==''The Book of Spares''== | |||
'''''The Book of Spares''''' is a book mentioned by the Toad at [[Outlook Point]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. He quotes bowling advice from chapter 12, section 8: "Deep within [[the Bafflewood]], hidden from prying eyes, sleeps [[Bowling Ball (Thing)|a sacred orb of deep, lustrous black]]. But the path to its secret nook is blocked by a magical barrier known as a fence--a device so ingenious, it can only be broken by the throes of [[Wiggler Segment|a child]]."

You're talking about that farm anime, 'Cowpocalypse'! I'm hooked on it too! Different farming factions vying for control of a sword that can destroy the world? They use real swordsmen to advise the action scenes, so they're super realistic! Don't you love it when studios pay attention to important stuff like that?... When the DVD comes out, I'll buy it for you!" | ||

'''''[[Duel of 100]]: The Home Edition''''' is a video game from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', popular in [[Sammer's Kingdom]].

In the Japanese version, no such game was implied, but the tattle instead says that he beat [[King Sammer]] when they were playing a game with a special skill called 『６４れんしゃ』 ''Rokujūyon Rensha'', which translates to "64-time rapid shooting", likely a parody on rapid button mashing in certain games. | |||

==''Starship X-Naut''== | |||
'''''Starship [[X-Naut]]''''' is a huge franchise that seemingly revolves around a television program mentioned in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is brought up many times in [[Fort Francis]], although it is never mentioned elsewhere. Francis's obsession with it is likely a parody of how sci-fi shows such as ''{{wp|Star Trek}}'' are highly popular with "nerdy" people. | |||
As stated above, the main aspect of ''Starship X-Naut'' is thought to be its television show, which is mentioned early in Fort Francis by a [[Meowmaid]] who stated that a baseball game in extra innings had delayed that day's episode of the show (and that she had changed the times set in the [[RecordoMeow]]s to reflect the delay), which is one of [[Francis]]'s many obsessions. In the same room, another Meowmaid mentions ''Starship X-Naut: Space Bloops'', a seemingly [[Blooper]]-oriented video game spin-off of the show known to be a space-combat simulator. Both of the [[SecuriMeow]]s' quizzes (which are given to [[Mario]] and friends to gain access into Francis' private rooms) also mention ''Starship X-Naut'', one of which revealing that it includes a comic series (whose comics Francis believes should never be taken out of their plastic sleeves) and the other mentioning ''Starship X-Naut'' "Series 3 collectible action figures", which Francis himself does not own to the greatest extent (although completing his collection of the figures is one of his many goals). Finally, Francis' unnamed, cat-like door's compatibility quiz to [[Princess Peach]] suggests that Francis is attracted to (or at least can relate to) people who have lost friends due to arguments based on the propulsion system of a spaceship featured on ''Starship X-Naut''. Two optional references to ''Starship X-Naut'' can additionally be triggered by telling [[Mimi]] (disguised as [[Merlee]] during a [[Castle Bleck]] encounter) that Mario fears Francis (which would then result in Francis appearing and stating that, before his strange warp to the dark [[castle]], he was watching ''Starship X-Naut'' in his [[Reclinatron 4500]]) and buying [[Tiptron]] from Francis after beating the game (at which Francis would state that he was willing to sell Tiptron for he was saving up for a rare comic book known only as ''Starship X-Naut Issue One'', which cost at least 999 [[Coin]]s). | |||

The list of implied entertainment is a list of games, television shows, and books that have not physically appeared in any form of media up to this point in time. Regardless of their lack of appearance, the implied entertainment have been mentioned at least once throughout the Super Mario franchise, many of which are from Super Paper Mario.
Baron von Craggington[edit]
Baron von Craggington is a show mentioned by Monzo in Super Paper Mario. He mentions it while comparing the potential ratings of the Flint Cragley, Cragtrotter episode they are currently filming.
The Book of Spares[edit]
The Book of Spares is a book mentioned by the Toad at Outlook Point in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. He quotes bowling advice from chapter 12, section 8: "Deep within the Bafflewood, hidden from prying eyes, sleeps a sacred orb of deep, lustrous black. But the path to its secret nook is blocked by a magical barrier known as a fence--a device so ingenious, it can only be broken by the throes of a child." This serves as a hint to the location of the Bowling Ball Thing and the Wiggler Segment in the area.
Cowpocalypse[edit]
Cowpocalypse is a running anime in the Super Mario universe that Francis may talk about in Super Paper Mario.
At Fort Francis, in the dialogue between Princess Peach and Francis, when he gives Peach a "Pink Princess" signed poster as a token of his affection, Peach has the dialogue option "I appreciate the thought..." When that option is selected, Peach will say, "I don't have time for that! The universe is being destroyed!" Francis will answer "Destroyed...? Oh I get it! You're so funny! You're talking about that farm anime, 'Cowpocalypse'! I'm hooked on it too! Different farming factions vying for control of a sword that can destroy the world? They use real swordsmen to advise the action scenes, so they're super realistic! Don't you love it when studios pay attention to important stuff like that?... When the DVD comes out, I'll buy it for you!"

