• "By Blubbery's blotches! Is that Mario over there? You're alive, old boy!"
• "You came just in the nick of time! Get these two out of here this instant!"
• "Just leave it to me, eh? I'll keep these ghouls busy while you get out of here! Flee! That's an order! Let me do what I must do! NOW, AWAY WITH YOU!"
• "HAAAAACK! PBBBTTHH! Uuurrrrgh... Get me that Chuckola Cola, old boy..."
• "HUP! HUP! WOT WOT?!? Yobbity yobbity...PIRATES! Where are those pirates?!?"
• "I'm sure my sea legs and explosive personality will be rather useful, eh?"
• "Flavio, old boy... I must say... You talk rather too much."
• "We've done it, old boy! I should say he won't be too keen on seeing us again, eh?"
• "Call it an old sea bomb's intuition, but that skull rock smells...suspicious."
• "Flavio, you old cash-grubber! If you want the treasure, why don't you go get it yourself?"
• "There you have it, Flavio! Fair and square, eh wot?"
• "Ah... Well, I say, that cursed chap seems rather a bit of all right, eh?"
• "By Chowderton's cheeks! That dreadful voice again... Those ghosts must be near..."
• "On your toes, old bean! That can only be an e-mail from Princess Peach!"
• "Great Goobery! Your princess is no one to be trifled with! We'd best get to work, too!"
• "Wait a tick! I've heard tell that only the rich and famous call that place home..."
• "Harumph! Sounds positively scintillating, dear boy. Point us there!"
• "Pardon me for saying so, but mustn't you have wealth or fame to ride that train?"
• "Ah...no. Terribly sorry. Mm-mm. Impossible. Can't do it. The man's reprehensible! ...Well, drat. I suppose there's nothing for it, eh, old boy? If we must, we must. Let's go."
• "Jolly good show! We'll reach Poshley Heights in time for tea, eh? Finding that sixth Crystal Star shouldn't be more taxing than a vacation, eh wot?"
• "Mario! That bodes ill! I suggest we reach Poshley Heights before that crone! Look alive, man! We are off to Rogueport Station!"
• "Harumph! The Excess Express! Rather posh, I must say! Yes, rather posh, indeed! The three days to Poshley Heights ought to pass in an eyeblink, eh, old boy?"
• "Rather odd threat, eh? You don't think that Beldam crone's responsible, do you?"
• "Well, regardless of who it may be, the scoundrel is surely on this very train! Let's roust this swine before he or she has the chance to cause mischief!"
  • "Well, regardless of who it may be, the scoundrel is surely on this very train! Let's roust this swine before they have the chance to cause mischief!" (Switch)

• "I should think they are the perpetrators behind the drawbridge debacle! Let's make haste, find the switch, and switch it back!"
• "Right! Let's have ourselves a snooze so we're right as rain in the morning!"
• "Ah, nothing quite like a new day, eh, old boy? And what a cool and brisk morning! Clears the sinuses!"
• "What IS that rank thing? ...Horrors! Mario, look! It's got the other passengers!"
• "Confound it all! Now what?"
• "Blast it all! We're too late!!! Quick! After them!"
• "By Crackifer's cookies! The moon? The princess is on the moon, old boy? Smashing!"
• "The moon?!? Great gobbledy! Princess Peach is there as well! ...This seems a bit...off."
• "An Ultra Hammer?!? Dear man, we've already procured one of those!"
• "Hmm... Yes... I see! Quite so! Destination: Fahr Outpost!"
• "A touch nippy, I should say! Let's do make haste, Mario. Fahr Outpost can't be far now, old boy!"
• "Old boy, I KNOW I saw a cannon the last time I was here, so do not lie, sir!"
• "Rather frosty, isn't it? Almost freezes one's mustache, eh, old boy?"
• "Harumph! Well, that was rather a bumpy trip, wot wot! Who would've guessed I'd get to do such a thing..."
• "Well, old boy, we're really on the moon, by Crabbery!"
• "You! You've been waiting, you say? Whatever do you mean by THAT, you boor?"
• "So Peach WAS here! Where did you take her, you hurly-burler?!?"
• "I say, old boy, I rather think YOU'RE going to be the one doing the suffering!"
• "We've finally got all seven Crystal Stars! Corking!"
• "Crockity! I say, old boy, did you just hear something?"
• "Into the breach, Mario!!!"
• "This place is rather ugly...but we haven't a choice in the matter, old boy! We must get in there and save Peach before this hullabaloo goes any further! Let's go, dear boy!"
• "Now who's this dragon fellow? I say, isn't that Hooktail, the guy you beat before? Yes, enormous, with rather grimy toes... Yes, that suits this fellow to a T!"
  • "Now who's this dragon? I say, isn't that Hooktail, the guy you beat before? Yes, enormous, with rather grimy toes... Yes, that suits this creature to a T!" (Switch)
• "It's absolutely titanic... What in blazes is it?"
• "Opening the door for you? My dear, repellant woman, what do you mean by that?!?"
• "Such balderdash! It's quite obvious you are in for a stomping, so let's have at it!"
• "Let’s leave these cads, Mario..."
• "This room gives me a rather foul feeling in my belly... What IS this chamber?"
• "So, this lout is the leader of those X-Nauts?"
• "No! So the last Crystal Star we found on the moon... We're fools!"
• "Watch your back, old boy! This burly fellow looks rather robust!"
• "What should we do, old boy? We're doomed if we don't attack him..."
• "Whew... Rather close, hm? At least we've settled that burly bloke's account, old boy. Now, let's save Peach!"
• "Mario, we mustn't serve evil! You must resist, old boy!!!"
• "I know Scarlette is watching over me from the other side! I KNOW it, old boy! If I don't send this queen packing, my girl will be most displeased, hm? Mario! Let's send this shady demon back to the darkness!"
• "Serve a witch? My Scarlette would be rather angry with me, I should think..."
• "What... What's THIS, now? I feel rather like a new Bob-omb! I feel fantastic!"
• "Mario! The time is ripe! We've almost done it!"
• "Don't you dare apologize, my dear! It was all in a day's work for us, hm?"
• "Well, old boy, it was most agreeable that I had the chance to meet you. If it hadn't been for you, then my dear Scarlette would still gaze down on a broken Bob-omb. Let's meet again, Mario! And this time, let it be on the high seas, old boy!"
• "Rather a crabby sort, eh?"
• "Leave it all to me, old boy! I shan't need help!"
• "I suggest you try a bit harder against the likes of us, hm?"
• "Well, you're hardly my type, either, you young scallywag!"

