List of implied organizations

The List of Implied Organizations is a list of organizations that have not physically appeared up in any form of media to this point in time. Regardless of their lack of appearance, implied organizations have been mentioned at least once throughout the Mario series.

Beanbean Air
Beanbean Air is an unseen line of aircraft in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. The planes fly from the Beanbean Kingdom's airport to a Mushroom Kingdom Airport. It is unknown if the airline flies anywhere else other than the Mushroom Kingdom, but it is possible. A Beanish lady says that Chuckola Cola is prohibited onboard Beanbean Air.

Boyz II Pumpkins
Boyz II Pumpkins is a contemporary band mentioned by Frogfucius in the Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Nintendo Player's Guide. Frogfucius cites the band as an example of the poor music being produced in the contemporary era, compared to the music he grew up with as a child. He states: "When I was a wee tadpole, we had real music. None of this Boyz II Pumpkins nonsense." The name Boyz II Pumpkins is a combination of two real world recording groups, both popular in the 1990s: Boyz II Men, an R&B group, and The Smashing Pumpkins, an alternative rock group. Indeed, Frogfucius, as a stereotypical "elderly person," may simply be confusing each group as the same band, producing the name "Boyz II Pumpkins."

Brooklyn Dodgers
The Brooklyn Dodgers is a fictional Brooklyn baseball team coached by Tommy Lasagna. It was mentioned during The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segment "Two Bums from Brooklyn". The team is named for after the non-fictional team of the same name. Decades before The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! began airing, the real Brooklyn Dodgers relocated to Los Angeles, where they became the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Mario and Luigi hoped Mr. Lasagna would recruit them for the team. Unimpressed with both their skills and their cooking, Mr. Lasagna decided to bring their meatballs back for his team to practice with in lieu of actual baseballs, and offered them jobs tossing peanuts at ballgames.

Brooklyn Plumbing School
The Brooklyn Plumbing School is a school at which at which Mario and Luigi were members of the band for three years. The band is called the Brooklyn Plumbing School Band. The only mention of these organizations was by Mario and Luigi during The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! animated episode "The Pied Koopa". During the episode, Toad asks the brothers if they can play the instruments they had created out of Bowser's Castle's plumbing. Luigi responded that they had been in the band. Mario commented that they were thrown out for eating during a concert. Luigi maintains that he was not, but had simply held Mario's salami sandwich while his brother turned the page. Because of this, it can be inferred know they sat in close proximity. Mario had made a trumpet while Luigi created a trombone, two instruments that are classically situated nearby one another.

Chippie Chipmunks
The Chippie Chipmunks are a group of people who are dedicated to performing good deeds towards others. It was mentioned during The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segment "Chippie Chipmunks".

The leader of the Chippie Chipmunks may or may not be Mr. Gibbel, although at the very least, he is a high-ranking member. It is unknown how many members there are, as Mario and Mr. Gibbel are the only confirmed ones. The size of the group is also unknown, as it may be either a local, Brooklyn group, or something on a larger scale. Members such as Mr. Gibbel wear a brown costume with a chipmunk emblem on the front with a matching chipmunk hat, and greet other Chipmunks in a chipmunk-like manner.

The Chippie Chipmunks have a contest every month to see which member is worthy of becoming Chipmunk of the Month through performing enough good deeds. The winner is evaluated on a points system, and will receive a Secret Chippie Decoder Ring at a special awards ceremony roughly one week after winning.

FM Shroom
FM Shroom is a Mushroom Kingdom radio station. Its DJ is DJ Toad, as mentioned in his message on the back of the Toad Town message board in Paper Mario.

Foppish Gourmet Weekly
Foppish Gourmet Weekly is (presumably) a food magazine mentioned in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Extremely little is known about it, other than that Flavio is its editor.

Foppish Gourmet Weekly' is brought up during Chapter 5: The Key to Pirates. It is first mentioned during Mario's quest to receive Scarlette's bottle of Chuckola Cola for Bobbery. Flavio ends up having the bottle, and cops-out of giving it to Mario by dubbing it one of their few supplies and demanding a replacement for it. It is then that he claims to be the editor of the magazine, and refers to himself as a food expert.