digibutter.nerr[edit]
digibutter.nerr is a website mentioned by Francis in Super Paper Mario, who visits the site often. It is apparently a forum filled with geeks and nerds of all sorts who seem to love butterflies. Francis declares that he shall take "hi-technicaaaal" pictures of Tippi, whom he calls Francine, and post them all over the forum. After he creates Tiptron, Francis mentions how Tiptron earned him the "Elite Nerr" status on digibutter.nerr's forums.
Its name comes from digital butterflies, which many of the forum members seem to enjoy. Its .nerr top-level domain seems to be derived from Francis's quirk of constantly saying "nerr," an impediment he may share with other members of the website.
Trivia[edit]
- When selling Tiptron to Mario and friends, Francis incorrectly capitalizes the "d" in "digibutter.nerr."
- Shortly after release of the game, a real forum was unofficially created, where mostly discussion of Super Paper Mario is made. They also hold an online, Super Paper Mario related, superbowl tournament known as the Sammerbowl.
Duel of 100: The Home Edition[edit]
Duel of 100: The Home Edition is a video game from Super Paper Mario, popular in Sammer's Kingdom. The game is only mentioned once, during Tippi and Tiptron's tattle information about Phanto Grin, the 63rd Sammer Guy, who likes to play as himself a lot.
In the Japanese version, no such game was implied, but the tattle instead says that he beat King Sammer when they were playing a game with a special skill called 『６４れんしゃ』 Rokujūyon Rensha, which translates to "64-time rapid shooting", likely a parody on rapid button mashing in certain games.
Feared Fungi Fighter[edit]
Feared Fungi Fighter is a book mentioned by a Toad in the library of Peach's Castle in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. According to the Toad, it states that the heroes can jump on enemies to damage them at the start of the battle, with the exception of spiked enemies (which would cause the hero to lose HP).
Fungicide: The Epic Battle for the Mushroom Kingdom[edit]
Fungicide: The Epic Battle for the Mushroom Kingdom is a book mentioned by a Toad in Peach's Castle near the end of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The book was written by Kylie Koopa and recounted the Shroob invasion. Mario, Luigi and their baby selves were apparently curious about how the book ended (most likely wondering if they had beaten the Shroobs), but the Toad scolded them for trying to find out without reading it themselves. The Toad then confessed that the last page had been torn out, so he couldn't tell how the book ended anyway.
Golden Oldies Station[edit]
The Golden Oldies Station is a radio station that can be heard in Koopa Village in Paper Mario. This station plays the Super Mario World ending theme.

These include two quote books (The Quotable Smithy and The Words and Wisdom of Smithy), two biographies (The Man Called Smithy and Learn from a Tyrant's Mistakes!), a magical boy manga (Magical Boy Smithy! ☆), and a self-help book (Smithy's One Simple Secret).
Spit-Bucket Boy[edit]
Spit-Bucket Boy is a movie franchise mentioned in the Rayman in the Phantom Show DLC in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Two movies had already been released which Rabbid Mario states he found hilarious, while filming for the third movie takes place in the Spark Quest Boxing Ring with a Rabbid having to take a hit from a Magnafowl in a boxing ring.
Starship X-Naut[edit]
Starship X-Naut is a huge franchise that seemingly revolves around a television program mentioned in Super Paper Mario. It is brought up many times in Fort Francis, although it is never mentioned elsewhere. Francis's obsession with it is likely a parody of how sci-fi shows such as Star Trek are highly popular with "nerdy" people.
As stated above, the main aspect of Starship X-Naut is thought to be its television show, which is mentioned early in Fort Francis by a Meowmaid who stated that a baseball game in extra innings had delayed that day's episode of the show (and that she had changed the times set in the RecordoMeows to reflect the delay), which is one of Francis's many obsessions. In the same room, another Meowmaid mentions Starship X-Naut: Space Bloops, a seemingly Blooper-oriented video game spin-off of the show known to be a space-combat simulator. Both of the SecuriMeows' quizzes (which are given to Mario and friends to gain access into Francis' private rooms) also mention Starship X-Naut, one of which revealing that it includes a comic series (whose comics Francis believes should never be taken out of their plastic sleeves) and the other mentioning Starship X-Naut "Series 3 collectible action figures", which Francis himself does not own to the greatest extent (although completing his collection of the figures is one of his many goals). Finally, Francis' unnamed, cat-like door's compatibility quiz to Princess Peach suggests that Francis is attracted to (or at least can relate to) people who have lost friends due to arguments based on the propulsion system of a spaceship featured on Starship X-Naut. Two optional references to Starship X-Naut can additionally be triggered by telling Mimi (disguised as Merlee during a Castle Bleck encounter) that Mario fears Francis (which would then result in Francis appearing and stating that, before his strange warp to the dark castle, he was watching Starship X-Naut in his Reclinatron 4500) and buying Tiptron from Francis after beating the game (at which Francis would state that he was willing to sell Tiptron for he was saving up for a rare comic book known only as Starship X-Naut Issue One, which cost at least 999 Coins).
In the Japanese version however, there doesn't seem to be any implied TV shows that was mentioned multiple times in Fort Francis.
Super Ultra Goomba Bros.[edit]
Super Ultra Goomba Bros. is an old TV show that Mimi likes to watch reruns of. This TV series is mentioned in Super Paper Mario. It is a reference to the Super Mario Bros. game and a possible reference to the Goomba Bros. fighting team in the Glitz Pit in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

It also involves a princess and robots. There is also a box set of this show, and the pre-order bonus of the box set is a costume. Francis believes the first season has better writing and voice acting than the later seasons of the show, and everything after the dream sequence is horrible. In the Japanese version, he instead mentions Pink Princess with similar comments.
