As the title says, we are going to analyze all the references in The Bittlands chapter, because there are quite a few. Let's begin!
Bowser's castle in the Bitlands is based on the castle designs of the original Super Mario Bros.
And Bowser's battle theme is a remix of the music playing before Mario selects a level in Dark Land, in Super Mario Bros 3.
Francis' must-buy list includes something called Cyborg Wart, a reference to Wart, the final boss of Super Mario Bros 2. Tubba Blubba is also mentioned by Francis, stating that there is a TV show called "The Blubbening", which stars him, this boss is from Paper Mario N64. Sir Grodus and the X-Nauts are also referenced by him when he mentioned the TV shows, "The Grodus Chronicles" and "Starship X-Naut". On Francis' things to buy list, he wants a Ms. Mowz doll with "real smooching action", as well as the DVD, "Harder Than Bedrawk: The Rawk Hawk Story". A Magnus Von Grapple action figure is also on that list. There is also a poster here of Petuni.
Francis' to-buy list includes a "Tanooki suit made with real tanooki fur", a reference to the Tanooki Suit from Super Mario Bros 3.
Francis has posters of Lady Bow and Bowler, as can see in the pic, Francis also has plush toys of the Yoshi, Vivian, Admiral Bobbery, and Pennington.
Super Mario Bros. 3: The theme song that plays when the Big Blooper appears in Chapter 3-2 is an arrangement of the underwater background music that plays in this game.
