This is a list of quotes from Paper Mario: Color Splash by character (A–O).

Action Toad[edit]

  • "Mario! Welcome to my dojo! I've watched more kung-fu movies than any other Toad in the area, so I'm kind of an expert on combat. If you're going to be out there defending yourself from wild Goombas and Shy Guys, you're going to have to learn good timing. And I'm just the Toad to help!"
  • "Let's get started, shall we? Which Action Command do you want to practice first?"
  • "All right, which Action Command do you want to practice now?"
  • "Ah, Jump. Classic. All right, take your position!"
  • "Ah, the tried and true. Hammer never lets you down, does it? All right, get ready!"
  • "Ooh, Fire Flower. Yes. This one is spicy. All right, let's get ready!"
  • "Nice, sticking to the fundamentals. Not every player will try this one. But you will, because you're a boss!"
  • "Oh? Going to play your way into shape? That's cool. If you ever change your mind and feel like you want a refresher, just come see me, OK?"
  • "All right. Good job today! I hope you can put this training to use out there in the real world. Come see me again anytime if you feel like training some more."
  • "Great work today, Mario! I think you're ready to put this stuff to use out there in the wild! Just so you know, you can always tap [manual] on the GamePad to check out the manual, too."
  • "Yeah, yeah, I get it. You're Mario! You know what you're doing out there! It's true... Well, if you ever do decide that you want a little more practice, you can come back anytime. Oh, and just so you know, you can tap [manual] on the GamePad to check out the manual, too."
  • "OK, so this might be reasonably familiar to you. If you press A Button just before landing on an enemy, you'll get an extra Jump attack. With most basic Jump Battle Cards, you can string together five Jump attacks in a row! You can also tap the GamePad instead of pressing A Button. Up to you. Ready to give it a try?"
  • "So here's a crash course in smashing with the hammer! When you rear back to swing, watch for a burst of light coming from the top of the hammer. Press A Button or tap your GamePad when the light is at its brightest to swing with max force! (Incidentally, Max Force is the working title of my autobiographical kung-fu script.) But we can talk about that later.) If you time it just right, you'll get an "Excellent!" and inflict huge damage on your enemy. But be careful! Wait too long, and you'll bungle it and do almost no damage. Ready to do this thing? Engage Max Force! I mean.. go ahead. Sorry, that's kind of my catchphrase."
  • "OK, so here's the trick to the Fire Flower. When the fireball forms in your hand, press A Button to throw it! If you press A Button too early or too late, it'll fizzle into a tiny failball and the attack will end prematurely. But if you keep pressing A Button at the right time, you can launch up to four fireballs! You can also tap the GamePad screen instead of pressing A Button. Whatever's clever! OK. Let's fire it up!"
  • "OK, let me show you the proper way to guard against attacks. If you press A Button just before being hit by an attack, you'll block the attack and take less damage. Even if you get hit with the start of an enemy's combo attack, you can still recover and block some damage, so don't give up! You can also tap the GamePad screen instead of pressing A Button. Whatever floats your boat! OK. Let's try it!"
  • "Great! Very close! The last one was just a tiny bit early."
  • "Nice! Not bad at all. The last one was a little early."
  • "Pretty good. Build on that! Your last one was early."
  • "Great! Very close! The last one was just a tiny bit late."
  • "Nice! Not bad at all. The last one was a little late."
  • "Pretty good. Build on that! Your last one was late."
  • "Nice! Not bad at all. You were just a little bit late."
  • "Great! Almost perfect. Your timing was just a little bit early."
  • "Nice! Not bad at all. You were just a little bit early."
  • "Not bad. Build on that! Your timing was a little bit early."
  • "Excellent! You nailed it! I don't even think I've seen that done in a movie!"
  • "Great! Very close! The last one was just a tiny bit early."
  • "Great! Very close! The last one was just a tiny bit late."
  • "Nice! Not bad at all. The last one was a little early."
  • "Nice! Not bad at all. The last one was a little late."
  • "Pretty good. Build on that! Your last one was early."
  • "Pretty good. Build on that! Your last one was late."
  • "Hmm...you're a bit trigger-happy there. You need to be a little more patient. Maybe try again?"
  • "Whoa! Slow down, grasshopper! I've always wanted to say that. Your timing is too early."
  • "Hmm...you're a bit slow on the draw there. You need to be a little more aggressive. Maybe try again?"
  • "I'm looking for a little more urgency in your action... Try again!"
  • "That's how it's done! A successful block! That'll reduce the damage you take."
  • "Perfect!"
  • "Early!"
  • "Late!"
  • "Wanna practice again?"
  • "Some weirdo suddenly appeared, and he won't get out of the way. Creepy!"

Accordion Goombas[edit]

  • "We ain't your father's Goombas."
  • "Boing, boing!"
  • "We expand, you contract!"
  • "Try jumping! Or, y'know... don't..."

Animal Trainer Shy Guy[edit]

  • "It's OK... Everything is OK..."
  • "Thweep!"
  • "Wait!"
  • "I'm a professional!"

Barista Toad[edit]

  • "Look, Mario. You may have saved all of our lives countless times, but that doesn't mean you can cut in line."
  • "Sorry, Mario. Had a huge lunch rush today, and we're fresh out of everything!"
  • "Maybe lay off the snooze button a bit, eh, big guy?"
  • "They rolled up Ruddy Road! My café is sky-high!"
  • "What am I supposed to do now? Someone probably already owns the trademark for Sky-High Café!"
  • "Can't you, I don't know, unroll the ground somehow, Mario?"
  • "Looks like it's stuck to the ground somehow. It's no use hitting it from this side."
  • "No one messes with my café and gets away with it!"
  • "Oh, Mario! Good timing!"
  • "Those masked guys may have tipped well, but I can't forgive them after what they did to my café."
  • "I'm trying to teach them a lesson, but I've been doing Pilates, so I'm not heavy enough to squash them."
  • "But I was thinking if we jump at the same time, we could give 'em a real stomping!"
  • "C'mon. Pleeeease?"
  • "The customer is NOT always right!"
  • "WOO! I feel so much better! Back to the café with me! Thanks, Mario!"
  • "You know, it felt good to smoosh those guys, but now I don't have any customers left."
  • "What's the point of having a café without customers? If a cup of coffee is brewed but not drunk, is it even coffee?"
  • "A customer! YEEEEEEAH! I haven't had a customer in ages!"
  • "Oh... Never mind. It's just you, Mario. Welp, that settles it. Time to close up shop and give up on my dream."
  • "UHHHHHHH... WHAT?! But the Prisma Café is world famous! You've got customers out the ears!"
  • "I mean, if you really want this place, then yeah - I'll trade with you!"
  • "Awesome! Starting today I'm the proprietor of the Prisma Café! I'm gonna work my stem off!"

Big Paint Stars[edit]

  • "Thank you... both."
  • "That is correct, Huey. I am using the power of paint to color your thoughts."
  • "Thank you both for saving me, but there's work yet to do."
  • "As you can see, the other Big Paint Stars are still missing."
  • "If it will help, I can share my memory of what happened here with you."
  • "But be warned... it is not pleasant. Please, close your eyes..."
  • "Yes, we have been scattered far and wide, preventing us from supplying the fountain–and our world–with life-giving paint."
  • "But there is hope! Mario, Huey... if you can find the remaining five Big Paint Stars, the fountain can be restored."
  • "Good luck, and let the paint be your guide."
  • "Mario... and you too, Huey..."
  • "Thanks for saving me. I am the yellow Big Paint Star."
  • "My memory is a little better than the red Big Paint Star's. Allow me to get you up to speed."
  • "Before Bowser scattered up across the land, his underlings showed up..."
  • "Thank you... I am the blue Big Paint Star."
  • "Allow me to share my memories with you..."
  • "I am the purple Big Paint Star. Mario, Huey, thank you for saving me."
  • "I remember the attack on Port Prisma very clearly..."
  • "I am the Orange Big Paint Star."
  • "I remember what happened just before Bowser's army attacked Port Prisma."
  • "Let me show you... what happened to Bowser. I warn you: it's not for the faith of heart."
  • "Mario, Huey... You've both done splendidly."
  • "I'm the green Big Paint Star."
  • "My account of these unfortunate events should make everything clear."
  • "You're probably still wondering why the fountain's paint turned black."
  • "The truth is..."
  • "Oh ye of little faith!"
  • "Mario, Huey... as promised, we will show you the way. Behold! The power of paint!"

Big Spiny[edit]

  • "Well, if it ain't the delusional duo."
  • "Who woulda thunk that some hairy-lipped senior citizen and a rusty trash can would make it this far?"
  • "Not me, boys. Not me."
  • "Course, now that you're here, I'm afraid this is where your story ends."
  • "Can it, can man!"
  • "This shiny, painty thing is property of the Spiny tribe of Kiwano Temple. It's not going anywhere."
  • "Now, you gonna throw yourselves in the lava, or do I gotta do it for you?"
  • "You wanna go again, tough guys? Let's dance!"

Birdo[edit]

  • "When did we fall so madly in love?"
  • "Those plump pursed lips."
  • "The overdone purple eye shadow."
  • "You only call me by moonlight..."
  • "Two hearts in doki doki panic."
  • "My heart Flutter Jumps."
  • "Kiss me, my darling."
  • "Oops! There's an egg on your face..."

Black Shy Guy[edit]

  • "Slicing through the mist
    Paint will be spilled here today
    The shy ninja strikes
    "
  • "Can I defeat you, I wonder. Let's find out, shall we?"
  • "My belt is black too!"
  • "I know all your moves."
  • "*fwish*"
  • "....."

