Advice

Ruddy Road

• "We're looking for Paint Stars, remember? Let's get a move on!"
• "Hmm...you've tried painting all of the colorless spots on that house on Ruddy Road, right? Are you sure you got ALL of them?"
• "I think you ought to take care of those dancing guys before we go anywhere else..."
• "Those slurpers were slurping the color right out of the ground! Not only is that immoral, it's just really unsanitary!"
• "There was a colorless house around here... I wonder if they've repainted it yet. Could someone be living there?"
• "Two of those creepy dancing slurpers made off with buckets of red paint. Let's teach them a lesson!"
• "That Shy Guy is making off with the Mini Paint Star's paint! After him!"
• "Something seems a bit...off...about that sign, don't you think? The one with a picture of a Shy Guy on it..."
• "Let's go back to the Mini Paint Star. I think this Shy Guy is going to help us repaint it."
• "All right! The Mini Paint Star is back in business. What are you waiting for? Grab it!"
• "I think you need to remove the tape that's holding down the rolled-up ground. There's got to be a way to get over there!"
• "Darn, I thought removing the tape would fix everything. Well, when in doubt, walk around and smash things with your hammer!"
• "I can see why the Toad who runs the café is mad at his customers. They wrecked his café! Shall we help him?"
• "All right! We should be able to go get that Mini Paint Star now."
• "Have you been everywhere on Ruddy Road? Down each path all the way to the end? Be honest with yourself, Mario."
• "That wall looks way too high to jump over. Even for you, Mario! Seems like a good time to call in the Rescue Squad..."
• "Looks like even you can't jump over that giant cliff wall. Let's come back once we find some more Rescue Squad members."
• "The entire purple Rescue Squad should be here by now... Let's go see if they can help us!"
• "Let's show our appreciation for the purple Rescue Squad by stepping all over them!"
• "I can't believe those Shy Guys could just roll up the whole road like that! They must lift!"
• "There was something interesting buried up on the cliff near the purple Rescue Squad. I wonder what it is."

Cherry Lake

• "Mmm, do you feel that breeze blowing in from the lake? It sure is pleasant..."
• "That red Toad who fell from the airship might be injured. Let's look for him!"
• "Press to use Cutout, and then find a way to the top of the ? Blocks. Then you can just drop down on the other side of the gate!"
• "OK, let's go look for the red Toad who fell off the airship."
• "The red Toad is stuck in a tree! We've gotta get him down!"
• "That mountain's so beautiful, I wish I could cut it out and take it home with me!"
• "Let's go save what's left of Mr. Justice Toad's dignity."
• "OK, let's go give that item we just found to Justice Toad...before he gets arrested."
• "Justice Toad's dignity is fading fast. Let's track down the rest of his stuff."
• "Justice Toad seems... normal again, relatively speaking. So let's go find some Paint Stars!"
• "Have you tried pressing yet, Mario? Maybe from just the right vantage point...where you can see the red Mini Paint Star..."
• "This is definitely the place to use Cutout. Hmm... Maybe your timing is off?"
• "Well then! Let's take the red Mini Paint Star!"
• "The blue Mini Paint Star is too far away! If only someone around here could help. Does anyone owe us a favor?"
• "Think that Justice Toad guy can really help us? Let's go meet him at the blue Mini Paint Star."
• "Let's grab that blue Mini Paint Star!"
• "*sniff* Yep, I smell paint. Maybe there's still a Paint Star around here. Let's go look for it!"
• "Smells like the red Mini Paint Star is a little farther in. Let's keep going."
• "If only we had superpowers. That would make this way easier. I know! Let's go find someone with superpowers!"
• "Hmm. That nubbin on Justice Toad's head looks familiar. Never thought I'd speak that sentence."
• "Now that we've collected a cool two Paint Stars, this breeze on the lake feels even more refreshing!"

Redpepper Volcano

• "Man, it's hot! Good thing I'm not wearing any clothes. Don't think too hard about that."
• "I don't think we can do anything else here for now. Let's give up for now and try again later."
• "There's something BIG up ahead... I just know it. Let's go see what it is!"
• "We need to stop Draggadon! Isn't there something heavy we can drop on his head to calm him down?"
• "That's quite a bump on Draggadon's head. Do...do you think we could ride it?"
• "I wonder what Draggadons eat. Probably spicy stuff. Helps with the fire breath."
• "Heehee! Look at us go! I bet we could ride him ANYWHERE now. Let's use him to go look for the Paint Star!"
• "Remember, you can summon Draggadon with the fishing pole and the Magma Burger. Just gotta be standing in the right place..."
• "Whoa, I can't believe someone was bold enough to steal paint from the lava! Anyway, I wonder if that's why Draggadon can't get too close..."
• "Did...did you hear that?"
• "Mario, when we were riding Draggadon, did you hear a strange voice near the volcano's entrance? Let's check it out!"
• "Let's grab the Paint Star and get going, Mario!"
• "I don't think Draggadon can get us here. There's no lava! I wonder if there's any way to fill this place in with some lava..."
• "That did the trick. Now we should be able to summon Draggadon!"
• "All right, we should be able to get that Mini Paint Star now...with a little help from Draggadon."
• "Nothing left to do but grab the Mini Paint Star. Go for it, Mario!"
• "I just know there's another Paint Star somewhere in here. I can smell it a mile away!"
• "Whew! I'm actually a little surprised that the Paint Star didn't melt!"

Redpepper Crater

• "My goodness... The deeper we go into this volcano, the hotter it gets! I guess that's to be expected..."
• "So I guess the Thing that can melt that huge ice block in that freezer is somewhere in this volcano. Let's look for it."
• "I think maybe if you backtrack a little bit, you can sprint all the way across. Say, from the third platform back to the second..."
• "When in doubt, press ! It won't hurt anything, so not!"
• "We already found the Thing we were looking for, so why don't we hit the hot springs and unwind for a little bit, eh?"
• "What's the rush, Mario? You deserve a good soak! Get back in there and warm up a bit, why don't you?"
• "I smell paint coming from behind the waterfall in the hot spring..."
• "Can you believe there was a Mini Paint Star hiding in here? Let's grab it!"
• "I smell the unmistakable smell of a Mini Paint Star! It's...under the ground or something. Let's find it!"
• "I do smell a little bit of paint, but it's far off. Still, there's definitely a Mini Paint Star SOMEWHERE in this place..."
• "Well, that's one to check off the bucket list, eh? Bathing inside a volcano-fueled hot spring, I mean."

