'''{{wp|Australia}}''' is a country located on [[Earth]]; it can also refer to the continent that the country of Australia is a part of, but other names commonly used to refer to the continent are '''Australasia''' and '''Oceania'''. This real world setting has received references in ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' media. 

Australia appears in an episode of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]". When [[Bowser|King Koopa]] tries to conquer the entire Real World, he orders [[Larry|Cheatsy Koopa]] to capture Australia. Cheatsy uses his [[magic wand]] to turn all of the humans into kangaroos, except for a Crocodile Dundee-type hunter, who is transformed into a prawn. [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] eventually steals Cheatsy's wand, and restores everyone back to normal.

Australia is the second course in the Japanese version of ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]''. It follows Japan and precedes France.

During the events of the game ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing!]]'', [[Luigi]] traveled to [[Sydney]], the most populous city of Australia. Also, the city of Perth was seen on the game's world map, the [[Globulator]].

A land similar to Australia, known as [[Down Under Land]], is featured in the ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!|Super Mario Bros. Show!]]'' episode "[[Crocodile Mario]]".

One of [[Mario]]'s quotes from the [[Nintendo|Nintendo Australia]] ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' sound board is "I love Australia!", mentioning this country.

The [[Sydney Tour (April–May 2021)|April–May 2021 Sydney Tour]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' introduced a new course based on Sydney, [[Sydney Sprint]]. The course [[Tour Sydney Sprint|reappears]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as the first course of the [[Propeller Cup]].
