Bowser

• "Bwaaaa ha ha! The water's great, eh, Jr.?"
• "Mario! How dare you disturb my family vacation?!"
• "Jr., I've got something...difficult...to tell you about Princess Peach..."
• "That's my boy! Well put, son! The royal Koopa line is as strong as ever! But for now...let's just rest awhile."

Bowser Jr.

• "Leave my Mama alone, you bad man! I won't let you take Mama Peach away!"
• "Yeah, Papa told me all about it. He told me my Mama got kidnapped by a bad man named Mario..."
• "So I came here to rescue her!"
• "This...is my magic brush. When I draw with this, all my wishes come true! A strange old man in a white coat gave it to me..."
• "Papa told me everything. He said (imitating Bowser's voice) 'Mario's a bully, he never fights fair!' He said, (imitating) 'Jr., you gotta try to outsmart Mario.' So I tried to get Mario sent to prison, but they didn't lock him up, and now he came to steal Mama Peach again! You...you pest! Stop following us!"
• "Sure is, Papa! Come on in, Mama Peach!"
• "You again?! Don't you ever give up?"
• "I know she's not really my Mama..."
• "Someday, when I'm bigger... I wanna fight that Mario again!"

Chucksters

• "I'm a chuckster!"
• "Don't hold back! Grrrarrgaah!"
• "I may be little, but I never give up!"
• "Higher! Higher!"
• "Howdy! Throw me a coin, and I'll throw you for a loop!"
• "Yeeaaah! And awaaaaay you go!"
• "Howdy! I'm a chuckster! You'd better be careful when speaking to powerful Piantas. Some'll chuck you straight up, but most chuck you backward. When it comes to tossing folk, I'm... Well, I'm a chuckster!"
• "Would you believe my wife can toss people farther than I can? Hurr-gyaar!"

F.L.U.D.D.

• "Power-up complete. Thank you for purchasing this item from Gadd Science, Incorporated. Preparing to register customer information. Scanning and classifying subject data... Subject identified as Mario, resident of the Mushroom Kingdom. Data storage complete. I am F.L.U.D.D.--a Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device. I hope to be of assistance."

• "Use the Button to shoot water from my tank. If you press the Button all the way down, you can stop and shoot. You can then use the Control Stick to aim in any direction. Press the Button to switch to the Hover Nozzle. You can then press the Button to hover in the air for a short time. If this tank is empty, no water can be sprayed. To refill tank, enter a body of water and press the Button. Instructions complete. Proceed!"
• "Mario."
• "I am F.L.U.D.D. Glad to meet you."
• "This appears to be quite a predicament, Mario. Data analysis verifies that the island's inhabitants are indeed troubled by pollution, but the pollution itself is not the main problem. Mario, you witnessed this object at the Airstrip, correct? It is a Shine Sprite. Shine Sprites are the source of power on Isle Delfino. They used to gather in great numbers at the Shine Gate, but the graffiti incident has polluted the island and most of the Shine Sprites have fled. There is no longer any power to support the peaceful lifestyle of the islanders. It is most pitiable. The only way to ensure the return of the Shine Sprites is to keep the island from becoming any dirtier. The perpetrator is likely at work even as we speak. And you, Mario, are being treated as a criminal. Tomorrow we must do our best to resolve this situation."
• "He seems to dislike spicy things! Now is your chance!"
• "What happened? Did the perpetrator get away?"
• "That is Pinna Island. The villain's secret hideout must be there!"
• "A strange old man...in a white coat...?"
• "Well, they do not seem to like bathing..."
• "They seem to go mad with rage when they overheat!"
• "It appears to be heading towards Corona Mountain!"
• "We...did...it..."
• "Mario, was I...of...assis...tance?"
• "The vacation starts now!"