The Crimson Tower

• "Huh? We just got here, and I can already smell paint!"
• "At last! A Big Paint Star is close by!"
• "The gate has been completely drained of color. It would be impressive if it wasn't so depressing."
• "We need to find a way to open this gate."
• "Let's find all of those crazy key Toads and see if they'll fit in the gate!"
• "All of the gate Toads are here!"
• "If they need a little more "oomph," maybe introduce them to your hammer?"
• "Let's move! There must be a Big Paint Star here somewhere."
• "That airship can't fly away while its anchor is down. That's kinda what anchors do."
• "Let's infiltrate the ship and reclaim the paint in that bucket!"
• "Let's enter the Crimson Tower and search for the Big Paint Star!"
• "This place sure is big. I wonder where the Big Paint Star could be."
• "Let's head for the top of the tower. The Big Paint Star is definitely up there!"
• "Those Shy Guys are working against us! Let's surprise them from below!"
• "Morton broke the floor, so we can't get to the top! I wish life was a video game. Then we could just press to make a staircase appear!"
• "Ooh, baby! I just caught a big whiff of paint. The Big Paint Star is close! Let's keep chasing Morton!"
• "Morton is holding the Big Paint Star hostage at the top of the Crimson Tower. Let's go get him!"
• "There's no way we're going to beat Morton as long as he has that flaming hammer. We should see if the Know-it-All Toad can help us."
• "That sure was nice of the Chosen Toads to help us out. We should go visit them sometime, seeing as they're stuck in that gate forever..."

Indigo Underground

• "Well, it wouldn't be a cave without an entrance. Let's find a way in."
• "It looks like that pipe is clogged. Do you think you could unclog it somehow?"
• "This is no time to be playing with cards, Mario! Let's go down that pipe and look for Paint Stars!"
• "Huh, that wall behind the pipe looks suspicious. Well, when in doubt, cut it out! Look, what I'm saying is try Cutout. Press to give it a shot."
• "I don't think we have the Thing we need to get that Toad out of that pipe. Let's ask around Port Prisma."
• "Now that the pipe is clear, let's head inside and help rescue the green Rescue Squad."
• "Some days, it seems like you'll never make it to the bottom of the pipe, right? Well...try one more time. We've got to follow that guy!"
• "There must be a green Rescue Squad member nearby... I can smell the slightest hint of green rescue paint!"
• "I think we're clear to move ahead, Mario. I don't smell any more green Rescue Squad members in need of assistance here."
• "I think we've rescued the whole green Rescue Squad! Now, let's go talk to the squad leader."
• "If those Toads really want us to walk across them, who are we to deny them?"
• "We can't move forward until we defeat the Shy Guys!"
• "Well, I'm going to go ahead and walk across those Toads. C'mon, Mario!"
• "We made it across the Toad bridge, so let's go get that Mini Paint Star."
• "That smell is unmistakable! There must be a Mini Paint Star near."
• "That cave sure was OK, but now I could really use some sun."

Bloo Bay Beach

• "Do you smell that salty breeze? We must be close to the sea."
• "I wonder where this Oceanfest thing is happening."
• "Let's kill some time before Oceanfest starts. Have you explored all of the beach yet?"
• "Let's go check out this Oceanfest thing."
• "These Toads are really into this Oceanfest thing. It's kind of weird. Let's check out the stage."
• "Are you going to find those Toads or what? I'd help you, but that would be cheating."
• "Kinda surprised that you gave up on the Toad-hunting thing. Where's your Oceanfest spirit?! C'mon, Mario! We can win this thing!"
• "Nice! You found all of the Toads. Let's go to the stage and report it."
• "Let's check out the main event. Talk to the yellow host Toad on the stage."
• "If you look closely at the Five Fun Guys, they all have the same exact face. So creepy..."
• "If we watch closely enough, we should be able to follow the key."
• "All of these Toads look the same, so it's hard to keep track of which is which."
• "If only there was some surefire way to keep track of the Toad with the key."
• "Well, we won the key, so I suppose we should go check out this Blissful Beach place."
• "The top of a sun umbrella doesn't seem like the ideal place to relax."
• "The Oceanfest was actually pretty fun. I can see why the Toads look forward to it every year."
• "Let's go check out that shipwreck. It should be in the bay, right off the pier."
• "Maybe we could use the Cutout ability to help that stranded Toad. I think it's ."
• "Why was that blue Toad in the boat so desperate to find his purpose in life? We should let him know if we have any ideas."
• "The shape of that blue Toad's head... Doesn't it seem like we've seen it somewhere?"
• "The way that Toad stopped that wave! That's some supernatural stuff right there."
• "If it ever seems like you just can't get somewhere, you can always try pressing . It never hurts!"

Dark Bloo Inn

• "This hotel is really fancy, but there's something...off about it. Gives me the creeps."
• "OK, let's investigate the hotel. Keep an eye out for anything... weird."
• "That spooky Toad seems to have some unfinished business. Let's see if we can help him."
• "Sounds like there's going to be some sort of tea party in this hotel."
• "There's space for six at the table. Does that mean there are six spooky Toads?"
• "Let's look around the hotel and see if there are any more spooky Toads!"
• "Some of the spooky Toads in the hotel still need our help. Let's talk to the staff and gather some clues."
• "Room 201 seems to be...missing. Well, if it WERE here, where would it be?"
• "Something's still not right. Let's ask the manager what's going on."
• "They certainly can't have a tea party without a teapot. Let's go ask the front desk."
• "Let's grab the purple Mini Paint Star and then head to Plum Park to find that teapot!"
• "We've done everything we can here. Let's head to Plum Park and find the teapot!"
• "Let's deliver the teapot and get the party started! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
• "Looks like the hotel is back to normal! It's only slightly less creepy though."
• "This hotel gets creepier every time I see it."
• "We've got to solve this paranormal mystery, because I just know there's a Paint Star around here. Let's search the whole place carefully..."

