We need to find those Royal Stickers! Let's get going!

| Before Sling-a-Thing business opens.

It bothers me that I had never seen a sticker type like the one we used in that fight on the Warn Fuzzy Plains. Let's go ask around Decalburg.

I feel so bad for that poor, crying Toad. Maybe we can do something for him?
|
|
| Before turning the windmill in Hither Thither Hill.

I was just thinking, maybe there was something useful stored in the warehouses at Surfshine Harbor.
|
|
| Before reading the slate in Damp Oasis.

|
Did you understand what was written on that slate in the Damp Oasis? I say we explore Drybake Desert.
|

Now that we've returned the oasis to its normal state, I wouldn't mind getting a taste of that resort life. That cottage looked pretty high end. I'd love to get a better look inside.
|
|
| Before finding the Tablet Piece in Yoshi Sphinx.
|
Did we find everything at the Yoshi Sphinx? I feel like I saw something flashing on the tip of its tongue.

- That's a pretty big tree. You really want to hike up that? Isn't there a lift or something we can use instead?
- This definitely feels like a boy's room. Though it's pretty clean, considering!
- Living in a tree... Yeah, that seems like Wiggler all over.
Advice
- First, let's find the first segment of Wiggler's body.
- Where could the second segment of Wiggler's body be?
- We've got to catch the third segment of Wiggler's body.
- Let's find the forth segment of Wiggler's body. That's the last one! Let's do it!
- Wiggler said he was waiting at Whitecap Beach, didn't he?
- Even the idea of a poison lake makes me feel ill. We need to do something about that poison. Fast.
Advice
- Wiggler's segment must still be somewhere around Strike Lake.
- Floating downstream on a leaf should be relaxing, but I can't help but notice the astounding amount of poison around us.
- A hilltop with an ocean view sounds so romantic. The poison kind of ruins it, though...
- A burrow? I have a REALLY bad feeling about this...
- Erm... In case you haven't noticed, I don't have any arms or legs, so DO SOMETHING!
- This is going to scar my psyche. I can just FEEL it. Don't let these things snatch you!
NOTE: When the player loses Kersti, attempting to talk to here will result in this message: Kersti's not here. You can't speak to someone who's not here.
- Visibility is really poor here, so watch your step.
- Time to show off your jumping skills! If you fall in, you're definitely getting an exfoliating poison bath.
- That's a suspiciously big tree stump... I bet there's something below it.
- You'll have to think of the answers yourself. You can't expect me to know everything!
- Careful with your footing around here: there are holes everywhere. Bet you wish you could float like me. Ha!
- The beach! That sea breeze feels so nice! Shame about the poison.
- Snow! This is the first time I've ever seen it! Amazing!
- Hey, shouldn't those weird sliding things stop for crossing pedestrians? What a bunch of road hogs.
- These hills are making me tired. Snow's pretty and all, but it's hard to walk in. Or even float over.
- It looks a bit tidier now that the snow drifts have all melted away, right?
Advice
- Nothing like some hot paperisation on a cold day. Let's get warmed up!
- The river is frozen and slippery! What's worse, those weird things are sliding all over the place again!
- It's cold and dark. And slippery. Cold, dark and slippery. Be careful.
- Even the waterfall's frozen. Weird. It's as if time has stopped.
- What a fantastic mansion! And in such a remote spot in the mountains.
- What a huge hall. Maybe this is some celebrity's house.
- Mario, you're more than just a little bit afraid, aren't you?
- Yeah, it's snowing outside, as usual. Get inside quick. It's too cold!
- Ugh, it really smells mouldy or something. And if paper gets mouldy, it's all over.
- When you stop for a good look at this house, you have to admit that it is SERIOUSLY nice.
Advice
- When it's this cold, everything freezes over.
- We're pretty high up now... And it's even colder up here because of the altitude.
- We're going to ride a chairlift? YEEEEESSS!!!
- Wow, look down! This is so exciting! Chairlifts are the best!
- Whoa, this cave is dark! Although, are there really any bright caves?
- Wow, now we're back outside! This chairlift is INCREDIBLE! Let's goooo!
- Wha...? The chairlift ride is over? Boo. Let's go one more time!
- Hm? What is this line? It must be for something exciting! Though I don't know how they could top that chairlift!
- Are we starting yet? Are we? Now? I am SO excited.
- WAAAAAAHHH! STOP-STOP-STOP! I'M TOO SCAAAAARED!
- I... I... I don't feel very well...
- We're riding that... thing again? Ugh... I'll try not to scream.
Advice
- Let me teach you a famous saying that'll help you remember how crucial it is to paperise when you're at a loss: "Stucky? Paperisation makes you lucky!"
- Jungles are really hot and humid. Fun fact: that's not good for paper.
- Who thought they could just dump rubbish here? Wasting paper drives me crazy!
- This is one fast-flowing jungle river, eh? No wonder it's so loud.
- I can't do anything for you. Sorry! Good luck on the rapids!
- I can't do anything to help. Sorry! Be careful in all this murkiness.
- Oh no! I got wet from the splash zone of that waterfall. I HATE getting wet!
- I can't believe there are ruins like these so deep in the jungle...
- Phew! Is it just me or is it absolutely boiling round here?
- Frozen rock solid! Now that's what I call cold!
Advice
- Careful of the lava! It descends with enough force to punch a hole in the ground. Needless to say, it'll hurt if it hits you!
- We're going into the crater?! Niiice!
- Wow, we're really far down now. It's the magma that's making it so hot, right? Stupid magma.
- You've never been eaten by a flower before? I have. It's AWFUL!
NOTE: When the player loses Kersti, attempting to talk to her will result in this message: ""Kersti's not here. You can't speak to someone who's not here.""
- Hmm, you're right. No matter how hard you stare at it, it just looks like any other cliff wall.
- Light from the Royal Stickers... What power DON'T they have?!
- Paperisation complete! Now, what's the meaning of THAT?!
- Bowser's castle is hiding around here somewhere. It has to be!
- That little brat has quite the toy collection. Must be nice, being spoilt.
- An entrance in the shape of your own face... That's not vain at all.
- It feels like... the finale, doesn't it? To be honest, I'm a little nervous.
- One taste of those spikes below and you're done for! Talk about poor interior design decisions!
- Bowser's face is on the floor too? Well, this bloke has no design sense whatsoever.
