| * <i>"You kids today! You don't have any respect for your elders!"
| |
| * "We never had movement like this when I was in video games!"
| |
| * "All this fun can't be good for you!"
| |
| * "I bet they wasted half the memory already, just on this section alone!"
| |
| * "They can't keep this level of graphics up for much longer!"
| |
| * "We used to be lucky if we got three shades of gray, let alone any real colors!"
| |
| * "We used to have to survive with a two frame walk!" | |
| * "Sometimes our sprites used to change size for no apparent reason!"

| * "We never had any of this fancy 3-D stuff! Oh no, we had to survive on what we had!" | |
| * "And what little we did have, we were happy with!"
| |
| * "Well, I've never seen anything like it!"
| |
| * "Enjoy this demo while you can, it can't last much longer!"
| |
| * "That's right, 4 shades of gray, in a 2x2 character block, that's all we had..."
| |
| * "I can't play this game, the colors are all too rich for my poor old eyes!" | |
| * "Why, even the bananas have more frames and colors than I had in the entire game!"
| |
| * "Look!...look at this!...as I rock, my beard swings! Waste of frames in my opinion!"
| |
| * "Aye! That was when we had real game play, that was!"
| |
| * "And this was developed with the latest state-of-the-art 3D workthingys, was it?"
| |
| * "The trouble with you kids, is that you're all too soft!"
| |
| * "The old games were far harder when I was a young 'un!"
| |
| * "We used to play for hours on a single screen game and think we were lucky, and we were!"
| |
| * "You wouldn't last two minutes in a real game!"
| |
| * "I could get through D.K.Country with only one life, easy!"
| |
| * "I'm talking about when games were games!"
| |
| * "3 lives and 3 continues, that's all we had!"
| |
| * "Games never looked like this when I was a lad!"
| |
| * "And we were much better off in those days as well."
| |
| * "Bet you thought this was 64-bit eh, boy?!"
| |
| * "I've got more game play in my little finger than you've got in this whole game!"
| |
| * "Y'know what they say, all graphics and no game play!"
| |
| * "32 meg..? That would be more than 30 games in my day, and they'd be great games, too!"
| |
| * "Back in my days, we used to have real game play..."
| |
| * "You know what's even worse? When you get to the end, and then have to start again!"
| |
| * "You wouldn't know a good game if you were in it!" | |
| * "A single joystick, and a single button is all that's needed to make good game play!"
| |
| * "I wouldn't be seen dead in a game like this one!"
| |
| * "I say you can't better the graphics, sounds and playability of a Game & Watch!"
| |
| * "So you're back again! I knew a punk kid like you couldn't do the job..."
| |
| * "That was quick. You didn't leave me enough time to think of any other stupid comments!"
| |
| * "I don't know why I'm telling you all this, you didn't listen last time!"
| |
| * "You have to do better than that!"
| |
| * "You only just left!"
| |
| * "Back again?! That was quick!"
| |
| * "Came back to the master for more advice, hunh?!"
| |
| * "Still got you beat, hunh?!"
| |
| * "Yup! Don't make game players like they used to!"
| |
| * "Okay, I'll do the level for you!... Naw!.. Only kidding!"
| |
| * "I don't know how you dare show your face in here again, after that pitiful performance!"</i>
| |
| | |
| ====Goodbyes====
| |
| * <i>"That's all folks! There's nothing more I can tell you."
| |
| * "You know all you need to know, for now."
| |
| * "Come back and see me sometime, I'll be here!"
| |
| * "I don't know any more than that at the moment."
| |
| * "That's all there is to it. Piece of cake if you ask me."
| |
| * "So long, suckers! Try not to hurt yourself out there!"
| |
| * "That's all the advice old Cranky here can give you."
| |
| * "I'm getting tired, I gotta take me a nap!"
| |
| * "You practically know more than I do, now. Well... almost."
| |
| * "I don't have anything else to tell you right now, maybe later."
| |
| * "I could sit here and rock all day, especially if you two leave me alone!"
| |
| * "I gotta go now, I'll see you guys later... if you're lucky!"
| |
| * "Well, that's about the size of it!"
| |
| * "Say, is that the time? I gotta fly."
| |
| * "I could tell you yarns about the old days all day long!"
| |
| * "Y'all come back now, hear?!"
| |
| * "If you get stuck, come back and see me."
| |
| * "Can't say I expect to see you again, but you might get lucky, I guess."
| |
| * "It's been nice talking to you guys."
| |
| * "Eh sonny? Speak up, I can't hear you!"
| |
| * "Donkey Kong, I've seen enough! That tie-- turn it off!"
| |
| * "This stereo sound is making my tired old ears bleed! Turn it down before you go!"