As stated above, little is known about the magazine. The food that Flavio ends up settling for is a Coconut, which he describes as slightly clichéd but fitting (which could be an attitude similar to that of the magazine, if it even is a magazine).

Foppish means "refined in manner."

Fungus Bureau of Investigation
The Fungus Bureau of Investigation (occasionally shortened to F.B.I.) is an organization mentioned briefly in the Nintendo Comics System issue "Duh Stoopid Bomb!".

Though it is unknown what the Fungus Bureau of Investigation does, it may be a spying and espionage organization, as Toad, who is apparently an F.B.I. member, is shown to be acting as a spy for the F.B.I. in "Duh Stoopid Bomb!"

Goldbobbington's
Goldbobbington's is a large corporation that Goldbob the Bob-omb owns. It was mentioned during Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Not much is known about this corporation, only that it is a wealthy organization. If Mario speaks to Goldbob's wife Sylvia at some point during Chapter 3, she erroneously refers to the corporation as "Golbobbington's" (spelt without the D).

Grand Order of Plumbers
The Grand Order of Plumbers is an organization apparently dedicated to plumbing from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!.

The only mentioning of of the Grand Order of Plumbers was in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segment "Plumbers of the Year", in which the Grand Order of Plumbers sent the Imperial Poobah to grant Mario and Luigi the status of Plumbers of the Year.

Hafta Havit Mail-Order
Hafta Havit Mail-Order is a mail-order company, presumably headquartered on Earth, mentioned only in the instruction manual of Mario is Missing!. Little is known about them apart from the fact that they sell hair dryers.

Their name is a pun on "have to have it."

Happy Gardener's Monthly
Happy Gardener's Monthly is a society of garderners who presumably collaborate over editing a magazine eponymously entitled "Happy Gardener Monthly". Little else is known about Happy Gardener's Monthly, except that the Gardener of Rose Town, upon successfully growing a beanstalk will exclaim that he'll be able to impress his buddies at Happy Gardener's Monthly, and is a shoe-in to appear in their next issue.

Hospital
The hospital is an organization that treats Glitz Pit fighters in Glitzville. Details are slim, but paramedics rush out to assist fighters who are seriously hurt in the ring. One of the Goomba Bros., mocking Mario, tells Grubba that he should call an ambulance for Mario before their fight even began.

International Evil Concerns Inc.
International Evil Concerns Inc. is Count Cannoli's comopany. It is apparently the company that built the Mad Hat Mk. III. Not much is known about it, and it is even only talked about in the enemy glossary, when viewing the Mad Hat Mk. III, as the other two models, the Mad Hat Mk. I, and the Mad Hat Mk. II were built different ways. The Mad Hat Mk. I was custom built, and the Mad Hat Mk. II was past down from his family.

Koopa Corps.
Koopa Corps is a corporation briefly implied in Paper Mario. It is implied that Koopa Corps. promotionates the 64th Trivia Quiz-off, as told by Mr. Hammer.

Koopa Kickers
Koopa Kickers is a Koopa soccer team implied in Super Paper Mario. It is mentioned in Soopa Striker's Catch Card description. Almost nothing is know about it except that the Soopa Strikers is their leader.

The magazine called Koopa Kleats supposedly talks about the Koopa Kickers, as the Soopa Striker appears in the cover of the magazine.

K. Rool Enterprises
K. Rool Enterprises is an organization briefly mentioned in Donkey Kong 64, Before the boxing match between the Kong Clan and King Krusha K. Rool, the Talking Microphone mention that said boxing match is presented by Rareware and Nintendo in association with K. Rool Enterprises. Not much is know about the organization, although the name might hint that it is owned by King K. Rool.

Luigi Fan Club
The Luigi Fan Club is, as the name suggests, a fan club for Mario's brother, Luigi mentioned in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. There are only two known members of this fan club, Toadia (from Poshley Heights), the secretary, and an unnamed Toad from Petalburg, the leader. These two characters provide the only mentions of the club. Several other characters in the game also state their favoritism of Luigi, especially in Petalburg.

