*"''I hate the [[Watt|light...]]''"

*"''I hate light!!!''"

*"''I'll make it darker...then even darker than that...''"

*"''If you help us… I promise I'll return the favor.''"

*"''I've got a score to settle with those [[Koopa Bros.]]!''"

*"''Mario rescued me. So I figured the least I could do was help him even the score with Bowser, King of the Koopas!''"

*"''Who's [[Jr. Troopa|this kid]]...? Let me get this straight... He wants to challenge [[Mario|you]]? He's got to be kidding!''"

*"''You’re Luigi, huh? I’m Bombette. Nice to meet you!♥''"

*"''Oh, finally! I couldn't stand being in [[Forever Forest|that spooky forest]] for another minute!''"

*"''Hm? Mario! I'm positive that's the [[Boo's Mansion|mansion]] the [[Bootler|creepy old ghost]] was telling us about...''"

*"''Mario, they'll throw us out of the castle if they catch us.''"

*"''Tubba Blubba's up! Let's get away!''"

*"''If you'd hit me with that [[Hammer]], Mario, I was going to bomb you the next time you napped. But you didn't! I'm so happy that you knew I was the real Bombette!''"

*"''Think about something else for two seconds, will [[Bruce|you]]?''"

*"''The material's weak. The material [[Bowser's Castle|here]] is MUCH weaker than the one at [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]]!''"

*"''Ohh... How totally weird! The lava cooled off and became hard as rock! Neat!''"

 

*"''Pardon me, sir... Would you happen to be [[Mario]]? How do you do, sir? [[Lady Bow|My master]] wishes to see you. If you would, please call on us at the [[Boo's Mansion|mansion]] on the far side of [[Forever Forest]]. My master would also like me to add that she has in her possession important news regarding the [[Star Spirits]].''"

*"''Please make haste! We shall await your arrival with a warm welcome. And if you don't come...WE'LL GET YOU!''"

*"''Welcome, sirs and [[Bombette|madam]]! I'm pleased you made it through Forever Forest. My master awaits you in the room highest up in this lovely mansion. Please go to the third floor. There you will hear all the news of the Star Spirits... I'll see you there...''"

* ''"If harm befalls our lady, the Boo ancestors will be horribly displeased. I shudder to ask this, but I must beg you to protect her whenever danger arises!''"

* ''"Sigh...sigh......''"

'''Pre-title cutscene'''

*"''Ha ha ha! Yeah! I did! Gwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! So I can, at long last, beat my archenemy, [[Mario]], I'll take this [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]]!''" - The first line of character dialogue in the game.

*"''Do it, [[Kammy Koopa]]!!''"

*"''Yeah! Now let's try using it!''"

*"''Bwa ha ha ha ha... We did it! That was a piece o' cake!! Gwaa ha ha!''"

 

'''Opening cutscene'''

*"''Gwaa ha ha ha ha ha! Long time no see, [[Princess Peach]]!''"

*"''I've lifted [[Peach's Castle|your castle]] way up into the sky! It's sitting on my castle now! Weren't expecting that, huh?''"

*"''Ha! This castle's under my control now, my dear! Now you will obey ME!''"

*"''Huh... What?! It's... Mario?! What a shock!!''"

*"''Ha! Not really! I expected you to turn up, right on cue. You're just as annoying as ever.''"

*"''Good old Mario... always fighting. You're a thorn in my side. But today, your pathetic little attacks won't beat me!''"

*"''Gwa ha ha ha ha ha! Is that all you've got? How sad! You'd best take some vitamins, 'cause that didn't hurt at all!''"

*"''The Star Rod is a fine piece of work that has the power to grant any wish in the whole world. And when I use the Star Rod to increase my strength, even you can't beat me, Mario!''"

*"''Yes! Oh yeah! I did it! I finally did it!! I beat up my old rival Mario! Yessss!!!''"

*"''As long as I have the Star Rod, everything I wish will come true! Nobody can stop me now!''"

 

*"''I used the Star Rod to make [[Goomboss|that Goomba]] a king because he begged me. And Mario whips him up so easily!?! What a wimp!!''"

*"''Uh... Kammy Koopa, you ARE sure that Mario can never defeat us, right?''"

*"''I'm not easily impressed! Mario won't have a chance if you [[Koopa Bros.]] finish him!''"

*"''With the power of the Star Rod, I can't be touched by anyone in the Mushroom Kingdom. You know, Princess, the power that grants everyone's wishes... is mine! Isn't that just wonderful?''"

*"''If you, you know, want anything, all you need to do is ask me, and I'll grant your wishes. But only as long as the request is something I like... so think about it, Princess.''"

 

'''Cutscene after Chapter 1'''

*"''Oh no! I can't believe I left my secret diary lying out! It would be totally embarrassing if someone read that thing... Wuh... wuh... WHAAAT?!! What's the princess doing here?''"

*"''AAAAHHHH!!! You little sneak! You read my diary!!!''"

*(to two [[Koopatrol]]s) "''You’re the worst guards ever! Take Princess Peach back to her room! Immediately!''"

 

*"''Princess Peach, how are you doing this fine day? Nothing makes me happier than a smile from you, Peach.''"

*"''That jerk, Mario, just beat the [[Koopa Bros.]] and [[Tutankoopa]]. Sure, they were complete wimps, but they were still loyal to me. I can't forgive Mario for disrespecting me!''"

