==Boyz II Pumpkins==
'''Boyz II Pumpkins''' is a contemporary band mentioned by [[Frogfucius]] in the ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' Nintendo Player's Guide.<ref>''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 71.</ref> Frogfucius cites the band as an example of the poor music being produced in the contemporary era, compared to [[How Much is That Doggie in the Window?|the music he grew up with as a child]]. He states: "When I was a wee tadpole, we had real music. None of this Boyz II Pumpkins nonsense." The name Boyz II Pumpkins is a combination of two real world recording groups, both popular in the 1990s: [[:wikipedia:Boyz II Men|Boyz II Men]], an R&B group, and [[:wikipedia:The Smashing Pumpkins|The Smashing Pumpkins]], an alternative rock group.  Indeed, Frogfucius, as a stereotypical "elderly person," may simply be confusing each group as the same band, producing the name "Boyz II Pumpkins."

[[Kolorado]], the [[Koopa]] archaeologist from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', was also one of Professor Frankly's students. As such, it is likely (although not confirmed) that [[Kolorado]] attended U Goom. This would also imply that the university was not strictly a school for [[Goomba]]s.
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', a piece of paper found in [[Shy Guy Jungle]] is titled "Observations on the Ancient Civilization of the [[Chomp Ruins]]", and appears to have been written by Goombella while she attended the University of Goom.


[[Goombella]]'s statements towards the beginning of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' imply that she had only recently arrived in [[Rogueport]], seemingly confirming that U Goom is not located in the rogue-filled city. However, [[Goombella]] actually describes herself as "a student in Rogueport" on [http://www.papermario.com/launch/index.html the official ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' website], suggesting that she had not yet graduated and that the University of Goom is located in [[Rogueport]], or that U Goom has off-campus classes in [[Rogueport]].
