History

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "7 Continents for 7 Koopas," when Bowser tries to conquer the entire Real World, he puts Kooky von Koopa in charge of Africa. Kooky uses his magic wand to turn all of Africa's animals (including a lion, giraffe, zebra, gorilla, and an African elephant) into stuffed animals. Luigi later steals Kooky's wand and turns the stuffed animals back to normal. The animals then proceed to chase Kooky.

Club Nintendo

Africa, specifically Egypt, is featured in the German Club Nintendo comic "Mario's Picross". In the comic, Mario plans a vacation adventure to Egypt, but his enjoyment in seeing the African desert is quickly squashed as Bowser throws Mario out of the plane. Mario plummets toward the ground, eventually landing on the Sphinx, breaking off its nose. Mario is swiftly arrested and imprisoned in a pyramid by the local Egyptians. Mario then traverses a great maze to try and escape to freedom. After many traps and obstacles, Mario finally crashes his way out of the pyramid and then searches the hot desert for something to drink. Finally, after unsuccessfully finding refreshment, Mario wakes up in his bed to find that it was all a dream. However, the comic leaves it open as to whether it was a dream or a true event, as a chest Mario tried to open in the pyramid is seen in his house.

Mario Party DS

In Mario Party DS, Africa is included on the globe in the minigame Globe Gunners, with the Egyptian pyramids being featured as one of the many landmarks on the globe that the player battles on.