Cobalt Base

• "It's quiet. Too quiet. Something's not right in here."
• "That Snifit over there is SKETCH. Might wanna hear him out, though."
• "I'm still not sure what that Snifit was trying to sell us. Whatever it was, it wasn't cheap."
• "That Snifit sold you a bunch of cards. Hmm..."
• "That Snifit hooked us up with all the cards we need. Let's go win that game show!"
• "Whoa! Mini Paint Star dead ahead! What are you waiting for? Grab it!"
• "Well, I guess we have no choice but to go in this pipe."
• "The Mini Paint Star! I bet that's the prize for winning the game show! Let's do it, Mario!"
• "Apparently we'll get some kind of legendary treasure if we win the bonus round. It's worth a shot!"
• "Let's get ourselves that Mini Paint Star!"
• "Oh... So this is the legendary treasure! Come to papa!"
• "Well, this is fancy. And I'm sure it'll come in handy somewhere..."
• "I think we're finally close to finding the fabled treasure of Fortune Island. Let's go beat the bonus round and get it, Mario!"
• "You cleared the bonus round, so you're the Snifit or Whiffit grand champion! How does it feel?!"

Fort Cobalt

• "The Big Paint Star is around here somewhere. Let's find it!"
• "Seems like we're stuck. Maybe you could do some damage to that fence with your hammer."
• "I'm guessing only one of the three fences will let us through. Feeling lucky, Mario?"
• "If you mark them with paint, you'll be able to keep track of which fences you've tried."
• "The paint smell is getting stronger. We're close to the Big Paint Star!"
• "Sometimes you might press and see that the lines don't quite match up. If that happens, try moving things around."
• "Apparently the café barista is a Rescue Squad plant. We're supposed to order something from him, but I'm not sure what."
• "The enemy's secret superweapon is vulnerable to Tail attacks!"
• "When the enemy's secret weapon dives underwater, our only option is to pull it back up to the surface somehow!"
• "*sniff* *sniff* Ugh...it stinks. And there isn't even a Big Paint Star around here!"
• "We're never going to beat him like this. Let's retreat to the café and order everything on the menu. And then cry into our lattes..."
• "We have to do something about Ludwig diving under the water. Maybe the café staff can give us some pointers."
• "OK, let's go wake the Big Paint Star!"
• "Something caught my eye back there with all of those tricky fences. I think it was a Thing! We should probably go get it."
• "I don't know if you like spice, Mario, but whatever those Shy Guys at the café were eating looked pretty hot..."
• "I see why that café is so popular. Could you see us becoming regulars, Mario?"

Daffodil Peak

• "*sniff sniff* Gotta love that fresh mountain air!"
• "Let's go to the shack and get the climbing permit from the park ranger."
• "Let's fix the colorless spots in the shack. Maybe the ranger will give us the climbing permit then."
• "Is the park ranger still down in the dumps? Let's go talk to him."
• "Seems like there's something on the other side of that window..."
• "I feel like I've seen something in this room with the same mark that the Unfurl Block has."
• "Well, you Unfurled the chair. Only thing left to do now is repaint it. C'mon, Mario!"
• "The park ranger should be in a better mood now. Maybe he'll give us a climbing permit?"
• "Let's go show the permit to the gatekeeper at the entrance!"
• "Let's go see the Mountain Sage at the peak!"
• "Mario, you sometimes moonlight as a doctor, don't you? You should be able to mend a creased leg with a single swing!"
• "Whenever you see an Unfurl Block, there must be something you can Unfurl nearby."
• "Whenever you find something with an Unfurl Mark, there must be an Unfurl Block nearby as well..."
• "Let's go complain to the gatekeeper!"
• "Grab the yellow Mini Paint Star, and let's go complain to the gatekeeper!"
• "The gatekeeper's mind went blank... If we color his thoughts a bit, maybe he'll be able to remember something about the Mountain Sage!"
• "This Mountain Sage is something special, all right. We should come talk to him if ever find ourselves stuck at a dead end."
• "Doesn't it seem like we've seen the shape of that Mountain Sage's head somewhere before?"
• "There was a yellow Mini Paint Star next to the cardboard cutout at the peak. Let's go get it!"
• "Climbing that mountain was fun. I feel like a real mountain man——er——mountain can."

Sunglow Ridge

• "There's a lonely-looking Toad over there..."
• "I think we should just trust that the Big Paint Stars will show us the way. Let's leave this area for now."
• "Let's open the Scarlet Gate and keep going!"
• "All right, now where could that Paint Star be...?"
• "There should be an Unfurl Block somewhere around here. Let's find it!"
• "Quickly! Use your Unfurl power before it runs out!"
• "Let's get to the mountains and make sure everything's OK!"
• "There must be an Unfurl Block somewhere around here. It could be anywhere, so get crazy with the hammer if you have to!"
• "We're getting close to where that thing landed. I hope everything is OK..."
• "These logs sure are annoying. Maybe we can stop them at the source..."
• "I saw an Unfurl Block in that hut, but we'll need to get past those Shy Guys to use it!"
• "Now we can use the Unfurl Block at our leisure, but what is there to Unfurl around here? Do you think the logs might Unfurl?"
• "This is terrible! That bomb must have exploded with black paint!"
• "All right, we know there's a yellow Mini Paint Star on the mountain somewhere... Now, let's go get it!"
• "There should be an Unfurl Block somewhere around here. If it seems like it's in an impossible spot, maybe try hitting it from the other side..."
• "That's strange. We still can't get anywhere! Let's take a careful look at that sign over there."
• "All right! Grab that Mini Paint Star, and let's be on our way!"
• "Let's get out of here before we get creamed by another one of those black paint bombs."

