The List of Implied Entertainment is a list of games, television shows, and books that have not physically appeared in any form of media up to this point in time. Regardless of their lack of appearance, the implied entertainment have been mentioned at least once throughout the Mario series.

Cowpocalypse

Cowpocalypse is a running anime in the Nintendo world Francis may talk about.

At fort Francis, in the dialogue between 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!"

Cutie-Pie Video Game

In Super Paper Mario, Mimi creates this video game about cute boys to raise funds for her cutie-pie stable.

Cyborg Wart

Cyborg Wart is a comic book in the Mario series. Francis owns some issues of this comic book, though his collection of them seemingly isn't complete as he longs for more. Quite shockingly, the main character is Wart, the final boss of Super Mario Bros. 2 who has not directly appeared in a Mario game in years. Not much is known about this comic book, as it is only given two mentions; however it is revealed that the comic book has at least forty-seven issues released so far, and is currently ongoing in publication.

Duel of 100: The Home Edition

Duel of 100: The Home Edition is a video game from Super Paper Mario, it is popular in Sammer's Kingdom. The game is only mentioned once, during Tippi/Tiptron's tattle information about a Sammer Guy who likes to play as himself a lot. The tile could be a reference to Extreme Makeover, Home Edition, a real-life TV show.

Fungicide: The Epic Battle for the Mushroom Kingdom

Fungicide: The Epic Battle for the Mushroom Kingdom is a book mentioned by one of the Toads in Peach's Castle near the end of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The book was written by Kylie Koopa and recounted the Shroob invasion. Mario, Luigi and their baby selves were apparently curious about how the book ended (most likely wondering if they beaten the Shroobs), but the Toad scolded them for trying to find out without reading it themselves. The Toad then confessed that the last page had been torn out, so he couldn't tell how the book ended anyway.

Golden Oldies Station

The Golden Oldies Station is a radio station that can be heard in Koopa Village. This station plays a Super Mario World's song

Happy Gardeners Monthly

Happy Gardeners Monthly is a magazine mentioned by a Toad in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. When Mario brings a seed and some fertilizer, the Gardener gets very excited, saying his buddies over at the HQ of this magazine will be thrilled and that he himself might even be in the next issue.

Harder Than Bedrawk: The Rawk Hawk Story

Harder Than Bedrawk: The Rawk Hawk Story is apparently a DVD starring the wrestler Rawk Hawk. Not much is know about it, except that Francis wants a copy.

Hot Hits Station

The Hot Hits Station is a radio station that can be heard in Koopa Village.


How Much is That Doggie in the Window?

"How Much is That Doggie in the Window?" is a 1950s novelty song mentioned by Frogfucius in the Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Nintendo Player's Guide.[1] The song is an example of the type of music Frogfucius listened to as a tadpole. "How Much is That Doggie in the Window?" is also, in Frogfucius' opinion, an example of "real music," as opposed to the "nonsense" created by contemporary bands.

Information Station

The Information Station is a radio station that can be heard in Koopa Village. This station will often announce some contests where Mario needs to take certai item to the Radio Contest Toad


Kirby Story

File:Akirbystory.PNG
The poster for Kirby Story

Kirby Story is a fictional film in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. The movie is not actually mentioned, but rather cameos with promotional artwork (along with three other films). The poster depicts Kirby on a Warp Star (notably riding it as he did in Kirby Air Ride rather than holding onto it as he usually does), against a purple background. Nothing else is known about the film.

Koopa Kleats

The Koopa Kleats is a magazine mentioned very little in the game Super Paper Mario, in the Soopa Striker Catch Card. All that is known about it is that a Soopa Striker appears on the cover of the magazine, though it is possible that this magazine is about Koopas and soccer.

Koopa Kronicle

The Koopa Kronicle is a type of newspaper in the Mushroom Kingdom; it is only mentioned by Kylie Koopa during the course of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Kylie Koopa says that she works as the Koopa Kronicle's photographer and reporter; nothing else is revealed about the newspaper.

Koopa Quest

Koopa Quest is a new show in the Mushroom World mentioned in the credits of Mario Party Advance. In Mushbert's epilogue, it said that he now watches Koopa Quest instead of Toad Force V.

M & L

M & L is a fictional movie advertised in Yoshi Theater in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. While no additional information about the film is revealed, there is a lot of speculation that it concerns Mario and Luigi.

On Golden Toad 2

On Golden Toad 2 is a film that was in production during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Zip Toad is the star of the movie. It's name implies a that it is a sequel.

Larry Koopa: Zombie Heartbreaker

Larry Koopa: Zombie Heartbreaker is a fictional game mentioned in Super Paper Mario. Little is known about the game, aside from the fact that it stars Larry Koopa, the seventh and youngest Koopaling (not counting Bowser Jr.). It is supposed to be some sort of horror/survivor and dating sim at the same time. The only mention of the game is in Fort Francis (Chapter 3-4), on Francis's list of games and merchandise to buy.

The fact that the game has Larry Koopa as the main character might be a nod to the Leisure Suit Larry series.

Legend of Stafy

Legend of Stafy is a fictional movie advertised in Yoshi Theater in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. It may be based in the Japan-only game series of the same name.

Paper Mario

Paper Mario is a RPG released in 2001 for the Nintendo 64. It was mentioned by a Toad in Petalburg who said that "Lady Bow is the cutest Boo OF ALL TIMES!".

