Other appearances
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Lady Bow and Bootler both reappear in Poshley Heights after Mario defeats the Shadow Queen. Lady Bow says she and Bootler are on vacation but is happy to see her old friend again. In the game's remake an arrangement of the 'Main Title' from Paper Mario plays during the conversation.
In Super Paper Mario, a poster of Lady Bow can be seen on the wall in one of the rooms in Fort Francis. She can also be obtained as a Catch Card
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there is a Lady Bow sticker that can be found. When equipped, it increases the power of the user's magic attacks by 8 and it can only be equipped by Princess Peach and Princess Zelda.
Trivia
- Lady Bow and Parakarry are the only partners from Paper Mario to make a physical appearance in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
- When battling Huff N. Puff on the Nintendo 64, if Huff N. Puff is defeated by Bow with an uncharged smack attack, Huff N. Puff will spin around in defeat slower than normal, causing Huff N. Puff's death animation to commence before the defeat animation can finish. The two animations interfere with each other and heavily skew Huff N. Puff's sprite, then crash the game, with the in-game crash handler citing the error as "TLB EXCEPTION ON STORE".
