The John F. Kennedy Space Center (usually just referred to as the Kennedy Space Center), named in honor of president John F. Kennedy, is a launch facility for spacecraft, located on the east coast of Florida.
In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Life's Ruff", Hip and Hop Koopa run amok in Miami, having already turned Luigi and King Windbag into dogs after stealing Windbag's magic wand. After Luigi and Windbag are captured by Herman and taken away to Florida State Poochitentiary, the twins, having stolen a sports car, hear a report on the radio about a space shuttle that is going to launch from the Kennedy Space Center next morning. Wanting to cause even more trouble, the twins decide to drive to the space center.
While attempting to escape from the pound, Luigi notices a news report in Herman's office about Hip and Hop running amok in the stolen vehicle and heading towards the space center. Upon escaping the pound, freeing the other dogs in the process, Luigi and King Windbag use Herman's truck to drive to the space center. Upon reaching the center, they are unable to leap over the tall fence. However, King Windbag figures that they should dig under it, seeing as they are dogs.
Meanwhile, Hip and Hop use King Windbag's wand to put two human astronauts to slee to steal their space suits, and eventually board the space shuttle. At the same time, Herman show up to recapture Luigi and Windbag, but they manage to trick him into tying himself up with his own rope by running circles around him quickly.
With Herman out of the way, King Windbag succeeds in tackling Hip and Hop, and stops them from boarding the space shuttle. Luigi retrieves King Windbag's stolen wand, and he uses it to send the Koopalings back home, as well as put Herman to sleep so he would not watch them transform back to their normal selves. After sending the two Koopas back home, King Windbag then turns Herman into a poodle for a few seconds, so that he could better understand how dogs feel. After turning Herman back to normal after those few seconds, King Windbag and Luigi create another Warp Zone and return to Ice Land.