*"''I'm nipping this in the bud right now: I'm going to use the Invincible [[Tubba Blubba]] on Mario. He's the strongest creature I know, after myself... so you should just forget about Mario.''"

 

'''Cutscene after Chapter 3'''

*"''Well, that's strange! YOU TOLD ME [[Tubba Blubba|HE]] WAS INVINCIBLE! How can you beat someone who's invincible?''"

 

*"''Oh, Princess Peach! Your cuddly old Bowser's here!''"

*"''Can't we have a friendly conversation for a change? C'mon! Lemme see a smile!''"

*"''Gwaa ha ha ha!! Oh, you poor, silly girl! I'm invincible with this Star Rod, didn't you know? Mario's no match for me! He's history. Get over it.''"

*"''You! Yeah, you! Tie her up immediately! If she gets out this time, heads will roll!''"

*"''What is [[Twink|this whining little glittering thing]]? Confetti? Gah! Buzz off!''"

*(to his guards) "''Take the princess! Now! Let's move!''"

 

'''First encounter in Chapter 8'''

*"''Gwa ha ha ha ha!! If it isn't my old pal, Mario! I've been waiting for you... I'm amazed that you managed to come this far.''"

*"''You've been a distraction for waaaaaay too long, little man! It'll be a pleasure to squash you personally!''"

*"''Gosh, you're not bad! How'd you get so strong?! Still, you're just an annoyance. That was like a warm-up for me.''"

 

*"''Ooooohhhh, YES!!! Kammy Koopa! That was incredible! I feel like I'm exploding with power! Now, I'll be able to squash this cheeky plumber!''"

*"''Hey, Mario! It's not gonna be like before, you mustachioed loser! Prepare to be beaten!!''"

*"''What's the matter, Mario!?! Feeling a bit under the weather?''"

*"''Mario, if you're still standing, you should just give up! You'll never defeat me!''"

*"''Ohhhhhhh, NOOO!!!!''"

*"''Mario defeated me...again...he always defeats me... This time I became invincible! And I STILL couldn't beat him!''"

 

 

*"''You left me behind...! How could you!?''"

*"''Gah ha ha ha!!!! I've been waiting for you, [[Mario]]! Bwa ha ha ha har!''"

*"''The strongest! And the coolest! Behold the glory that is the great Evil [[Bowser|King Bowser]]!! It's time for me to beat these foolish ideas out of you! Saving [[Princess Peach|Peach]]? Please!! Watch this and weep!!''"

*"''Gah ha ha ha!! I am invincible! You are powerless before me!''"

*"''What's the matter with you?! This isn't even funny! You can't even touch me!?''"

*"''Gah ha ha ha!!! Oh…ha ha…you're so weak…ho ho…I can't stop laughing…''"

*"''Ugh, you're pathetic! Are you always this weak? The sequel should be called 'Paper Bowser'!''"

*"''Oh, no!! That costume was perfect!! Bowser loved it!''"

 

 

*"''Wow, this castle is absolutely breathtaking, don't you think? I wish I could stay here at Princess Peach's Castle forever.''" - Bumpty at Princess Peach's Castle

 

 

 

*"''Who comes to [[Crystal Palace|my palace]]!?''"

*"''[[Mario]]...You finally arrived! I know you believe you can save [[Kalmar|the Star Spirit]], but I'm afraid I won't let you. First I shall defeat you, then I shall present [[Bowser]] with an iced [[Mario]] gift!''"

*"''Oh no! The last Star Spirit!! King Bowser, forgive meeeeee!!''"

 

*"''Hey, I have a Second-Degree Card, too!''"

*"''Oh, awesome! I can't believe that I'm as strong as you are, Mario!''"

 

*"''Everybody just calm down. As long as [[Star Spirits|we]] keep it together there's always hope. Now... Our fates are in [[Mario|Mario's]] hands. We must try to revive him. Gather round, everyone. Send Mario your power!''"

*"''Mario, we need you to come to [[Shooting Star Summit]].''"

*"''Welcome, [[Mario]]! We've been waiting for you.''"

*"''We're the 7 [[Star Spirits]]. Our job is to grant the wishes of good people from our home in [[Star Haven]], a place high beyond the sky. We're going to tell you something incredibly important. Please listen carefully.''"

*"''The other day, [[Bowser]] and [[Koopa Troop|his followers]] invaded our peaceful Star Haven. They stole our prized treasure, the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]], which we've cared for since the beginning of time.''"

*"''In order to take the Star Rod back from Bowser...and save [[Princess Peach]]... we need your help... Please, Mario... you are our last hope... and we will...''"

*"''I think it's time we returned to Star Haven. All of the Stars are waiting for us there, no doubt. Good-bye, Mario! May the stars forever shine brightly upon you!''"

*"''Beyond here lies dark and gloomy [[Forever Forest]]. You’ll get lost for sure, so I advice you not to enter.''"

*"''Brrrrrrrr... Juh...Just now, [[Bootler|a ghost]] passed right in front of [[Fice T.|me]]... Uhhh...[[Mario|You]] saw it, didn't you?''"

*"''No…You must have!!''"

*"''I...I'm not the only one!!''"

*"''Over there----!!!!!''"

*"''No, no, the other way---!!!''"

*"''It went into the [[Forever Forest|forest]]!''"

