The Subcon King (Japanese: サブコンキング, Sabukon kingu) is the king of the dream world of Subcon. His sole appearance is in BS Super Mario USA. The Subcon King rules peacefully along with many Subcons. His world was attacked by the 8-bits, led by Wart, in Super Mario Bros. 2.

''BS Super Mario USA
The king is a character shrouded in obscurity. He apparently ruled over the kingdom of Subcon until the froggish Wart appeared out of nowhere. The Subcon King has been attacked with their kingdom and his people by Wart and the 8 bits ever since the beginning of Super Mario Bros. 2. Finally, the Mushroom Kingdom's great hero, Mario, with the help of his brother Luigi and their friends Toad and Princess Toadstool, saved Subcon, with its king and inhabitants, from Wart's evil spell.

BS Super Mario USA is the only version in which the king appears (or even exists, for that matter). In this version, the Subcon King was quite a helpful character. Like the main characters and villains, the Subcon King also appears frequently as a card in front of the screen. He spoke his lines like everyone else and would perform some special effects for Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool to assist them on their quest. Like others, the Subcon King could either cause earthquakes like a Pow Block, allow characters to make heavy stomps on the ground, transform Mario into his invincible form, destroy all enemies of the screen's range, or give bombs to him.
