'''Grass Land''' (alternatively '''Grasslands'''<ref name=Power>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 16.</ref> or '''The Grassland'''<ref name=Power/>) is the first world of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It has six regular levels, one [[Hammer Bro]]ther to encounter, one [[fortress]], a [[Spade Panel]], two [[Toad House]]s, and a [[castle]] that has been taken over by an [[airship]]. In the third level, and in the fortress, Mario can get two out of the three [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]]s in the game. [[Larry Koopa]], one of the seven [[Koopalings]], guards this area and is the boss of Grass Land. The world map's natural terrain includes ground similar to that found in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|1-1]] and [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|1-3]], several hills, rocks, and a moat surrounding the castle.

The [[kings|king of Grass Land]] wears a turban, and has a beard. During the events of the game, he is turned into a dog by the Koopalings; the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instead see him turned into a [[Cobrat]].

The world map included in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' shows that Grass Land is bordered by [[Desert Land]] to the south and [[Pipe Land]] to the east. Likewise, the opening implies that Grass Land is in close proximity to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Grass Land's world map theme has gone on to be arranged and included in melodies in several other games. A rendition is played on the level-up option screen in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]] in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and the 100 Mario Challenge and Course World menus in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. A medley of this theme and the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' overworld theme is played in [[Mario Bros.' House|Mario's Pad]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Another medley of this music, mixed with ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s overworld theme, can be heard on the stage [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Yoshi's Island]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and on any ''Super Mario'' stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. One other medley of this music, mixed with the map music for [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' is the world map theme for [[World 1 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|World 1]] of ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''.

==''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''==
[[File:GrassLandCartoon.jpg|thumb|The Mushroom Kingdom in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Grass Land does not make an explicit appearance; however, its map shows up as the opening curtain when the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] is the episode's main setting, implying them to be one and the same or at least its animated equivalent. The Mushroom Kingdom (also sometimes called Mushroomland) appears in almost every episode at some point, as it was where Mario and his friends live. Mario and Luigi live in [[Toad]]'s house, while Princess Toadstool lives in the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]].

The episodes in which this world is shown as the title card are "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]", "[[Princess Toadstool for President]]", "[[Reign Storm]]", "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]", "[[Dadzilla]]", "[[Tag Team Trouble]]", "[[Misadventures in Babysitting]]", "[[Mush-Rumors]]", "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]", and "[[True Colors]]".
