| - Several other species were explored, including the Spooble, the morphing Phoob, and the Merdlidops. On one occasion, a group of Fazoobs auditioned for Kermit. In Muppets Tonight episode 101, Nigel tells the crew to run the tape of the Koozebanian dance number, which features members of the Extremes, suggesting that they may be from Koozebane. The planet would also be featured later on Muppet Babies, Little Muppet Monsters and City Kids. According to the Muppet Morsels on The Muppet Show: Season One DVD set, the name came from Coos Bay, Oregon, which Jim Henson thought was a really funny name for a town. In 2003, the Muppets Party Cruise video game was released with a series of mini-games hosted by various characters. Dr. Julius Strangepork and Link Hogthrob introduce one such game called "Asteroid Belt," an update of the arcade classic Asteroids. In the distance, beyond the game-play area, a ringed-planet can be seen. Given the prominence of the planet Koozebane as the go-to planet of choice for any such inter-stellar activity, it's likely that this was meant to have been the first appearance of Koozebane as viewed from space. This is supported by the fact that none of the planets in our own solar system with rings are located near an asteroid field. It can be inferred that this fictitious planet was intended to be the planet Koozebane, although it's not directly referred to by name. Palisades Toys released a Koozebane Kermit Action Figure, which featured Kermit in his reporter garb along with the Male, Female, and one Baby Koozebanian Creature. The action figures came with a small, rocky base with two undetachable Merdlidops. Three variants of this set were produced exclusively for Target. Koozebane was featured in Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet: When Pigs Fly. The band, Mon Swoon was entered into a Planet Koozebane variety show Universe's Got Chutzpah! In 2009, the book Star Wars: The Essential Atlas included Koozebane in an index listing every planet mentioned in that franchise's movies, comic books and novels.