• "Couldn't be easier! You just need to have something that has your name written on it. Don't you have anything that has your name written on it? C'mon, everyone does!"
• "No? Really? OK. Hang on. I'll write it for you. What's your name?"
• "Mario, huh? OK... I'll write it here on the seat of your overalls. M-A-R-I-O, right?"
• "There! Perfect-a-mundo! While I'm at it, I'll write your partner's name, too. What's your name?"

Doe T.

• "Ah... Now, this is a problem."
• "...Eh? What's that you say? Ah! You could help me?"
• "Excellent! Just marvelous! I was just about to give up on the whole deal."
• "I came to the woods just to see the Great Tree, but the thugs up ahead scared me. Contending with the goons is not part of my repertoire, so to speak, so I've stalled here. Do you suppose you could give all the goons up ahead a proper trashing for me?"
• "Well, I'll be waiting here until you do. Thanks in advance, chum."
• "Done already, eh? Marvelous! I can finally see the Great Tree! I'm in your debt, sir! It isn't much, but, I hope this will do for your troubles. It's my change for lunch..."
• "Perhaps I'll see you up ahead."
• "Ah, the Great Tree... As you watch us foolishly continue to repeat history. What could you think of us? You can do nothing but stand and watch our ignorance. No! What rot! To assume that a tree can do nothing! That only proves my own foolishness!"

Dey oughta still be nearby. You gotta find my daughter, Francesca, an' dis... Frankie...an' bring dem both here. If you are unable to bring dem here, then alls you gotta do is tell me where dey are.

