Rookies
So far, Popple has had two rookies, Bowser and Birdo.
 * After Bowser crash landed, an effect of being ejected from a cannon, he suffered memory loss and was hired by Popple.
 * Birdo became a "rookie" because Bowser regained his memory, and he had no one else to choose from. Birdo fell in love with Popple and protected him in battle.
