*"''Don't be ridiculous! Mario didn't do it!''"

*"''Oh! Mario! You're terrible! You don't even recognize me! Oh, I can't bear it!''"

*"''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]]!''"

*"''It seems cool enough for us to walk on, Mario! We can go now!''"

*"''What's the matter? Why won't the Star Beam work?''"

*"''Phew... Ah, that feels better! It's nice to be back inside my frame after so long!''"

*"''But I didn't even tell [[Mario|you]] to go find the [[Boo's Portrait|drawing]]! You solved the riddle on your own!''"

'''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.''"

*"''Unfortunately for you, there's nothing you can do this time.''"

*"''True, I have had my problems in the past... But this time is different! This time I'm gonna win! Okay, tough guy... Let's go!''"

*"''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!''"

*"''Yup, just as I expected: you're no match for the new me. It's not even worth my time to toy with you anymore, Mario. It's time to end this! Here we go, Mario! Good night!''"

*"''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!''"

*"''Well now, I guess I might as well get rid of Mario. He's no good to anyone now, that's for sure.''"

 

'''Prologue cutscenes'''

*"''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?''"

*"''Those Star Spirits we captured don't have any way of giving Mario their power!''"

*"''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?''"

*"''Did that stupid Mario just find out the secret that made Tubba Blubba invincible, and then beat him!? Gah!!! I despise Mario, really!''"

*"''I won't be satisfied just having Mario beaten up anymore! What we need to do is find his weak point, and then completely humiliate him.''"

*"''For the love of... Why... Why is Princess Peach here?! What's wrong with those guards?''"

*"''Now now, hang on. This is actually good timing, my mischievous princess. We're just discussing the weak points of our mutual friend, Mario.''"

*"''So... Princess Peach... What do you know about Mario's weaknesses? Huh?''"

*"''Perfect choices, Princess. Gwa ha ha ha!! Be sure Mario can't avoid those things that he hates! We'll beat him for sure!''"

*"''My tactics are brilliant! They're pure art! Finally, we will witness the end of Mario! At last! Gwaa ha ha ha ha ha!!''"

 

'''Cutscene after Chapter 7'''

*"''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!''"

*"''Oh, don't be such a pill. You're stuck with me for a long, long time, beautiful. You'd better get used to it.''"

*"''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.''"

*"''Grr! It'd better be important! I'm right in the middle of a friendly chat with the princess.''"

*"''What! Gah! Mar-i-ooooo! OK. Listen, Kammy Koopa. Send everyone to their posts! We'll ambush him the second he enters my castle!!''"

*"''Princess Peach, why don't you come with me to watch... You can have a front-row seat to see Mario get crushed.''"

*"''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!''"

*"''Fool! You can't beat me! I'm invincible!!!''"

*"''Gwa ha ha! All right, Mario, let's see your so-called power!''"

*"''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.''"

 

'''Final battle and defeat'''

*"''Gwa ha ha ha ha!! Welcome to your nightmare!''"

*"''You should thank me, Mario. Since you've been my rival for so long, I've arranged a [[Power Platform|special arena]] for your defeat!''"

*"''Gwa ha ha! Like it?!! You're completely trapped! How does it feel, huh?''"

*"''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!!''"

*"''Gwah ha ha ha! Time to increase my power with my good old Star Rod!''"

*"''You idiot!! That weak little attack doesn't affect me anymore!''"

*"''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!''"

*"''Darn it!!!!!''"

*"''Huh?! What's going on?!! This isn't part of my plan!''"

*(before the [[Power Platform]] is destroyed) "''Are you serious? That's a big problem! Let's get outta here right now!''"

::''Well, the Koopa Bros. got beaten by Mario, diary. He even set free that stupid Star Spirit I kept there. I'm so mad I can barely write! "Ohh, I'm Mario, I'm so big and strong and good and helpful..." I hate him! But I'm not worried. There's no way Mario can save the Star Spirit being held in Dry Dry Ruins. To do that, he'd have to solve the mystery of the sands and then find <span style="color:red">Dry Dry Ruins</span> in <span style="color:red">Dry Dry Desert</span>. How would he even know to go to the desert, anyway? So I'm not worried at all. In fact, I'm so calm I'm gonna go to bed now.''

