Template:Location-infobox Kitchen Island is the setting for Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. It is a skull shaped island that is the home base for Captain Syrup and the Black Sugar Gang. There are seven areas to the game, each one containing hidden treasure and one boss character at the end of each area. The common theme of all of the island's areas is that each one is related to food or something in the kitchen, in name and sometimes in appearance. Kitchen Island is located in the Capri Sea.

Stage 1: Rice Beach

Rice Beach is a basic starting world, with several beach-themed levels. The final couple of levels take place in the caverns at the back of the beach. The boss of the area is Spiked Koopa Troopa. After it is beaten, the tide comes in and levels 1 and 3 become flooded with water, helping the player to reach various secrets. A secret exit can be found in stage 3.

Stage 2: Mt. Teapot

Mt. Teapot is a giant mountain shaped like a teakettle, filled with hot springs and some lava areas. Asparagus Lake sits at the base of the mountain. This is the largest world of the game, amounting to 7 courses (the fourth course is initially Course 10, becoming Course 13 once Wario activates a special trigger at the end of Course 12). The boss of the area is a muscular minotaur named Bīfun. A secret exit in Course 8 leads to Sherbet Land.

Stage 3: Sherbet Land

Completing Mt. Teapot normally will take Wario to Stove Canyon. However if Wario goes through a secret exit in one of the first stages of Mt. Teapot, Wario will reach Sherbet Land, the mountainous arctic area of the game, the first stage consisting of bridges leading to the frozen mountain range. The stage is filled with ice, slippery areas abounding throughout the area. Sherbet Land is also unique in that it has enemies permanently frozen in ice in the background. Hinyari, the penguin boss can be beaten two different ways. Normally, or by leaving through the door in the boss's room since the boss' area is unmarked in this level. As a bonus world, there are secret exits in some stages, meaning there are two paths to the boss.

Stage 4: Stove Canyon

A deep canyon near the center of the island, filled with lava. The stages within are filled with fire-based hazards. A secret exit can be found in stage 4. The boss of the Canyon is a Funfun, a giant, floating ogre head.

Stage 5: SS Tea Cup

The levels in this area consist not only of the pirate ship itself, but the caverns, beaches, oceans, and jungles surrounding it. The boss of the pirate ship is Captain Syrup's pet, a massive buzzard named Bobo.

Stage 6: Parsley Woods

This is a large forest area, with two stages that take place on moving shipment trains and two other stages that involve climbing fork-shaped trees in addition to other forest-themed stages. Fork Tree stands prominently in the middle of the forest. Initially, Wario is trapped here until beating stage 2, which drains the lake (as well as all of the water in stage 1) in the area and opens up an exit to the rest of Kitchen Island. The boss of this area is Zenisukī, a large ghost.

Stage 7: Syrup Castle

A large, imposing tower at the corner of the island, a stone fortress with a skull-shaped castle at the top. As Wario fights his way up the tower, he destroys it bit-by-bit, revealing that its foundation is actually the giant golden Princess Toadstool statue. The final battle is against Captain Syrup. She summons the Genie to fight Wario, and upon her defeat, tries to take Wario out by dropping a huge bomb that destroys the last of her castle. Revealing that the statue was in the castle, Wario tries to take it but Mario arrives and claims the statue.