Château Chanterelle

• "What a peaceful and cozy little house! Must be nice to live here."
• "Ah, so this is where the professor lives! Let's go inside and meet him."
• "So the professor is somewhere in Mondo Woods. Maybe there's a Mini Paint Star nearby that can help us get there..."
• "Have you tried Cutout lately? Something about that barn looks suspicious to me...like it doesn't quite line up..."
• "I can still smell paint. There's another Mini Paint Star around here somewhere—I just know it! Have you tried looking up high?"
• "Looks like the professor has gone to Mondo Woods... I don't think there's anything for us to do here right now."
• "I wonder if the professor has found Princess yet..."
• "Well, we've got a permit for the excavation site, so we might as well use it! Let's go check it out."
• "I hope we can figure out a way to reunite the professor and Princess."
• "I hope we can figure out a way to reunite the professor and Princess. Say, have you tried pressing lately? Maybe in a place where Princess used to hang out?"
• "Ooh, I love gifts. Let's go inside the professor's house and see what he's got for us!"
• "Boy, Princess really lives up to her name, doesn't she? Of course, she could also live up to the name Bruiser or Crusher or Goliath..."
• "Remember what the professor said? Draggadons love heat. Let's go see if it's hiding out in the volcano."

Mustard Café

• "It's hot enough to dry paint out here!"
• "Hmm. Doesn't seem like the café is open right now."
• "Look, there's someone in the middle of that big colorless spot. Let's go see who it is!"
• "I smell a Paint Star, but I think we're going to need someone from the café to help to get it. Let's come back later."
• "Let's go see what the Big Paint Star did to the huge colorless spot in the desert."
• "Well, we're not climbing out of this! Let's see if we can find another way back to the surface."
• "Ugh, there's a boulder blocking that pipe. You know, it's times like these that I feel like I'm just not cut out for this kind of adventure..."
• "There's nothing left to do but make our way back to the surface. Let's keep moving."
• "Did you hear the chef calling us? Let's go get on the parasol!"
• "Whoops! I should have known that thing was too flimsy to be safe! Let's get out of the sand and find a place to catch our breath."
• "Let's help the chef get out of here! Maybe then he'll let us into his café so we can get that Paint Star..."
• "It looks like that pipe needs to be repainted a little bit before we can go all the way through."
• "Without a way to get through the pipe...maybe you should try pressing !"
• "All right! Now, let's repaint this pipe and then go get the chef!"
• "I bet that orange pipe would take us back to the surface..."
• "This is a tough one. But there must be a weak point somewhere around here. Have you checked the floor?"
• "The chef must be locked away down here somewhere. Let's go find him! Try hitting anything suspicious with your hammer."
• "With that card key, we should be able to use the elevator and unlock cell doors as we please. Who's the warden now, Snifits? Bahaha!"
• "Mario! We can't just leave the chef locked up like this."
• "We're going to need a card key to spring the chef from his jail cell. They must be keeping the key somewhere around here, right?"
• "Have you looked under the sofa? Sometimes that's where keys end up."
• "All right! Let's get back to the orange pipe and head up to the surface."
• "Um, are we forgetting something? The chef is still being held captive in the Snifits' underground hideout. Let's go rescue him!"
• "Let's hurry over to the café so the chef can open up for us. I can't wait to see that beautiful Paint Star!"
• "The key must still be down in the Snifits' underground hideout somewhere, right?"
• "I definitely think I saw a key hanging on a wall somewhere down here..."
• "All right, we got the café key! Let's give it to the chef and go get that Paint Star."
• "Nothing left to do but grab the Mini Paint Star!"
• "Gotta hand it to the chef... He sure knows how to build hype. I suppose it helps that the fare he serves is so...rejuvenative."
• "We need to help the chef out. It's the right thing to do...and we need that Paint Star from his café!"

The Golden Coliseum

• "Do you hear that? The crowd is roaring! This is exciting!"
• "I think the Shy Guy at the ticket counter was trying to get your attention..."
• "Mario, we've got a chance to get a Big Paint Star here! Let's go sign up for the Battle Royal!"
• "So you're not bad to the bone. There are worse things in life. And besides, maybe you can BECOME bad to the bone!"
• "I know you're bad to the bone, but you're just so NICE that sometimes I forget..."
• "Whoa! This isn't fair! We're going to have to tip the scales in our favor somehow. Maybe there's an item around here that can help us..."
• "We need to win the Battle Royal to get the Big Paint Star, so get back out there as soon as you're ready."
• "Have you heard people whispering about the Thing that was stolen from Marmalade Valley? Supposedly it's in the Golden Coliseum somewhere..."
• "I don't think this is getting us anywhere. Let's see if there's a way around on the outside of the coliseum."
• "I think we're...backstage or something..."
• "I wonder why they stole that bone. Do you think it's important?"
• "All right, champ! Go on and claim your prize. A Big Paint Star!"
• "If you see any powerful weapons, grab 'em! They could come in handy later."
• "The Battle Royal is over, but it looks like you can compete again, if you want. You should test your mettle!"

Marmalade Valley

• "Wow, that's a cool-looking train! I wonder if it works..."
• "Did you hear that? Fossils! Let's try to get closer!"
• "Hey, we've got the permit we need to access this site. Let's show him!"
• "We can't access this site without some kind of permit from the professor. Let's come back later."
• "We've got a pass to the excavation site—now we just need to figure out who to show it to. Let's keep moving. I'm sure we'll figure it out."
• "We're in! Let's go explore the excavation site."
• "It looks like we have to go through the caves to get to the fossils, Mario."
• "Aw, how are we going to get through the caves with the bridge out? Maybe there's another way..."
• "I hope everyone at the excavation site is OK... We better go take a look!"
• "There was a cave-in way up near the top of the site. Let's get up there to help!"
• "We need to get that Toad out of there! Mario, maybe you could try busting up the rocks!"
• "Think we can make some use out of that giant bone? Might as well take it."
• "I can smell paint coming from the wall that monster destroyed. Let's go check it out!"
• "Yes! Grab the Paint Star, and we'll be on our way."
• "I think we just did the Toads' job for them by excavating that huge fossil. Let's move on to a new area."
• "I don't think the Bone is here anymore. Let's look elsewhere."
• "Where did Draggadon fly off to? Maybe we should ask the professor."
• "Even paper can be fossilized. In a billion years, that could be us in that cliff. Really makes you think, huh?"

