''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 54.</ref>) is the fourth [[world]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This world contains six [[level]]s, three [[Sledge Bro]]thers, two [[fortress]]es, two [[Spade Panel]]s, four [[Toad House]]s, and a [[castle]] that has been taken over by an [[airship]]. Everything in this world is huge, including the [[? Block]]s and [[Goomba]]s, and the map itself resembles a giant turtle, hence the name. Power-ups, [[Cheep Cheep|Cheep-Cheep]]s, [[Spiny|Spinies]], [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s, and [[Bullet Bill]]s are exceptions to this and thus remain in their original size.

The [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] in charge of Giant Land is the comparatively-small [[Iggy Koopa]]. The real [[kings|king of Giant Land]] is a shirtless man with a turban on his head. During the events of the game, he gets turned into a dinosaur by the Koopalings; the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' see him get turned into [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]

The map in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' shows that it is to the east of [[Water Land]] and to the west of [[Sky Land]].

In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Prince Hugo]] is depicted as the most recent ruler, likely replacing the one seen in the game. [[Madzilla]] also lives here.

The sky is light green in the NES version of this world's overworld levels.

==''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''==
[[File:GiantLandCartoon.jpg|thumb|Giant Land in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
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, whose cage was stolen by the Koopalings to house Princess Toadstool, Toad and Luigi during their capture. 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.

'''[[Dadzilla]]''': Once [[Madzilla]] is freed from [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth]] and [[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie]], after Princess Toadstool says that they will take him to enjoy a new life in the Mushroom Kingdom, Toad tells him that he would fit right in Giant Land.

'''[[Do the Koopa]]''': When Bowser is using the [[Doom Dancer Music Box]] to make everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom dance endlessly, it appears that several citizens of Giant Land can be seen dancing around at one point.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Mario Party]]'', the song "Let's Go Lightly" (played on the minigames [[Platform Peril]] and [[Bobsled Run]]) is a cover version of Giant Land's music, but with additional rhythm, although part of the original rhythm is slightly different.
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', an arrangement of Giant Land's music plays as part of the "Super Mario Bros. 3 Medley" track.
*The entire island forms the rough shape of a [[Koopa Troopa]].
