===Background===
===''BS Super Mario USA===
The Subcon King was apparently involved with the past event before the game. He ruled over the kingdom of Subcon a long time ago until the evil froggish king Wart appeared. 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]], his friends [[Toad]] and [[Princess Toadstool]], saved Subcon, with its king and inhabitants, from Wart's evil spell.

===''BS Super Mario USA===
''BS Super Mario USA'' is the only game in which the king appears (or even exists, for that matter). In this game, 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 Mario|invincible form]], destroy all enemies of the screen's range, or give bombs to him.

The Subcon King first appeared in ''BS Super Mario USA''. Directly after the events of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', the Subcon King thanked Mario for saving Subcon from Wart. As a thanks, he made many [[A Plumber's Lament|golden statues of Mario]] around his kingdom. However, so suddenly, Wart and the 8 bits came back and attacked the kingdom and stole all the golden statues, he then imprisoned the Subcon King with the Subcons. Wart then give golden statues to the generals and some of them are scattered all over the whole dream world. So Mario and friends must stop Wart and his army, retrieve all of the statues and save the Subcon King.

In the game, 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, which somehow could do 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 Mario|invincible form]], destroy all enemies of the screen's range, or give bombs to him.
In the end, Mario was able to succeed his second adventure in Subcon. He saved the world, its kingdom, the inhabitants and the Subcons, by defeating Wart, the leaders and the 8 bits, and managed to retrieve all of the [[A Plumber's Lament|Gold Statues of Mario]]. The King thanked Mario, and the Subcon exiled Wart to another dream world.