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a RPG released in 2004 for the Nintendo GameCube, and is the sequel to the game Paper Mario. It was mentioned by a Toad in Petalburg, who said that the ending made the game worthy to play through.

Pink Princess

Pink Princess is an anime mentioned by Francis in the game Super Paper Mario when he attempts to win Princess Peach over using Swoon.exe. He attempts to give her a Pink Princess Signed Poster from his inventory; according to him its origin was from a Pink Princess anime event. Notes about the item are that it is signed by the voice actress for the princess and the director, and that it has a layer over it to keep it from fading. Peach will return the poster if she doesn't like it. She will still return it if she does like it, as Francis suggests to her that he give it some backing board.

Revenge of Madzilla's Mom

Revenge of Madzilla's Mom is a monster movie that was assumedly filmed in Hollywood at some point. The movie was only briefly mentioned in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Dadzilla", while Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool were locked in the props garage. Mario found the head of Madzilla's mother in it, and Luigi recognized it from the aforementioned movie. Not much else is known about the movie, though the "Revenge" part of the title suggests that it is a sequel to another Madzilla's Mom movie.

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 during the game Super Paper Mario, and nothing more than the title is revealed. The show's name may be a reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The Blubbening

The Blubbening is a TV show that Francis watches. It is mentioned in Super Paper Mario. It is known that this show's main character is Tubba Blubba and that this show is an anime. Francis especially likes the episode when Tubba Blubba battled a horde of robots. Not much is known about it, except for Francis' opinion that it got worse as the show progressed.

  • As part of Francis's above-mentioned opinion, he says that Season 1 has better voice acting than the later seasons. This could be a reference to the anime Dragonball Z, as in the original dub, the first two sagas (out of 16) were dubbed by Ocean, and some fans think that Ocean does better voice-acting than FUNimation, the dubbing company that took over in the third saga.

The Grodus Chronicles

The Grodus Chronicles is a TV show starring Grodus. It is aired in The Bitlands and possibly the Mushroom World and all the other areas around Flipside. It is unknown what the show is about and what the story is. The Grodus Chronicles is based on a novel of the same name by a writer from Flopside. The Grodus Chronicle's name is simply a manipulation of the novels and film entitled The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury.

The Mushroom Moon

The Mushroom Moon is advertised in Mario Kart Wii on the Moonview Highway course. Not much is known about it, except it involves Peach, Mario and obviously, The Moon. What it is is also unknown, but it is probably a musical.

The Toad Warrior

The Toad Warrior is a film mentioned in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in Zip Toad's E-mail. Not much is known about this film besides the fact that Zip Toad has a line in the film: Hey, you are cool, but I am even cooler.

This movie seems to be a nod to the Real Life film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, known simply as The Road Warrior in the United States. Predating Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was another Mario-related reference to The Road Warrior: a similarly-named episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! is entitled "Toad Warriors".

Three Coins in the Fountain

Three Coins in the Fountain is a 1954 film that is about American girls visiting the Trevi Fountain. The film was mentioned in a pamphlet about the fountain in the game Mario is Missing!.

Toad Force V

Toad Force V, known to its fans (who happen to mostly be nerdy fanboys) as TFV, is an extremely popular television series (even Bowser likes it) in the Mushroom World. It was mentioned several times in Mario Party Advance. The series is about a robotic Toad named Jack and his partner, the heroine, Britney (who is more popular). Together, they fight against evil villains such as the Spore King and Toxic Toad Z.

In his adventure through Shroom City looking for Gaddgets, Mario had to do several Toad Force V-related quests such as looking for a Toad Force V DVD and trying to remember a certain bit of dialogue. Mario also met Mushbert, as Toad who knew and owned everything Toad Force V-related.

The series also has a line of action figures which a Paratroopa shopkeeper said "are almost always sold out". Lantern Ghost also runs a (presumably unofficial) Toad Force V fan club known as the TFV Fan Club; this club meets seemingly perpetually in the basement of Horror Condo.

Toad Force V may be a reference to Family Force V, a band in the real world.

Wario

Wario is a fictional film advertised for (with a movie poster) at the Yoshi Theatre in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. It presumably involves WarioWare, as the flier depicts nothing but Wario's eyes, nose, and mustache - an icon that often appears in the games.

Wheel of Fortune

Wheel of Fortune is a real life word puzzle TV game show. In Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit is it implied that Mario likes to watch it. In the future, Dr. Wily took control over it and renamed it Wheel of Misfortune.

Another spoof, also given the name of Wheel of Misfortune appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "On Her Majesty's Sewer Service".

While looking through the Yellow Pages for a good fortune teller during the events of "Fortune Teller", one of the sections Mario skimmed through was "Wheel of Fortune".

Wheel of Fortune (or a spoof thereof) also appeared during King Koopa's flashback in the Super Mario World episode "Rock TV".

Vanna White, the co-host of Wheel of Fortune, has been spoofed twice throughout the Mario series. Her first spoof was Vampa White, who hosted the Wheel of Misfortune game in "On Her Majesty's Sewer Service". The second spoof is Vanna T. from Paper Mario. Vanna White herself even guest-starred as Roxanne in "Cyrano de Mario".

Worms of Outer Space

Worms of Outer Space is a comic book series. Little is known about it, except that Prince Hugo the Huge's Parrot claims to own a collection of issues, implying that he is a big fan of the series.