*"''Bombette!! Oh, Bombette! Where have you been, Bombette?''"

*"''I followed you, but in vain!! What a coldhearted, cruel girl you are...''"

*"''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'!''"

*"''Uhh... I've got rips in a lot of different places here!''"

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

*"''You don't have a Bubble Berry? Not even one? That's too bad. You're really missing out!''"

*"''Oh, we have a guest! Welcome! You poor man, you must be freezing! If you'd like to see my husband, he's in the other room. Please, go right in.''" - [[Mayor Penguin]]'s wife

*"''Ha! I'm not going to help you. I don't socialize with murderers. Get away from me!''" - Bumpty outside Mayor Penguin's house

*"''You! Penguin killer!!!! You just keep your distance! What's that gleam in your eye?! Noooo!!! AIIIIGH! I'm gonna be a murder victim! Please, somebody help me!!!''" - Bumpty outside entrance to Attack FX E badge

*"''There's a rumor that you murdered Mayor Penguin. Did you really do it? I don't think you did. I bet it was that crazy guy I saw running around here the other day. He was weird. You don't look so weird.''" - Bumpty outside Shiver City Toad House

*"''Uh, hello? You're the number one suspect in the Mayor's murder! You can't leave the city! Not until you prove you're innocent!''" - Bumpty blocking the road to [[Shiver Snowfield]]

*"''… I SAID, '…'! I don't talk to penguin-killers.''" Bumpty near dock for the Warehouse Key

*"''You'd better show some evidence if you're really not the one who murdered Mayor Penguin! Until you do, I'm sorry, but I can't let you leave the city. I won't budge from this spot, oh no sirree! I'm serious, now! There's no use trying to move me! …Am I being too rude? Sorry.''" - Bumpty blocking the pipe to [[Toad Town Tunnels]]

*"''Did you know that there's a Dojo in Toad Town?''"

*"''I go there all the time. I finally got my Third-Degree Card the other day.''"

*"''I'm sure you have a much higher ranking than I do, though.''"

*"''What? You don't have anything?''"

*"''Hey… You have… …a First-Degree Card!''"

*"''Heh heh heh. A beginner, huh? I've got a Third-Degree Card.''"

*"''Looks like I'm stronger than you.''"

*"''Hey… You have… …a Second-Degree Card!''"

*"''Heh heh heh. It's a start. I've got a Third-Degree Card.''"

*"''I must be tougher than you.''"

*"''Hey… You have… …a Third-Degree Card!''"

*"''I've got a Third-Degree Card, too!! Cool!''"

*"''We have the same ranking! We're equals!''"

*"''Hey… You have… …a Fourth-Degree Card!''"

*"''Wow, you're strong!''"

*"''I wish I were that strong… I'd better train harder!''"

*"''Hey… You have… …a Diploma…''"

*"''How'd you manage that? You're the strongest guy ever!''"

*"''Hey there!''"

*"''Now give! What's yer name?''"

*"''Mario?!!! Well, I'll be!''" (when selecting Mario)

*"''If yer Mario, I reckon I've got to bust you up!''"

*"''Hmm... Well... [[Luigi]], eh, pard..? You do look like this dude...''" (when selecting Luigi)

*"''Well, yer not Mario, I guess. I reckon you can pass.''"

*"''What's that?! [[Princess Peach]]?!''" (when selecting Princess Peach)

*"''You take me fer a fool?''"

*"''[[Princess Peach]] is captured up there in [[Bowser's Castle]]!''"

*"''You reckon I don't know that? Yer askin' fer it, you big fibber!''"

*"''I'm thinkin' yer [[Mario]]! Prepare fer yer whuppin'!''"

*"''Yow! I got whupped!''"

*"''Kaaaa-wiiiizzz! It's everyone's favorite quizmaster, [[Chuck Quizmo]]!''"

*"''I know it's a pity, but this is our final quiz show. Time for the grand finale!''" (when getting to 64th question)

*"''I'm a man of a million questions, but this is the last one!''"

