Africa

 is a continent located on Earth, first appearing in Mario-related media in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.

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.
