Australia



Australia is a continent (and a country) on Earth, located in the Southern Hemisphere. It consists of the countries of Australia and New Zealand, as well as various smaller islands in the Pacific Ocean. Australia is also the smallest continent.

Australia has made a few appearances in the Marioverse. However, most of these were in the Mario TV series. Firstly, it was mentioned on the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, in the live-action segment, "Alligator Dundee". Alligator Dundee, an Australian man, appeared at the Mario Bros. Plumbing building, where he was hunting the mysterious sewer creature, the Ratigator.

A land similar to Australia, known as Down Under Land, was featured in the episode "Crocodile Mario".

Australia eventually appeared in an episode of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, "7 Continents for 7 Koopas". When Bowser tried to conquer the entire Real World, he ordered Cheatsy Koopa to capture Australia. Cheatsy used his Magic Wand to turn all of the humans into kangaroos, except for a Crocodile Dundee-type hunter, who was transformed into a prawn. Princess Toadstool eventually stole Cheatsy's wand, and restored everyone back to normal.