Bloo[edit]

  • "Thanks for saving me, Mario!"
  • "I got jumped by a bunch of Shy Guys out of nowhere, and I just broke down and started crying..."
  • "One of these days, I'll toughen up and become a Toad who stands up for himself!"
  • "Whoa, the gang's all here! Well, mostly here..."
  • "What's up with Piper though? Sending out that letter and not even showing up himself?!"
  • "I guess I better keep it down just in case he shows up. He was usually pretty laid back, but when he was angry... LOOK OUT!"
  • "Remember the time we got ambushed by that gang of thugs?"
  • "They all started making fun of Piper, saying his legs were short, his head was big... Really dumb stuff."
  • "And Piper just laughed! Just totally shrugged 'em off! But THEN they came after me sayin' "Why so blue, ya crybaby?!""
  • "Which really hit home, y'know, since I am a crybaby and all. So I start crying, and Piper starts gnashing his teeth and breathing heavy..."
  • "Before I know what's goin' on, Piper jumps on one of 'me and swallows him whole!"
  • "Piper had to lay low for a while after that, but those thugs never bothered US again, that's for sure!"
  • "WHAT?!"
  • "The flowers..."
  • "THIS IS PIPER!"
  • "HE'S ALIVE!"
  • "Let's go, Piper! Best friends together again!"

Bloo Bay Beach barista[edit]

  • "Welcome! Enjoying Oceanfest?!"
  • "Welcome! Welcome!"
  • "Enjoying Oceanfest? Enjoying Oceanfest?"
  • "I had no idea there was someone behind me! I was too focused on being a hip and likable barista!"
  • "What did you think of Oceanfest? I made bank in tips!"

Boo[edit]

  • "Quit staring!"
  • "Ahahaha!"
  • "Mind turning around for a minute?"
  • "Boo! Yeah!"
  • "Why, I never!"
  • "This is a ghosts-only spa!"

Boomerang Bro[edit]

  • "BOOM! ERANG!"
  • "How's my boomerang taste?"
  • "You 'rang?"
  • "RANGZZZ!"
  • "We've made soooo many Bob-ombs already today..."
  • "Whaddaya say we play hooky this afternoon? Maybe toss the ol' boomerang a little?"
  • "AHHHHHH! Oh, it's just Mario. Whew!"
  • "For a second I thought Bowser caught us slacking off."

Bowser[edit]

  • "BWAHAHA! Feast your eyes!"
  • "I have harnessed the power of the black paint! Nothing can stop me now! Soon I will share the dark gift of black paint with the entire world! GWAHAHA! Later, chumps!"
  • "Well, well, well. Mario! I must admit–I didn't think you'd make it this far."
  • "Your beloved Princess Peach is here too! I knew she wouldn't want to miss this. Of course, I couldn't have her sending out those pesky little letters behind my back... You know what she said when I caught her spying on me? "I've been framed!" BAHAHAHA!"
  • "BWAHAHA! Put a lid on it, Rusty! I'll show you the true meaning of PAINT!"
  • "Huh? Mario?! What are you doing in my castle, chump?! Is...is Princess Peach with you?"
  • "GRAAAAAAAAARH! IGNORE THE WORDS I JUST SAID! SUFFER THE TRUE POWER OF BLACK PAINT!"
  • "Running won't get you anywhere! This doesn't end until one of us drops. Most likely you!"
  • "YOU DARE STEAL THE BLACK PAINT?! LET'S SEE YOU BLOCK...THIS!"
  • "ARGH! THAT'S IT! PREPARE TO FACE...MY LAST BREATH!"
  • "OK, NOW THIS IS *REALLY* MY LAST BREATH. THE OTHER ONE WAS A WARM-UP!"
  • "Wha...? What's going on? MARIO?! What are YOU doing here? Do we have a kart race scheduled for today? WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BRAIN, CHUMPS?! And why do I feel like I just got hit by a bus?!"

Bridge Kinopio[edit]

  • "H-huh? You...you're Mario!"
  • "I came here from Port Prisma to - Wait...why did I come here again?"
  • "Oh yeah! I came to see the bridge to the Crimson Tower."
  • "It's supposed to be a truly remarkable bridge. Any bridge builder worth their salt has studied it."
  • "But while I was trying to open this gate, some guy snuck up on me with a straw."
  • "But then you came along and saved me. So thanks for that!"
  • "You'd better believe it. I'm a bridge builder by trade - a real bridge-repair guru!"
  • "What?! This is an emergency! I have to get back to Port Prisma!"
  • "Just you wait, bridge! I'll fix you up real nice like!"
  • "Check it out! I fixed the bridge! It's as good as new."
  • "Of course, you never saw it when it was new, so you'll just have to trust me on that one."
  • "Please, go ahead and cross it. I love to see people enjoy my work."
  • "Hey! Mario!"
  • "This is it! The Crimson Tower bridge!"
  • "Isn't she a beaut?"
  • "Go on, Mario! Cross the bridge! Cross the bridge!"
  • "Go on, Mario! Cross the bridge! I wanna see what it looks like!"

Buzzy Beetle[edit]

  • "Buzzy Beetle Blocker...engage!"
  • "Bah!"
  • "Can't flip me!"
  • "Buzzy Beetle beatdown!"
  • "Clickity-clack!"
  • "Bzzzzz!"
  • "Buzz-side down..."
  • "Whoopsie!"

Card Connoisseur Toad[edit]

  • "You there! The strong-looking fellow with the hammer!"
  • "You seem as though you've seen a battle or two, which means you must have a Battle Card... or two. Please forgive the intrusion, but might I take a look at them?"
  • "Wait...you don't have ANY Battle Cards? I dare say...that's rather unsettling. Please come back and see me once you've obtained some Battle Cards. Good DAY, sir!"
  • "Oh, come now! I just want to look at them, and also touch all of them! Sir, I must insist!"
  • "Oh, yes. Exquisite... You, sir, have the finest collection of Battle Cards I've ever laid my stubby fingers on. Bar none!"
  • "Oh, incidentally, here are your cards back. Thank you for allowing me to fondle them."
  • "I'll take my leave of you now. Thank you for sharing your wondrous Battle Cards with me."
  • "Ah, Mr. Mario. How splendid that you had the good sense to entertain my offer. Follow me, please."
  • "Come, this way."
  • "Oh, ho! Sorry, old sport, but I'm afraid you've made your choice. Please come with me."
  • "I've spent long years of my life designing and constructing this place in order to document the history and culture of Prism Island..."
  • "Welcome, friends, to a little place that I like to call..."
  • "Prisma Museum!"
  • "Au contraire, my friend! My mission is to make our collection as accessible as possible. Even a common undergraduate art student should be able to appreciate it!"
  • "There's just one tiny thing. I don't actually HAVE anything to display as of yet. And having seen your collection of Battle Cards, my dear Mario... I feel we would be in rather good hands if you chose to donate..."
  • "Splendid. I knew I could count on someone with such fine taste in Battle Cards..."
  • "With that, please allow me to give you the grand tour."
  • "The three blue doors in front of you are card galleries displaying Battle Cards. From left to right, the blue doors contain Basic Cards, Enemy Cards, and Thing Cards."
  • "If you have cards that you can donate to a room, the star above the door will light up. To donate a card, simply enter the room and follow the Toad's instructions."
  • "Moving on! The red door to the left leads to the art exhibit. The more cards you donate, the more pieces we'll be able to add to each exhibit!"
  • "Finally, the green door to the right leads to the sound exhibit. You'll be able to populate it with sounds by completely repainting courses."
  • "Ask the guide Toad in each exhibit for more information, or ask me if you'd like to know about the state of the overall collection."
  • "I can't thank you enough for your assistance. Take care."
  • "Welcome to the Prisma Museum! Let's check your donations so far..."
  • "• Basic Cards [Number of cards donated]/60
    • Enemy Cards
    [Number of cards donated]/72
    • Thing Cards
    [Number of cards donated]/27"
  • "Aside from that, there's also...
    • Artwork
    [Number of artwork unlocked]/40
    • Records
    [Number of records unlocked]/33"
  • "Thanks again for your help, old sport."
  • "Mario, you've donated no small number of cards! It's enabled us to procure more art for the gallery."
  • "My, my, you've been busy with the old paint hammer, haven't you? Well, don't think we haven't noticed. Thanks to your fine efforts, we've been able to procure some records for the sound gallery."
  • "Mario, you've donated every known card in existence. That is simply remarkable. What's more, the very last piece of art has arrived in the gallery. Which means our art collection is finally complete! Keep up the good work, old sport. At this rate, you'll have filled the entire museum singlehandedly."
  • "Good heavens, Mario. My records indicate that you have now donated every known card in existence! What's more, the very last piece of art has arrived in the gallery. Which means our art collection is finally complete! And that's not all..."
  • "All of the exhibits are full, meaning Prisma Museum is now complete! Thank you, Mario. Please take some time to enjoy the fruits of your labor!"
  • "Welcome back to Prisma Museum. Please take some time to enjoy the fruits of your labor."
  • "I heard you cleared Black Bowser's Castle! Congratulations! The Black Bowser's Castle record has been added to the sound gallery."
  • "What's more, you've now completely finished repainting every last course! Simply breathtaking."
  • "You cleared Black Bowser's Castle after completely repainting every last course! That means we've been able to add another special record to the sound gallery. And with that, the sound gallery is now complete! Thank you! Keep up the good work. We'll finish this museum yet!"
  • "You cleared Black Bowser's Castle after completely repainting every last course! That means we've been able to add another special record to the sound gallery! And with that, the sound gallery is now complete! Thank you! And..."

Circus Bro[edit]

  • "My form is perfect."
  • "Fly, boomerang!"
  • "Boomerang, come back!"
  • "Hattack!"
  • "Lemmy vanished into thin air? Knowing him, it's probably part of his act."
  • "I bet he's somewhere shaking his groove thing. I swear–that guy! Once he hits the dance floor, he's totally incapacitated!"