Kiwano Temple

• "Ooh, I love ancient temples. Especially if they're filled with spikes and booby traps! I'm excited!"
• "We need to get over to that entrance somehow. But those spikes look awfully pointy..."
• "Hmm...how can we get over there? I mean, I can just float there, but you're going to have to, like, drop something on the spikes to stand on."
• "Oops! I hope no one's mad we busted up the train tracks. But now we can use that pillar to roll across the spikes!"
• "I don't think we have what we need to open that freaky old door. I wonder if the professor of really old things knows anything about it."
• "That spiky door is meant to keep people out. Let's take a closer look at it."
• "All right, let's head into the temple!"
• "Isn't it fun exploring a dangerous and mysterious temple like this? Watch your step!"
• "Gah! Quickly, look for some kind of a switch to make this thing move! We're gonna be up to our ears in lava if we don't hurry!"
• "OK, now we just need to get to the Paint Star. Hurry! The lava is still rising fast!"
• "I'm usually not one to run away from a fight, but we've got more important things to do. Maybe we don't have to fight that guy!"
• "Yay! Grab the Mini Paint Star, Mario!"
• "You know what? I can still smell a Paint Star around here somewhere. I think it's...red. Yep, definitely red."
• "Woo-hoo! Get that Paint Star and let's keep moving, Mario!"
• "Those Toads on the tracks don't look very happy..."
• "Right now, we just need to focus on finding all of the blue Rescue Toads."
• "Mario, there's one more Paint Star in the temple. It's in that scary part with all of the lava, but we can make it. We've done it before!"
• "Well, we broke the tracks. But we got two Mini Paint Stars! You win some, you lose some. Anyway, I think we're done here for now."
• "All right, we've found all of the blue Rescue Toads. Let's get them to fix the tracks!"
• "I can't believe there was a Mini Paint Star hiding in the engine of that train! Let's go get it."
• "Whew, I'm glad the train tracks are all fixed now. I was feeling kinda bad about destroying them."
• "I think we've seen everything there is to see in this temple, Mario. Let's move on to a different area."

Toad Trainworks

• "This is a big building. I wonder if it's some kind of factory."
• "There are a lot of Toads here... But it seems like nobody has anything to do..."
• "There were lots of Toads inside that building. Let's hear what they have to say."
• "If the foreman wants to give us the Mini Paint Star, who are we to refuse?"
• "I hope the foreman gets one last fun job before he retires. Anyway, there's not much going on here now, so let's come back later."
• "The broken train at Kiwano Temple must have come here. Let's go see how the repair job is coming along!"
• "I wonder what the engine used to look like... It would be helpful if there was a chart or a diagram around here somewhere."
• "Take a look at the chart, and be sure to talk to the Toads in charge of each section. We'll get this engine running again in no time!"
• "There must be some kind of diagram of the engine posted on the wall around here somewhere. Let's see if we can find it."
• "Let's help move the boiler."
• "Huh... It looks finished, but something's not right. Maybe check out the very front..."
• "It's pitch black, and I can't see anything! For now, just feel your way along and hit stuff with your hammer."
• "Whoa! What happened to the engineer Toad who was standing by the coal chute?"
• "I wonder if we can't move the coal car up to the rest of the train by really putting our backs into it and pushing it from behind."
• "The coal car hit something and came back! Let's check out the tracks."
• "Let's try using the handcar to push the coal car back to where the rest of the train is!"
• "It doesn't seem like there's anything left to do here. Let's continue with our repairs back where the train is."
• "This storage room seems like it connects up to every other part of the construction area."
• "Well, let's head toward the train's next destination, Tangerino Grill!"
• "The boss really did retire... But it looks like he finished his big job first, so that's good!"
• "Factories are filled with all kinds of things, and I'm betting this one may even have a Thing. Let's do a little more searching..."
• "What a glorious run for the Sunset Express! I bet everyone involved is proud."

Tangerino Grill

• "Tangerino Grill, huh? Sounds appetizing—let's check it out!"
• "Not exactly a packed house, is it?"
• "All of the customers have gone. Let's talk to a Toad who works here."
• "Let's come back when the big group of customers arrives."
• "The train's here! Choo-choo!"
• "Why isn't there any food for the Toads?"
• "Let's go check out the situation in the kitchen."
• "The kitchen's in a horrible state! Let's kick out all of the Shy Guys!"
• "There might be Shy Guys hiding in the cupboards or in the freezer, don't you think?"
• "C'mon, let's kick all of those Shy Guys outta the kitchen!"
• "I...I guess we have to learn how to make pizza! Talk to the chef if you need a little help."
• "Let's start the pizza challenge again from the prep stage!"
• "All we've got to do is bake the pizza, and we're done. Let's talk to the head chef in front of the oven."
• "I wonder if it turned out OK. Can you hear my heart pounding...?"
• "Huh...I guess they didn't like our pizza. Let's see if the customers have any feedback for us."
• "Hey, we did well with the pizza, so I'm sure we can make something the VIP will like. Let's give it a shot!"
• "Let's respect the VIP's privacy and talk to him through the curtain."
• "What is this, and how are we supposed to cook it? Maybe we should try...tenderizing it?"
• "We've got to cook something delicious for that VIP. Let's go back to the VIP room and get started!"
• "It seems like the customers are pretty smart about food. Maybe they have some good ideas about how to cook that steak!"
• "OK, let's take the Mini Paint Star! I'm sure that we'll find a Big Paint Star next!"
• "What's that Thing inside the big block of ice?"
• "That Thing inside the block of ice is interesting, but I don't think we can get it out right now."
• "Do we have any Thing that could melt the big ice block? You know, something that makes a whole lot of hot air?"
• "I guess this is a one-star restaurant now. I forget... Is that bad or good?"

