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 series
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
Sarasaland has not actually made an actual appearance in many years, and has since been reduced to mere-mentions in Daisy's profile-information for her game appearances, including Mario Superstar Baseball and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Name
The name "Sarasaland" comes from the calico textiles imported by Portuguese traders 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 floral patterns made up of multiple, contrasting colors, which is why Sarasaland's ruler, Princess Daisy, is named after a flower. Moreover, just as animal color patterns are named after the fabric (i.e. calico cats, etc.), Sarasaland's 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. 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 spaces or hyphens are methods of romanizing the interpunct used in the Japanese name, which had been disregarded during the initial Super Mario Land localization. In addition, the Official GameBoy Players Guide refers to it only as the country of Sarasa, while Daisy's Mario Superstar Baseball profile erroneously calls it Sarasara Land.

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