A Whale briefly appeared towards the end of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Mario of the Deep". Here, the Whale was rode on by King Neptune, who was using it to body slam his temple, which Barra-Koopa had taken over, along with the rest of Aqua Land. After slamming into the wall several times, the Whale caused a piece of it to shatter away, which Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad were able to pass through. This Whale appeared to be a Blue Whale rather than the variety of Whale from Super Mario Bros. 2.