Doopliss

• "Hey, hang on, there, Slick! What are you doing, interrupting my 'ME' time?"
• "Who're you calling a monster? What's your problem? Why do you need to pick a fight? I'm busy thinking up new pranks and stuff! It's not easy, either! Now get lost! ...Of course, you guys WON'T. No way you ninnies go away quietly, am I right?"
• "Well, all right, then, Slick. Fine. Yes. I turned the villagers into pigs. Big deal."
• "Well... You know, they're all so depressing and boring and dimwitted all the time... So instead of wallowing in gloom, I figured they might as well wallow in mud! HA! Now they're pigs, get it? Isn't that just sooo perfect? It's like irony, or something. So...what? You got a problem with that? I guess you do. So let's play, Slick!"
• "Yuk yuk yuk! I guess I'll get down and dirty if you're gonna play like that, Slick!"
• "Hmm... Time to regroup, here. So, you think you're a couple of heavies, huh? Well then, my dear friends... If you thought changing folks into pigs was impressive... Then you're gonna love this! I've got something very special for you here..."
• "How do you like them apples? Now that's MAGIC, people! Now you're fighting yourself! Ha! I'm a dang genius!"
• "Yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk! Hold on... Wha... Wha... Huh? You beat me?"
• "Hey, what's up, Slick? Been waiting for you!"
• "Yeah, you're Mario, right? What a great name! And I really dig this body, too! MAN can I jump now! And hey! You're so popular around here! I get mobbed! I just love being you! Yeah, it's so cool, I don't think I ever wanna stop!"
• "So, you figured it out by now, right, Slick? Your body and name belong to me now! See, I've got the power to change my shape into anyone I want... It comes in handy. But to REALLY be someone, I need to take their name and body, too! Which means you turn into a shadow and can't use your name!"
• "Tough break, Slick! That's not enough, either... I aim to erase you for good!"
• "I guess it'd be unsporting to ruin you without a challenge...so I'll give you one chance. If you guess my real name, then I'll give you back your name and body! What do you say, Slick? This'll be fun, right? Now, guess! What's my name? Hit me with your best shot!"
• "Wrongamundo, little nobody! Who'd name their kid that? Prepare for doom, Slick! Yuk yuk yuk! And don't even think about running from battle, hear? NO RUNNING!"
• "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... That's no fun..."
• "I would've done this back in town, but that wouldn't have looked very good, would it?"
• "All right, can the chatter! Here's the deal: you get your chance, then I stomp you! If you guess my real name, then you get your body and name back. Fire away, No-Name!"
• "Hey, Slick! Time to cancel your magazine subscriptions, 'cause you're getting erased! But first, please amuse me with one more guess... It really gives me joy to watch you squirm in futility as you try to guess my name! So...hit me one more time!"
• "Wha... What did you just say?!?"
• "It can't be..."
• "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW?"
• "I'm...feeling...faint..."
• "Hey, you again, eh, Slick? You're pretty stubborn to follow me all the way here!"
• "Fine. Fine. I see. I get it. Let's just put an end to this, shall we?"
• "All right, kids, put on your fighting gloves! Uh... Woo hoo! It's-a me!"
• "Very good, my loyal ones. How dare this nameless nobody challenge the great Mario?!?"
• "What's going on here, huh? Fight with your girlfriend? Well, don't expect any sympathy from us, ghoulies!"
• "Yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk! See? Your friends ditch you because you don't have the charisma of me, Super Mario!"
• "Ughhhh..."
• "Gulp! How dare you try to do this to the great Super Mario?!? How DARE you?!?"
• "Graaaack! I've almost had it.. Super Mario's hurting..."
• "No... Why... HOW?!?"
• "Rats! YOU KILLJOYS!!!"
• "Hey, guy. Yeah, you know this, but I'm the absurdly famous movie star, Zip Toad. I'm gonna shoot this little multibillion-dollar art flick in Poshley Heights, yo. Oh, and, uh, I only sign autographs for cute chicks. Sorry about that, guy."
• "I'm dying for a taco, guy! Couldn't you just whip up some grub real quick? What? They took the whole pot? Really? The whole deal? ...This isn't in my contract."
• "WHAT? A MYSTERY?"
• "Oooooooooooooooh..."
• "Aw, this scene is for total squares! Forget you guys! I'm going back to my room."
• "So...lame..."
• "Hey, thanks, babe."
• "Hey, guy. Getting falsely accused is a bummer, right? Don't I know it!"
• "What does that little Bub kid want as a present? Uh............................................ Well, I'm sure he'd be stoked to have an autograph of mine, right, guy? Oh, man, don't they all? I can't do it, unfortunately. I only sign for chicks."
• "Zow! Where'd you come from? You won't me catching me that easily, guy!"
• "YOOOOWCH!"
• "Curses! I almost got away with it by getting off at Riverside Station, too..."
• "Bleah..."
• "Hey, I think not, Slick! You think you can hold me? No way! Beldam would flip if I let that happen!"
• "This whole Zip Toad thing was just a means to an end! It's me, suckers! Doopliss! Beldam's plan to gooify Mario didn't exactly work, so I'll be cutting and running now! I'll leave the rest to Beldam! See ya, suckers!"
• "Hey! Don't leave without me!"
• "What kept you, Mario?!? ...Well, it doesn't matter now. I don't think they're in the vicinity anymore. They must have found another way to get through the door..."
• "It's all come down to this! Hurry now, Mario! Hold aloft the last Crystal Star!"
• "At long last, the entrance to the Palace of Shadow has been opened! Before Princess Peach falls victim to that fiend... Before he takes over the world... You must rescue the princess and stop this cataclysm!"
• "Me? I'd just get in the way. I'll wait here and, uh, watch the door. Yes, that's it. It's all up to you, Mario. Stop their foul ambitions and save Princess Peach!"
• "Uh, yeah, my name's Doopliss, but..."
• "That's right, Slick! Eternity!"
• "Oh, OK... Right... Sorry..."
• "I said, my name's DOOPLISS!"
• "OK! OK! OK! OK!"
• "S-S-S-Sorry..."
• "Oh, no!"