*"''Ma... Mario, this madness has to end. Will you go into the forest and see what's going on? I'm ashamed to say it's my job, but I just can't go. I'm too frightened of ghosts! Puh... Please, I'm begging you.''"

 

 

*"''Lady Bow is the very definition of grace, beauty and dignity! No other Boo could fill her shoes as master of the mansion. If she wore shoes, that is. When I behold the lady, my heart goes pit-a-pat!♥''"

 

*"''Waaaah! Who dat!!''"

*"''What d'you think you're doin' with that [[Watt|light]]?''"

*"''Ouch! That hurt! What are you doing!?''"

*"''Hey, fella! You wanna piece o' this?''"

*"''You got it! I'm ornery as all get out! Prepare for some pain!''"

*"''Shucks! First I think I get away from that [[Fishmael|ol' fishin' man]]... and then I get all swallowed up by some [[Whale|huge fish]]... and then [[Mario|this fella with the mustache]] goes upside my head.''"

*"''I've just been fallin' outta fryin' pans into fires since I was just a grub. Talk about a lousy lot of life.''"

*"''Hey, it's you, boy! You're that [[Whale|dumb ol' fish]] that ate me all up and such!''"

*"''You plumb idiot! You know, I thought I was a goner for sure!''"

*"''Well, I suppose I can see my way to forgivin' you this time, but you just watch it.''"

*"''Er... I reckon I owe you some thanks, after all, [[Mario|Mr. Mustache]].Y'all take care, now.''"

 

 

 

 

 

*"''It's my dolly! Dolly, dolly! You're back!! Thank you so much!♥ I'm so happy… My sweet dolly! Don't you ever get lose again!''"

*"''Hey [[Mario]]! I'm [[Goombario]]. I'm your biggest fan!''"

*"''Huh? Hey… That dolly you've got… That's the one Goombaria lost! She was looking all over for it. Would you give it back to her?''"

*"''Aw, that's just mean, Mario… I guess you can just give it back when you're done with it.''"

*"''Mario, I know all about your adventures around the world. You've been everywhere! And you always get the best of the bad guys. Everytime! You're the coolest! I wanna be just like you!''"

*"''Seriously, you don't know what this means for me to meet you.''"

*"''I study self-defense by reading books from the masters....''"

*"''Be quiet, [[Goombaria]]! You're embarrassing me! Of course, it IS true...''"

*"''Mario could beat [[Bowser]] with one arm tied behind his back!''"

*"''[[Merluvlee|She]]'s incredible! I think I'm in love! Pinch me, will you, Mario?''"

*"''Mario... It looks like things are a lot more serious than I thought... Do you think the [[Princess Peach|princess]] is going to be all right? I'm really worried about her.''"

*"''There [[Twink|he]] goes again. What a brave little guy.''"

*"''Hey...you're Jr. Troopa! Are you following us? You need to mellow out!''"

*[to Luigi] "''I'm Goombario. Nice to meet you!''"

*"''Hey, we made it, Mario! We got out of the forest!''"

*"''It's about time... Say, don't you think that's the mansion the old Boo was talking about?''"

*"''Mario...If they catch you, they'll carry you out of the castle.''"

*"''Don't you think you can hide from them by using one of our party member's abilities?''"

*"''Tubba Blubba's waking up! Let's get outta here!''"

*"''No! You'll all be eaten when he comes through that door!''"

*"''Why, it's Jr. Troopa! Have you been crying? Did you get lost in there?''"

*"''What's your problem? You don't actually think Mario did it, do you?''"

*"''Awesome! You rule, Mario!''"

*"''Oh, we're hurting, Mario! The Star Beam doesn't work!''"

*"''Hey [[Parakarry]], what's up? I thought you were back at work delivering letters.''"

*"'' Huh? From [[Princess Peach]]!? Whoa! What's she writing to me for?''"

*"''See you later, [[Parakarry]]! Keep working hard, buddy!''"

*"''Jeepers! This is an invitation to a party at [[Peach's Castle|Princess Peach's castle]]!''"

*"''You always seem to beat up your enemies... Do you work out?''"

==[[Goompa]]==

*"''Oh! Well now! I believe that's the dolly that [[Goombaria]] said she lost! She'll no doubt be overjoyed if you give it back to her.''"

*"''So many people lose things all over the place, you know. It almost makes one feel like looking around everywhere…''"

==[[Goompapa]]==

*"''Howdy, [[Mario]]! Feeling better? Feel free to rest in our house. You what? You have to leave right now? ...Oh, Shooting Star Summit. Something important, no doubt. Well, I believe that the summit is near Toad Town. You'll have to wait a bit. I have to fix this gate before you can head out to the east. That earthquake the other day really did a job on it. Did you feel that quake? Shoot! I thought the sky was falling. Just relax and don't worry. I'll have this fixed in a jiffy.''"

*"''Hoo! What a job! Sorry to have kept you waiting. The gate is finally fixed. If you take this road straight ahead, you'll eventually reach [[Toad Town]], the home of [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. I believe that [[Shooting Star Summit]] is just beyond there. It's too bad you can't stay... I feel like I just met you! But duty calls, I know. Come back and visit if you can.''"

*"''I just fixed that gate...Nobody say 'gate' to me...''"

*"''[[Kammy Koopa]], that fiend! Did you hear what she said about the princess? It didn't sound good. I hope nothing's happened to her...''"

