overthrown and de-evolved by President Koopa into a giant sentient fungus that had spread across the parallel world to obstruct Koopa's construction projects.

He continually aids Mario and Luigi throughout the film in their quest to defeat Koopa. Once they successfully do so by killing Koopa, the King reverts back to his human form.

Trivia

  • The King is identified by Toad in the original screenplay with the name King Karma.[1]
    • The Todd Strasser novelization of the film and other promotional material identified the character as King Bowser.[2]
