Gerbilympics
The Gerbilympics is an event implied in Super Paper Mario.
Mario and Princess Peach can only trigger the game's one reference to the Gerbilympics by unlocking the VIP Generator Room while paying off their damages in Merlee's Mansion. In the VIP Room, Ackpows commonly insult their slaves by calling them gerbils, as work in the VIP Room involves running on wheels; this is compared to the normal, jump-oriented room where workers are called fleas. If the player manages to generate enough electricity to earn five thousand or more Rubees in one work session in the room, the impressed Ackpow will pay them off and suggest that they, due to their incredible running skills, join the Gerbilympics.
Jazzafrazz Town Drama Slam
The Jazzafrazz Town Drama Slam is an annual event mentioned in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door that is held in the Dayzee town of Jazzafrazz. In the Drama Slam the person who writes the best musical wins the Dramalama Plaque. Luigi had to win the Drama Slam in order to get a piece of the Marvelous Compass which is embedded in the plaque.
Koopa Def Jam
The Koopa Def Jam is a concert event mentioned in the Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Nintendo Player's Guide.[3] The guide indicates that Bowser would like to take Princess Toadstool on a date to the Koopa Def Jam. The Player's Guide states: "With the invasion of Smithy [...] Bowser faces a far greater challenge than getting a date for the Koopa Def Jam!"
Kremean War
The Kremean War is a war that happened on an unspecified date; it is briefly mentioned by Bazooka, who is a veteran of the conflict, in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Mushroom Ball
The Mushroom Ball is a formal dance referred to by Princess Peach in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
After Mario defeated Lord Crump inside Magnus von Grapple and received the Emerald Star (Chapter 2), Peach worries that she'll never be able to dance in the Mushroom Ball ever again. TEC, assigned to watch Peach by Sir Grodus to avoid her escaping, hears her and calls her into his room. He then dances with her by projecting an image of Peach herself to dance with. After this, TEC says that he had "fun" dancing with Peach, and lets her use the communicator to send a second email to Mario.
Princess Peach's Cooking Contest
Princess Peach's Cooking Contest is a cooking contest hosted by Princess Peach. In Paper Mario, Toad Town News posts a piece of news commenting on the postpone of the contest as a result of Peach's Castle being lifted into the sky by Bowser. According to their news, the contest is hosted once a year.
Sammer Awards
The Sammer Awards are award elections held each year in Sammer's Kingdom in Super Paper Mario. It is mentioned when the player finishes the game, goes back to Sammer's Kingdom and finishes the Duel of 100. When using Tattle on End Boss, the final Sammer Guy, Tiptron will say that he won a Sammy at last year's Sammer Awards for Best Final Boss Performance. This appears to reference the Grammy Awards.
Secret Sale
The Secret Sale is a sale that offers "beautiful photos of Princess Peach." Its advertisement is posted on the Toad Town Notice Board in Paper Mario. To inquire about this offer, one should send a letter to "Toad Town Post Office, P. O. Box 7144, Secret Toad." The seller claims to accept no complaints or returned goods. Later in the game, a fan of Princess Peach posts complaints about it. It says that they paid 100 coins but got three unbeautiful, out-of-focus photos.

The Darkening
The Darkening was a time period of the Flora Calendar, invented by the Floro Sapiens, mentioned in Super Paper Mario, happening in Flora years 444 to 496. It was caused by King Croacus I, a once-great ruler, but due to the wilting of his son, he became corrupted, starting the Darkening. The Darkening is never explicitly described, but it can be assumed that it was a period of civil war. The Darkening was stopped by Queen Croacus II by overtaking the previous king.
