Fungicide: The Epic Battle for the Mushroom Kingdom is a book mentioned by one of the Toads 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, 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.
Happy Gardeners Monthly
Happy Gardeners Monthly is a magazine mentioned by a Toad in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. When Mario brings a seed and some fertilizer, the Gardener gets very excited, saying his buddies over at the HQ of this magazine will be thrilled and that he himself might even be in the next issue.

Kirby Story
Kirby Story is a fictional film in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. The movie is not actually mentioned, but rather cameos with promotional artwork (along with three other films). The poster depicts Kirby on a Warp Star (notably riding it as he did in Kirby Air Ride rather than holding onto it as he usually does), against a purple background. Nothing else is known about the film.
Koopa Kleats
The Koopa Kleats is a magazine mentioned very little in the game Super Paper Mario, in the Soopa Striker Catch Card. All that is known about it is that a Soopa Striker appears on the cover of the magazine, though it is possible that this magazine is about Koopas and soccer.

The Koopa Kronicle is a type of newspaper in the Mushroom Kingdom; it is only mentioned by Kylie Koopa during the course of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Kylie Koopa says that she works as the Koopa Kronicle's photographer and reporter; nothing else is revealed about the newspaper.

Larry Koopa: Zombie Heartbreaker is a fictional game mentioned in Super Paper Mario. Little is known about the game, aside from the fact that it stars Larry Koopa, the seventh and youngest Koopaling (not counting Bowser Jr.). It is supposed to be some sort of horror/survivor and dating sim at the same time. The only mention of the game is in Fort Francis (Chapter 3-4), on Francis's list of games and merchandise to buy.
The fact that the game has Larry Koopa as the main character might be a nod to the Leisure Suit Larry series.
Legend of Stafy
Legend of Stafy is a fictional movie advertised in Yoshi Theater in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. It may be based in the Japan-only game series of the same name.

Pink Princess
Pink Princess is an anime mentioned by Francis in the game Super Paper Mario when he attempts to win Princess Peach over using Swoon.exe. He attempts to give her a Pink Princess Signed Poster from his inventory; according to him its origin was from a Pink Princess anime event. Notes about the item are that it is signed by the voice actress for the princess and the director, and that it has a layer over it to keep it from fading. Peach will return the poster if she doesn't like it. She will still return it if she does like it, as Francis suggests to her that he give it some backing board.
Revenge of Madzilla's Mom
Revenge of Madzilla's Mom is a monster movie that was assumedly filmed in Hollywood at some point. The movie was only briefly mentioned in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Dadzilla", while Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool were locked in the props garage. Mario found the head of Madzilla's mother in it, and Luigi recognized it from the aforementioned movie. Not much else is known about the movie, though the "Revenge" part of the title suggests that it is a sequel to another Madzilla's Mom movie.
Super Ultra Goomba Bros.
Super Ultra Goomba Bros. is an old TV show that Mimi likes to watch reruns of. This TV series is mentioned during the game Super Paper Mario, and nothing more than the title is revealed. The show's name may be a reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The Blubbening
The Blubbening is a TV show that Francis watches. It is mentioned in Super Paper Mario. It is known that this show's main character is Tubba Blubba and that this show is an anime. Francis especially likes the episode when Tubba Blubba battled a horde of robots. Not much is known about it, except for Francis' opinion that it got worse as the show progressed.
The Grodus Chronicles
The Grodus Chronicles is a TV show starring Grodus. It is aired in The Bitlands and possibly the Mushroom World and all the other areas around Flipside. It is unknown what the show is about and what the story is. The Grodus Chronicles is based on a novel of the same name by a writer from Flopside. The Grodus Chronicle's name is simply a manipulation of the novels and film entitled The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury.
The Mushroom Moon
The Mushroom Moon is a musical that is advertised in Mario Kart Wii on the Moonview Highway course. Not much is known about it, except it involves Peach, Mario and obviously, The Moon.
The Toad Warrior
The Toad Warrior is a film mentioned in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in Zip Toad's E-mail. Not much is known about this film besides the fact that Zip Toad has a line in the film: Hey, you are cool, but I am even cooler.
This movie seems to be a nod to the Real Life film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, known simply as The Road Warrior in the United States. Predating Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was another Mario-related reference to The Road Warrior: a similarly-named episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! is entitled "Toad Warriors".
Three Coins in the Fountain
Three Coins in the Fountain is a 1954 film that is about American girls visiting the Trevi Fountain. The film was mentioned in a pamphlet about the fountain in the game Mario is Missing!.
Toad Force V
Toad Force V, known to its fans (who happen to mostly be nerdy fanboys) as TFV, is an extremely popular television series (even Bowser likes it) in the Mushroom World. It was mentioned several times in Mario Party Advance. The series is about a robotic Toad named Jack and his partner, the heroine, Britney (who is more popular). Together, they fight against evil villains such as the Spore King and Toxic Toad Z.
In his adventure through Shroom City looking for Gaddgets, Mario had to do several Toad Force V-related quests such as looking for a Toad Force V DVD and trying to remember a certain bit of dialogue. Mario also met Mushbert, as Toad who knew and owned everything Toad Force V-related.
The series also has a line of action figures which a Paratroopa shopkeeper said "are almost always sold out". Lantern Ghost also runs a (presumably unofficial) Toad Force V fan club known as the TFV Fan Club; this club meets seemingly perpetually in the basement of Horror Condo.
Toad Force V may be a reference to Family Force V, a band in the real world.
Wario
Wario is a fictional film advertised for (with a movie poster) at the Yoshi Theatre in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. It presumably involves WarioWare, as the flier depicts nothing but Wario's eyes, nose, and mustache - an icon that often appears in the games.
Wheel of Fortune
Wheel of Fortune is a real life word puzzle TV game show. In Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit is it implied that Mario likes to watch it. In the future, Dr. Wily took control over it and renamed it Wheel of Misfortune.
Wheel of Fortune (or a spoof thereof) also appeared during King Koopa's flashback in the Super Mario World episode "Rock TV".
Worms of Outer Space
Worms of Outer Space is a comic book series. Little is known about it, except that Prince Hugo the Huge's Parrot claims to own a collection of issues, implying that he is a big fan of the series. This is somewhat ironic due to the fact that many birds are natural preditors of worms.
