Sarasaland

Sarasaland is the setting for Super Mario Land. The realm itself is a country ruled by Princess Daisy. It consists of four constituent countries referred to as kingdoms. It is separate from the Mushroom Kingdom, but exists within the same universe. Daisy is the only known ruler of Sarasaland, although she has mentioned her father in games including Mario Party 3 and Fortune Street.

Super Mario Land
In Super Mario Land, Sarasaland, a once peaceful country, is attacked by an evil, space alien named Tatanga. He hypnotizes the inhabitants, taking control over Sarasaland, and taking Daisy captive. Mario comes and returns peace to Sarasaland, rescuing Daisy and foiling Tatanga's conquest.

In Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, it is revealed that Wario had used Tatanga's attack as a means to take over Mario's Castle while Mario was saving Sarasaland.

Other
Although Sarasaland has not actually made an actual appearance in many years, it is often mentioned in Daisy's official biographies in various spinoffs and sports games, including Mario Superstar Baseball and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Daisy has mentioned her father in games including Mario Party 3 and Fortune Street

Name
The name "Sarasaland" comes from calico textiles that were imported from India to Japan during the Edo period, becoming widely popular and known by its Portuguese name, "sarasa". Calico, or sarasa, textiles are most commonly flower patterns, made up of multiple, contrasting colors, which is why it is ruled by Daisy, a flower-inspired princess. Just as animal color patterns are named after the fabric (i.e. calico cats, etc.) its name alludes to the fact it is comprised of multiple, diverse kingdoms.

"Sarasaland" was left untranslated for the English release of Super Mario Land, and subsequent releases have often rendered the name differently, such as Daisy's Mario Superstar Baseball profile erroneously refers to it as Sarasara Land. The Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins manual spaces the name out as Sarasa Land and the Daisy trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee hyphenates the name as Sarasa-land; both are ways to romanize the interpunct used in the Japanese name, which was ignored during the initial Super Mario Land localization.

Constituent countries
As mentioned, Sarasaland is made up of four, separate kingdoms. They are all the inspiration of real life locations.
 * Muda Kingdom: based on Mu and Bermuda.
 * Easton Kingdom: based on Easter Island.
 * Birabuto Kingdom: influenced by ancient Egypt.
 * Chai Kingdom: influenced by ancient China.
