The Satsueijo is an old film studio located in Toad Town, it appears in the second chapter of Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World 6 of the Super Mario Kodansha manga.

Bowser and the Koopalings use the studios as their second hideout. Probably using something from their previous hideout and props from the studio, Wendy is sent dressed as a beggar to kidnap Princess Peach. Once she returns with the princess, Bowser and his kids shoots a cheap-looking movie in which he is the superhero protecting and marrying the princess after saving her from monsters dressed up as Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi. Once filmed and edited, Bowser sends it to the Kinoko Police to ask for a ransom or he will air the movie on TV, but he made the mistake of putting the return address on the tape package. In a matter of minutes, the Police and the SKP have the studio surrounded.

First, Mario almost succeeds to bring Bowser out after dressing up Yoshi as his concerned mother, but the ruse was up, then Luigi tries to sneak in as a delivery guy, but gets trapped in a Chain-Link cage, and when he has to reveal the food has laxatives to avoid Peach from eating it, Bowser furiously pulls out a cannon to use against the town. The police barges in and raid the place, but Bowser manages to shoot a nuclear Banzai Bill. Cape Mario manages to deactivate it and hit it back at its sender, who is later arrested with his kids.

Of the studios, only some props and sceneries are seen. The studio is also filled with crates of oranges. While Magikoopa and other minions are present, they are only seen briefly during the raid, occupying some areas.