Eve

• "I haven't been able to buy food for my children since my husband turned into a pig. Now they're all so hungry... What should I do?"
• "Kind traveler... If you have some spare food, could you share it with us?"
• "Oh, thank you so much. You've made my children very happy...and me, as well. It's not much, but please take this as thanks. Oh, and kind traveler... Where do you hail..."
• "Oh, of course, I understand. Please don't worry about it... Oh, by the way, traveler... Where do you hail..."
• "Thanks to Mario, our village is back to normal at last. If you see Mario, you should thank him, too!"
• "Mario, congratulations on finding your Crystal Star. These kids are MY treasures. Nothing could replace them. And nothing ever will. I hope you'll find something that you can feel the same way about someday."
• "Ah, Mario. Did you find what you were looking for? Keep looking, no matter where the road takes you. Never, never give up. But don't wear yourself out, either. You must keep body and mind healthy. Feel free to visit anytime. The children are always happy to see you...as am I."
• "Ah, Mario. You seem to have found what you were looking for, correct? Feel free to visit anytime. The children are always happy to see you...as am I."
• "Oh, Mario, you've accepted my trouble request? Well... It's hard to talk about in front of the children. Can we step outside?"
• "I need you to help me to meet someone... His name is Podley...my former love. We had the same dream: to be stars of the musical stage. We shared our dreams, and we shared a wonderful love for a time. In that cramped little apartment, we huddled together, poor but happy."
• "But when I finally got a part in a Broadshroom play as the leading lady... Podley left me. He left a quickly scrawled note that said only this: "My dear, I would only dim your bright future. Farewell." Oh, Podley! WHY? My dream was always to be with you, not to be a star that shines alone! I wanted only to shine with him... Success was nothing without him."
• "I left the production while it was in rehearsal. I forgot about Podley and my dreams. I got married and lived the life of a housewife, happy in its quiet comforts... And now... I'm surrounded by beautiful children. My happiness is so complete now, I had forgotten about those days..."
• "But then I heard a rumor that Podley was running a Chuckola shop in Rogueport! Could you please tell him that I would like to see him again? Tell him that Purehearted Eve has not forgotten her first love! Yes, "Purehearted Eve" was my stage name... Please meet with Podley and ask how he feels about me. Please, Mario!"
• "Have you met with Podley? Not yet, I see… Please meet with Podley and ask how he feels about me. Please, Mario!"
• "Have you met with Podley? Really… What did he say?"
  • (Tell her the truth.)
  • "So Podley has forgotten about me… Sniff… That's fine… I guess I was just feeling nostalgic… I'll probably forget about it. You know… I have these little ones to think of…so I have plenty to keep my mind busy…"
  • (Make something up, quick!)
  • "Oh, Podley… I knew our love could never die! Thank you…but no more! I'm a different person now. Yes, a devoted mother… Just knowing he feels the same is enough for me to know joy for all of my days. Thank you so much, Mario. You've breathed new life into this old girl's heart…"
• "Oh, we're having a feast tonight, kids! I have special dinners from Zess T.'s shop! Mario, you have one, too! …Oh, Mario, your inventory is full… Well, I'll just leave this here for you to grab whenever you can."

Excess Express engineer

• "Greetings! Welcome to the Excess Express! I'm what is called the train engineer. Our opulent journey to Poshley Heights will take approximately three days. And how do you find your accommodations? Are they not incredibly splendid? Our furnishings delight the eye, but the sway of our locomotive delights all else!"
• "So let’s all hear it… for the Excess Express! Huzzah! Huzzah!"
• "What-what? A sticky, yummy threat of some kind? Are you serious? Oh, that shan't be good for business... I can't leave the controls, so can you inform the conductor at the end of the train?"
• "Running this train during the sunset is the high point of every day for me!"

Excess Express waitress

Flavio

• "And what do you want, ah? Who, me, you ask about? Ah! I am called Flavio. I am, how you say? A trader. The richest man in Rogueport. Monetary wealth gives me freedom, yes, and freedom gives me wealth of spirit! And yet...why is it that a man whose life is unchained must always long for yet more, ah? What is missing from my life? This tears at my very insides! I must know! What do I lack?"
• "I growl at you like an angry jungle beast! I ought to..."
• "...Um, no. Not fair. Flavio hates you all."
• "What? You want me to give you the Chuckola Cola? Ha! I must scoff at you!"
• "Yes, having my beautiful S.S. Flavion smashed to bits was not a financial boon, hm?"