*"''Ummmmmmm... Oh, here's an idea! Maybe we can break this block with [[Goompa|Goompa's]] big Hammer! I think he's using it now to fix the veranda. Go ask him for it, will you?''"

*"''If it's at all possible for you, could you deliver this to a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] named [[Muss T.]]? He hangs around the castle garden.''"

*"''I'd really appreciate it.''"

==[[Gourmet Guy]]==

*"''Nooooooo! Haaaaackpth! Aw, disgusting! This is awful!''"

*"''Where'd you learn to cook, Truck Driving School? Go back to the kitchen and follow a recipe or something!''"

*"''What ingredients did you use in that monstrosity?''"

*"''Whatever they were, I think they were seriously wrong!''"

*"''I'll never eat such a nasty creation again, I tell you! I swear... trying to poison me...''"

*"''Go back down there and make something good, will you?''"

*"''Bloooaaahhhhhhh!!!! Welcome, worm! I'm called the Guard Door of [[Bowser's Castle]]. It's my job to keep suspicious types from entering. You must be [[Mario]]. Let me guess... Do you want to go through here? Hmm? You want to get to the other side of this wall, right?''"

*"''Well, if you don't want to go through here, then you're wasting my time. Go away! Now!''"

*"''What's the matter with you? You want to go through here, don't you?''"

*"''OK then… Heh heh heh… Stand in front of me.''"

*"''Are you standing squarely in front of me? OK... Then...I'll let you go through.''"

*"''Gaaaah ha ha ha ha!! You fell for it, worm! You'll never escape from that impenetrable prison! Try all you like! All you'll do is exhaust yourself! I'll tell you what: If you make it back up here, I'll let you go through. How's that? Ahhh ha ha ha! I know you'll never make it! I hope you have a good time shaking and crying down there! Gah ha ha ha ha ha!!!''"

*"''You won't make it any further. Because, unfortunately for you, I won't let you pass.''"

 

 

 

*"''Are you a man named [[Mario]]? And did you or did you not break one [[Puff Puff Machine]]? What possessed you to do that? You completely ruined my plan to cover [[Flower Fields]] in clouds! You see, I was going to turn this sunlight-blasted place into a cloud-covered paradise! But I can't expect a man of your intellect to understand…''"

*"''Is that you, [[Lakilester|Spike]]!? So! You have betrayed me! You will be punished. I was given this [[Klevar|Star Spirit]] by King Bowser. I'll never give up to the likes of you! You will both pay dearly for your crimes!''"

*"''I must tell you, King Bowser ordered me to defeat you if you showed your face…but I'd take you down even if it weren't a direct order! You cloud-destroying pest! You can't save the [[Klevar|Star Spirit]]! Gahh ha ha ha ha ha!!! Here comes the storm!''"

*"''Yes, take him!''"

*"''You asked for it...Now you'll witness the full [[Charged|power of my storm]]!''"

*"''I've got a surprise attack. Just give me a little time to prepare.''"

*"''We seem to be in trouble. Hmm… I guess I'd better stop messing around and fight hard!''"

*"''We're not finished yet!!! Here I come!!!!''"

*"''No!! I cannot lose!!''"

 

*"''Lady Bow told me not to sell any items to Mario. You're him.''"

*"''Who are [[Mario|you]] [[Goompa|guys]]!? This is my playground, idiots!''"

*"''Nobody sets foot in here without my permission! Nobody!''"

*"''Prepare to start crying at the feet of Master Jr. Troopa!''"

*"''Grrrr!! I'm just getting warmed up!''"

*"''All right, you asked for it! Say hello to Jr. Troopa's special attack!''"

*"''Full power!!''"

*"''Shoooooot!! I was winning, too! I'll be back, Mario!''"

*"''I mean it, I'll be back!!''"

*"''Hold it right there, [[Mario]]! I've been waiting for you!!''"

*"''I told you I'd be back! Now I'll get my revenge! Here it comes, baby!''"

*"''Check this out!''"

*"''Dwaaaahhhhhh!''"

*"''[[Mario]]! I'm talking to you! I promise you, this fight will be much different from before!''"

*"''Shut up!!!!!''"

*"''You! [[Mario]]!! Of course you remember me!?''"

*"''That's right! Darn tootin'! I'm Jr. Troopa!''" (When selecting Yes)

*"''This time, you're really gonna see some fireworks!''"

*"''Whaaaat! Darn it! You don't remember me?!''" (When selecting No)

*"''Listen, you...you big lug! My name is Jr. Troopa! Remember it and tremble!''"

*"''After this beating, you'll definitely remember it!''"

*"''Get ready to hurt, [[Mario]]! I'm gonna show you a new skill I just picked up!''"

*"''Yeah! Check that out! You've never seen anything like it before, have you?''"

*"''Your attacks are useless now!!''"

*"''Yeeowch!! Who knew that [[Mario]] had such battle skills?''"

*"''Grrr...it's not over yet, though! Yaaaaaaaahhh!!!!!''"

*"''Nooooo! Waaahh! Bugs! Get 'em off me!''"

*"''I'm lost in a freaky forest! S-s-so s-scared...''"

*"''Eeeek!''"

*"''Oh, [[Mario]]! Oh, thank... ...I mean, ah HA!''"

*"''Boy, are you unlucky to run into me again!''"

*"''Shut up! Shut uuuuuupp! I'm not a lost child! I'm your worst nightmare!''"

*"''Here comes the pain!''"