*"''Want to try the quiz?''"

*"''Then let's go to the question!''" (when choosing "Yes")

*"''Correct!''"

*"''Congratulations! Here's your [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]]!''" (when answering 1st-63rd questions correctly)

*"''A final Star Piece for you! Thanks for playing!''"

*"''You've managed to correctly answer all 64 questions. Incredible!!''"

*"''Never in all my years did I think I'd find someone who had all the answers!''"

*"''This is truly a momentous and exciting day!''"

*"''I no longer have any regrets. I've reached my peak. I can now retire as quizmaster.''"

*"''Hee hee! Really? You flatter me!''"

*"''Perhaps our paths will cross again someday.''"

*"'''Well, well... so long, farewell. 'Til we meet again!''" (end of 1st-63rd question)

*"'''Til then... so long, farewell. Bye!''" (end of 64th question)

*"''Oh, it's Mario! See this fine club I have? I'm gonna introduce you to it. Club…meet Mario!!!''"

*"''So sleepy… So very sleepy… Just lemme catch a quick nap… but don't tell anyone… Zzz… mumble… mumble…''"

*"''Uh…nnnn… …Princess Peach…somewhere around here…close by… Zzz… mumble… mumble…''"

*"''Hey, it's you! Oh no, it's just me. Hello me! Zzz… mumble… mumble…''"

*"''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!!''"

*"''I'm out of new songs.''"

*"''I can't sing a song some composer wrote, either. I have to rock in my own style!''"

*"''I made a wish to the Stars that I'd be inspired to write a ripping tune but so far, zilch. Nothing.''"

*"''Are you aware there's a [[Toad Town Dojo|Dojo]] in [[Toad Town]]? There is!''"

*"''A while ago I took one of the Dojo challenges and did pretty well, I must say. I got a [[Second-Degree Card]].''"

*"''You look pretty strong, so... Huh? You haven't earned any Cards?''"

*"''Sayyyyy… Is that… …a First-Degree Card?''"

*"''Hee hee! I just so happens that I have in my possession a Second-Degree Card!''"

*"''Know what that means? I'm stronger than Mario! Yeah!''"

*"''Sayyyyy… Is that… …a Second-Degree Card?''"

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

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

*"''Sayyyyy… Is that… …a Third-Degree Card?''"

*"''Whooa! That's great! Seriously, that's great, Mario. You must be a powerhouse!''"

*"''Sayyyyy… Is that… …a Fourth-Degree Card?''"

*"''Whooa! I wouldn't want to tangle with you, Mario!''"

*"''Sayyyyy...Is that... ...a [[Diploma]]...!?''"

*"''Whoa! WHOOOAAA! You defeated [[The Master]]!!''"

*"''That's unbelievable, [[Mario]]! Great! Seriously great! I mean, really great!!''"

*"''Baaa ha ha ha ha! You simpleton, Mario! I completely fooled you! Ha!''"

*"''What're you gonna do about it?''"

*"''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!''"

*"''Phew...that's it. That's all we can do right now. [[Mario]]... Please get up... Please...''"

*"''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 [[Bowser's Minions|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...''"

*"''Mario, I believe you'll save us all... From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate all you've done. Thank you. Since you have freed me from my prison, the seal on my power is broken, and I will recover it little by little. As long as an ounce of power remains in me, I shall help you.''"

*"''Mario, you must save the other Star Spirits quickly! If the seven of us come together, we'll be able to bestow upon you a power called the [[Star Beam]]. The Star Beam is the only thing that can counteract the Star Rod, which Bowser wields.''"

*"''I have to go back now... back to Star Haven. I must leave immediately. But I'll always be watching you! Save us all, Mario!''"

*"''Mario, can you hear me? I'm going to open the entrance to Star Way. Enter this path without fear! The Star Way continues all the way up here to Star Haven. We 7 Star Spirits will be waiting for you here. We wish to give you our remaining power. With this power, you will be able to stand up to the Star Rod that Bowser holds. We anxiously await you! Make haste, Mario, to Star Haven!''"