Flurrie

• "Ahhh! These woods are the most wonderful in all the world. Yes, indeed!"
• "Building a house here was just the FINEST idea I ever did have. Oh, my, yes! ♡"
• "This place is so different from the bright flashbulbs of the world I'm used to..."
• "Such peace... This negative image of the real world soothes my body and soul."
• "But what's even better...is that I, Madame Flurrie, grow ever more lovely here!"
• "Plus, those squishy, adorable little Punies that live in that tree are SO nice to me!"
• "But...I suppose if I stay here too long, I'll begin to crave hustle and bustle before long!"
• "Oh! Oh, my! It's happening even as I speak! Already I feel the need for drama! ♡"
• "That moment of exhilaration when the spotlight shines down on the stage...on me!"
• "Surely I was born to be...an actress for the ages! ♡"
• "It's settled, then. I shall rise again! But...before I make my stage comeback... I simply must whip my body and mind into shape. ♡"
• "I'll just have to put on some makeup and make my beauty even more beautiful."
• "Wait a moment... Noooooooooooooo! It's gone! Gone I tell you! My... My..."
• "Eeeeek! No! Out of the question! You mustn't come in here! ♡"
• "Oh! Wait a moment... Those darling, squishy little footsteps... Is that you, Punio?"
• "Oh, it's been an AGE since I saw you last! You poor dear! Is there something you need?"
• "Oh... Is that all, dearie? You came all the way here just for that?"
• "My adorable little Punio... You know I would do anything in my power to help you."
• "However, lamentably... I'm in a bit of a bind myself. I just cannot come out."
• "It's somewhat embarrassing...but I never go out without my favorite necklace."
• "I just can't find the blessed thing! I suspect I dropped it on my daily constitutional."
• "I'd be simply SCANDALIZED if anyone saw me without it, so I shan't be going out."
• "I absolutely MUST have that neckalace to highlight my beauty, and that's that!"
• "What's that? DO speak up! You! Whoever just spoke! Do you have some clue as to my necklace's whereabouts?"
• "Building a house here was just the FINEST idea I ever did have. Oh, my, yes! ♡"
• "If you do, you must help me! Please! Be a dear! Find it and bring it back to me!"
• "If you could, then I'd be delighted to help my squishy little friend, Punio. ♡"
• "I'm sorry to trouble you so. ♡"
• "Please! You must find my precious necklace! I'm counting on you! ♡"
• "Oh! You delightful fellow! You've found my necklace! I'm beside myself, truly! ♡"
• "But...you still mustn't see me. Please, leave the necklace by the door and wait a moment."
• "Oh, splendid, SPLENDID! My oh-so-ravishing necklace! I'm awash with joy! ♪"
• "Oh! Oh...my...word! Mario, isn't it! Are YOU my heroic little necklace hunter?"
• "Well! My, my, my... Aren't you a FINE specimen of a man? Yes, indeed! ♡"
• "I simply MUST thank you for your graciousness! ♡"
• "But how to do it? Hmmm... Perhaps if I...grabbed you and gave you a little sugar? ♡"
• "Here I come, handsome! Time to give you a proper thank-you! Pucker up! ♡"
• "Oh, Mario, you are just the CUTEST little thing I've ever laid eyes on! ♡"
• "Yes you are, and that's that. So tell me, are you truly looking for the Crystal Stars?"
• "The very same Crystal Stars spoken of by all the lowlifes in Rogueport?"
• "Mmmm... A danger-filled search for beautiful jewels... How absolutely marvelous!"
• "And here I was thinking how frightfully bored I was! It's time for a change!"
• "And besides, I do declare... That plush mustache of yours has completely swooned me!"
• "A man as manly as you must attract all sorts of trouble, and I want to keep you safe!"
• "So, I daresay I'll be joining you on this little adventure. I assume that's fine, Mario? ♡"
• "Excuse me? We must what? Are you a friend of Mario’s? Oh, wait… I see. And I most certainly do NOT approve!"
• "Oh, mercy me! Mario! You’re popular with all the girls, aren’t you?"
• "Well! Don’t worry, Mario! I’m not TOO jealous. What a shamelss flirt, though!"
• "Say, if you have a moment… Might I ask a question? We’re looking for a lovely gem called a Crystal Star… Do you know of it?"
• "My goodness! Would you look at that! A pipe leading down. Let’s see where it leads!"
• "Oh, what a PRECIOUS little thing! He hasn’t done anything wrong. Mario, we simply must go easy on the poor dear."
• "Oh, what ails you, my little pudding pie? He seems so lonely, doesn’t he, Mario? Why, he looks like I do when I step into the spotlight and then forget my very first line. Oooh… Hold up, now! You know what? I believe he might wish to join us!"
• "My! Such wonderful drama! I imagine we have to do something now, don’t we?"
• "Pardon me a moment! Don’t these odd columns look somewhat familiar?"
• "Oh, I feel I might swoon! What was that, I wonder?"
• "Oh, dear me! Mario! Isn’t that the Crystal Star?"
• "Oh, dear! That wretched beast again! Dearie me!"
• "I must say, I craved exciting times, but I never expected this! Let’s go, quickly now!"
• "Ahem! You’ll do no such thing!"
• "Honestly, did you really think we'd let a wretch like you escape? I DO believe you will be handing over that Crystal Star and promptly exiting this tree!"
• "Mercy me! That metal colossus is incredible! … And yet… There’s something rather odd about it… Let’s just keep our eyes peeled! Don’t be careless!"
• "A rousing success, Mario! How delightful!"
• "Oh, this shan’t be our last visit, Certainly not! But… Until then, ta-ta!"
• "Oh, mercy me! Sounds like some mail!"
• "Isn’t that precious, Mario?"
• "Now, my little Mario! It’s Crystal Star time!"
• "Oh, mercy me! The next Crystal Star has made an entrance! My, my, my! But… Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it up in the sky? What does THAT mean?"
• "Perhaps I’m just daft, but why would they want to seal this treasure away at all? Did they fear thieves and brigands? If not, then what?"
• "Hm? That’s not what?"
• "Frankly, please!"
• "Oh, yes. How inappropriate. In any case, what about the location of this Crystal Star that’s floating on the map? A floating city, you say? So, are we just supposed to sprout wings and fly there, darling? Do tell."
