Africa

 is a continent located on Earth. This real-world setting appears in an episode of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 titled "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.

In Mario is Missing!, Luigi visits several cities in Africa on his quest to rescue Mario. The cities included vary depending on the version of the game.
