Ah yes, the kangaroo. Perhaps one of the silliest-looking animals around: It hops around on two huge feet, it has a thick tail and, of course, it has a pouch. Because of their almost cartoonish nature, kangaroos are certainly ubiquitous in fiction. Sort of another animalistic Rule of Cool, if you will. Maybe it's just that exotic feel that Australia gives — after all, this is the country that's also home to the Puzzling Platypus. If the work is set in Australia, this is commonly a way to say "Hey! We're in Australia, mate!" If it's a male, expect him to be named "Joey", have a comically exaggerated Aussie accent, and possibly have a pouch (even though, in reality, only the females have pouches). It may also be depicted boxing, carrying someone in its pouch, maybe sporting an Australian Army slouch hat with one brim pinned up, or just plain jumping really high. Occasionally, a wallaby may be used instead. Think of them as fun-size kangaroos. Be warned: kangaroos have very sharp claws on their huge feet and will use them on you if you get too close. Although it is rare, they are capable of killing a human being (just like pretty much everything else in Australia). Subtrope to National Animal Stereotypes. Compare Boxing Kangaroo. |

Joey is a recurring kangaroo character on The Penguins of Madagascar. He is of the "thick Aussie accent" and "pouched male" variety, and rather aggressive. | |

A kangaroo can be seen adopting a frog in The Simpsons episode "Bart vs Australia", where Bart is forced to go to Australia to have his butt kicked for prank-calling them. When pursued, Bart and Homer attempt to get away in kangaroos' pouches, only to find that, unlike in cartoons, they're filled with disgusting slime. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Hayato Maeda uses an Australian-themed deck, with his main Animal Motif being koalas, supplemented with kangaroos as the secondary animals of his deck. His Ace Monster, Master of Oz, is a Fusion between Big Koala and Des Kangaroo, and therefore has the characteristics of both animals. Funnily enough, Jim "Crocodile" Cook, the actual Australian, goes for a completely different animal instead, the crocodile; but he doesn't center his deck around that animal either. | |

The opening credits of Whiplash feature multiple shots of mobs of kangaroos, presumably to inform the American and British audiences that the show is set in Australia. They often appear in individual episodes as well. | |

Animal Crossing has two kangaroos named Walt and Mathilda after the famous Australian song "Waltzing Matilda". However, koalas are more associated with Australian stereotypes. | |

Team Fortress 2: The nucleus of the metal element Australium, named after the country in which it was discovered, resembles two kangaroos boxing. Ingots of Australium are also stamped with the image of a man boxing a kangaroo, which is the method by which Australia chooses its king. | |

The New Dinosaurs: An Alternative Evolution takes an absurd twist to this trope: being a work of Speculative Biology exploring an alternate timeline where the dinosaurs never became extinct and continued to evolve, it has spec-Australia be populated by the Gwanna, an Iguanodon descendant that hops like a kangaroo. Along with the Tubb, an arboreal herbivore dinosaur that is nearly exactly just a koala, it is heavily criticized for having koala-saurs and kanga-saurs evolving in, of all places, Australia, as if the very topography of Australia inevitably forces the evolution of kangaroo-like animals because Australia is Just Like That. | |

In Rise of the Guardians, Jack Frost pokes fun at Bunnymund's Australian accent by calling him the Easter Kangaroo. Of course, this is also ironic since rabbits — of which Bunny is a gigantic alien version — are an invasive and highly destructive species in modern Australia. | |

Adventures of the Little Koala features an Anthropomorphic Animal cast and is set in Australia, and although the main protagonist is a koala (another mammal closely identified with Australia), the closest the series has to regular antagonists are three kangaroos, Walter, Horsey, and Colt. | |

Spyro: Year of the Dragon features playable character Sheila the Kangaroo. Her level is called an 'Alp' and looks it, the other inhabitants are all obviously meant to evoke Oktoberfest, and yet Sheila has an inexplicable Aussie accent.note The Alps border Germany and Austria, a country commonly mistaken for Australia. Of course they'd put a kangaroo character there for pun's sake. Her leitmotif also features a didgeridoo. | |

Mobile Fighter G Gundam is a story about an international martial arts tourney where each country's fighter controls a Humongous Mecha with a motion capture interface. Australia's entry is, of course, a Boxing Kangaroo. Another G Gundam spinoff manga shows a different Australian Gundam from an earlier tournament, the Southern Cross Gundam. While it's based on an Aborigine warrior with a giant boomerang with a fanny pack containing a smaller Gundam sticking out of it presumably to mimic a kangaroo pouch for some bizarre reason. |

In Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, a kangaroo (along with a crocodile) is one of the animals Ben has hired for Alexander's Australian-themed birthday party. However, the kangaroo escapes and Ben has to chase it along a suburban street, getting punched in the face by the roo in the process. | |