• "Oooh! That sounds exciting! A little…on the seedy side. Show me the way!"
• "Mmmm… I like the sound of this Don Pianta fellow. I cannot WAIT to meet him!"
• "Bite your tongue! Don’t listen to that lout! The treasure is as real as I am!"
• "I’m not entirely sure I like the sound of this…"
• "Oh, whatever should we do? We have to day SOMETHING to that Don Pianta fellow… I must say, though… I don’t fancy a run of terrible luck. That would be unfortunate."
• "My, my! We’ve done it, Mario! Next stop, Glitzville!"
• "My, my, my! Glitzville! I’ve heard that the Glitz Pit is just full of brawny brawls! I must admit, the prospect of some hurly-burly gets me a touch piqued! ♡"
• "Now, darling, let’s find that Crystal Star, hmm?"
• "Oh, dear me! What a positively glorious venue! Oh, mercy, Mario! Look there! Those two brutes are about to have at each other!"
• "Oh, my word! Mario! On that uncouth bird’s belt! Is that a Crystal Star?"
• "Yes, I do believe it is! That wonderful sparkle is yet another Crystal Star! …But such a tawdry place to find it… Why would it be here, of all places?"
• "Oh, whatever shall we do? I don’t fancy the idea of stealing that fellow’s belt… What shall we do, Mario?"
  • (Steal that thing!)
  • "Oh, Mario, you adorable man! You do love to joke! We’ll do no such thing. I must say, I only see one way to get what we seek. Yes, just one… You must best this champion and take the belt with the power of your machismo!"
  • (Battle our way to the top!)
  • "Oh, you darling man, I’m SO happy to hear you say that! I’d expect nothing less! You’re ten times the man of anyone here! You’ll be champion in no time! ♡"
• "Let’s move on then, shall we? Our next step is to become official fighters, I imagine. Ooh, my heart is positively THUMPING! Let’s find whoever is in charge, this minute!"
• "What sort of base cowards attack before the match officially begins? Honestly!"
• "Come on, Mario, darling! We shan’t lose to lowlifes! Let’s teach them a lesson!"
• "Here we go, darling! Time to shine!"
• "Mario, darling… Are you quite ready?"
• "Why, that was no fuss whatsoever!"
• "Anytime you care for another lesson, we’ll be here! ♡"
• "Hmmm, now? You wish for us to help you, you darling little egg?"
• "Mario, hon, what do you think we ought to do?"
  • (Help the little guy!)
  • "A positively endearing choice, Mario, not that I expected any less. We shall free him!"
  • (Let there be Hot Dogs!)
  • "Mario, you wash your mouth out right this instant! How DARE you frighten this egg! Well, I never… Little eggy, you just ignore the scary man, OK? We will let you go."
• "You, Mr. Proprietor! Would you allow us to free this poor soul?"
• "Well, that’s just lovely! You’re free to do whatever you like, dear egg! Farewell!"
• "Hmmm? What is it now, dear? You wish to accompany us, you adorable little thing?"
• "I daresay this little dumpling wants to stay with us, Mario. What shall we do?"
  • (OK, it can follow us.)
  • "You’re all clear, little one! But do try not to get underfoot, all right?"
  • (No. Jumping eggs bug me.)
  • "Mario, you awful, awful man. Why must you torment him? We simply MUST take him in!"
• "Good gracious, we’ll make the major league if we prevail! I like our chances!"
• "Oh, mercy me! Mario… That adorable little egg seems to have disappeared. Where could the little fellow have gotten himself to?"
• "Why, you little rapscallion! You hatched from that egg? Well, aren’t you precious! ♡"
• "Come on, now, sugar pie! Let’s teach these hooligans a thing or two this time!"
• "Oh! Gracious me, Mario! Sounds like you’ve another e-mail! What is it this time?"
• "Ah, that X fellow again? Now he’s directing us to some “watering hole,” hmmm? I do wonder who this gentleman is…"
• "Mario, darling! E-mail call!"
• ""The blockade in the minor-league locker room," hmm? What could be behind it?"
• "Good gracious! That’s a report investigating the Crystal Stars! Someone was doing scientific studies on the Crystal Stars. My, it even has pictures!"
• "I have to wonder about why someone would leave this out for us to find…"
• "Oh, my, she doesn’t like us, does she? And we worked so hard getting that paper…"
• "It’s not a total loss, dear. At the very least, we know the Crystal Star is nearby."
• "Oh, my! That looks delightful! I see no reason why you shouldn’t treat yourself!"
  • (Eat)
  • "Good-bye, diet! ♡"
  • (Don’t eat)
  • "Well, if you say so, dear. I suppose cake isn’t exactly the ideal athlete’s food. ♡"
• "My word! Who would expect THAT lout to show up here? My goodness gracious!"
• "Mail call, dearie!"
• "Ah, our mysterious friend! Where to this time? A telephone booth outside? Yes, I believe I saw a booth out there somewhere… Let’s take a stroll."
• "That chicken is rather rude. I hardly think it’s necessary to resort to threats… But wait a moment… Could it be that the nasty e-mail came from him? I suppose we can’t know. And regardless of who sent it, we must be more careful."
• "Now we’re to break into the storage room? Mercy! This fellow seems to like making us run about… I can’t say I approve."
• "Why, if it isn’t the young lady felon! I don’t approve of you following Mario, dear. You’ve grown careless, too. Did you know that Security heard you making noise here?"
• "Are you absolutely sure? You didn’t make just a little bit of noise, dear?"
• "My! You ARE brazen, aren’t you, dearie?"
• "Well, I daresay she IS a thief, hm? She certainly stole your lips with ease, Mario! But that’s hardly important… What might she have meant by “poor souls upstairs”?"
• ""The staircase switch"? Am I to understand there’s a staircase hidden in here?"
• "Good gracious me! Did you hear what I just heard? Missing fighters? How absolutely heartrending! That poor, sweet King K… I just assumed he had retired to his hometown…"
• "Mercy! My, that was close! I say, though, Mario, when that Grubba gentleman spoke of the Crystal Star… I couldn’t help but notice that Ms. Jolene acted a touch strange… Well, I do believe that we’d best make ourselves scarce before we’re found!"
