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.

Apook™ Corp.
Apook™ Corp. is a corporation that owns a number of swimsuit makers. They put out the advertisement seen in In the Swim! Fun and Sun Fashions. Divisions of Apook™ Corp. include Tortoise Trends Inc., Poltergeist Pier Imports, KK's Double-Cheap Discount Emporium, and Old Bags, Young Bags. In Tanooki Suits Me, Mario accused Koopa of selling products that are products of the Apook Corporation instead of genuine masterpieces.

Banana Slammers
The Banana Slammers are possibly a band on Donkey Kong Island.

In the Donkey Kong Country episode "Barrel, Barrel... Who's Got the Barrel", Bluster invites Candy to a show featuring the Banana Slammers. The only characteristic known about the group, as stated by Bluster, is that they all use Banana Flips.

"Banana Slammers" is a play on Donkey Kong's motto in the show.

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 (and possibly other destinations as well). 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.

Bowser Secret Society
The Bowser Secret Society is an organization mentioned only on two signposts in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. It is unknown of the purpose of the society, though only members of the society are allowed access and have the code to enter the preservation chamber of Bowser's Castle.

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.

Crowhall University
A university for Crows. It is the University Ronnie is aiming for. It is apparently a really good school.

Fawful Fan Club
The Fawful Fan Club is a club mentioned by a Koopa Troopa standing near a sign in Bowser's Castle (converted into Fawful Theater) in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. As the name implies, it appears to be the official fan club for Fawful.

Fawful Foundation
The Fawful Foundation is a business mentioned by the Monty Bros. in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. The Monty Bros. tell Bowser that their secret tunnel project got bought out by the Fawful Foundation to explain why they built a railway into Bowser's Treasure Chamber.

Feather Club for Crows
The Feather Club for Crows is a feather loss organization briefly mentioned by two crows in Twilight Town. The only two things known about it is that it has a website and that Rotbeak is a member.

Federation of Future Rulers
The Federation of Future Rulers is, as the name states, an organization composed entirely of future rulers. The purpose of the organization is unknown.

During the Donkey Kong Country animated show episode "Message in a Bottle Show", the organization sends a massage inside a bottle for an implied ape called Monkey Kong to be the "future ruler of all future rulers" for a five-year term. Donkey Kong is out fishing with Diddy Kong when he pulls the bottle out of the water with his rod. Upon reading the message, Donkey Kong thinks he has been selected, mistakenly reading "Monkey Kong" as "Donkey Kong".

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. FM Shroom is a pun on 103.7 Kiss FM (now 107.5 WBLS), a real life radio station.

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 Admiral 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!". The name is a pun on the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

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).

Goomba Environmental Board
The Goomba Environmental Board is an organization mentioned by Goombario in Paper Mario when he tattles in a certain area of Toad Town Tunnels. Not much is known about it except for the fact that it is implied to be run by Goombas.

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 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 Hairdryer Hotline Corp
Hafta Havit Hairdryer Hotline Corp, or HHHHC, is a mail-order company, presumably headquartered on Earth, mentioned in Mario is Missing!. Little is known about them apart from the fact that they sell hairdryers. Bowser ordered many hairdryers from them in his campaign to melt the Earth's polar ice caps. As a result, their stock went through the roof, and they were rather angry that Luigi put a stop to the Koopa King's scheme.

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 company. 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 passed down from his family.

Kingdom News Network
The Kingdom News Network (KNN) is presumably a news station that broadcasts in the Mushroom Kingdom. The Lakitu Bros. work as eyewitness reporters for this network, as revealed in the Super Mario 64 Nintendo Players' Guide. The game itself also mentions that they work for a news station, though it goes unnamed in game.

Koopa Corps.
If you were looking for a special move in Bowser's Inside Story of the same name, see here.

Koopa Corps is a corporation briefly implied in Paper Mario. It is implied that Koopa Corps. promotes 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 known 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 Microbuffer 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.