*"''Mario, you finally made it. The time has come to take the fight to Bowser's turf. Now... hold still while we 7 join together to bestow upon you our final power.''"

*"''If you use this power, you can drain the power of the Star Rod whenever Bowser uses it. And one more thing: I have one final gift which should come in handy.''"

*"''This is the legendary [[Star Ship]] of Star Haven. Bowser is keeping his castle way up in the sky. With this ship, however, you can reach it. Climb aboard! On to Bowser's Castle! We will be with you whenever you are in need, so use our powers to help you.''"

*"''What a surprise! I feel... The wishes of all the Stars and everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom are giving us power! Perhaps now we can match Bowser's strength!''"

*"''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.''"

*[if talked to while Lady Bow is active] "''Ma... Mario, behind you!!! Aaaaauuuuugggghhhh!!! Gh... Gh... Ghost!!!''"

*"''Mario, I hear that you're finally going to take on Bowser! You're so brave. I wish I could find courage as deep as yours...''"

*"'''Tis no use, tryin' ter fish with no [[Fuzzipede|caterpillar]]...''"

*"''Gar, what a fix I be in! Well, there's nothin', for it but to find me diff'rent bait.''"

*"''I'd love ter sail the seven seas fishin' fer diff'rent fish.''"

*"''Our lady is joining Mario to defeat Tubba Blubba... Such courage... Such brave beauty... You will need help to beat Tubba Blubba, so please use the shop beneath the mansion.''"

*"''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!♥''"

*"''While Lady Bow is absent, it's our duty as Boos to keep scaring people. How would it look if the Boo mansion stopped being spooky?''"

*(Upon letter delivery) "''Oh, thank you! ... Oh, great, it's finally in! This is from a guy I know who deals in useful items from all over the world. He has a great eye for items. He just got something in that I've wanted for a long time. Oh, it's the coolest thing! Oh, wow, I almost forgot! Could you deliver this for me? Sorry if it's a bother... There's a Toad child in Toad Town named Dane T. Please deliver it to him. He always seems to be playing by the station with his pals. He must like trains. Thanks a Boo!''"

*(During [[Koopa Koot]]'s favor) "''Hey, what can I Boo for you? An errand for Koopa Koot, huh? Too bad for you. Koopa Koot's been known to use people, you know. His motto is, 'If it moves, use it until it drops.' He got in a couple fights over his personality way back when. After one really bad one, he started traveling a lot. This is a photo of us from when he passed through these parts. Take this and say hello to Koopa Koot for me...''"

*"''Princess Peach is such a generous and wonderful lady, just as I was told. It was worth coming to visit.''"

*"''Mario, please come visit us in the Shiver region someday!''"

*"''One of the Star Kids seems to be playing hide-and-seek. You haven't seen him, have you?''"

*"''I swear, the second I take my eyes off him he always runs off somewhere... What a naughty little Star Kid.''"

*"''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.''"

*"''!!!!!!!! Meeeoork! Mario! This'll be fun!''"

*"''So, [[Mario|you]] came, did you? I'm [[General Guy]]. We're following the orders of [[Bowser|King Bowser]] by guarding a [[Muskular|Star Spirit]]. As long as we keep it secure, we have permission to do what ever we want. You hear!? I don't care for you, sir. You are rude, and furthermore, you're trespassing in here. Our [[Shy Guy's Toy Box|Toy Box]] is off limits for the likes of you! The treasures inside this box are for [[Shy Guy]]s only! And that [[Star Spirit|Star Spirit's]] fate is none of your business! Prepare to fight me, sir! TASTE DEFEAT! CHARGE!!''"

*"''Grrr! My high-tech tank defenses don't seem to stand up to that [[Electro Dash|electric attack]]! Quit doing that! It's... it's too powerful! You're breaking the rules of war!''"

*"''You beat my infantry, but that's ALL you'll do!''"

*"''Stand your ground, [[Shy Guy|men]]!''"

*"''You men make me sick!''"

*"''Oh… Mario!? I have to fight Mario?! By myself? Why me? I'm toast…but I have to try! Feel my, uh…wrath, I guess!''"

