Hi. This is Thesecret1070. I am an admin of this site. Edit as much as you wish, but one little thing... If you are going to edit a lot, then make yourself a user and login. Other than that, enjoy Villains Wiki!!!
I am not interested in what Mario would do! Tatanga does as he pleases!

~ Tatanga
Emperor Tatanga, also known as Tatanga the Mysterious Spaceman, is the main antagonist of the 1989 platform game Super Mario Land and one of the secondary antagonists of its 1992 sequel Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.
He is an alien from outer space that invades Sarasaland and hypnotizes all of its inhabitants into becoming his minions in order to kidnap their ruler, Princess Daisy, and make her his bride and take over her kingdom.
Tatanga is a small impish creature, whose body is entirely purple in colour. Tatanga has large pointed ears, and tall eyes that contain small black pupils. His mouth is notably somewhat similar to that of a Goomba, as two noticeable fangs poke upwards from his bottom jaw. He is of short stature, being noticeably shorter than Mario.
Due to his simple appearance, Tatanga's rare appearances in other media tend to redesign the spaceman. In Valiant Comics' Game Boy comic, Tatanga's appearance is drastically different to that from the games, as he is a very tall, and much more humanoid, creature. This incarnation of Tatanga has facial features that resemble the original design's - though with the addition of dark eyebrows and a protruding snout - and wears a black jumpsuit with large grey spaulders and a red belt. In Kazuki Motoyama Super Mario manga eries, Tatanga more resembles his original appearance, though his ears are more bat-like in design. The manga's redesign also dresses Tatanga in regal clothing - he wears a ruff around his neck, a black cape, and a large belt with the letter T in its centre.
Biography[]
Super Mario Land[]
Tatanga appeared as the main antagonist of Super Mario Land. He invaded Sarasaland and kidnapped Princess Daisy to marry her and make her his queen so he could rule Sarasaland with her by his side. Mario traveled through four kingdoms and fought Tatanga. Mario defeated him and rescued Daisy.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins[]
Though he appears to die in the previous battle, only his ship was destroyed. Tatanga survives, and flees to Mario Land.
Tatanga apparently becomes one of Wario's henchmen in order to get revenge on Mario for foiling his plans. Tatanga is one of the six bosses in the game before Wario, guarding one of the six Golden Coins. Mario defeats him in the Space Zone, apparently destroying him for good this time. He has not been seen since.
Other Media[]
Super Smash Bros.[]
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Tatanga appears as an advanced-level, shield-type spirit that can be obtained in a spirit battle against Morton equipped with a Super Scope on the Battlefield form of the Mario Galaxy stage.