Daffodil Peak park ranger[edit]

  • "Oh, hey... Need a climbing permit?"
  • "Yeah... Look, I'm sorry, but I'm not really in the mood."
  • "My cabin is a wreck. Vandals broke in and drained the color everywhere. I'm too depressed to do my job..."
  • "My cabin is still in shambles. Guess I'll have to find a new place..."
  • "It's still pretty messed up in here. I guess I could move in with my cousin in Port Prisma."
  • "There are still a couple of messed-up spots in here. Sigh..."
  • "Oh! This is my favorite chair!"
  • "Somehow it must have gotten folded up into a plain, old box!"
  • "But they must have also drained the color from it. What a shame. It was my favorite chair ever."
  • "I can't believe they messed with my favorite chair. It's just not the same without its color."
  • "Pretty sure there's still a spot near the chimney. Ugh..."
  • "It almost feels like we're frozen in time. Like time...has stopped. Ugh..."
  • "Still feels like there's a big spot left on the floor. Ugh..."
  • "It still feels like there's a colorless spot somewhere on the floor. Ugh..."
  • "Still feels like there's a spot somewhere on the floor. Ugh..."
  • "Pretty sure there's still a spot near the window. Ugh..."
  • "Why harm a defenseless doormat? Vandals..."
  • "Aw man. My mom's painting is still messed up. Ugh..."
  • "Woooooo! My cabin! I can't believe it!"
  • "Mario! You fixed my place! Thanks so much!"
  • "My heart and my cabin are back to their bright, happy selves."
  • "And as a thank-you, here..."
  • "Take this climbing permit! They'll usually run you a pretty penny, but this one's on the house, so to speak!"
  • "Hold on a minute! I didn't lie to anyone!"
  • "There is a Mountain Sage here! I've seen him with my own eyes!"
  • "Hey, kids love that cutout!"
  • "Look, I haven't seen the sage in a while, but he used to train on the mountaintop."
  • "You've gotta believe me! If rumors get out that I made up the Mountain Sage thing, my business is done for!"
  • "I'm not lying! Swear on my spores! Now let's just keep this quiet and try to find the Mountain Sage."
  • "There really was a Mountain Sage before! I swear it. I wonder why he disappeared..."
  • "Awww, man. Now I have to find a new gatekeeper."
  • "Well, I guess I've been demoted. Thanks a ton, Mountain Sage."
  • "Welcome to Daffodil Peak, former home of the Mountain Sage who ruined my life!"

Fire Bro[edit]

  • "Here comes the heat!"
  • "I'm gonna light you up!"
  • "FWOOSH!"
  • "Burn!"
  • "Sound off!"
  • "Last one!"
  • "Coach, is this a drill?"
  • "We've been practicing hard!"
  • "Let's make sure Mario can't tell the boss on us."
  • "C'mon, fam! We'll knock off Mario, and then knock off early!"

Fire Bro 8-Stack[edit]

  • "Fear the power of eight!"
  • "Our 7-stack is still pretty hot!"
  • "Super six, baby!"
  • "Still alive with five, bro!"
  • "Half strength is more than enough!"
  • "We've still got our big three!"
  • "We're still 2 much for you!"
  • "I'm going down with the stack!"

Five Fun Guys[edit]

  • "My eyes are shut tight so I don't get any sand in them!"
  • "I can't see anything... but I can still sense awkward situations."
  • "You found me, didn't you?"
  • "Nice hat, pal! Gotta protect that scalp from the sun!"
  • "Phew! I'm getting a wicked sunburn. The sun sure is angry today."
  • "You know a thing or two about the Angry Sun, don't ya?"
  • "I think I got thum thand in my mouth. Pweh pthew!"
  • "I got in here to hide, and then the shell closed on me!"
  • "Now my hair is messed up. Maybe no one will notice."
  • "Ugh... my hair is totally messed up now."
  • "Welco–"
  • "Oh, you got me. On the plus side, I can make a mean latte now!"
  • "I had the sunglasses! I had the mannerisms! I can't believe you found me!"
  • "Man, it was really hot up there."
  • "Makes you really feel the plight of the coconut, you know?"
  • "I need to find some sunscreen STAT."
  • "Maybe I've got the key, maybe I don't."
  • "Maybe I've got the key."
  • "Why, yes–I AM a Toad."
  • "Are you paying attention?"
  • "Don't mess this up, OK?"
  • "You think I have the key?"
  • "Tough luck, pal! I had the key!"
  • "Sorry, we were just trying to have a little fun."
  • "No hard feelings?"
  • "You knew it was me all along, huh? It's usually easy to spot a gem among stones."
  • "I'm afraid I overdid it a little with the shuffling. Threw my back out."
  • "Apparently there's a copycat group called the Five Shy Guys. What a bunch of hacks."
  • "The five of us are really good friends. We never get sick of one another's insufferable personalities and irritating faces."
  • "Well done, Mario! Quick thinking, paint bucket... thing."

Foreman[edit]

  • "Welcome to Toad Trainworks. We work on engines and big train cars here...sometimes. I've been the foreman here since you were knee high to a toadstool, but there ain't been much work lately. Yeah, I'm thinking it may be time to hang it up. I'll probably retire after my next job."
  • "Paint Stars? I don't think so... Not unless that weird star made of paint over there is a Paint Star..."
  • "Here you go. Go on—take it. I got no use for it."
  • "Life is rough enough as it is. Nothing wrong with taking the easy victories when they come, y'know? Course, there's always satisfaction in completing those big, tough jobs that always come around... But lately, I've been thinking that sometimes it's OK for things to end on a whimper. As if I had a choice..."
  • "Go ahead and take the Paint Star. I know you kids love your laser-light dog-and-pony shows, but it doesn't all have to be so complicated."
  • "How's that Paint Star treating you? Same old, same old 'round here... Just holding out until retirement."
  • "Boy, am I glad to see you, Mario. You'll never guess what happened... We got an order. A real order! An engine needs repairing. It's just so perfect for my last job! But these hooligans are...oh, how do you kids say it...? All up in our biz, so now we can't do any repairs! And repairs is my biz! I'm a lover and a fixer, but I've never been much of a fighter. Think you could help us out?"
  • "We've already repaired or replaced all of the train's parts. Now we just have to put the parts in the right places! I know it won't be easy to do while you're fending off these lug nuts, but you're Mario, right? Talk to me if you want to get a status update, OK? I'm always happy to help."
  • "There are six parts that need to be set. Each part has a Toad in charge of it, so listen closely to what they've got to say!"
  • "Still five parts that need to be set. Lot left to do, so hop to it!"
  • "Still four parts that need to be set. Get a move on!"
  • "Still three more parts to be set! I'm not payin' you to stand around! In fact, I ain't payin' you at all!"
  • "Just two more parts that need to be set! If you got time to lean, you got time to... get those last two parts!"
  • "Only one more part that needs to be set! You're so, so...so, so, so...very very, just so...like, you can almost taste it close! HURRY! GO!"
  • "You're down to the last part that needs to be set! I got a feeling it's not quite shut!"
  • "I think we're almost ready to roll... But one of the engineers is still missing!"
  • "Go ahead and refer to the chart over there on that wall."
  • "Smokestack set!"
  • "Coal car set!"
  • "Coal set!"
  • "Boiler set!"
  • "Cabin set!"
  • "Lid set!"
  • "All parts accounted for! Repairs complete!"
  • "At a glance, the train doesn't look no different, but all of the parts have been overhauled and tuned up. Should run just as well as it did before it was crushed. Hope that I can say the same about myself, seein' as how me and this train seemed to be connected to each other!"
  • "One last run... Give it everything you've got, engine."
  • "This is all thanks to you, Mario, so please take this."
  • "Right. Gather round, boys."
  • "This is the end for me. I'm officially retiring now. Thanks for all the good memories."
  • "I'm going to stay and soak in this trainworks for a while. Try to cement these memories in my heart... But unlike me, your work isn't over yet. You've got a bright future ahead of you. Enjoy it. It goes so fast..."
  • "What are you waitin' for, son? Go find that Mini Paint Star."
  • "I'm happy that I retired, but I have no idea what I should do now. Something passionate and exciting, maybe... Yeah, I like that..."

Fort Cobalt barista[edit]

  • "Welcome to the Prisma Café at Fort Cobalt! Our most popular dish is the Magma Burger. It's so hot, it'll put Draggadon hair on your chest!"
  • "Welcome to the Prisma Café at Fort Cobalt! What can I get started for you?"
  • "Would you like something else?"
  • "The Magma Burger is our most popular dish. Only 200 coins!"
  • "Oh, sorry! We're fresh out of those! It's our best seller! Hopefully they'll be back in stock next time you visit. Come again!"
  • "For a limited time we're offering the Booyah Meal! It's the Magma Burger and a bonus item!"
  • "Oh, that was the last Booyah Meal we had in stock. Lucky you!"
  • "You, uh, sure you want the Special?"
  • "OK. Just act natural, and listen up. This café is a front. I'm a highly trained superspy who just happens to make the best darn latte this side of Redpepper Volcano."
  • "I've got some intel about a card that might be effective against the new superweapon they're developing."
  • "Take these with you. They might come in handy. *wink*"
  • "I'm collecting new intel all the time, so check back with me if you're having trouble."
  • "I've got some intel about the new weapon they're developing."
  • "When it dives underwater, try using something that can pull it back up. Something real floaty-like, ya dig?"
  • "I've got some more intel about that new weapon they're developing."
  • "The Tail card is effective against the weapon these guys are developing. That's all I got for you...for now. Scram before they get suspicious! And then come see me later..."
  • "I heard you destroyed the enemy's new superweapon. Nice work, comrade."
  • "Thanks for stopping by. Please come again."