*"''So, [[Mario]], it's true! You've made it this far.''"

*"''I respect you for that.''"

*"''Unfortunately, this is as far as you'll ever get.''"

*"''Because I, the great and powerful King Goomba, will see to it that you advance no farther!''"

*"''Ready to meet my wrath, [[Mario]]? You'd better be!!''"

*"''Leave him to me!''"

*"''Wh...wh...what!? How could I lose?''"

*"''[[Red & Blue Goomba Bros.|Red Goomba]], you're positive that you hid the switch well, right?''"

*"''Outside the...You idiot! You didn't hide it in here? Mario will find it for sure!''"

*"''[[Mario]]! Good fight and all that! I must warn you, however, if you happen to find a [[! Switch|switch]], you definitely should not press it. It's very dangerous!......you what? You already pressed it!?''"

*"''Oh nooo!!!''"

*"''It really sounded like something fell somewhere around here...''"

*"''Oh... Who could that be?''"

*"''This red shirt, this hat, and this mustache... You know, this really looks like the one and only [[Mario]]! It couldn't be...could it? The real Mario?''"

*"''Hey! Hey! Wake up! C'mon!! Up and at 'em!! Oh no! [[Mario|He]] won't wake up!!! Oh, oh, what am I gonna do!?''"

*"''[[Goompapa|Dad]]!! [[Goompa|Goom-pa]]!! [[Goombario|Goom-ba-rio]]!!!''"

*"''Best of luck, [[Mario]].''"

*"''Whuh...what? What's that, [[Goompapa|Daddy]]!? What's [[Kammy Koopa|that weird flying thing]]?''"

*"''[[Goompapa|Dad]], we've just gotta do something, right? [[Mario]]'s gotta save [[Princess Peach|the princess]]! Nobody else can do it!''"

*"''[[Goompa]], I was very, very worried about you! Really worried!''"

*"''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!''"

*"''Here's a present from me! Look at the pretty glitter!''"

*"''And take this, too!''"

*"''Yeah, [[Goombario]]'s head is hard as a rock now! Tee hee! When he does his [[Headbonk]] move, it really, really hurts!''"

*"''Me too!!''"

*"''Way to go, [[Goombario]]!''"

*"''Hey, [[Goombario]]! What did [[Princess Peach]] write in her letter? Lemme see!''"

*"''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?''"

*"''Hey, what do you know? It looks like the lava cooled off.''"

*"''It looks like it hardened enough to walk on, too.''"

*"''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?''"

*"''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…''"

*"''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.''"

*"''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!!!''"

*"''Grooaaahhhhh!!! Who would've thought you could make it this far?''"

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

*"''Graaa ha ha ha ha ha!!!''"

*"''But…… I guess, if you really want, I'll give you one chance.''"

*"''Because I know there's no way you'll make it anyway. Want to give it a shot?''"

*"''I see… Not up to it… That's a smart choice, because you and I both know you wouldn't be up to my challenge. You just be a good little boy and run along, now…''"

*"''Huh? Why're you still here? Did you change your mind? Have you decided to stop being a baby and challenge me?''"

*"''Grrooaaa ha ha ha ha ha!! This is completely pointless, but I suppose I'll let you try, because, of course, I have such a kind and generous heart… Just joking, worm! Grooahh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!''"

*"''Now! Mario! Do you want to know what I've got in store for you?''"

*"''OK, smart guy, let's get going!''"

*"''Nyuck yuck yuck… What took you so long, Mario? Ready to taste my hammer? Here it comes!!!''"

*"''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 [[Shooting Star (item)|this]] and go away!''"

*"''Why, Mario! Is… Isn't that… my Storeroom Key?''"

*"''Let's get to the bottom of this case right now!''"

*"''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.''"

*"''Welcome to Boo's Shop. How can I scare you today?''"

*"''Boo you very much.''"

*"''Say what? We aren't keeping anything for you, so...BOO!''"

*"''A letter? Oh, right, an order list. Weird. This order's from ...[[Gusty Gulch]]. That's right around the corner! Can't they just come here? Oh, well. My motto is, 'From Boo to you with a smile.' Take this for your trouble.''"