Sunset Express

• "Let's check out the rockslide. The Toads around here should be able to direct us."
• "How can we make my voice louder so we can wake that giant rock? Can you think of a Thing that could do that?"
• "Didn't you find an Unfurl Block around here? Get to Unfurlin' something!"
• "The container changed into a water tower! Now we should be able to move forward."
• "All right, that rock won't be a problem anymore. Let's head back to the platform."
• "We don't have time to space out! Hurry up and hit the handle with your hammer!"
• "Let's stop that VIP who hijacked the train!"
• "It's escaping because you're running at it. Try sneaking up on it and hitting it with your hammer."
• "Shoot, the door won't open. We've got to find another way to get around this problem. Do you think we can sneak around the outside?"
• "We need to get onto the roof of the passenger car. What have we done in situations like this before?"
• "Hey, I see a suspicious line here! Try pressing !"
• "I'm pretty sure there was an Unfurl Block on the roof of one of the train cars. Things that can be Unfurled will react to your normal hammer a little bit too, so try whacking everything to figure out what you can Unfurl."
• "Hurry! Let's use the handcar to chase down the train and stop that out-of-control VIP!"
• "I don't think we can beat Larry if he keeps using the smoke like that. Maybe we should talk to the Know- it-All Toad in Port Prisma..."
• "So this is Starlight Cape, huh? It's so beautiful...it takes my breath away."
• "Let's wish upon the Big Paint Star!"
• "That train sure ran into one disaster after another... I'm glad that we can laugh about it now!"

Mondo Woods

• "So the professor and Princess went for a walk in the woods but haven't come back. Let's find 'em!"
• "I hope the professor and Princess are safe out here. It's not exactly the nicest neighborhood."
• "Mario, I want that giant coin as much as I've ever wanted anything, but we have to give up on it for now."
• "This giant Goomba is a giant pain! I think you're going to have to take it out for us to move forward."
• "I smell paint! There must be a Mini Paint Star nearby..."
• "I don't think there's anything else we can do in these woods right now."
• "The yellow Big Paint Star definitely passed over these woods, which means it might have repainted something in here. Let's take a look!"
• "Hurry up and nab that giant coin!"
• "There's a blue Mini Paint Star! Let's get it, Mario!"
• "Man, this forest sure is weird."

Sacred Forest

• "I know we just got here, but I can already smell paint. There's definitely a Mini Paint Star nearby."
• "That Toad seems to be pulling on something. Let's investigate."
• "Let's reunite the yellow Rescue Squad so they can pull that turnip out!"
• "The yellow Rescue Squad is all here! Let's see if they can pull out the turnip!"
• "Let's help the Rescue Squad pull the turnip out!"
• "The turnip came out! We should be able to get into that pipe now!"
• "Hmm. There's something where the pipe used to be. It looks like we can pull on it."
• "All right, let's go in the freshly sprouted pipe! But be gentle—-we don't want to damage it."
• "So nice to be in a normal forest for once, am I right?!"
• "So much for taking a nice stroll through a normal forest..."
• "Let's find that blue Mini Paint Star that vanished!"
• "Let's find the fragments of that Mini Paint Star and bring them back to the pedestal."
• "Nice going! You're the real super star, Mario!"
• "There's no way we'll fit in a pipe this small. Let's come back later."
• "I think we've probably got all the pieces of that Mini Paint Star now. Let's go back to where it was."
• "Let's brush those little twerps off and grab the Mini Paint Star!"
• "OK, let's grab the blue Mini Paint Star!"
• "I think there are still places in the Sacred Forest that we haven't been to yet."
• "Remember the spot with the tiny pipe. We should come back when we figure out a way to get into it!"
• "If a pipe is too small to enter, we just need to make it bigger. But how?"
• "We should be able to fit into that pipe now. Let's go!"
• "Mario, I know Kamek is scary, but we have to defeat him to get that Mini Paint Star!"
• "OK, let's grab the green Mini Paint Star!"
• "Wait, so that was the SMALL version of the Sacred Tree?! That thing must've been ginormous to begin with!"

Green Energy Plant

• "What is this place? Nothing but worthless junk here. I can't even smell any Paint Stars!"
• "Let's look around the area and figure out a way to turn the power back on."
• "It's looking pretty stormy out here, don't you think? I wonder if we'll get any thunder and lightning..."
• "I sure hope that lightning bolt fixed Toad's power. Because I don't want to do that again... Let's go inside and check it out."
• "When you find yourself out of options, try pressing ! You never know what might happen!"
• "Let's go back inside and take another look at that monitor. If only we could get INSIDE it!"
• "Let's search every corner of the bleepy bloopy world. There could be a Paint Star in there!"
• "Press and watch the whole bleepy bloopy world expand for 10 seconds! You can press again if you want to go back to normal more quickly."
• "What's up with those red pipes, Mario? Maybe we should see where they lead..."
• "Mario, the Mini Paint Star is still inside the monitor! Let's go back in there and look around some more."
• "That Paint Star sure looks weird in here, but it's no different from any other Paint Star. Go get it!"
• "It's time to head back to the real world, Mario. Find the flag, and let's get out of here!"
• "All right! Grab that Paint Star, and let's keep moving!"
• "Paint works in mysterious ways. Not even I understand it fully! Anyway, if you ever feel nostalgic, I'm sure we can go back in the monitor."

Mossrock Theater

• "The fog's so thick, I can barely see my handles! Something could jump out at us, so let's proceed with caution."
• "Those Shy Guys blocking the bridge are so annoying. I know! Let's hit 'em from below and send 'em flying!"
• "There are two Mini Paint Stars! Which should we get first?"
• "Let's take the other Mini Paint Star too!"
• "I still smell paint. Let's keep exploring!"
• "Thank goodness that show's over. Let's get the Mini Paint Star and keep moving forward."
• "Sometimes I just get the urge to beat up a Ptooie. You ever get that urge? They're just so annoying!"