The secretary ironically mistook Mario for Luigi because Mario was wearing a green hat and shirt. When she met the real Luigi, she called him a fake.

Missing Bird Bureau
The Missing Bird Bureau is an organization briefly mentioned in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "The Bird! The Bird!".

Judging from its name, it can be surmised that the Missing Bird Bureau is employed by individuals to search for missing birds, as evidenced by a Birdo using it to find her missing child, Cheepy.

Moleville Safety Board
The Moleville Saftey Board regulates the usage of minecarts in the Moleville Mines. They don't seem to have much of a presence though.

Mushroom Wrestling Federation
The Mushroom Wrestling Federation is an organization that hosts wrestling matches in the Mushroom Kingdom.

The Mushroom Wrestling Federation was only ever mentioned in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Tag Team Trouble". In the episode, they were hosting a Tag Team Wrestling Tournament, which had a one-million Gold Coin grand prize.

The only known employee of the federation (although others must exist) is the Mushroom Referee.

A similar fighting organization appears in the town of Glitzville in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Neighborhood gang
The actual name of this group is unknown, but during the first encounter with Jr. Troopa in Paper Mario, Goompa will state that he's the boss of a "neighborhood gang." It is unknown who else was part of this group, as none of its members other than Jr. Troopa were ever seen in the game. Jr. Troopa claims a forest clearing behind Goomba Village as his territory.

Public Broadcasting Service
The Public Broadcasting Service, or PBS, is a Real World television station. Unlike the real PBS, the station is only known to play nature related television shows. In the Super Mario World episode, "Rock TV," Mario and Luigi prepared to watch their Koopasonic Rock TV for the first time. Princess Toadstool declared that she and Yoshi would not watch it, but would go on a nature walk instead. Mario considered the possibility that the pair might appear on PBS.

Pidgit Express
The Pidgit Express is an organization briefly mentioned in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Mario's Magic Carpet".

Little is known of the Pidgit Express, though its possible it is a mercenary group, as King Koopa, through a phone call, hires a dozen Pidgits to attack Mario, Luigi, Toad and the genie's flying carpet through it. Strangely, only 9 come, though it is still said it is a pack of twelve.

Slime Busters
The Slime Busters is a small organization that was referrenced in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segment "Slime Busters".

Not much is known about the Slime Busters, except that they specialize in exterminating Slime Ghosts, and possibly other monsters. They are eerily similar to the Ghostbusters, as they use similar-looking equipment, and drive a van reminiscent of the Ghostbusters' own Ecto-1.

Ernie Hudson is the only known member of the Slime Busters, but there's a good chance that Harold Ramis, Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd are members too, as they were Ernie's co-stars in both Ghostbusters films.

The Germ Prevention Society
The Germ Prevention Society is mentioned on in Super Paper Mario. They leave graffiti in the bathroom in Merlee's Mansion saying: "Flush thrice after use!"

University of Goom
The University of Goom (also known as U Goom) is a university mentioned in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Goombella attended this college at some unknown time prior to her adventures with Mario in and around Rogueport. Interestingly, her teacher was Professor Frankly, who was doing research in Rogueport during the events of the game. The exact location of U Goom is unknown.

Kolorado, the Koopa archaeologist from Paper Mario, was also one of Professor Frankly's students. As such, it is likely (although not confirmed) that Kolorado attended U Goom. This would also imply that the university was not strictly a school for Goombas.

Goombella's statements towards the beginning of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door imply that she had only recently arrived in Rogueport, seemingly confirming that U Goom is not located in the rogue-filled city. However, Goombella actually describes herself as "a student in Rogueport" on the official Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door website, suggesting that she had not yet graduated and that the University of Goom is located in Rogueport.

WIN-tendo
WIN-tendo is a company found in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. It is only mentioned in the controls of the arcade game in Little Fungitown called Star 'Stache Smash. Its name is based on the phrase "win" and Nintendo. WIN-tendo is never mentioned again.

It is unknown what WIN-tendo does; however, because of its name in the arcade, it probably makes arcade games (like Nintendo).
