*Rat Funk's Japanese | *Rat Funk's Japanese Thought Peek quote parodies a line from the theme song to the 1971 anime adaptation of ''{{wp|Obake no Q-Tarō|Shin Obake no Q-tarō}}''.<ref>Clyde Mandelin (June 29, 2020). [https://legendsoflocalization.com/the-pop-culture-obsessed-monsters-in-japanese-super-mario-rpg/ The Pop Culture-Obsessed Monsters in Japanese Super Mario RPG]. ''Legends of Localization''. Retrieved July 31, 2021.</ref> This reference is removed in the English translations of the SNES and Nintendo Switch versions; however, the latter's script alludes to the quote's origins by encouraging the reader to "sing along with the rat funk." | ||
