Trivia

 * In Final Fantasy IX, Boco is the name of one of the cards in the Tetra Master minigame. He has an appearance similar to that of Final Fantasy V's Boko.
 * In the same game, the Black Mages raise a Chocobo in their village and name him Bobby Corwen. This could be a reference to Boco, as the first two letters of the first and last names spell "Boco" (Bobby Corwen).
 * Boco is also mentioned in Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-. On the Shera, one of the WRO members mentions that she keeps a river chocobo named Boco at the Chocobo Farm.
 * In Dissidia Final Fantasy, Bartz carries around one of Boko's feathers as a good luck charm and gives it to Squall as a promise they will meet up again when Squall heads off on his own. The feather later helps lead Squall and Zidane to find Bartz once he is captured, at which point Squall returns the feather to him. Additionally, a Chocobo's cry is heard at the beginning of Bartz's EX Burst, along with Chocobo tracks walking across the screen.