*"''Don't think I'm as vulnerable as I was before.''"

*"''Check this out! More power!!''"

*"''Ha ha! Yeah, that's right! Let's see how you like the new, improved Jr. Koopa!''"

*"''Nooooo! Darn it! Darn it!! Darn iiiiiit!!!''" (Defeated)

*"''Wooooooooooooooooooooooh!!''"

*"''Wheez Wheez Wheez…''"

*"''Shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!!!!''"

*"''Wooooooooooooooooooo!!''"

*"''I'll... never... go... swimming... again... for the rest... of my life!''"

*"''Here it comes! You… you’d better be ready!''"

*"''Gasp! Oh, no! All that swimming! My HP is almost gone!''"

 

*"''Brrrraaah ha ha ha! Brrr! I've been waiting for you, [[Mario|Mariooooooooo]]!''"

*"''I've been here forever! I was getting desperate! I thought I was gonna freeze! [[Shiver Snowfield|This place]] is freezing, and cold, and nasty and icy! I hate it!''"

*"''I can't take it anymore!!''"

*"''I gotta get out of [[Shiver Snowfield|here]]!''"

*"''You ready, [[Mario|ice-boy]]? Let's do it!!''"

*"''Oh, I've been busy, Mario! I learned cooool techniques! Check this out! Aah hahhhhhhh!''"

*"''Look at that piece of work! I've been taking a little magic course on the side! And now, [[Mario|you're]] gonna be my final exam! Yeah! I've gotta win this time!''"

*"''Ha ha ha ha!! That felt fantastic! I just keep on getting better!''"

*"''Nooooo!!''"

*"''Uaaaaaaghhhh!!! I found you, [[Mario]]!!!!!''"

*"''Dwahhhhhhhhh!!! At last! [[Mario|You're]] mine! It was a pain find you, you know? Today, at long last, I'll settle my score with you!''"

*"''Here it comes, [[Mario]]!! This is the final fight!!! Only one of us is walking away from this battle!''"

*"''Darn it!!!!! OK, try this on for size!! Ultimate Power!''"

*"''Shoooot!!!!!!!!!!! OK, maybe something else... How about this!!!???''"

*"''Darn it!! Darn it, darn it! Don't think you've won, [[Mario]]! I swear to you, I'm gonna beat you so bad next time!!''"

*"''But [[Bowser]] has the [[Star Rod]]! Now he's mightier than [[Mario]]! It's hopeless! All is lost!''"

*"''Alas... We've nearly exhausted our power to talk to you. Although it looks like we're there beside you, it is only an illusion. We're using all of our strength to communicate with you over a great distance. But even now, our strength is fading...''"

*"''We've been caught and are being held by Bowser's followers in different places throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Please, Mario, first of all, you must rescue us!''"

*"''Well done, [[Mario]]. My name is Kalmar. Thank you for coming. You have successfully rescued all of us [[Star Spirits]]. We are in your debt. Now all that is left is for you to challenge [[Bowser]]. My power should help you to beat him, to bring back the Star Rod, to restore peace to the Mushroom Kingdom, and... to save Princess Peach.''"

*"''Congratulations on your victory, [[Bowser|Your Viciousness]]! That's why you're the king!''"

*"''Weird? Why [[Goombaria|you]] little... I am a beautiful [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] with a beautiful name, Kammy Koopa!''"

*"''Mario! Hear this! It is useless for you to try to save Princess Peach now. Ridiculous! Laughable! As you have seen, King Bowser is more powerful than even you can deal with this time.''"

*"''You will kneel and weep when you see all the wonderful changes that King Bowser's made! Your world is ours now!!''"

*"''The [[Goomboss|Goomba King]] was small-time. I had a feeling he'd fail.''"

*"''As long as you hold the Star Rod in your hands, you could defeat [[Mario]] with one claw tied behind your back!''"

*"''Sell it, [[Koopa Bros.]]! Show our [[Bowser|king]] that technique you do so well!''"

*"''I'm not sure we can entirely trust what the princess tells us about Mario's weak points, but I'll do as you say.''"

*"''Guards! Attention! Take Princess Peach back to her room at once!''"

*"''Nyeah heh heh...Perfect. Mario hates this [[mushroom|thing]], so he'll surely turn back.''"

*"''And you call yourself a hero? Did you think we were foolish enough to sit back while you save all the [[Star Spirits]]? I have constructed a device that increases Bowser's power, where even the power of the Star Spirits can't compare! Now, King Bowser will truly be invincible, thanks to my wisdom! Are you ready, my king? Then power up!''"

*"''[[Twink|You]] insolent little [[Star Kid]]! How dare you!!''"

*"''You little whippersnapper... You're too young to fight me!''"

*"''Nyeah heh ho ha... Did I just feel a breeze? Or was that really your attack?''"

*"''Why does it seem like this Star Kid is getting stronger!?''"

*"''Wait, I remember now! The [[Stars]] get all their power from ordinary peoples' wishes! [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s wishes must be making that Star Kid stronger! Oh... Oh, no!!''"

*"''Forgive me, Lord Bowser... for I have failed you...''"

*"''Your Kingship, the battle with Mario was so intense that my device for increasing your power must have started malfunctioning. It's entirely screwed up, and its power appears to be heading back into your castle.''"

*"''I hate to tell you this, but both your castle and this platform are about to explode. We must flee, my evil king! We have no other choice!''"