Ghost Toads[edit]

  • "Argh! Where did that book go?! I've been tearing this place apart trying to find it."
  • "For some reason this book here is way heavier than the others, and I can't seem to move it!"
  • "I can't find that book! It doesn't seem to be this super-heavy one either."
  • "It was definitely on this bookshelf before! Someone must have borrowed it and not brought it back!"
  • "YEAH! This is the book! Thanks so much!"
  • "Now that I have my book, the meeting should go great! I'd better get to work!"
  • "I'm looking for room 201, but I can't seem to find it."
  • "Huh?"
  • "Oh, you're right! Room 201! How did I miss that?!"
  • "Thanks to you I was finally able to check in!"
  • "But I've got a tea party to get to, so I've gotta jet. Ta-ta!"
  • "I can't find them anywhere!"
  • "I can't see anything without them!"
  • "My glasses! I can see for days! I'm off to the party."
  • "No! It's gone! He stole it!"
  • "Ah, yes. This is it. Thank you!"
  • "Oh, but look at the time! I'm going to be late for my tea party!"
  • "Hello? HELLO? Can't you hear me? Why don't you answer?!"
  • "FINE. Whatever! The service in this hotel stinks!"
  • "My bedsheets are all wrinkly and creased, so I keep calling the front desk to have them changed."
  • "But they never seem to answer! It's like they can't even hear my voice!"
  • "Makes me wanna tear this whole room up again just to get some service!"
  • "My bedsheets are wrinkled! I swear–if they don't change them out, I'm gonna turn this room upside down again!"
  • "And then I'm gonna give this place a bad review online!"
  • "Really? Well, hurry up and change them before I have a chat with your manager!"
  • "Now, change 'em for the fresh ones!"
  • "Ahhhh... So smooth. So soft."
  • "Thanks a bunch for the sheets. All I wanted was to slide around on them for a minute."
  • "I would tip you but you took forever. Later!"
  • "My beautiful red bird has flown the coop!"
  • "My beautiful red bird has flown away..."
  • "It must've gotten sick of staying in this hideous color-drained cage..."
  • "Ah, you've fixed my birdcage! Thanks ever so much."
  • "Perhaps my red bird will come back home now."
  • "If you see my red bird around, please try to get it back in this cage."
  • "Ah, yes! My beautiful red bird! Thank you!"
  • "I'm afraid I've got an appointment for tea, so I really must be going!"
  • "We can't have a tea party without a teapot!"
  • "I NEED MAH TEA!"
  • "What's the holdup?!"
  • "What is the meaning of this?"
  • "Hurry! We need the teapot with purple flowers!"
  • "Where is our teapot?!"
  • "Would you care for some tea?"

Goomba[edit]

  • "Goomba power!"
  • "I'm small, but I won't give up!"
  • "I WILL AVENGE MY FAMILY!"
  • "I am a bit tired of being stomped."
  • "GOOM! I mean BOOM!"
  • "Ugh... I waited all day just to say that, and I totally blew it. Whatever. FIGHT ME!"
  • "If only I had said BOOM instead of GOOM..."
  • "You want some of this, pretty boy? I'll slap that mustache off your face!"
  • "I may be weak, but I'm... also slow."
  • "This is the third floor. Nosebleed section."
  • "Shh! I'm spying on these guys to get a few tips for my next battle. You want in?"
  • "You couldn't get me in that ring. Nope. When it's my time to go, I want to go out with dignity."
  • "Getting stomped by Mario or Luigi, of course."
  • "We're just simple country Goombas, here to watch some family-friendly paintshed."
  • "We're the Shai Guyz' first fans! We're predebut groupies! That's the highest level of groupie!"
  • "I may be weak, but I'm...also slow."
  • "I'm just a simple country Goomba..."
  • "I'll never give up!"
  • "Goombakalaka!"
  • "Locomotives belch out so much smoke! It makes it hard to see. Not to mention the environmental impact!"
  • "If you were to elect me, Goomba, as supreme leader, I would be more environmentally friendly than your current supreme leader. Just sayin'."

Green Energy Plant researcher[edit]

  • "Oh, ho, ho! Death Claw? Not to worry. That's just a Science Claw, friend!"
  • "I apologize for the grabby introduction, but this is the Green Energy Plant."
  • "I normally research alternative sources of renewable energy here, but ironically the power is out..."
  • "No power? Oh, at first glance I thought for sure you were some sort of robot."
  • "Well, I thought you were either a robot...or a can of cat food. Either way...it was a big win for me."
  • "Anyway, I used my last bit of power to grab you with this claw."
  • "Yes, that's exactly what happened! Only I haven't been able to reset it like usual."
  • "It was so strange. I saw something that appeared to be a shooting star..."
  • "It blasted through the window and went INTO this monitor somehow."
  • "After that, the breaker tripped and everything went dark."
  • "Oh, ho, ho! Of course not! Weren't you listening to anything I said? I don't have any power!"
  • "Of course, you're welcome to look around my laboratory a bit, if you think you can figure something out..."
  • "It would be fantastic if you could fix the power for me. My research awaits!"
  • "And...to be honest...I want to play with my Science Claw."
  • "That's the monitor I'm studying right now. I want to continue my research as soon as possible!"
  • "Guys! You did it! The electricity is back on!"
  • "Ah, yes! My latest experiment. I've been measuring brain activity in response to these ancient images."
  • "I can't make heads or tails of them, but they seem to make a lot of people quite happy."
  • "Isn't it fascinating how the images seem to scroll from side to side? And look at all of those platforms!"
  • "That shooting star came out all of a sudden! This must be one of those new high-def 3D monitors."
  • "Mario, with your help, I've finally solved all of the mysteries contained within this monitor!"
  • "Of course, I'm a little sad that I won't be staying up all night researching anymore..."
  • "But perhaps there are more bleepy bloopy mysteries out there in the universe. Perhaps life itself is one big bleepy bloopy mystery..."

Greenie[edit]

  • "I ran into this Shy Guy, and at first I was like, fine, whatever, no big deal, just a Shy Guy. But then he whipped out a straw!"
  • "I thought he'd leave me alone if I pretended to be a tree. You know, my standard go-to move. But he figured me out somehow!"
  • "Guess I still can't act my way out of a paper bag... Anyway, later!"
  • "'Sup, Toadz!"
  • "Man, Piper was such a solid dude. He'd always do the stuff that no one else wanted to do."
  • "Remember the school play? No one wanted to play the role of the down-on-his-luck potted plant, but Piper was all like, "I'll do it.""
  • "And he was absolutely AMAZING! Everyone totally thought he was a real plant!"
  • "I still don't know how he got all those butterflies to land on him. I guess method acting really works..."
  • "Bloo! I didn't know you were coming!"
  • "WHAT?!"
  • "NOOO! That can't be true! Piper..."
  • "PIPER!"
  • "Oh no! Piper!"

Guide Toad[edit]

  • "Ahoy there, Mario! I'm your friendly neighborhood Guide Toad! Did you know you can open up a map of Port Prisma by touching ? on the GamePad? And I'm pretty good with directions, so maybe I can help you find something."
  • "Ahoy, Mario! Looking for anything in particular around Port Prisma today?"
  • "Ahoy, Mario! Good news! I have taken a refresher course on the harbor district and can now offer you a full report. So, how can I help you today?"
  • "Ahoy, Mario! Important news! I have some new information regarding the yellow district. I hope you find it helpful! So, how can I help you today?"
  • "In the blue district, you'll find a card shop, for all your Battle Card needs. The blue district is also home to the Port Prisma Post Office. And don't forget the Prisma Café. Their fare is downright rejuvenative! From here, head ← to reach the blue district."
  • "Our own kung-fu-watching Action Toad lives there in his fragrant Action Command Dojo. And you can visit the Prisma Museum in the yellow district, too. From here, head → to reach the yellow district."
  • "Let's see...in the yellow district, you'll find the Rescue Squad HQ. And our own kung-fu-watching Action Toad lives there in his fragrant Action Command Dojo. From here, head → to reach the yellow district."
  • "Let's see...in the yellow district, you'll find the Rescue Squad HQ. Our own kung-fu-watching Action Toad lives there in his fragrant Action Command Dojo. And you can visit the Prisma Museum in the yellow district, too. From here, head → to reach the yellow district."

  • "Yes, the harbor district. Some prime real estate there! Well, you'll find the Wringer down there, of course. And there's a Toad there who can tell you about any Thing. From here, head ↓ to reach the harbor district."
  • "Would you like to hear about another area?"
  • "Very well. Take care!"

Hammer Bro[edit]

  • "Bring down the hammer!"
  • "Hit it!"
  • "Need a general contractor?"
  • "It's always gotta be the boomerang. Why can't we ever toss the ol' hammer around?"
  • "Oh... right."

