[@FancifulDancingStar]

@Davis Bowe @@pvzmariosonica8fan Ya, the island on that part of the map is shaped like Japan, and the location of the castle correlates with the location of Nintendo's headquarters, so the king looking like Mario is definitely intentional.

Water Land is probably another version of the Mushroom Kingdom in an alternate universe that Mario somehow managed to teleport into between World 2 and 3, and one day Mario became king of Water Land.

[@lonkworld2545]

I’ve gotta say, I prefer the NES version because it has unique sprites for the kings transformations, unlike SNES and GBA, that reused sprites from other games like Super Mario Bros 2 or Super Mario World. But the cinematics in GBA are a really nice addition!

[@iqskirby]

I appreciate some of the changes made with the SNES one, like changing the spider in World 2 to be a Hoopster and changing the bird in World 5 into an Albatoss (and, while not the greatest resemblance, replacing the seal with a Monty Mole, maybe because of the nose resemblance), but I find it odd that other enemies were used in place of the Spike and Venus Fire Trap transformations in Worlds 3 and 7, and why the Dino Rhino was put in World 3 (SNES) when it would've made more sense to replace the dinosaur transformation in World 4 (NES).

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

The king's transformation where he becomes Yoshi is my most favorite. Not exactly rideable, but still that cameo was pretty cute. Also, fun fact: Piranha Plant and Yoshi share the same World King while in different versions, NES and SNES, respectively. And while Yoshi appeared in Smash Bros. five times and once for Piranha Plant, their appearances in Ultimate could possibly be referred or inspired from their king's transformation cameos from World 7.