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

*"''Aaaaaaaaaaaah!''" (When attacking a defeated Jr. Troopa)

*"''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)

*"''Oh! I made it out of the forest! I could kiss this ground!''" (At Forever Forest edge)

*"''Yaaaaahoo!''"

*"''Wooooooooooooooooooooooh!!''"

*"''Come back here, you chicken!''"

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

*"''Wooooooooooooooooooo!!''"

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

*"''Now, Mario! You’re mine this time!''"

*"''Ayaaaaaaaaah!''"

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

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

*"''Well, I’ll make up for my low HP by using my new skills!''"

*"''Check this out! <big>More power!!</big>''"

*"''I know all your fighting powers by now, Mario.''"

*"''See my gear? The spike, the wings… You can’t attack me now! I’m the smartest fighter alive!''"

*"''I can’t be defeated! Wa ha ha!''"

 

*"''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]]!''"

*"''I'm going to beat [[Mario|you]] up in record time and head back to some place warm.''"

*"''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!!!???''"

*"''Aaaargh!!! You've still got some skills!!''"

*"''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.''"

*"''Mario, you must make your way back to [[Shooting Star Summit]]. From Shooting Star Summit, we'll prepare the route to Star Haven. The name of this route is [[Star Way]]. Once you travel Star Way, you'll finally reach Star Haven.''"

*"''My only wish is for you to save this precious world. You can do it, Mario. Good-bye for now.''"

*"''No words can express completely how grateful we are for all that you've done. Hope has returned, both to Star Haven and to all of the Mushroom Kingdom. We're in your debt, Mario.''"

*"''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.''"

*"''Uh...I think...That doesn't look like the sort of thing that'd bother Mario.''"

*"''I wonder if I should really trust what Peach says..''"

*"''Nyeah heh heh… Perfect. Mario hates this thing, so he'll surely turn back. Uh… I think… That doesn't look like the sort of thing that'd bother Mario. I wonder if I should really trust what Peach says…''"

*"''"Perfect… Mario really hates these guys so he'll run. Will they really scare him? They seem pretty weak… I'm getting a little suspicious of what Peach tells us…''"

*"''Well...it doesn't matter. King Bowser ordered it and he's the boss!''"

*"''Nyeah heh heh heh!!! Ooh, I can't wait until Mario gets [[Shy Guy's Toy Box|here]]! He's gonna get beaten so bad! He'll probably start crying! Then King Bowser and I will laugh and laugh! Come and get it, Mario! Nyeah heh heh ha!!!!!''"

*"''You... Why you little... Princess Peach! Unbelievable! Out again!! Guards! All of you! Catch this little runaway take her back to her room!''"

*"''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!''"

*"''It's fine weather, isn't it? My name is Kent C. Koopa. Please remember it, OK?''"

*"''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.''"

*"''Then you can't go through here. Tough luck. Take off.''" (Refusing to pay)

*"''Oh, you changed your mind, and now you'll pay the coins?''" (When talking after refusing)

*"''Good doing business with you! Oh, the jingle of coins is so very beautiful.''" (When paying)

*"''Here, go ahead. See you again sometime!''"

*"''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)

*"''Wow. You must be really strong. I mean, beating a guy my size?''" (Defeated)

*"''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!''"

*"''What a pleasure meeting you. My name is Klevar, and I thank you for saving me. Huff N. Puff is gone, so the flowers in Flower Fields can live peacefully once more. I feel that if you hadn't come, Flower Fields would have never seen the light again. Now there is only one of us Star Spirits still trapped. Just one more, Mario! Here... Please use my power as you continue your fight.''"

*"''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'll go back to Star Haven now. I can't wait to get there! I've been terribly worried about everyone!''"

*"''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?''"

*"''Hmmm… Hmmm… Are you quite sure? Oh, bother. Well, I can't force you. I'll just suffer…''"

*"''Mario, if you could see to it to have a change of heart, please give me that artifact!''"

*"''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!''"

*"''You now know a bit of the magic of the desert. Cherish the memory, old boy!''"