*"''I've come back! I'm sure you missed me! I've got a foolproof plan for coins. See you on the road! Kent C. Koopa''" (Message on sign)

*"''Hey, [[Mario|you in the hat]]! Wait!''"

*"''If you want to use [[Pleasant Path|this road]], you need to pay me 100 [[coin]]s. So sorry, but that's how it is. You don't pay, you don't pass.''"

*"''Coins make the world go round. It's all about the money!''"

*"''Oh, you don't have any coins? Then you can't go through.''" (Not enough coins)

*"''Bring some coins next time.''"  

*"''You want to fight? You're nuts! Look at me! I'll cream you!''" (When challenging Kent)

*"''Because, to be frank, I'm very, very, very strong. Are you sure you want to fight?''"

*"''Well, I have no choice... I warned you, though. This may hurt a little bit...''" (When confirming fight)

*"''I guess I have to give up. See you later...''"

*"''Once we 7 [[Star Spirits]] are reunited in Star Haven, we can give you the power to fight Bowser even with his newfound strength. With our help, you can prevail!''"

*"''Now, you are able to use powers from six out of seven Star Spirits. Mine, if you use it well, should prove to be extremely helpful in battle. Don't become overconfident, though -- you must be careful. Bowser has power as well. Remember that even stronger enemies await you. I hope our powers may help you so that you may help us... We're all depending on you!''"

*"''I hope Bowser learned something from all of this. Maybe he'll behave himself now... But I suppose the chances of that are very slim.''"

*"''Well, what ill luck! No clues about the ruins! I'm getting so frustrated I just might have to give up the excavation for now… How very sad…''"

*"''I say…? Mario, that artifact you hold in your hand… It looks like… It looks quite important! Do my eyes deceive me, or is that a clue to Dry Dry Ruins? Mario! Old chum! I beg of you! Could you possibly part with it?''"

*"''Cheers, Mario! Smashing, really, old boy! Soon now, the mysterious Dry Dry Ruins will rise from the sands that conceal them! As a brilliant archaeologist, I say it must be so! I suppose a thank-you gift is in order, eh, old boy? Here you go, then!''"

*"''Hmmm... Who am I, you say? Why, my dear chap, I am none other than Kolorado, famed adventurer and archaeologist. I'm touring the world! And you're Mario, yes? What are you doing here?''"

*"''Well, I for one am traveling bravely to [[Lavalava Island]] in the southern sea to solve a diabolical mystery. It would seem that there are ancient treasures waiting in a volcanic cave. I'm in a bit of a fix, though. No way to get there, you see. Hmmm... Think now, Kolorado! How to cross the sea...''"

*"''Pardon the eavesdropping, but did you just say "anywhere"? Mario! You old tuna tamer! Accompany me to the shores of Lavalava Island! What a trip it'll be! The island will be wonderful! You must trust my instincts!''"

*"''What's that sound? Kids with fireworks, no doubt!''"

*"''By the [[Stars]], I'll risk my life for that treasure!''"

*"''Ah-ha! Treasure! No, wait... Some sort of [[Misstar|starfish]]??''"

*"''You...you are giving it to me?! Oh. glory! Marvelous!!''"

*"''Yes, hm! I suppose... It's only proper that I give this to you as thanks.''"  

*"''[[Mario|Dear man]], you are simply the cat's meow!''"

*"''I hereby declare this adventure to be a complete success!''"

*"''This [[Whale|tuna]]-ferring experience, I shan't do again. I'm in your debt, though.*''"

*"''Well, I'm back in the [[Koopa Village|village]]. It's rather nice, eh, old boy? Adventure is all well and good, but one's home is really tops!*''"

*"''Psssst... To tell the truth, old bean, I'm itching to search for the lost palace in the north. But tut-tut! Mum's the word as far as the wife's concerned!*''"

*"''Oh, what poppycock! Balderdash! Don't be daft, [[Kooper|dear boy]]! It would be terribly impolite to turn down such an invitation! It would ruin the party if the hero of [[Koopa Village]], nay, the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] weren't there! Go to that party this instant, and don't spare me another thought!''"

*"''[[Parakarry|Puh...Puh... Parakarry]]! Why didn't you tell me this sooner!? This is a crisis, old boy! I must away with all due speed!''"

 

*"''Oh, little [[Kooper]] is going to go on Mario's adventure? How cute... Take care!''"

 

 

 

 

 

*"''I don't even care that I have no [[Kooper's Shell| shell]] on! I'm gonna show those [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] what's what!''"

*"''I swear that I, Kooper, will follow [[Mario|you]] anywhere, even to the ends of the earth!''"

*"''Oh-oh. We're in trouble! Tubba Blubba woke up! Let's go!''"

*"''Are you nuts! That Tubba Blubba will make a meal out of you guys!''"

*"''Hey, Mario. It looks like this kid is lost.''"

*"''Who are [[Duplighost|you]]? Tell me your name!''"

*"''Why, that's ridiculous! I'm the genuine Kooper!''"

*"''That's fine with me!''"

*"''I'm not worried… I believe in you, Mario. We go away back...''"

*"''Ow! Unbelievable! You don't even recognize me?''"

*"''You deceitful monster! How dare you try to trick Mario!''"

*"''Don't be such a crybaby! You lost! What were you thinking, trying to trick Mario like that!?''"

*"''Mario! Ow! You did that on purpose, didn't you!? That's just plain mean!''"

