Trivia

  • In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door's end credits parade, General White's silhouette can be seen with the Fahr Outpost characters.
    • In the remake, a sleeping General White is passed down a group of Bob-ombs following the Fahr Outpost mayor; they eventually throw him on the stage, a callback to his heavy sleeping.