Host Snifit[edit]

  • "Let's get ready to play..."
  • "Snifit or..."
  • "Whiffit!!"
  • "That's right, folks! It's that time once again!"
  • "I'm your host, Snifit."
  • "And our contestant today is... Why, if it isn't our old friend Mario!"
  • "He's back for more! Today's contestant is our old friend...Mario!"
  • "Now, would you like to hear the rules?"
  • "There are seven rounds. Win at least four of the rounds, and you'll win the grand prize: a Mini Paint Star! Win all seven rounds, and you'll be invited to participate in a special bonus round! Use the cards you have on hand to answer the questions. And don't forget to paint them! If you're not confident in your answer, you can always pass, but that'll count as an incorrect answer."
  • "And it appears that Mario here has purchased the Bonus Set from one of our... sponsors. That means we're headed straight to the bonus round! Answer all three questions correctly, and you'll walk out of here with a legendary prize! But one wrong answer and it's game over!"
  • "So are you ready to play?"
  • "Oh...OK. Well, that's disappointing. This audience has been waiting in the dark for hours, but whatever. You can go home now, I guess."
  • "Hm... Looks like you don't have enough cards. You need at least 21 cards for this quiz. Maybe you should've listened to that Blue Snifit at the entrance..."
  • "All righty. Please make your way to the contestant area!"
  • "Now let's get started!"
  • "Round [number]!"
  • "Spinning Card!"
  • "Identify the card that you see!"
  • "Kelp Cards!"
  • "We're going to show you three cards. You must identify all three!"
  • "Entwined Cards!"
  • "We're going to show you two cards. Identify both of them!"
  • "Paint That Card!"
  • "We're going to paint a card right in front of you. You'll need to choose the same card from your hand and then paint it the same amount we painted ours!"
  • "Card Roulette!"
  • "We're going to show you three cards. Identify all three of them!"
  • "Falling Cards!"
  • "We're going to show you three cards. Identify all three!"
  • "Card Recall!"
  • "First, we'll show you four cards. Remember all of them!"
  • "Now, tell us which card disappeared!"
  • "Now, please answer using the cards you have in your hand!"
  • "Let's see how you did."
  • "So far, so good!"
  • "Every time you lose a round, the Urchin's razor-sharp spikes inch a bit closer to that bubble you're in."
  • "So far, so good!"
  • "Congratulations. That's three correct now! Just one more to clear!"
  • "Congratulations! That's four right answers in a row with no misses! You've already secured your prize, but keep going and try to get every question right for a shot at that legendary prize!"
  • "Congratulations! You've won four rounds and have secured your prize! Now, you didn't complete a perfect game today, but there's always next time. Come back on the show, complete a perfect game, and secure your place in Snifit or Whiffit history. You'll win a sweet prize, too!"
  • "What a shame! You didn't manage to win every round, but you got at least four right, making you our newest Snifit or Whiffit champion! Next time, try for a perfect game and a shot at our bonus round! Win the bonus round, and you'll secure your place in Snifit or Whiffit history! Not to mention the legendary prize you'll receive!"
  • "Incredible! You've won all six rounds so far!"
  • "Here we go. Our seventh round. Get this one right, and you'll earn the right to try the bonus round! Good luck!"
  • "Congratulations! You bested all seven rounds!"
  • "Well, Mr. Perfect. You've earned the right to challenge the bonus round."
  • "Get all three questions correct, and you'll receive an extravagant legendary prize you can't find anywhere else! But get even one wrong, and it's an instant game over and your save file will be erased forever!"
  • "Just kidding! But seriously, if you get one wrong, it'll be game over and you won't get credit for clearing the other rounds. You in?"
  • "Well, that's a crying shame. Next time try to make it to the bonus round for a chance at the legendary prize! I guess becoming our newest champion—and, you know, not dying—will have to suffice for now."
  • "Of course you are! Here we go!"
  • "You're running low on paint. Want to buy some for 100 coins?"
  • "Fill 'er up!"
  • "Is that so? What a shame."
  • "Hmm... You don't have enough coins! What a terrible shame!"
  • "Oooh. That's a shame."
  • "You see, Mario, you're not just playing for the enjoyment of our studio audience and millions around the world... You're playing for your life. Looming above you is a bona fide, spike-covered Urchin. Every time you lose a round, the Urchin's razor-sharp spikes inch a bit closer to that bubble you're in. Sorry about that... It really helps our ratings!"
  • "Ooooh... You whiffed it. Well, good-bye, Mario!"
  • "You still want to continue, don't you?"
  • "Oooh, Mario. Unfortunately you've now failed three rounds. If you get the next one wrong, our Urchin friend here might get a little too close for comfort, and it'll be game over. Do you want to keep going?"
  • "Oooh, Mario. Unfortunately you've now failed three rounds. Perhaps you should've prepared a little better. If only there was someone willing to sell you all the cards you needed before playing! If you get the next one wrong, our Urchin friend here may get a bit too close for comfort, and it'll be lights out. Do you want to keep going?"
  • "What a champ! Our next round is..."
  • "You got it, big man! Good luck!"
  • "If you forfeit the game, you're signing your own game-over warrant. You sure about that, slugger?"
  • "Welp... Good-bye!"
  • "Mario, you passed on that round, which will count as a wrong answer."
  • "Mario, you passed on that round, which will count as a wrong answer. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's four failures, meaning you are NOT our newest Snifit or Whiffit champion. Take it away, Urchy!"
  • "Bonus Round - Part [number]!"
  • "Falling Cards 2!"
  • "We're going to show you three cards. Try to identify all three! Good luck!"
  • "Kelp Cards 2!"
  • "We're going to show you three cards. Try to identify all three! Good luck!"
  • "Card Recall 2!"
  • "First, we'll show you three cards. Try to remember EVERYTHING about the following scene."
  • "OK, which card was the Blooper holding?"
  • "OK, which card was the Cheep Cheep holding?"
  • "OK, which card was the Snifit holding?"
  • "Great work. Let's keep it going!"
  • "This is it, folks! The final question of the bonus round!"
  • "Incredible! You cleared the bonus round! Congratulations, Mario! You are our newest Snifit or Whiffit champion! Now go and claim your legendary prize!"
  • "Until we meet again, Mario. And for all you watching at home, we'll see you next time on..."
  • "Snifit or..."
  • "Whifit!!"
  • "OUCH. You whiffed it! Unfortunately, the bonus round is one and done. Sorry to burst your bubble!"
  • "Mario, you passed on that question, which will count as a wrong answer. Unfortunately, the bonus round is one and done, son! In other words—buh-bye!"

  • "Don't hesitate to light the Justice signal if you're in need of help! Nothing lies beyond the reach of the long arm of JUSTICE!"
  • "If you ever need help with anything, don't hesitate to call on me! Nothing lies beyond the reach of the long arm of JUSTICE!"
  • "Whaaaaat?! Someone actually wants my help? *ahem* I mean... Sounds like a job for Justice Toad! Let's go!"
  • "You need some help with this star, right? It certainly is a little far out there... But don't worry! This star is no match for the power of JUSTICE!"
  • "Stand back!"
  • "JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSTICE!"
  • "Whoa! I ACTUALLY DID IT!"
  • "I mean, I wished real hard, but I didn't think I actually had superpowers!"
  • "So... I... I really AM a hero! Yeah–a crazy-powerful person!"
  • "Thanks for helping me discover my true power. I promise to use it to uphold JUSTICE throughout the land!"
  • "Until then, I guess I'll wait here until someone needs my help."
  • "If you ever need help with anything, don't hesitate to call on me! Nothing lies beyond the reach of the long arm of JUSTICE!"
  • "The Crimson Tower, huh? It's close enough to walk, but scrap that! I've got superpowers now! Justice take flight!"
  • "OPEN, GATE! FOR JUSTICE DEMANDS IT! ...Nothing? Sorry, I think we're gonna need at least three super Toads for this one."
  • "It's time to fulfill our destiny..."
  • "Hey, Mario. Think you could give us a little... oomph? Like some... KAPOW! You know what I mean?"
  • "C'mon, Mario! Kapow me! For Justice!"
  • "JUSTICE!"
  • "Take care! I hope you find the Big Paint Star... for justice! Go get that Big Paint Star!"
  • "There are still five Big Paint Stars left. You've got a long way to go, but justice is on your side!"
  • "That means there's just four Big Paint Stars left. Good luck, Mario!"
  • "But unfortunately we can't help you find those last three Big Paint Stars. You know, because our fates are forever sealed in this itchy door. But we're all heroes in our own way. Go find those Paint Stars, Mario! FOR JUSTICE! Ugh... If I ever get out of here, I'm gonna use my powers to come up with a special move that'll one-shot any bad dude on the planet! Although, by the time Mario's done, there might not be any bad dudes left. Save some for me!"
  • "Just two Big Paint Stars to go. May justice be with you! Did Yellow fall asleep? Or is this the final level of meditation? He looks so peaceful."
  • "Just that green Big Paint Star left to find! Go get it!"
  • "We'll all be cheering you on from here! Go restore peace and justice to Prism Island! Maybe then we'll be able to get out of this gate for a little bit..."

