:::::Like I implied, it's a stretch, but Jack and the Giant Beanstalk was about a boy who ventured into a giant's castle and stumbled on something valuable that would be of immense help to him. In that case it was the goose that laid golden eggs. In Paper Mario, it was Yakkey, who unlocked the door to the Windy Mill to allow Mario to fight Tubba Blubba's Heart, which eventually led to the freedom of several Gulch and Mansion Boos. The freedom of Boos parallels the riches Jack amassed when he cashed in the golden eggs (or perhaps Mario when he got the Star Spirit). Another parallel is between the giant and Tubba Blubba; both were bumbling and slept a lot, and both ominously talked about how they "smell" what they enjoyed eating. They also chased the protagonist (which makes Mario kind of parallel Jack). Again, stretch, but a connection can be made. The only problem is it's not backed by any official statements. I'll admit the Sgt. Frog reference holds more water, especially considering the likelihood that Japanese game developers watch Japanese animation, but you just admitted that their connection is loose, which is why I'm asking for more info. I guess since it's Trivia it's fine, but the Mario Wiki generally doesn't allow speculation (at least not in my experience) unless it's as clear cut as Mario Party Minigame names ([[Oil Crisis]], [[Mario Speedwagons]], and [[Track & Yield]] to name a few).

::::::Imma throw out that only ''really'' obvious references should be mentioned in trivia sections; there are only so many stories to tell, and coincidences are bound to happen. And saying that it's likely that it's a reference because they're both Japanese is dumb, least of all because there are many, many, ''many'' Japanese works out there. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 02:31, 17 October 2017 (EDT)