*"''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...''"

*"''Oh, good heavens! I was wondering what this was. It seems to be a huge tuna!''"

*"''Hmm... I say... Old boy, this great tuna seems to have a bit of a bellyache. Mario, what say you lend the fish a hand, hm?''"

*"''Now, now, you really should help out, dear boy.''"

*"''Me...? In there? Poppycock! My grandmother's last words, and I quote, were: "Do not go inside a giant tuna." I wouldn't hesitate, of course, being a fearless explorer, but dear boy, one simply can't ignore one's grandmother.''"

*"''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!''"

*"''Yaaah! Get off! Aaaaaah!!''"

*"''Ow! Mario! You’re supposed to attack the other guy, old bean! Do you have issues with me? A bit of jealousy, perhaps?''"

*"''Dear me! I barely got away… That was rather rude, Mario! Leaving me like that! Hmph! Well, we can't all be heroes… Let's press on, hm?''"

*"''Phew… You saved me! Many thanks, old chum. Well, enough of that! Let's pull ourselves together and press on, what say?''"

*"''Yow! Off me, you brute! Aargh!''"

*"''Ow! Get ahold of yourself! What do you say you attack the enemies instead of me, hmm?''"

*"''That was frightful… Have you no manners, Mario?! Going on without me!! You boor! …Well, not everyone is noble. It would seem that our goal, the volcano, is quite near. Let's press on, hm?''"

*"''Phew… You saved me once more. You're top notch, Mario! Now, I feel that our destination, the volcano, is quite near. Let's press on while our spirits are high, eh?''"

*"''Barely knicked me, old boy...''"

*"''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]]??''"

*"''But...Sigh...''"

*"''Oh...I was so close...The treasure...right there...''"

*"''Hm? You know, dear boy, I couldn't help but notice you holding something resembling treasure.''"

 

 

 

 

 

*"''Bah ha ha ha ha! [[Mario|Loser]]! Serves you right! You fell for it!''"

*"''Here come the [[Koopa Bros.]]!''"

*"''Okay, [[Koopa Bros.#Red Ninjakoopa|Red]]. I'm ready now!''"

*"''Yes!! I thought you'd come! Now I get to defeat you and win admiration from King Bowser. I'm gonna be famous!''"

*"''Yes, sir! Straight away! Forgive us, sir!''"

*"''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!''"

*"''What? You have my shell, but you won't give it back? What's the matter with you?''"

*"''That's just plain cruel. Please give it back to me! A Koopa without a shell is like… a really unhappy Koopa!''"

*"''What do you think, Mario?''"

*"''Oh, c'mon! You gotta! I have lots of skills! I work well with others! Really, please take me along!''"

*"''Who is this crazed guy? What a nut...''"

*"''You're Luigi, right? My name's Kooper. Pleasure meeting you!''"

*"''Phew! Well, it looks like we finally made it out of that spooky forest.''"

*"''Heyyy... Mario... What do you bet that's the mansion that the old Boo was talking about before?''"

*"''Can't we do something so these things don't chuck us out of the castle?''"

*"''Doesn't anyone in our party have an ability that'll help us avoid them?''"

*"''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.''"

*"''Are you crazy? Do you really think Mario would do something like that!?''"

*"''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!''"

*"''Hey! That lava hardened when it cooled off! Now we can walk across it.''"

*"''Let's go, Mario!''"

*"''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?''"

*"''You! Switch with me!''"

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

*"''Use my ability to turn invisible and we'll fool them.''"

*"''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!''"

*"''Mario! Now I'm really mad! Let's beat this thing up!''"

*"''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.''"

*"''Hush up, [[Bootler]]! You be quiet and take care of the mansion while I'm gone!''"

*"''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.''"

*"''Now you can walk on it, Mario!''"

*"''All the difficult obstacles in this castle are really starting to irritate me, you know.''"

*"''Whatever. Let's get a move on. Time for some lava-walking!''"

*"''Well, don't just stand there staring at the sky, Mario! The Star Beam doesn't work! Think of something!''"

*"''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 [[Bowser's Minions|those chumps]] run away!''"

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