Lakitu Travel
Lakitu travel is an implied travel organization that is depicted in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. It is seen in the Star Shrine, when Mario and Luigi gain the fourth Cobalt Star Shard. Kylie Koopa and Toadbert come flying by on a Fishin' Lakitu's pole; the Lakitu then drops them off and says, "Thank you very much for choosing Lakitu travel. Have a nice day!" Then, it flies off.

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 Safety Board regulates the usage of minecarts in the Coal 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 is the Mushroom Referee.

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.

Pappy's Pizza
Pappy's Pizza is a pizza parlor located in Brooklyn. During the events of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Quest for Pizza", Luigi noted that his primitive, Caveman Land pizza was by no means comparible to Pappy's Pizza. Presumably, Mario and Luigi were regular customers of Pappy's Pizza back when they lived in Brooklyn. Information about "Pappy" himself is unknown.

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. However, only nine Pidgits come, though it is still said that it is a pack of twelve. The name may have been a play on the defunct low-cost airline People Express.

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.

Rogueport Restoration Committee
The Rogueport Restoration Committee is a mysterious organization spoken of in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The Committee is responsible for the publication of every issue of the Rogueport Direct Mail Service.

Very little is known about this committee. Based on its name, its goals are obviously to "restore" Rogueport, although it's unknown exactly how. Based on their support of the Rogueport Direct Mail Service, it is possible that they're only attempting to attract tourists and new citizens to Rogueport.

Sigil Securities
Sigil Securities is a global company in Wario: Master of Disguise. Carpaccio, who mention Sigil Securities several times, is the head of it. It is known that Carpaccio used the financial might of this company to develop a morphing technology that helped him become Head Honcho Carpaccio.

Carpaccio says that the slogan of the company is "We're hard at work watching your back... that way it's easier to pick your pocket."

Slime Busters
The Slime Busters is a small organization that was referenced 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.

Snowtown Ice Stars
The Snowtown Ice Stars are a baseball team that Mr. Blizzard is on, acting as the main pitcher. According to him, the team has won at least twenty-one games because of him. It is unknown who the other members of this team are.

Sticky Wiki
The Sticky Wiki is a wiki most likely created by Toads in the game Paper Mario: Sticker Star. It provides often humorous information on the Things displayed at the Sticker Museum (i.e. poking the D-Cell Battery with a stick several times to release the energy inside). Other than that, not much is known about the Sticky Wiki.

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!"

The Management
The Management is a group or person subtly referenced in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. They are referenced in certain thing sticker's descriptions. It is possible that they are the Sticker Museum's worker or managers hence the name, "The Management"

Refrigerator
"Once thought to be a transportation pod for northern Toads, this thing has since proven to be a very effective storage unit for the management's lunch."

Matches
"Under no circumstances should these sticks be rubbed against their own packaging. You just need to trust the management on this one."

D-Cell Battery
"All readings indicate that this cylinder harbors a huge amount of latent power. We have attempted to access it, but a vigorous stick-poking met with failure."

The Nintendo News
The Nintendo News is the name of the company who makes newspapers which Wario reads the begging of Wario Land 4. Only one issue is seen with the discovery of the Golden Pyramid on the front cover. Note that the name "The Nintendo News" is not actually visible during normal gameplay, but it is part of the newspaper sprite.

Toadwood District Rangers
Toadwood District Rangers is an organization mentioned in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on two signs in Toadwood Forest. Little is known about them.

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. 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, or that U Goom has off-campus classes in Rogueport. In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, there's a piece of paper in Shy Guy Jungle that says: "Observations on the Ancient Civilization of the Chomp Ruins" University of Goom. Goombella

WIN-tendo
WIN-tendo is a company that seemingly makes video games, named in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. When playing the arcade game Star 'Stache Smash in Little Fungitown and viewing the controls, "© WIN-tendo" can be seen in the bottom left corner. The name is a portmanteau of "win" and "Nintendo."

Yoshi Fan Club
The Yoshi Fan Club is a club made by Boddle, a big Yoshi fan in the game Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Because the club is only mentioned in the game, it is unknown what the club does but they have their own theater, named the Yoshi Theater, where many Yoshis gather. It is possibly made up of many Yoshis and some Beanish people. A Beanish person in this club helped Mario and Luigi with finding Neon Eggs.