*"''I knew you'd get it right, Mario! Those were some of the worst disguises ever!''"

*"''Thanks. I knew you'd say that, Prof. [[Kolorado]]! You're so kind and generous!''"

*"''Oh no, Mario! The Star Beam isn't working!''"

*"''[[Mario|You]] would have had to fight [[Tubba Blubba]] to save [[Skolar|this Star Spirit]] anyway, right?''"

*"''These things will try to catch us and throw us out.''"

*"''Oh no, he's awake! We have to run!''"

*"''It's too dangerous! He's a madman! He'll eat every last one of [[Boo|you]]!''"

*"''Blech! [[Tubba's Heart|You]] wish! You don't have a chance, you ghost-gobbling freak!''"

*"<big><big>''Gwaah ha ha ha!"</big></big>''

*"''Is that OK, Mario? Of course it's OK, right?''"

*"''Done. You're so lucky to be able to travel with me.''"

*"''You don't have to be polite. You won't have to worry about anything anymore as long as I'm with you.''"

*"''Who is [[Jr. Troopa|this kid]]? What a dirty little urchin...''"

*"''He must be lost...''"

*"''I was with him the whole time. I swear on my own grave! Mario's innocent!''"

*"''Phew... Finally, that hot lava cooled off.''"

*"''Hey hey hey! Hold up! Wait, man!''"

*"''Hey, man! I don't think we've ever met, have we? I mean, you're Mario, right?''"

*"''My name is Lakilester... Er, no, it's Michael... No, um... Oh yeah... Spike. Yeah yeah, I'm Spike... Well whatever. Never mind.''"

*"''Look, I don't have a problem with you personally, but I've got orders from [[Huff N. Puff]]''"

*"''Sorry, man, but I have to give you a bit of a beat down. Like I said, man, sorry!''"

*"''(...Did I sound cool?)''"

*"''(Yeah, totally cool!)''"

*"''Here it comes, man!!''"

*"''Uuurgh!! Man, you're tough as nails! I give up, man!''"

*"''Go on...do your worst. I'm not afraid of it.''"

*"''Do whatever you do to guys you've defeated...[[Fire Flower]] in the eye...[[POW Block]]...''"

*"''Aw no, [[Lakilulu]]!!''"

*"''Ah, no! Don't call me Lakilester! That's not my name. It's Spike, see? I told [[Lakilulu|you]] I changed my name last month! Come on!''"

*"''Stop calling me Lakilester! It's such a stupid name! My name is Spike! SPIKE! Are you even listening to me!?''"

*"''Hey, I've got a question, man. What in the world are you doing all this fighting for?''"

*"''….Huh. Yeah…fighting for yourself… That's the way to go, man. Walkin' your own path with honor. I can get behind an ideal like that! I'll go with you! I'm completely fed up with the pointless jobs that Huff N. Puff threw my way, anyway. With you, I can improve my skills by taking on the enemies that challenge us along the way!''" (For myself)

*"''World peace? Isn't that a bit melodramatic? Still, I must admit that there's a certain manly charm to having such a noble purpose… Yeah! That's the way to go! I'm going with you, man!''" (For world peace)

*"''Man, you're a cool customer. You're out there every day risking life and limb just because you feel like it? Wow. Talk about a tough guy. You know what? I wanna fight just because I feel like it! I'm going with you!''" (No reason)

*"''Why? Because Spike is a million times cooler! Lakilester is the dumbest name ever! It just doesn't fit the image of a dangerous rebel like me. The name doesn't matter, man! What matters is this… I've decided I'm going with you! You're the real deal! Travelling around with you has gotta be as cool as it gets!''" (Why Spike?)

*"''You're so much cuter when you show me those pearly whites.''"

*"''Bwa ha ha! Look at [[Koopa Troop|those chumps]] run away!''"

*"''Helping people... I could get used to this, man.''"

*"''Darn it, I told you not to call me Lakilester! Gah! You never listen to me! ...But that's why [[Lakilulu|you're]] so cute.''"

*"''Wait!!!!!''"

*"''Please have mercy on my poor, sweet [[Lakilester]]!''"

*"''He was just following [[Huff N. Puff]]'s orders! Will you forgive him?''"

*"''He's really sweet! Please don't take my Lakilester away from me!!''"

*"''Oh, [[Mario|you]]'ll forgive him? Oh, thank you!''"

*"''I swear, if you make me worry, I'll take a Spiny and...''"

*"''How are you doing, Lakilester? Are you becoming a better [[Lakitu]] by helping people?''"

 

 

 

*"''Oh, how awful… You weren't my prince… Well…I knew you must not be. …After all, you don't look anything like a prince…💎In case you care, the Water Stone looks like this. If you find it somewhere, please bring it to me! I'm withering as we speak!''"

*"''What a [[Peach's Castle|magnificent castle]]! I never get used to this place. It looks like lots of guests are already here.''"

*"''Say, Mario, why don't you go see Princess Peach? I'll go later. I'm thinking I'll mingle for now.''"

*"''If you press {{button|n64|A}} in front of the door up there, you can open it.''"

*"''I wonder what my brother Mario is doing right now...''"

*"''Mario! It's you! It's great to see you!''"

*"''Oh? And who are [[Party member|you]]?''"