| |
| * "All this game play is too much for me."
| |
| * "I'm back to my cabin for a nap! Remember the original Donkey Kong? Think I'll go play that... see you later!"
| |
| * "There's too many baddies around for my liking..."
| |
| * "I'm off to lie down!"
| |
| * "I'd ask you in, but they didn't have any memory left to display the cabin interior!"
| |
| * "Now, off you go!! See if you can't finish this ridiculous quest without my help!"
| |
| * "Make sure to shut the gate on your way out. I didn't raise you in a barn!"
| |
| * "See ya later, alligator! Ha! Ha!"
| |
| * "After a while, crocodile!"</i>
| |
| | |
| ====Completion====
| |
| * <i>"Well done Donkey my boy! Who'd have thought a young whippersnapper like you could've beaten that bunch of no good Kremlings? You've made an old man proud! Go and look in your hoard, I think you'll be in for a surprise!"
| |
| * "If I had been playing, I'd have found everything!"
| |
| * "I'm sure there must be some bonus rooms you haven't found!"
| |
| * "What a player you are, Donkey my lad! You've beaten the Kremlings, and found absolutely everything! You're nearly as good as I used to be!"
| |
| * "Congratulations Red Team!"
| |
| * "Congratulations Yellow Team!"
| |
| * "You whupped those crafty crocodiles and are first past the post!"
| |
| * "Whatever happened to the Yellow Team? I guess those guys need more practice!"
| |
| * "Whatever happened to the Red Team? I guess those guys need more practice!"
| |
| * "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Red Team! What happened to you two?"
| |
| * "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Yellow Team! What happened to you two?"
| |
| * "The Yellow Team finished ages ago! Too good for you were they, huh?"
| |
| * "The Red Team finished ages ago! Too good for you were they, huh?"
| |
| </i>
| |
| | |
| ====Manual====
| |
| | |
| * <i>"Look at the fancy box. Look at the size of this instruction manual. You don't think they would have gone to all this trouble of{{sic}} the game was any good, do you?!"
| |
| * "You're only reading this because you're bored!"
| |
| * "I wouldn't believe a word of this! I've been everywhere and I found only two locations, bad ones at that!"
| |
| * "I can't believe you're still reading this! What you need is a good trashing!"
| |
| * "Bonus Levels? Ha! Don't hold your breath looking for these, there are none."
| |
| * "Tired of me? You're lucky I'm here to brighten up this boring manual!"
| |
| * "Err... Nope! None of these baddies are in! They must have slipped in the wrong instruction manual or something!"
| |
| * "Does anyone ever actually use these memo pages? Waste of paper if you ask me!"</i>
| |
| *''"Copy?! Who'd want to copy this game?"''</i>
| |
| | |
| ====Defeating a boss (Game Boy Advance only)====
| |
| *<i>"I can't believe it. You trampled all over Gnawty. Give me that giant banana. I will take care of it for you. Come on, get going. You can't rest yet."
| |
| *"You sure showed that stupid bird who's boss. Good, that's another banana back. Now go down to Vine Valley and find the others." | |
| *"Well, you told him to buzz off. You looked in trouble for a while. Come on, hand it over. I will take that banana for you. Make sure you wrap up warm. I have got a feeling you'll need to." | |
| *"Are my old eyes playing tricks? I'm sure I have seen that beaver before. Where could it have been? Grab the banana and give it to me. Head down the mountain to the factory." | |
| *"Oh dear! Call that tin can a boss? Surely [[King K. Rool|K.ROOL]] can come up with better than that, maybe a bucket or perhaps a really nasty fridge! Come on, you are nearly there now. Just Chimp Caverns to go." | |
| *"It's just like the old days, reusing the boss, changing it's{{sic}} color and pretending it is completely new. That's it, only [[King K. Rool|K.ROOL]] left to beat. Come on, let's go and kick his scaly butt!"</i> | |

| * "Well, you've amazed your old Grandpa by getting this far!"
| |
| * "So, you've finally come to get some game play advice from your old Grandpa!"

None of this lazing around on the beach."'' |

| |
| *"''I didn't! Whisking off maidens and chucking barrels, seven days a week I was! There was none of this lazin' around on a beach!''"
| |
| *"''I wouldn't be caught dead in a game with bonus levels, end-of-level bosses, and a screen that scrolls!''"
| |
| *"''Say hello to your old grandpappy Cranky. I'm back by popular demand to offer my wealth of gameplay wisdom for this unnecessary sequel.''"
| |
| *"''I'd sort out old K. Rool for you real quick, but I'd be spoiling the limited fun you're trying to get out of this shoddy product!''"

| |
