'''Kangaroos''' are mammals and marsupials found in [[Australia]], the [[Earth|Real World]], and in [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]].
The '''kangaroo''' is a vehicle<ref>''Yoshi's Island DS'' instruction booklet, page 21.</ref> used by the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Yoshis can ride the kangaroo in a manner similar to [[Muddy Buddy]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. However, the kangaroo differs greatly from Muddy Buddy in that she gives the Yoshis the ability to bounce up and down at an extreme height, including above the screen. While the kangaroo is bouncing, if the player holds {{button|ds|B}} or {{button|ds|A}} depending on their chosen controls, the kangaroo can also briefly float in midair, in a manner akin to Yoshi's [[Flutter Jump]]. Unlike [[Lakitu's Cloud]], a Yoshi can ride the kangaroo for an unlimited amount of time, or until the end of the area she is in. When a Yoshi begins riding the kangaroo, a short jingle plays, and the baby riding the Yoshi's back seems to simply disappear; however, they reappear when the Yoshi stops riding the kangaroo.

The first appearance of any kangaroos was in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]". In said episode, [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]] was assigned by [[Bowser]] to take over Australia. To do so, Cheatsy used his [[Magic Wand|magic wand]] to turn all the [[human|human being]]s there into kangaroos. However, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] later stole Cheatsy's wand and undid his wrongdoing.


The kangaroo is always found in [[coin]]-filled areas sectioned away by [[Warp Pipe]]s. One of these areas can be found in [[Mario's Fleet Feet]], and another is found in [[Windblown Wilderness]].  
Kangaroos were later mentioned in the game ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', when [[Luigi]] traveled to [[Sydney]]. He met a tourist there who said that he was "most interested in the Aborigines," but now wants "to see kangaroos too." The same tourist also said that, "along with 'roos and wombats," koalas are "Australian mascots."

A Kangaroo is an ally of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Yoshis can ride the Kangaroo in a manner similar to [[Lakitu's Cloud]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''; however, the Kangaroo differs greatly from the Clouds in that it gives them the ability to bounce up and down at an extreme height. Yoshi can also ride the Kangaroo for an unlimited amount of time (or until the end of the area its in), unlike Lakitu's Cloud. Kangaroos are never found in the normal mass of levels; however, they are always found in [[Coin]]-filled areas sectioned away by [[Warp Pipe]]s. Whenever Yoshi rides the Kangaroo, the baby riding his back seems to simply disappear, yet reappears when Yoshi stops riding the Kangaroo.