• "Oh, dear, our surly friend… For such a pill, he does seem to know a fair bit. Between the Crystal Star and those poor, missing fighters… This fellow seems to know everything we’ve been trying to find out! But who is he?"
• "My, my, that DOES look good! Why don’t we just go ahead and have ourselves a bite! ♡"
  • (Eat)
  • "Ooh, serve it up! ♡"
  • "Oh, my that is delectable! Just a minute, darling… I saved a bit for you…"
  • "Oh! I seem to be having a bit of an allergic reaction! I’m feeling rather numb…"
  • "Why, I’m feeling tip-top again! Fine job, winning the day even without me, dear! Even so… A poisoned cake… Our lives are in danger. I simply MUST be more careful from now on."
  • (Don’t eat)
  • "No? You bizarre man, whyever not? You’ve no need to watch your weight!"
• "Incidentally, darling… Did you notice this poor soul on the floor?"
• "I daresay that cake was poisoned! Had we eaten it, we’d have ended up like that poor fellow there!"
• "My, my, my, it’s mail time! Now, who might it be from?"
• "Oh, is it from X this time? He still sounds rather untrustworthy, but still… He wants us to peel off the lobby posters bearing your likeness, does he? Well, I suppose we must."
• "Whatever could that key be for?"
• "OH, MY WORD! What on earth is this?!? Bandy Andy, you poor dear! And King K! How awful!"
• "Andy, honey, just hang on! Why would we have to avoid the ring, now?"
• "My word, did you see that? I do believe that was young Ms. Jolene! What in the world is going on here?"
• "Pardon me, sir, but I do believe you’re taking us the wrong way…"
• "Sir, I really must protest… Where are we off to?"
• "Mercy me, we’re back in a minor-league locker room! And it’s deserted! He DID say to wait here… But, darling, I can’t help but think we’ll miss our match!"
• "Well, my dear, I’d say we’re now officially VERY late. Let’s find out what’s what."
• "Oh, my goodness gracious! We’ve been locked in, Mario! We’re trapped here!"
• "Correct me if I’m wrong, darling, but won’t we forfeit if we don’t show up? There simply MUST be a way out of this place!"
• "Darling, I tried it earlier. It’s quite firmly locked."
• "Drat! Locked as well!"
• "I should like to request that we NEVER do that again. In any case, to the arena!"
• "Well, I daresay we’ve made it in time! And it sounds like the fans approve! Ah, it reminds me so much of my time on stage! Let’s go give that chicken what for!"
• "Well, here we are, dear. At last, we fight the champ. Let’s take him, shall we?"
• "Whatever does THAT mean, you awful chicken? Am I to understand that it was you who got the security guard to lock us away?"
• "So, it was you, after all! You sent those threats about the Crystal Star!"
• "Mario, darling, we’ve finally done it! We beat that lout! But… I daresay that chicken truly had no clue about the Crystal Star… We’re still in dire straits as far as the real one goes. Wherever could it be?"
• "Oh, my! Mario, darling… I do believe I hear a voice coming from somewhere…"
• "Might it be…a ghost?"
• "Oh, I almost swooned! That Mailbox SP is going to be the death of me!"
• "So, if that’s to be believed, there’s really a ghost here? That’s rather unsettling…"
• "Isn’t this the air duct? Where does it lead?"
• "Why, that voice belongs to Grubba! Could he have made those poor souls disappear?"
• "I do believe he’s gone… Now, wasn’t there something in his desk drawer?"
• "Oh, my! Is that the paper Grubba said he’d hid? Let’s have a look."
• "Mercy! A machine under the ring using the Crystal Star? These are the blueprints! I can scarcely understand this paper, but I believe the Crystal Star powers it! If this paper’s correct, then the machine can suck the power out of folks! Oh, no… Is it possible that King K and Bandy Andy were, well…drained?"
• "You shut your trap, sir! You drained the life from those poor souls!"
• "Mario, darling! We must chase him down!"
• "My goodness! Mario, there’s the Crystal Star!"
• "Using innocent fighters and a Crystal Star just to improve your looks? You're despicable."
• "Oh, my! He got quite a bit larger, didn’t he?"
• "All right, let’s finish this nasty business right now! Come on, Mario, dear!"
• "Why, Ms. Jolene!"
• "Ah, so our mysterious X was..."
• "The poor dear really seemed aloof, but in fact, she just loved her brother so!"
• "Mario, darling, look there! The Crystal Star!"
• "Mercy me! So THAT’s what the Crystal Star’s capable of!"
• "Truly? You don’t mind if we take it?"
• "Well, darling, you needn’t hesitate! Take it!"
• "How marvelous! Now we have three of those Crystal Stars! I suggest we make haste for Rogueport, wouldn’t you say?"
• "Mario, dear! Look alive! That may well be an e-mail from Princess Peach!"
• "They wish to rule the world? Well, I refuse to bow to such megalomaniacs!"
• "Mmmm... A bit to the left... ♡"
• "'Big deal'? You foul boor! What ever would possess you to do something so mean?"
• "Oh, mercy! Was that it? This fellow was so easy! I was rather expecting more. Well, I suppose we got the Crystal Star, so let's leave immediately, hmm?"
• "How could I mistake my dear Mario for another? Silly Flurrie!"
• "Oh, I do believe it is YOU who will fall today, dear! Let’s settle this, hmm?"
• "Let's leave these louts, Mario..."
• "So, this gentlemen is the leader of those X–Nauts?"
• "So, that last Crystal Star we found on the Moon... NO! What have we done?"
• "Mario, do be careful, dear! This fellow looks like he means business!"
• "We shan't let that happen!"
• "Mario, what shall we do, darling? We cannot bow down to her!"
• "Now that's just senseless... Are we to betray all of those who believed in us?"
• "Time to pay for all of your ills!"
• "My dear, dear, Mario. I am ready to make my comeback in the theatre, now! I've found so many things on this journey that I could only express on stage. Please do come to see me once we've finished rehearsing. And bring Peach, too, dear!"
• "Well, I never! How rude! Go get your eyes checked, young man! I am a PRIZE!"
• "Mercy! Such anger!"

