Kings
- “Hey you! How about lending me your clothes? No dice? What a drag!”
- —Mushroom Kings, Super Mario Bros. 3
The Mushroom Kings are the monarchs of the various lands of the Mushroom World. They are found in Super Mario Bros. 3. There are seven kings in total, and each was turned into a different creature.
- Grass Land King – Turned into a dog (a Cobrat in the SNES and Game Boy Advance remakes).
- Desert Hill King – Turned into a spider (a Hoopster in the remakes).
- Sea Side King – Turned into a kappa (a Dino Rhino in the remakes).
- Big Island King – Turned into a dinosaur (Donkey Kong Jr. in the remakes).
- The Sky King – Turned into a vulture (an Albatoss in the remakes).
- Iced Land King – Turned into a seal (a Monty Mole in the remakes).
- Pipe Maze King – Turned into a Piranha Plant (a Green Yoshi in the remakes).
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 Toadstool, they have Toad helpers. The Mushroom Kings are not to be confused with King Toadstool, the Mushroom King.

Kings From The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 created personalities for several of the Mushroom Kings. Many, if not all, of them also looked different.
- Desert Hill – The Sultan
- Big Island – Prince Hugo (Note that Prince Hugo was established as a new ruler in his only appearance, and, considering that The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 takes place after Super Mario Bros. 3, it is likely that he is a different King than the in-game one.)
- The Sky – Emperor Ed
- Iced Land – King Windbag
