==''A Mid-Winter Day's Nap''==
'''''A Mid-Winter Day's Nap''''' is a play that [[Flurrie]] performed in. A female Toad in west [[Rogueport]] mentions this play, saying she loved it and has seen it three times. The title of the play is a reference to {{wp|William Shakespeare}}'s play ''{{wp|A Midsummer Night's Dream}}''.


==''Baron von Craggington''==
==Cowpocalypse==
'''''Baron von Craggington''''' is a show mentioned by [[Monzo]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He mentions it while comparing the potential ratings of the ''[[Flint Cragley, Cragtrotter]]'' episode they are currently filming.

==''The Book of Spares''==
At [[Fort Francis]], in the dialogue between [[Princess Peach]] and [[Francis]], when he gives Peach a "[[Pink Princess]]" signed poster as a token of his affection, Peach has the dialogue option "I appreciate the thought..." When that option is selected, Peach will say, "I don't have time for that! The universe is being destroyed!" Francis will answer "Destroyed...? Oh I get it! You're so funny! You're talking about that farm anime, 'Cowpocalypse'! I'm hooked on it too! Different farming factions vying for control of a sword that can destroy the world? They use real swordsmen to advise the action scenes, so they're super realistic! Don't you love it when studios pay attention to important stuff like that?... When the DVD comes out, I'll buy it for you!"
'''''The Book of Spares''''' is a book mentioned by the Toad at [[Outlook Point]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. He quotes bowling advice from chapter 12, section 8: "Deep within [[the Bafflewood]], hidden from prying eyes, sleeps [[Bowling Ball (Thing)|a sacred orb of deep, lustrous black]]. But the path to its secret nook is blocked by a magical barrier known as a fence--a device so ingenious, it can only be broken by the throes of [[Wiggler Segment|a child]]." This serves as a hint to the location of the Bowling Ball Thing and the Wiggler Segment in the area.

At [[Fort Francis]], in the dialogue between [[Princess Peach]] and Francis, when he gives Peach a "[[#Pink Princess|Pink Princess]]" signed poster as a token of his affection, Peach has the dialogue option "I appreciate the thought..."

'''digibutter.nerr''' is a website mentioned by [[Francis]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', who visits the site often.

==Duel of 100: The Home Edition==  
'''''[[Duel of 100]]: The Home Edition''''' is a video game from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', popular in [[Sammer's Kingdom]]. The game is only mentioned once, during [[Tippi]] and [[Tiptron]]'s tattle information about  [[List of Sammer Guys|Phanto Grin]], the 63rd [[Sammer Guy]], who likes to play as himself a lot.


In the Japanese version, no such game was implied, but the tattle instead says that he beat [[King Sammer]] when they were playing a game with a special skill called 『64れんしゃ』 ''Rokujūyon Rensha'', which translates to "64-time rapid shooting", likely a parody on rapid button mashing in certain games.

==''Sammer Guy Monthly''==
As stated above, the main aspect of ''Starship [[X-Naut]]'' is thought to be its television show, which is mentioned early in Fort Francis by a [[MeowMaid]] who stated that a baseball game in extra innings had delayed that day's episode of the show (and that she had changed the times set in the [[RecordoMeow]]s to reflect the delay), which is one of [[Francis]]'s many obsessions. In the same room, another [[MeowMaid]] mentions ''[[Starship X-Naut: Space Bloops]]'', a seemingly [[Blooper]]-oriented videogame spin-off of the show known to be a space-combat simulator. Both of the [[SecuriMeow]]s' quizzes (which are given to [[Mario]] and friends to gain access into [[Francis]]' private rooms) also mention ''Starship [[X-Naut]]'', one of which revealing that it includes a comic series (whose comics [[Francis]] believes should never be taken out of their plastic sleeves) and the other mentioning ''Starship [[X-Naut]]'' "Series 3 collectible action figures", which [[Francis]] himself does not own to the greatest extent (although completing his collection of the figures is one of his many goals). Finally, [[Francis]]' unnamed, cat-like door's compatibility quiz to [[Princess Peach]] suggests that Francis is attracted to (or at least can relate to) people who have lost friends due to arguments based on the propulsion system of a spaceship featured on ''Starship [[X-Naut]]''. Two optional references to ''Starship [[X-Naut]]'' can additionally be triggered by telling [[Mimi]] (disguised as [[Merlee]] during a [[Castle Bleck]] encounter) that [[Mario]] fears [[Francis]] (which would then result in [[Francis]] appearing and stating that, before his strange warp to the dark [[castle]], he was watching ''Starship [[X-Naut]]'' in his [[Reclinatron 4500]]) and buying [[Tiptron]] from [[Francis]] after beating the [[game]] (at which [[Francis]] would state that he was willing to sell [[Tiptron]] for he was saving up for a rare comic book known only as ''Starship [[X-Naut]] Issue One'', which cost at least 999 [[Coin]]s).
'''''Sammer Guy Monthly''''' is a magazine mentioned in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. In [[List of Sammer Guys#Sensei Ruff Puff|Sensei Ruff Puff]]'s [[Tattle]], it is said that he was once a cover model for ''Sammer Guy Monthly''.


==''Sing Along With Uncle Swampy Show''==
As these are the only mentions of ''Starship [[X-Naut]]'', much about the show is left to assumption. Based on its name, it is thought that ''Starship [[X-Naut]]'' stars (or prominently features) the [[Secret Society of the X-Nauts]], the antagonists of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. (It is also undoubted that the show's name is a reference to ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' on [[Nintendo]]'s part.) It is unknown if ''Starship [[X-Naut]]'' has any affiliation with ''[[The Grodus Chronicles]]'', another unseen ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' show that is named similarly in that it holds [[Sir Grodus|another major ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' foe]] as its namesake, although it is likely that it does not.

'''''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 ''[[Wikipedia: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''. It's also an obvious reference to the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game, or possibly ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show]]''. It also could be referencing the [[Goomba Bros.]] fighting team in the [[Glitz Pit]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.


==''Spit-Bucket Boy''==
==The Blubbening==
'''''Spit-Bucket Boy''''' is a movie franchise mentioned in the [[Rayman in the Phantom Show]] DLC in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''.

'''''Starship [[X-Naut]]''''' is a huge franchise that seemingly revolves around a television program mentioned in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is brought up many times in [[Fort Francis]], although it is never mentioned elsewhere. Francis's obsession with it is likely a parody of how sci-fi shows such as ''{{wp|Star Trek}}'' are highly popular with "nerdy" people.
'''''The Flictionarian''''' is a book written by the late [[Queen Croacus II]], the second ruler of the [[Flora Kingdom]]. The book is a compilation of the [[Floro Sapien]] prehistory.

'''''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]].
