The official Nintendo character manual used throughout the early 1990s has a bizarre description for Toad where it claims that Toad was "off visiting relatives in the Fungus Federation at the time of the Koopa War", with the "Koopa War" being a reference to the events of Super Mario Bros.
The Fungus Federation location was never again referenced in any other work or media.
