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]]."

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!"

After he creates [[Tiptron]], Francis mentions how Tiptron earned him the "Elite Nerr" status on digibutter.nerr's forums.


== Koopa Quest ==
Its name comes from '''digi'''tal '''butter'''flies, which many of the forum members seem to enjoy. Its .nerr top-level domain seems to be derived from Francis's quirk of constantly saying "nerr," an impediment he may share with other members of the website.

==''Spit-Bucket Boy''==

Two movies had already been released which [[Rabbid Mario]] states he found hilarious, while filming for the third movie takes place in the Spark Quest [[Boxing Ring]] with a [[Rabbid]] having to take a hit from a [[Magnafowl]] in a boxing ring.
 
==''Starship X-Naut''==
'''''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.
 
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 video game 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).
 
In the Japanese version however, there doesn't seem to be any implied TV show that was mentioned multiple times in Fort Francis.
 
==''Scrambled Eggs and Hamlet''==
'''''Scrambled Eggs and Hamlet''''' is a play that Flurrie performed in. A female Toad in west Rogueport mentions this play, saying that she loved it and that she has seen it ten times. The title of the play is a reference to Shakespeare's play ''{{wp|Hamlet}}'' and to {{wp|Dr. Seuss}}' book ''{{wp|Green Eggs and Ham}}''.
 
==''Super Ultra Goomba Bros.''==
'''''Super Ultra [[Goomba]] Bros.''''' is an old TV show that [[Mimi]] likes to watch reruns of. This TV series is mentioned in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is a reference to the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game and a possible reference to [[The Goomba Bros.]] fighting team in the [[Glitz Pit]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
 
==''The Blubbening''==
'''''The Blubbening''''' is a TV show that [[Francis]] watches in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', and it is his favorite show. The main character is [[Tubba Blubba]], and this show ran for at least three seasons. It also involves a princess and robots.

Luigi also mentions that he saw the latest issue available at the comic shop near World 5-1 the other day, and the Princess orders him to pick it up for her.

Later, at the comic shop, Luigi discovers that they are out of Baroness Blue Blood issues because Bowser bought them all to line his Birdo cages.

The Book of Spares[edit]

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 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 a child." This serves as a hint to the location of the Bowling Ball Thing and the Wiggler Segment in the area.

The Boy Who Cried Woo[edit]

The Boy Who Cried Woo is a play that Flurrie performed in. A female Toad in west Rogueport mentions this play, saying she loved it and has seen it a hundred times. The title of the play is a reference to the fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

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!"

Starship X-Naut[edit]

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 Star Trek are highly popular with "nerdy" people.

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 RecordoMeows 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 video game spin-off of the show known to be a space-combat simulator. Both of the SecuriMeows' 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 Coins).

In the Japanese version however, there doesn't seem to be any implied TV show that was mentioned multiple times in Fort Francis.

Scrambled Eggs and Hamlet[edit]

Scrambled Eggs and Hamlet is a play that Flurrie performed in. A female Toad in west Rogueport mentions this play, saying that she loved it and that she has seen it ten times. The title of the play is a reference to Shakespeare's play Hamlet and to Dr. Seuss' book Green Eggs and Ham.