Kamek[edit]

  • "Ah, Mario! I didn't expect to see YOU here."
  • "I'd love to stick around and sweep the floor with you, but I've got places to be, lives to ruin. You know how it is for us big wigs."
  • "But I suppose I could leave you with a little taste of my Koopa magicks..."
  • "Oh, you sad little Goomba..."
  • "Let's make you a sad HUGE Goomba! Eheeheehee!"
  • "Ah, Mario! Fancy meeting you here!"
  • "I've heard much about your exploits. Searching for the Big Paint Stars. Journeying here and there."
  • "Lord Bowser went through the trouble of scattering the Paint Stars, and you're undoing his hard work!"
  • "In other words... you're being Mario."
  • "You may have bested us before, but this time will be different."
  • "You'll leave this battle looking like a pile of confetti! Confetti in a parade honoring our fearless Koopa King!"
  • "I've sized you up, Mario! But my magicks may size you down! Eheeheehee!"
  • "Oh goodness. Big words for such a little can."
  • "But... with Mario here I must take every precaution."
  • "Prepare yourself for the fury of the Koopa magicks!"
  • "Kickety kaw, kickety koo! Make Mario the size of a shrew!"
  • "Eheeheehee! It's itsy-bitsy wittle Mawio! Let's see you stomp some Goombas now, you greedy little coin snatcher! True power needs not material wealth!"
  • "Lippety lap, lappet licks! Trim your hand right down to six!"
  • "Paralyzed by choice, are we? Allow me to help. Eheeheehee! And you're never getting your other cards back! ...Well, unless you win the fight."
  • "Tickety tatch, tickety twos! All of your cards are crummy shoes!"
  • "Koopatee kaw, koopatee konn! Where's your hand? Opps—it's gone!"
  • "Oh, you didn't want those cards, did you? You can always pay for a Battle Spin! Cross your fingers for a good card. Eheeheehee!"
  • "Huh? NO! But how...?! I was so busy tormenting Mario that I failed to realize my color has drained completely! Which means... The words I'm now speaking are my last! Quick, Kamek, say something profound! Uh... Did I lock my front door this morning? GAH! NO! Curse you, Mario! With my last ounce of power, I'll trap you in this forest...forever! I'm going to make you so big, you'll never fit in a pipe again, plumber boy! Eheeheehee!"
  • "Oh... I guess I only had enough power left to turn you back to normal size. Shoot..."
  • "My power... Drained. My once striking visage... So pale and colorless..."
  • "Like a bleached Boo riding a beached Blooper. Say THAT 10 times fast!"
  • "Bah... You could probably do it anyway. You're one tough cookie, Mario."
  • "My Koopa magicks, which were once called "a veritable all-you-can-eat buffet of chaos" by the Prisma Times, were not enough to stop you."
  • "I admit defeat. You've earned my respect all over again. Here, you deserve this... more than I. *cough*"

Koopa Paratroopa[edit]

  • "Nyah, nyah! Can't get me!"
  • "The ground is for suckers."
  • "Why walk when you can fly?"
  • "Hammers can't hurt me up here!"
  • "I'm, like, a regular Koopa Troopa..."
  • "Broken wings, broken heart..."
  • "No! I've been grounded!"
  • "I'm a shell of my former self."
  • "Mind helpin' a guy out here?"
  • "I'm done for..."
  • "I ain't no stinkin' boid."
  • "Roger, Your Evilness!"
  • "Koopa Paratroopa 2nd Division, reporting for battle! We're in position, sir!"
  • "Seize Mario!"
  • "Don't panic, guys!"
  • "Don't mess up our formation!"
  • "Executing orders!"

Koopa Troopa[edit]

  • "I'm a Koopa Troopa. Deal with it."
  • "Don't you dare kick my shell!"
  • "I can't do much from inside my shell."
  • "You step on me? I hide, bro!"
  • "I'm in my shell, biding my time."
  • "In your face!"
  • "This isn't good..."
  • "Gah! Everything's upside down!"
  • "Didja hear? The winner of the big Battle Royal is gettin' some fancy star thing!"
  • "I heard they're still waiting for the sacrificial lamb. Heh..."
  • "Supposed to be a some guy named Mario. Never heard of him."
  • "Ugh... I hope they do well in the Battle Royal... My self-esteem is entirely based on them!"
  • "No bone? No problem. I got a shell!"
  • "Here I go!"
  • "Who's the special guest?"
  • "One step at a time..."
  • "Ooh, so this is "it," huh? A-amazing!"
  • "Mario! Where'd you come from?! Don't tell me you're after "it" too?!"
  • "Wait just one minute!"
  • "My best Sunday shell was in that washing machine!"
  • "I won't use the gentle cycle on you!"
  • "What did that washer do to you?"
  • "Dry clean only?!"
  • "Now I have to rewear this gross shell."
  • "One day I'll settle down–maybe near a pond–have a couple of kids, and kiss this fool's life good-bye."

Larry Koopa[edit]

  • "HEY!"
  • "How long are you plannin' on making us wait? We're starving over here!"
  • "...Crumpled body? Two to four weeks to recover? Well, get someone else to make the food!"
  • "I swear I can hear Toads eating pizza out there. Who made THAT? And why can't they cook for ME?"
  • "Are you the guy who made that pizza I can hear everybody eating?"
  • "You are, aren't you! Well, why are you wasting your time here? Get in the kitchen, and make me something delicious!"
  • "Here's a little something to help you get started. Heh..."
  • "What's this?"
  • "It's too tender and it's too raw."
  • "It looks like meat; that's all I can give you. I can't eat this scrap."
  • "Is it supposed to be burned like this?"
  • "Or were you hoping I wouldn't notice that it's…completely charred?"
  • "I really want to chastise you... but I'm simply too weak from hunger."
  • "It's raw! The meat is raw! You think I'm some wild, uncivilized animal or something?!"
  • "GET OUT OF HERE! You offend me..."
  • "Do you call this meat? I've tasted shoe leather that was way tender than this! This clearly was not prepared for long enough!"
  • "Ah! You used something…odd during preparation, didn't you?"
  • "What kind of chef doesn't use the proper tools to craft a meal?!"
  • "Hrm…this taste is reminiscent of…cardboard."
  • "You've somehow created the most bland dish I've ever tasted! No salt, no pepper, no nothing!"
  • "Awful."
  • "The meat has barely been cooked! It’s as raw as a freshly plucked baby carrot! And I HATE carrots!"
  • "WHAT SORT OF... Oh, I can't even finish my sentence. This is terrible!"
  • "My whole mouth tastes like a replica!"
  • "Seems like the full flavor hasn't quite sunk in here. Did you add the seasoning at the wrong time in the process?"
  • "Hmm…the sour flavor is there, but it's missing a certain pop. Perhaps it didn't set in correctly. Your timing with the seasoning was off."
  • "Almost! But not quite! It's missing a flavor. One flavor."
  • "It's lacking some kind of sour, fresh flavor. Do you know what I mean?"
  • "You did something extra after you grilled the meat, didn't you? I can tell; I'm a supertaster, you know."
  • "I'm going to give you one more chance. If you mess it up again, don't think I won't... think of something to do! Because I will!"
  • "Bon appetit!"
  • "Oooh!"
  • "Th-Th-This is the best steak I've ever eaten!"
  • "You really are a very talented chef! This flavor is so unique!"
  • "I'll officially recognize this place as one of my favorite one and a half star restaurants!"
  • "And I'll leave this here."
  • "Took you long enough, pal… I’m almost done digesting that giant steak I ate. *BELCH*"
  • "You grill a mean steak, Mario. You should have been a chef! At least that way, you would’ve had a nice long culinary experience. But instead, I’m gonna cook you up a tuna-fist sandwich before we get to Starlight Cape!"
  • "Lord Bowser is expecting the Big Paint Star, and I have no intention of disappointing him. Have you even seen his disappointed face? It’s heartbreaking! Enough small talk. Let’s get this over with."
  • "Ahaaaaaaaaa! I love the smell of impending doom! It was my henchmen who hijacked this train, and it’ll be my henchmen who…keep the train, uh…hijacked."
  • "Well, well, that's one cheeky Toad! Why can't he embrace his inner coward like all his friends? Crush that dirty Toad!"
  • "Amateurs…"
  • "Minions! Crush them!"
  • "Agh! Stupid Toad!"
  • "If you love engines so much, then why don’t you marry this smoke!"
  • "Well, that was fun, but I'm bored. Thanks for playing, loser!"
  • "Was that a Replica just now? Tacky, Mario. I expected more."
  • "You stopped up my smokestack, you little pest!"
  • "I haven’t lost yet!"
  • "WHAT…?! No! This can’t be… I… I lost! I can’t ever face Lord Bowser again! I’ll have to go on the lam. No, maybe I’ll go on the lamb… Lamb chops sound pretty good righ-"

Laundry Guy[edit]

  • "Today is a perfect day for doing laundry. I chucked in all the dirty stuff that's been piling up lately."
  • "How dare you wring that out! It was right in the middle of the spin cycle!"
  • "Now what am I gonna wear?"
  • "AND I left my wallet in my jeans!"
  • "I was doing laundry!"
  • "This is a great article...of clothing."

Legendary captain[edit]

  • "Ahoy! Were you drawn here by this oh-so-delicious aroma?"
  • "Well, keep your boots on–it'll be ready in a minute!"
  • "I said keep yer boots on! It'll be done when it's done!"
  • "How dare you wring out my grill! It was almost medium rare, too..."
  • "You done messed up, boy! There's no fury like a hungry-captain fury!"
  • "I'm gonna follow you around all passive-aggressively until you're mildly annoyed!"
  • "I'd been sittin' there savoring that sweet smoky scent for hours... and you had to go and ruin it!"
  • "So I'm gonna stick to you like a bad rash until you make it up to me somehow."
  • "There's no fury like hungry-captain fury! You annoyed yet, boy?!"
  • "Is that another Toad over there? It's been so long since I've seen another Toad, I almost forgot what we look like."
  • "Oi, Toad! Come over here! I don't have any barbecue to offer you on account o' this plumber guy here, but..."
  • "That's right, bub. I have absolutely no idea why I'm on this here island. By the way, I really like your garb, but... it looks a little familiar. Are you copying me, mate?"
  • "Meeting another Toad after such a long time is a breath o' fresh air. So while I haven't FORGOTTEN about the grill incident, I'll let it go fer now."
  • "Yes... about that. As I discovered long ago, the treasure of Fortune Island has already been claimed."
  • "Yeah... I remember everything. I crossed the Lost Sea... and the Violet Isles. I came alone to the island. Sure, I opened up a few treasure chests here and there, but most of 'me were empty."
  • "Aye, but the only REAL treasure in my view was that lovely grill."
  • "I conked my noggin pretty bad while explorin' that funny parallel world. Totally knocked myself out And when I came to, I was there in the parallel world, just fryin' up some fish."
  • "Anyway, the fish was pretty good. Nothing like a li'l amnesia to work up the ol' appetite, lemme tell ya!"
  • "Don't get down in the mouth now!"
  • "The sea is wide! The world is wide! There are incredible, undiscovered treasures waiting to be plundered! Go get yer hands salty in the sea, mate. You'll make a fine legend yet. C'mon. I'll show ya."
  • "Look, bub. If I'm going to teach you how to be a legendary captain, you're going to have to drop the terrible pirate accent."

