At [[Fort Francis]], in the dialogue between [[Princess Peach]] and Francis, when he gives Peach a "[[#Pink Princess|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?

When the DVD comes out, I'll buy it for you!"

In the Japanese version, no such game was implied, but the tattle instead says that he beat [[King Sammer]] when they were playing a game with a special skill called 『64れんしゃ』 ''Rokujūyon Rensha'', which translates to "64-time rapid shooting", likely a parody on rapid button mashing in certain games.

==''Starship X-Naut''==
==''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.
'''''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 shows that was mentioned multiple times in Fort Francis.