*"''I see. Great, just great. You're on an exciting adventure with Mario. Talk about unfair. See, someone has to look after [[Mario Bros.' House|this house]], so I can't leave. Oh well. Take care of Mario, OK?''"

*"''Good luck, Mario! You just have to save that [[Princess Peach|princess]]!''"

*"''All right, Mario. I'm just gonna go on ahead. There's something important that I have to do. What is it? Sorry, bro... It's top secret!''"

*"''Oh, thank heavens! He's been gravely injured, but I think he'll recover.''"

*"''The Star Rod... is powerful beyond belief. It can grant any wish. For as long as [[Star Spirits|we]] can remember, [[Bowser]] has been making wishes like, for instance... 'I'd like to trounce [[Mario]]' or 'I want [[Princess Peach]] to like me.' Of course, [[Star (species)|Stars]] ignore such selfish wishes. As a result, his wishes were never granted.''"

*"''For now, I'm going back to recover in Star Haven. Who knows how my dear old Star Haven is faring without the Star Rod? Goodbye, Mario! I'm off!''"

*"''Merlon is out!''"

*"''Why do [[Mario|you]] keep knocking!? I said Merlon is out!''"

*"''Where to begin...? My name...is Merlon. I am a wizard. When I was reading the stars the other day, an oracle came to me. What I discovered is very important, and it concerns you. But, before I tell you about it, there are other things of which I must speak. It is a very long story, but I'll try to shorten it. Where should I start...? It was in the old days. One of my ancestors was up on [[Shooting Star Summit]] and as usual... ......but one day it happened. ...suddenly...a great... ...appeared and I... ...standing face to face... Then, the faraway.... the pious... was....raised me up... .....was amazing.. ..I was still so young then... I believed in ......... But....our hearts were..... ........... and........... .....then.... ...........so.....''"

*"''Reveal [[Toad (species)|your]] [[Koopa Brothers|true selves]]!''"

 

 

 

*"''Uhhhh... You know, I'm really kind of busy and... Oh! Yeah! I just had the greatest idea! Let's ask [[Fearsome 5|that Yoshi Kid]] from [[Yoshi's Village]] to come. You just got a letter from that kid last week, didn't you? You know! That letter you got from the island? Let's send a letter back to him and tell him about the scary adventure we're gonna have. Hey! [[Parakarry|Mr. Postman]]! Take this letter to the red Yoshi Kid in Yoshi's Village!''"

*"''Hmmmm... I don't know. Let's think about it later. By the way, I wanna ask you for a favor, Mr. Parakarry. Can you deliver this? It's a letter for Uncle [[Frost T.]] of Starborn Valley. He's my uncle. He's up there taking care of lots of [[Star Kid]]s. It sounds like a hard job. He has to chase 'em around all the time. At least that's what he says in the letters he sends. Anyway, I wrote him a letter to take his mind off work. I know it's far from here, but I'd really appreciate it.''"

*"''Sadly... right now, [[Mario|you]] are not strong enough to challenge Bowser... he has made himself all-powerful by making wishes with the Star Rod. He is terrible to behold!''"

 

 

*"''.......... Phew... Oh, pardon me. I got really wrapped up there.''"

 

*"''I don't know. Nobody knows. That's why it's a secret, [[Koopatrol|you half-wit]]!''"

*"''Sorry, [[Princess Peach]]!''"

*"''Wha… What're you looking at? I… I'm not looking for the book you think I'm looking for! I swear! No fooling! I'm trying to study…something! Here, take this and go away!''"

*"''It is the responsibility of the 7 Star Spirits to keep the Star Rod safe and use it properly. We must get the Star Rod back from Bowser and return it to its rightful place! In order to do this, Mario, we need your help!''"

*"''Phew! Ahhh... fresh air! After being cooped up in [[Shy Guy's Toy Box|there]] for so long, I could really use some outdoor exercise.''"

*"''Mario, I must thank you for saving me. Now it's my turn to help you.''"

 

==[[Muss T.]]==

*"''I can't believe that Princess Peach's Castle was here just a little while ago. Wow! I was in the castle when it started to shake, but my lightning-quick feet got me out. ''"

*"''Even now, I still take walks to Shooting Star Summit. I have so many beautiful memories of trekking up there to see the Stars. Now, though... Now we can't see any stars at all. How I miss them...''"

 

*"''Um-kay. So that's your story. You're invited to [[Boo's Mansion]].''"

 

*"''No, you mustn't do that!!''"

*"''Stop it! Cut it out, [[Bowser]]!! You're changing the story!!''"

*"''Mail call!''"

*"''The name's [[Parakarry]]. I deliver letters.''"

*"''Uh…? That… looks like the letter I'm looking for… My mistake, perhaps…?''"

*"''Thank [[Mario|you]] so much! Now, I've got all the letters I've lost... today.''"

*"''In return, I would offer you whatever help I can.''"

*"''I see. May I ask why not? Please, Mario, I'm in a bind! You'd really save my shell!''"

*"''You're [insert name here], correct? I believe I have a letter for you. Hang on...''"

*"''Oh…no! Confound it! I seem to have lost it! …I'm terribly sorry.''"

*"''Another letter, duly delivered. A postman's job is never done.''"

*"''Another letter, duly delivered. A postman's work is never done.''"

*"''You're Luigi, correct? The name's Parakarry. I'm helping Mario out on his adventures.''"

*"''Ugh... I'm certainly glad we're out of that forest. Talk about creepy...''"