Francesca

• "Hey, back off, you creep! You want something, or you just like sliding up to people?"
• "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!? Daddy asked you to find us? And take us to him?!?"
• "Frankie, what should we do? If Daddy finds us now... Oh, I don't know...and the boat's coming any minute..."
• "No, Frankie! Don't say that! Don't you know what he'll do to you if we do that?"
• "Oh, Frankie... My Frankie... Don't you love me?"
• "Then let's go, Frankie! Let's run! To the ends of the earth if we have to!"
• "We can, Frankie! The more you try to put out the flames of love, the hotter they burn! Until I marry you, no one will extinguish these flames of passion! NO ONE!!!"
• "Don't you see, Mister? I beg you: pretend you never saw us! Can you do that?"
• "Oh, thank you! Thank you! You're swell, Mister! You're a real stand-up guy!"
• "Daddy, wait!"
• "No, Daddy! Don't hurt him! I'm the one who said we should elope. It was ME! But Frankie said no! He said we should come back and talk to you, Daddy!"
• "No, Daddy! No! No! No! I'm the bad one. It's my fault! If you're going to punish anyone, punish me!"
• "Daddy!"
• "Daddy!!!"
• "Oh, Daddy!!!!!!!!!!"
• "Thank you so much, Daddy! Thanks for your blessing!"
• "Good-bye, Daddy! Farewell! And thank you!"
• "Hey! Aren't you Mario?!?"
• "It's me! Me! Don Pianta's daughter! Francesca! And Frankie's here, too!"
• "After my dad forgave us, we set out on a trip... The ship we were on got a little too close to this island...and now look at us! Still, I'm amazed the rumors about Cortez were all true! ...Which means... he's nearby!"
• "Hey, so, by the way... Why are YOU here? Don't tell me Daddy had you come here to take us back!"
• "What?!? You're after the pirate's treasure because it might contain a Crystal Star? Well, I think the treasure is right in there, watched by Cortez's spirit... Yeah.... I'm sure you'll be able to take care of him, though! You look tough! Besides, Cortez is the one that trapped us on that raft, so smack him one for me!"
• "Oh, hi there...Mario. What brings you back here? Can we do something for you?"
• "Oh, poor Daddy! Oh, no... And at a time like this..."
• "You see, I... I just dropped the wedding ring Frankie gave me around here... I can't possibly leave until I find that ring! Otherwise something might eat it! It must be somewhere between here and that skull rock!"
• "NO!!! You have to say it 99 more times, Frankie!"
• "Oh, Frankie, baby... You're such a silly billy! Hee hee hee!"
• "AAAAAAH! THAT'S IT!!! THAT'S MY RING!!! YOU FOUND IT!!!"
• "Frankie! Now we can go home to Daddy!"
• "...Well, so, anyway... We'll be down at the dock. Hurry back, please!"
• "Ohhhhhh, Daddy! Please hang on until we get there!"
• "We have to go see Daddy immediately!"
• "Daddy! Daddy! DADDY! Wake up! Open your eyes!"
• "DADDY!"
• "Of COURSE we did, Daddy! As soon as we heard you were ill, we dropped everything and rushed back!"

Frankie

• "Dollface... Maybe we oughta head back and try to talk to da boss one more time."
• "Francesca... Babydoll... If we can just talk calm-like wit' da boss, he'll understand."
• "Of course I love you, sugar cookie. More dan anybody in da whole world!"
• "But, butter biscuit... Dey already found us out. We can't keep runnin' forever."
• "Boss! Forgive me, Boss! I-I'm sorry! Truly, I am!"
• "Boss! Listen, I don't care what you do to me! I deserve it all for bein' disloyal! But you gotta forgive her. Forgive your daughter, Boss! Dat's all I ask."
• "No, Boss! It's all on me. It's my responsibility! All da blame, right here."
• "Boss!"

• "Boss! I'll make your daughter a happy woman! I promise you! She'll want for nothin'!"
• "What?!? Da boss is sick?!?"

Fred

• "Hello to you, traveler. Is this first time in Fahr Outpost for you, KA-BOMB? There is not much here, but enjoy stay, KA-BOOOOM!"
• "Hello, traveler. First time in Fahr Outpost, KA-BOOIE? What? Fahr Outpost cannon? ...... Wah! I apologize for that. No, I just had distraction... It is nothing, KA-POWIE!"
• "Oh, da? Really? You really want to, KA-BOO, KA-BOMB? That is...just...great, KA-PLOW!"
• "Hooray! I have been wanting to shoot that thing off for very long time, KA-BANG! But after we blow up, we are all hazy and confused, da... Like frogs in fog, KA-CRACK!"