The Emerald Circus

• "Just looking at the circus tent gets my paint stirring!"
• "Let's go look for all of the red Rescue Toads!"
• "All of the red Rescue Squad members are here! There sure are a lot of them!"
• "Shouldn't the circus be starting soon? Let's go ask the Shy Guy by the entrance."
• "The first act of the circus is finally about to start! Let's go grab a seat."
• "Where did the Big Paint Star go?! It's got to be around here somewhere..."
• "What's the deal with that rope hanging down? I have a sudden urge to boogie..."
• "Mario, we've got to get back out there. Let's go back on stage!"
• "Hmm...they just left that trampoline out there..."
• "Let's take down Lemmy on top of the tent!"
• "Lemmy's special ball is pretty tough, huh? Maybe we should ask the Know-it-All Toad back in Port Prisma what to do."
• "Mario, this is the last Big Paint Star! Let's wake it up!"
• "The Toads and Shy Guys may have really liked your mushroom trick, but my tin-can impression was the real star of the show!"

Plum Park

• "The teapot must be somewhere in this park... Let's find it!"
• "The Shy Guy on the pier looks like he has something to say..."
• "Does that giant red plant on that roof look suspicious to you? I bet if we could get on top of the arch, we could get all the way up there."
• "I guess we need something to float on if we're going to watch the show."
• "Finally...the stage is empty. Looks like we can finally investigate it."
• "So the teapot was behind the stage!"
• "Mario, did you check out the area behind the stage? The teapot is back there!"
• "If we don't defeat Petea Piranha, we won't be able to get the teapot."
• "All right, let's wring out the teapot and move on!"
• "Now that the park is restored, let's go see if we can find a Paint Star!"
• "I think there's a Paint Star nearby. It smells incredible!"
• "There was something colorful by the side of the stage, remember?"
• "Staying at a fancy hotel, and relaxing in a huge garden... The ultimate indulgence, isn't it?"

Violet Passage

• "Something seems a bit off about this harbor..."
• "Let's go see what's happening with the boat."
• "Let's help out those Rescue Toads!"
• "Looks like all of the Rescue Toads are gathered on the pier."
• "The ship can't embark with things the way they are. Let's come back once the sea's color is restored."
• "Let's go check out the boat."
• "Let's find a way to cross the Lost Sea. Maybe there's something inside the ship that can help."
• "I think there are still missing pages from the Sea Journal around here somewhere. Let's keep looking."
• "We should have all the missing pages from the Sea Journal now. Let's show them to the captain!"
• "Let's show the captain the scraps of paper we found in the ship."
• "It's finally time to set sail for the Lost Sea! Let's talk to the captain when we're ready."
• "Well, we definitely need wind, but it seems like something else is missing. Let's talk to the captain."
• "If we could just get a strong wind going behind the boat, I bet we could ship off."
• "Pay close attention, Mario! I have a feeling you're going to have to master firing those cannons."
• "Let's go and look at the hole that opened up in the cabin."
• "The hole in the cabin seems OK. Let's let the captain know."
• "Let's set sail for the Lost Sea, Mario! Ahoy! Avast! And so forth!"
• "OK, let's head through the Lost Sea! You can check the Sea Journal from Items in the menu."
• "We can't go anywhere like this. Let's try consulting with the others on board, yeah?"
• "Do you see that weird spot on the rocks way out there? Think you could hit it with a well-placed cannon shot?"
• "If only there was some Thing that could point the way forward..."
• "OK, let's grab the Mini Paint Star and head to the next island!"
• "Man, firing those cannons seems like fun. Can... can I try it?"
• "Come to think of it, there was an interesting-looking Thing among the barrels in the ship cabin."

Vortex Island

• "There's got to be a way to get past that giant whirlpool, and I'm sure we'll find the answer on this island somewhere."
• "Let's ask the resident of the house. He might know what to do about the gigantic whirlpool."
• "Parallel world? Sounds weird! Let's go check it out, Mario."
• "Let's see if those Shy Guys can give us any info on the parallel world."
• "I think we need to build a bridge in the parallel world. Do you think you could use your hammer to make one?"
• "Now that we've got a bridge in this world, do you think there's one in the normal world, too?"
• "Why don't you try hitting those posts near the whirlpool?"
• "Let's go see if anything happened to the tornado in the parallel world."
• "Let's wring out the Thing under the tornado in the parallel world."
• "Let's go check on what's happened to the whirlpool in the normal world."
• "Let's return to the boat. Mini Paint Star ahoy!"
• "Well, let's take the Mini Paint Star and get back to our quest for Fortune Island!"
• "If you hang out laundry to dry in the parallel world...it won't ever dry, will it? Because it's so wet and cloudy?"

Lighthouse Island

• "We should've just gone with the captain. Let's check out the lighthouse."
• "Let's take a good look around that lighthouse, Mario."
• "The lighthouse keeper is waiting for us past the waterfall. C'mon, let's go!"
• "Let's go to the parallel world and search for clues for how to fix the lighthouse light."
• "Let's investigate the parallel world. Maybe there are some Shy Guys around that we can interrogate!"
• "Did you see that cracked wall? I bet we could break it wide open!"
• "Let's check out the waterfall back in the normal world. I wonder if anything has changed behind it."
• "Let's try painting that colorless block behind the waterfall in the normal world."
• "Maybe we should see if anything's changed behind that broken wall in the parallel world."
• "Where there's an Unfurl Block, there's always an Unfurl Mark nearby."
• "Let's go see the lighthouse in the parallel world!"
• "Waugh, it's pitch black! I can't even see my feet! Good thing paint is visible in total darkness!"
• "Don't be frugal with your paint here. Slosh it everywhere to find new paths!"
• "Is there a Thing on the ground there?"
• "I wonder if the bright Thing we squeezed in the parallel world would work in the normal world..."
• "The lighthouse is lit up again! Let's return to the ship."
• "Let's go back to the ship and go get that Mini Paint Star!"
• "Right, let's take the Mini Paint Star and set sail!"
• "The lighthouse turned out to be super bright. I guess the keeper's sunglasses weren't just for show."

