Editing Starship X-Naut

'''''Starship X-Naut''''' is a huge franchise of what would appear to revolve around a television program mentioned in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is brought up many times in [[Fort Francis]], although it is never mentioned outside of that area.

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 [[List of Implied Objects#Reclinatron 4500|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).

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 [[Grodus|another major ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' foe]] as its namesake, although it is likely that it does not.
