Giant Land appeared in two episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and was mentioned in two others. It was shown to be similar to the game in appearance, with oversized blocks and pipes. However, the citizens of Giant Land were shown to be actual giants. Giant Land is ruled by [[Prince Hugo the Huge]], who was stated to be the "new ruler" by [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth Koopa]].

'''[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]''': This is the only episode in which this world is shown as the title card. Bowser wants to take over Giant Land, so he transforms [[Roy Koopa|Bully]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth]], [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy]], and [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]] into Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas, enabling to storm through Giant Land and capture [[Prince Hugo the Huge]]. Mario and his friends show up at Prince Hugo's castle to offer their help, but the [[Royal Parrot]] dismisses them due to their small size. Mario and Luigi explore Giant Land to find a [[Super Leaf]], evading an [[Angry Sun]] in the process. As [[Raccoon Mario]] and Raccoon Luigi, the brothers head back to the castle, but are unable to stop the Koopalings. They both lose their Raccoon Power and Luigi gets captured, along with [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], [[Toad]] and Prince Hugo. Mario manages to avoid capture by flying away on the Royal Parrot. He later rescues Prince Hugo and his friends from [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]].

He later rescues Prince Hugo and his friends from [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]].


'''[[Princess Toadstool for President]]''': Although Giant Land does not appear, Bowser and Cheatsy unleash a pack of hungry [[Big Paragoomba|Giant Land Paragoomba]]s upon a crop in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], but Mario and Luigi show up and defeat them.
