(These are two of the more direct and notable appearances here so I don't think these need to be split off into "other" just because they're not games. Also, try to keep anything to do with Egypt on the page Egypt.)

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.