Lemmy Koopa[edit]

  • "Thank you, thank you! It is I, Lemmy, the greatest and most humble illusionist in all the world! The things you’re about to see may shock you. They might astound you. But they’ll definitely impress you."
  • "SPOTLIGHT!"
  • "Now, the ringmaster here is just your average, garden-variety Shy Guy. Yes, you. Don’t look so surprised."
  • "Now feast your eyes on this! My magic wand! PHENOMENAL ARCANE POWER…in a slim and user-friendly stick! Now you see him…"
  • "What?! Where did he go? Did I vaporize him?!"
  • "You, sir! Have you seen him?"
  • "Thank you, thank you! You’re easily entertained. And now…"
  • "That’s right! (That’s EXACTLY right!) It’s a shiny green Big Paint Star! Now, watch closely!"
  • "Heeheekee! Now, wherever could the Big Paint Star have gone?"
  • "You, there! With the ridiculous moustache and the rusty can. Where do you think that extra-special Big Paint Star ran off to? You didn’t need that, did you? Heeheekeeeeeeeeee!"
  • "Well done! It seems I’ve been caught."
  • "For some reason, my magic wand doesn’t have any effect on the Paint Star. So the only way I could make it disappear was to employ a little…sleight of hand. But no matter - the point of this circus wasn’t to show off my magical prowess. The point was to steal the Paint Star and embarrass you in front of a giant crowd at the same time! And now it’s time for the grand finale! Heeheekee!"
  • "You're back! Such tenacity. Oooh, yes. I like you! Come now - the show must go on!"
  • "This is it! The moment you’ve all been waiting for. The FINAL performance of Mario’s career!"
  • "Now you see it! Now you don’t!"
  • "Bye-bye, card! Surprised ya, huh? APPLAUSE!"
  • "Oooh! Nicely done! APPLAUSE!"
  • "Thing Cards?! What is this, baby’s first battle? APPLAUSE!"
  • "The show is in full swing. It’s almost time for the grand finale!"
  • "Yes! My magic wand can transform into a magic ball. A Wonder Ball! Yes, yes! Clap for the Wonder Ball!"
  • "That Disco Ball Replica is sooooo last decade! Can't really get into it!"
  • "A discotheque with a Disco Ball! The groove…is too much to bear! I’VE GOT TO BOOGIE!"
  • "That Ice Pick Replica looks like it's from the bargain bin!"
  • "Ooooh, you sly dog! How am I supposed to defend myself when I'm getting down? Ya dig? And now for the grand finale!"
  • "My Wonder Ball deftly avoids your pathetic attack. APPLAUSE!"
  • "Here it comes--the grand finale!"
  • "This is it! Wonder Ballistic! Eheeheekee! Go ahead and struggle! It adds to the drama of it all!"
  • "NOOO! You popped my Wonder Ball! Do you even know what that thing retails for?!"
  • "Heeheekeeeee… You’re really fired up tonight, Mario. You must’ve really enjoyed the show. I admit defeat. A spectacular defeat! There’s more drama in defeat anyway. Victory is soooo overdone. And…scene."

Lighthouse Keeper[edit]

  • "Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa... Welcome to the lighthouse, bro. I'm the lighthouse keeper."
  • "I wanna illuminate the darkness and all, but the light won't work... 'cause there's no power... or something. I dunno. I'm not an electramatrician, bro."
  • "This darkness is really getting to me. It's, like, extinguishing the light in my heart... and stuff."
  • "Whoaaaaa, bros... You'd do that for me? Well, lemme help you out in turn. I'm about to BLOW YOUR MINDS. I'll introduce you to... wait for it... the PARALLEL WORLD!"
  • "Oh... You already know about it... Well, yeah... the funky pipe leads to a parallel universe."
  • "But be careful in there. It's not the friendliest place."
  • "When you make your way out of the lighthouse, I'll be waiting for you across the waterfall."
  • "The lighthouse... is still dark... and junk."
  • "YEAH, BABY!"
  • "Aww, yeah. This is more like it. Thanks a milli, bro!"
  • "Bro! Long time, no see!"
  • "I let my boys know that you're good to visit the parallel world."
  • "And thanks for helping me with the lighthouse and junk. Good luck."

Ludwig von Koopa[edit]

  • "Gwehehe!"
  • "I’ve been waiting, Mario! I designed this weapon specifically for you. I think you’re gonna LOVE it. Gaze upon its glory! Cower in fear of its might!"
  • "Gwehehehe! My new anti-Mario weapon! Ludwig’s Megabad Super Battleship of Dooooooooooom! But its friends call it the Super Ludship! What do you think? Isn’t it FIERCE?"
  • "But you did show up a little, uh, earlier than I anticipated, so we had to cut production a bit…short."
  • "You’re right. I do have the blue Big Paint Star. But I’m not just going to let you take it… If you really want it, you’ll have to get through me and my Super Ludship! Come at me!"
  • "The first movement begins! I hope you enjoy my Cannon in Sea Major!"
  • "Target: Mario! Fire!"
  • "Ho ho! A counterattack, eh? Aren’t we doing well? Prepare tactical auxiliary forward-mounted attack units! Oh, you know what I mean. Queue the dang Koopa Paratroopas!"
  • "Gwehehe! You think your puny attack is going to damage my Super Ludship?"
  • "Grrrreh! My ship has taken serious damage! Don’t think I’m going to let it happen again! BOMBERS! Do your stinking jobs!"
  • "Gyaaahhh! She’s going down!"
  • "Gwehehe! This was my plan all along! The Ludship was just a temporary design! Say hello to the flagship of my fleet: the Super Ludsub! Go ahead - just try to attack it. Gwehehe!"
  • "Gwehehe! Bust out the streamers and blow up the balloons - it’s time to celebrate your demise!"
  • "Gwehehe! Get that Replica garbage out of here!"
  • "This will LIFT your spirits: I'm going to end this battle next turn... BY BLASTING YOU INTO CONFETTI!"
  • "You put up quite a fight, but I'm afraid I must bid you adieu. Here comes my final attack... Meteor Missile Storm!"
  • "Super Ludsub, dive! Huh? Dive! DIVE! Why won’t you dive?!"
  • "You wrecked my Super Ludsub! HOW DARE YOU!"
  • "Mario… The world-famous Super Mario… I wanted to fight you, if not only once. That’s why I lured you in here with the Big Paint Star. But it looks like I underestimated you. I admit defeat. Even now, I’m glad that I got to trade blows with you. I guess I’ll just have to hope Lord Bowser can defeat you… Good-bye."

Luigi[edit]

  • "Mario! It's-a me!"
  • "I don't know how it happened, but some green paint fell out of the sky and repainted my kart!"
  • "Let's-a race down Rainbow Road and save Peach!"
  • "Okeydokey! You-a ready?"
  • "Yes! Here we gooooo!"
  • "Well, it sounds like you've been on quite an adventure without me, Bro!"
  • "But at least I can help you out a little a-bit with the driving, Princess-a Peach-a here we come!"
  • "We're getting a-close... to something."
  • "MAMMA MIA! It leads to a giant creepy rock in the sky!"
  • "But we can't stop a-now! You guys have worked way too hard for me to chicken out here!"
  • "Hold on! I'm-a gonna floor it! Hopefully we won't fall off the road. Lakitu's not a-here to save us!"
  • "Phew! We made it."
  • "You guys be-a careful in there, OK? I'll... I'll just wait here. You know. In case you need a ride back."
  • "Mario! Peach! Huey!"
  • "I wasn't sure you guys were gonna make it!"
  • "Get on the kart! We're a-getting out of here!"
  • "Peach, you're first. Hurry!"
  • "I think he's-a right, Bro. Trust me-I've fallen off Rainbow Road more times than I can count."
  • "It's a-now or never!"

Mega Goomba[edit]

  • "PRETTY BIG, RIGHT?"
  • "I LOOK DOWN ON YOU!"

Morton Koopa Jr.[edit]

  • "MORTON! WHY MORTON HERE?"
  • "OH YEAH! DA BIGGUN! BIG OL' PAIN STAR! NEED FIND BIG PAIN STAR!"
  • "FIND RIGHT NOW, AND FASTLY!"
  • "AH!"
  • "HELLO!"
  • "BIG LARGE PAIN STAR!"
  • "ME MORTON!"
  • "MARIO?"
  • "MARIO!!"
  • "NO PAIN STAR FOR DA MARIO!"
  • "MORTON FIND PAIN STAR!"
  • "BAD MARIO FIND PAIN STAR! BUT MORTON FIND IT MORE! MORE MORTON'S! MORE TONS! MORTON CRUSH MARIO!"
  • "MORTON STRONG! MORTON MORE TONS!"
  • "BRING ME PEDAL STOOL!"
  • "MORTON ON PEDAL STOOL! LOOK NOW! MORTON SAFE HERE!"
  • "HIGH PLACE BROKE... LOW PLACE SCARY."
  • "MORTON IS FIRED!"
  • "HOT MALLET!"
  • "REPLICA TOO PUNY!"
  • "FIRE... BROKEN? MALLET GONE... JUST STICK..."
  • "EAT STICK!!"
  • "MORTON... MORTON LOSE. BAD MARIO GET PAIN STAR... MASTER ORDER MORTON... SAY GO GET PAIN STAR... MORTON? MORE LIKE... LESTON."

