Saturday Supercade[edit]
In the Saturday Supercade episode "Hairy Parent", Donkey Kong visits the wilderness of an unspecified location in Africa to deliver a letter to a resident ape known as Momma.
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
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. Luigi later steals Kooky's wand and turns the stuffed animals back to normal. The animals then proceed to chase Kooky.