Fortune Island

• "Finally...Fortune Island. It's been a long road... Let's go explore!"
• "I don't think we can get in this way. Let's see if we can use the parallel world to get inside. Is there one of those pipes around here somewhere?"
• "Let's see if there's a way in through the skull's mouth in the parallel world."
• "Do you think there are any other ways to get in here?"
• "Let's go back and look at the skull in the normal world."
• "Let's go inside the skull in the normal world! We need to find that Big Paint Star!"
• "Did you see that Unfurl Mark? That must mean that there's an Unfurl Block around here somewhere."
• "Now that we've Unfurled that barrel, there must have been some sort of change in the parallel world. Let's get out of this skull and go have a look."
• "Is the treasure really all gone? Did you check each chest carefully? You know, like REALLY carefully? Maybe even get inside them all!"
• "Let's go see what's happening with the volcano in the parallel world. Maybe there's something we can do."
• "Have you tried hitting the torch lanterns in both worlds? There's something about them..."
• "Did you notice how the torch lanterns were lined up in the normal world? I wonder if there's any connection with the parallel world..."
• "I'm sure that if we get rid of the smoke here, the smoke in the normal world will disappear, too!"
• "Let's go see if the smoke has cleared from that room back in the normal world."
• "Let's defeat Wendy and get the Big Paint Star back!"
• "There's got to be a way to stop Wendy from catching you with that ring. I bet the Know-it-All Toad knows..."
• "Let's wake up our treasure, the Big Paint Star!"
• "Come to think of it, there was something in the smoke room of the parallel world. It might be treasure. Let's find out!"
• "Hopefully the captain will go on to be a legend now."

Black Bowser's Castle

• "All right, where's this Bowser fellow? Lemme at him!"
• "Princess Peach has been color drained! We have to repaint her!"
• "OK, Mario. Take a deep breath, and let's challenge Roy again!"
• "Mario, if we can't clean Roy's black paint, we won't be able to get past him. Let's talk to the Know-it-All Toad in Port Prisma..."
• "All right, let's get back to rescuing Princess Peach!"
• "This doesn't look good. I don't know what those Shy Guys are doing with all of those buckets of paint, but I don't like it."
• "Looks like you can't get through the tunnel without carrying a bucket. If only we had a steel bucket with a handle. Do you know anyone like that? I'm drawing a blank."
• "...OH! I can pretend to be a bucket! Get on the conveyor belt and summon me!"
• "Get on the conveyor belt and summon me!"
• "Maybe we could destroy the tank in the center if we blow up the Bob-ombs?"
• "The Bob-ombs are in these boxes. Maybe try hitting them from below..."
• "I bet we can use the regular Bob-ombs to detonate those giant Bob-ombs..."
• "We've got to stop them from making more black paint. Let's get back to that factory and destroy it!"
• "Let's get out of here! It would be REALLY bad news if we touched the black paint."
• "All right, back to the task at hand. Defeating Bowser and saving Princess Peach!"
• "No! Princess Peach is gone! Think... Did anything else change?"
• "Bowser is close! Let's keep going!"
• "I can smell the black paint! This is it!"

Port Prisma

• "Hey, Mario! You called?"
• "If you see any poor Toads who have been drained of their color, just repaint 'em with your paint hammer!"
• "Is that your boat? It's beautiful! Maybe when all of this is over, we can go for a sail."
• "Press to swing your paint hammer and repaint that door!"
• "Let's repaint that Toad on the bench over there. Maybe he can help us out."
• "So...the wheel isn't spinning because there isn't any water flowing! Let's follow the canal and see what's up with that."
• "It looks like there's some kind of belt that opens the door, but it doesn't seem to be working..."
• "If we can restore color to the waterfall, the water in the canal should start flowing again."
• "The good news is that we should be able to get to the Paint Star up on the third floor now! The bad news is that we're out of toilet paper."
• "Jump and hit the red Mini Paint Star to grab it!"
• "There's a Toad holding a flag near the town entrance in the red district. Maybe he'll be able to tell us something."
• "If you're not sure where to go, try talking to some of the Toads around town. They might be able to point us in the right direction!"
• "Mario, let's go see if the bridge guy has fixed that broken bridge in the blue district yet."
• "Let's cross the bridge. It might make the bridge builder happy!"
• "We need to get up on that roof to get the blue Mini Paint Star, but I'm not sure how to do it! Let's try asking some Toads around here."
• "Let's go to the blue district and get that blue Mini Paint Star!"
• "Hey, now that that sign is straight, try pressing . It might open up a new path!"
• "What are you waiting for? Let's get the blue Mini Paint Star!"
• "I wonder if there's some Thing out there that we can use to grow that tiny Toad into a Rescue Squad-sized Toad..."
• "If we could somehow help that small Toad grow bigger, he'd be able to join the Rescue Squad! Is there a Thing that can help with that?"
• "All right, let's follow Rainbow Road and go rescue Princess Peach!"
• "We've got to return to Black Bowser's Castle if we want to rescue Princess Peach!"
• "This "Wringer" that Luigi mentioned sounds interesting. Let's head to the harbor district in Port Prisma and check it out."

Roshambo Temples

• "A Roshambo tournament? Well, it's important to take breaks sometimes, right? Let's try our luck!"
• "We can enter a Roshambo tournament! It's important to take breaks sometimes, right? Mario, let's try our luck!"
• "I guess we can't enter the Roshambo tournament right now."
• "Ouch. That was painful. Well, you win some, you lose some. We'll do better next time."
• "Huzzah! We won! What a rush! Let's do that again sometime."
• "Mario... Good luck."
• "I never expected THAT was the secret of the Rock Paper Wizard!"

Other

• "It seems like we're lacking something we need to defeat that boss. The know-it-all in Port Prisma might be able to help."
• "Looks like you don't have the right color paint to paint this spot. Try smacking some flowers or trees to get more."
• "Mario, your paint is pretty low after that battle. You can get more paint by smacking flowers and trees with your hammer. It probably works on other things too, so try smacking everything!"