Mountain Sage[edit]

  • "Welcome to Daffodil Peak, home of the legendary Mountain Sage."
  • "Cool idea, but you'll need a climbing permit before I let you climb the mountain."
  • "Head through the gate on your right, and buy a permit from the park ranger. You'll find him in his cabin. Here, I'll open the gate."
  • "I can't let you climb Daffodil Peak until you get a climbing permit. Head through this little gate to your right, and get one from the park ranger's cabin."
  • "If you want a climbing permit, head through the gate to your right and talk to the ranger in his cabin."
  • "Ah, you got a climbing permit. I'm a bit surprised you got one, considering the park ranger has been rather down in the dumps."
  • "Anyway, let me start my spiel over. Helps me remember my lines. *ahem*"
  • "Welcome to Daffodil Peak, home of the legendary Mountain Sage! You'll find the sage at the peak of the mountain."
  • "All right, I'll open the mountain path."
  • "Have a good climb, Mario."
  • "Whoa! Whoa! Keep your lid on!"
  • "The Mountain Sage isn't real? I'm as disappointed as you are..."
  • "Yes, I believed in my heart of hearts that the Mountain Sage was real."
  • "Though I can't remember why I was so convinced..."
  • "Come to think of it, I can't remember anything before accepting this gatekeeper job."
  • "The last thing I remember is the park ranger bringing me here after finding me stranded on the mountaintop."
  • "And it was the ranger who said the Mountain Sage was real! Do you think he lied to us?"
  • "I wonder what happened to the mountain sage. My mind's a complete blank. I've got no idea!"
  • "Eureka... I remember everything. The color missing from my head must have damaged my memory."
  • "I am one of the Chosen Toads, the divine few imbued with great power. I spend my days training on the mountaintop, waiting for my destiny to take shape. Yes, I am the sage of the mountain."
  • "Good question, young one."
  • "BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE CHOSEN!"
  • "Usually we Chosen Toads aren't meant to use our power for such savagery. But I have some aggression to work out today... They must have snuck up and drained my head while I was meditating, the miscreants."
  • "The world is vast, young one, and I am but a Toad. But, it is a Chosen Toad's duty to serve those in need. I've no doubt that I'll be able to aid you in some manner, when the time is right. If you find yourself up against a wall, rest assured that the Chosen Toads hold the key to getting beyond it."
  • "The world is vast, young one, and I am but a Toad. I've seen no such Paint Stars, but it is a Chosen Toad's duty to serve those in need. Our paths have crossed for a reason. There's no doubt about that. Perhaps I am the key to unlocking your true potential..."
  • "No... it turns out I'm just the key to unlock some random door. Well... OK, I guess."
  • "I have foreseen it, young one... If the tower gate impedes thee, the Chosen Toads hold the key."
  • "I have foreseen it, young one... If the tower gate impedes thee, the Chosen Toads hold the key. ...Or something like that."
  • "I'll meet you at the Crimson Tower, young one."
  • "There's no need to rush, young one. All of the Chosen Toads' paths end here. So it is written."
  • "The three Chosen Toads hath assembled."
  • "But... it is written! In the book of hitting things with hammers!"
  • "I am but a nail in the 2x4 of fate."
  • "OMMMMM!"
  • "Go make your fate in the Crimson Tower, young ones! The Crimson Tower awaits..."
  • "The red Big Paint Star was yours all along."
  • "The yellow Paint Star thanks you, young one."
  • "Well done rescuing the blue Paint Star, my child. We may be stuck here for all eternity while you gallivant around, reaping the rewards of our sacrifice, but we're... not... bitter."
  • "But do we ever truly hold anything? In this world, one must let go of everything to have anything."
  • "That must mean all of the Big Paint Stars are finally back. Nice work, young one. Time to follow the road of rainbows and fulfill your destiny."

Mustard Café chef[edit]

  • "Aw, yeah... that's the stuff... You don't have to, like, rescue anyone right now, do you? 'Cause I don't want this to stop. Ever."
  • "'Sup, Mario. Look, I appreciate you coming all the way down here, but I don't have a table for you, OK? If you don't mind sitting at the bar, I can mayyyybe squeeze you in. In three years."
  • "What can I say? The Mustard Café is on fire right now. We're hotter than the star I stole from the sky, you know?"
  • "Nah, man. If I make an exception for Mario, then everyone's gonna want one. What's next? Table for Luigi, party of four? Not in this lifetime, baby! Besides, I've got a deep-tissue Thwomp massage scheduled today. Mmm..."
  • "Look, man. I'm on vacation. And, no, I don't sign autographs."
  • "Yo! Not cool, bro. Not cool."
  • "Nice, nice. This ain't gettin' you in any earlier. You know that, right?"
  • "Mario! My man. It's me, the chef. There are, like, way too many Pokeys around here. You can come over here and chill with me for a little bit, though."
  • "Bro, I'm willing to share my Pokey-proof parasol, and you're just gonna bail? C'mon, man."
  • "Oh, hey. Did you have a reservation for my private parasol paradise? I'm just messin' with you, man. You can chill here with me for a bit. This thing has room for two."
  • "Three's a crowd, yo! Look what you did to the parasol!"
  • "Thanks for the help. I guess. I mean, I was floating kinda peacefully all by myself. But thanks for rescuing me after you ruined everything."
  • "I was getting bored in there anyway. Figured it was about time to go back and check out the café. You wanna come with? I got the key right here. Wouldn't let this thing outta my sight, you know?"
  • "You're on the waiting list, aren't you? A few years down the line? Well, I got a proposition for you: you get me outta this pit, and I'll seat you right away."
  • "That's A-list, my friend. Higher than A-list. Nobody gets a same-day seat in MY café. Except you. I'll even get you a prime seat next to that fancy star. You with me?"
  • "Listen to the paint can, yo. We can help each other out here."
  • "I should probably get back to the café soon. Peeps need their coffee."
  • "Whoa, man. I'm not trying to walk across those skinny little pipes right now! I'm allergic to Pokeys, yo. Break out in hives if I get too close. I'm just gonna wait here for you, all right? Do your thing."
  • "Yo, this is the express pipe. I'm just gonna wait here until you fix it."
  • "I told you, man! I'm not taking a regular old pipe like some regular old dude! It's express or nothing for me, baby."
  • "Aw, yeah. Now that's how you use a pipe, yo! Easy slidin'."
  • "Oh no. That did NOT just happen. Mario! Don't ditch me, yo! I'm gonna be stuck down here foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
  • "NO! I can't live in this hole for the rest of my life... I'm doomed..."
  • "Oh. You're back. I knew you were coming back."
  • "I knew this thing was messed up."
  • "What?! Not again! NOOOOOOO! I'M ALONE IN THE WORLD!"
  • "Yo, you have to stop doing that! I can't take it anymore!"
  • "Yo, check that pipe!"
  • "That's a VIP pipe, if I've ever seen one. And it's orange, just like the one in front of Mustard Café. I bet it'll take us straight to the café. Let's hit it."
  • "Not cool! HEEEEEEELP!"
  • "Let me out of here, yo! Don't you know who I am?!"
  • "I'm just a poor Toad. Don't hurt me! Actually, scratch that. I'm rich. Loaded! How many gold coins to get me out of this?"
  • "'Sup, Mario. This place isn't too bad."
  • "Oh MAN! You didn't even bring the key? That's it... Reservation canceled! Wake me up when you get your stuff together, yo."
  • "I was actually enjoying the peace and quiet, you know? But I guess it's time to get back to the grind. Peace out, jail."
  • "Dang, you even brought the key to my café and everything? You're on point, my man! You need a job? When all of this is over, I could use a dude like you in my kitchen."
  • "Yo, that's my key! These cats were trying to get into my place without a reservation!"
  • "Can you hold on to that thing for me? I can't believe I lost it in the first place. Don't trust myself now."
  • "You're the best, man. You need a job? I could use a man like you watching the door."
  • "That was disgusting, yo! Who's in charge of cleaning these thing, anyway?"
  • "Ahh, that fresh air. Nothing like a little dungeon time to help you appreciate the little things."
  • "Come on–let's head back to the café. Bet I've got quite a line going..."
  • "You're not coming with? All right, I'll see ya when I see ya. Stop by my café anytime, Mario."
  • "Hey, the lock takes a special touch. Dish me back that key, and I'll have us in there with the quickness."
  • "You're back? All right, my man. You're welcome here anytime."
  • "Because I'm feeling charitable... we're open! First come, first served!"
  • "Now, the moment you've all been waiting for..."
  • "And for you, Mario... Feast your eyes on THIS!"
  • "Here comes my signature, yo. The chef's famous orange star. Drink it in, y'all."
  • "Boom. Told you it was cool."
  • "All right, y'all. It's the moment you've been waiting for. I'm gonna open up and get to work."
  • "Wait a minute... Where's my key? Don't tell me we left it in that dungeon!"
  • "Aw MAN! Now you're going to have to go all the way back down to the Snifits' hideout and get it for me!"
  • "Welcome to Mustard Café, home of the chef, AKA yours truly."
  • "Now that you're here, you gonna order something or what?"
  • "Welcome to Mustard Café, home of the chef, AKA yours truly. Now that you're here, you gonna order something or what?"
  • "Patches up your paper cuts, yo! Puts the must in mustard! Just 70 coins!"
  • "Mustard juice is the new health craze everyone's talking about! Restore your paint for just 120 coins!"
  • "The star is free to all, yo. Go bask in its glory."
  • "Shine on, you...perfectly rational Paint Star..."
  • "Do you wanna order anything else?"
  • "Enjoy. And come back anytime, OK?"
  • "Whaaat. You're short on coins, bro."
  • "Come on back!"
  • "If you can't stand the heat, STAY OUT OF MY KITCHEN!"
