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..." 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!" | 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..."

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.