Hotel manager

• "Oh, please tell me my nightmare is over! You can save me!"
• "I don't know why, but you just look very... capable to me..."
• "Listen...it all started around noon. This giant manta-shaped...thing showed up. It was this paper-thin... floating silhouette."
• "It came and covered the hotel grounds in this electric goop."
• "Then... Oh, the horror! My beautiful hotel! My poor building!"
• "It sank in the middle of the awful ooze! Why me? WHY???"
• "Now, I've got the staff cleaning up, but where's my hotel?"
• "What am I supposed to do? I can't just sit back and..."
• "AIIIIGH! It's back! That gossamer ghoul! Do something!"
• "Hey! Ummmmm... It's Mario, right? Yeah. Mario."
• "Listen, I, uh, have a feeling you can help me out again."
• See, the hotel, it's... Well, it's full of... It's full of ghosts!"
• "So, well, could you maybe... Look, just come inside, please."
• "I can tell you're a miracle worker. Don't be so modest."
• "Mario! Please, do come in."

Isle Delfino Police

• "Go straight that way."
• "You can't miss the mess, pal!"
• "Your first job's to get rid of all that ugliness."
• "And remember, we'll be watching you, pal."
• "We'll know if you start slacking off."
• "Hey! Are you slacking off!?"
• "And clean up those walls!! Now, slacker!"
• "Whoa! That water receded in a flash!"
• "You say that flood cleaned up the whole town? Really? Are you absolutely sure about that?"

Mario

• "Super Mario Sunshine! Wahoo!"
• "Looks like a giant pool of paint...!" *
• "Looks like Mario's gonna have to find a job." *
• "The horror." (after losing a life)
• "Mamma mia!" (dying)
• "Arrivederci!" (after losing a life)
• "Mama! Hoo-hah-hoo! Ow! Wow!" (burned)
• "Hoooooot!!!...Hot! Hot!" (burned)
• "Open salami!"
• "Here we go!"
• "Okie-dokie!"

Noki elder

• "Ahhh, welcome! Master Mario, I presume?"
• "We have heard much about you! Yes, and all of it good!"
• "As for me, I am just an old man who loves nothing but fishing."
• "But lately, I have had a terrible problem... please look up there."
• "I don't know who did it, but someone corked our waterfall."
• "This, no doubt, is why our lovely bay has become polluted!"
• "And I can't even fish! And so, I ask for your help. Yank that cork!"
• "Please fulfill this old man's wish... COUGH! HACKPTH! HACKPTH!"
• "What's that? You'll do it?! Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!"
• "I knew I should count on you. Just beware that guy on the cork!"
• "What's that? The water's still polluted? Strange..."
• "Well, this may not seem like much of a reward, but I will reveal to you one of Noki Bay's deepest secrets!"
• "This bay actually contains the tomb of an ancient Noki king!"
• "When you spray the marks on the walls, a path usually opens."
• "One of these paths leads to a hidden Shine Sprite!"
• "You look like you're ready! The gunk in the ocean is caused by... A giant eel!"
• "It's moved into our ancestral home at the sea floor, and it's nursing some nasty cavities there."
• "Let's take a look..."
• "The newly uncorked waterfall created a gap in the pollution that you can use as an entrance!"
• "Jump right in there! Dive to the bottom of the ocean and clean that eel's teeth!"
• "Doing so will ease his pain, and he'll return from whence he came!"
• "No doubt about it. Now, gather your courage and DIVE!"

Noki grandson

• "Oh, Mario! You're finally setting out for the ocean's bottom!"
• "Grandpa is waiting for you up top."
• "Oh, don't forget to wear this..."
• "You can use this rope as a shortcut to reach Grandpa."

Piantas

• "You saved me! Thanks a bundle!"
• "Thanks, sweetums!"
• "Thanks for your help!"

Intro

• "Welcome to the sun-drenched tropical paradise of Isle Delfino!"
• "We're so pleased to welcome you to our beautiful home!"
• "Come enjoy a natural wonderland to which we've added the world's finest resort facilities, a spectacular amusement park, and succulent seafood!"
• "This and more await you on Isle Delfino!"
• "Come relax and let us refresh your body and spirit."

Delfino Airstrip

Delfino Airstrip Dilemma

• "What're you waiting for? Do something! This gooey paint of yours completely covered my friend!!!"
• "Welcome to Isle Delfino! Step right up and get yourself a free tourist map! Press the Z Button to view your map."
• "Huh? Have we met somewhere before? I feel like I've seen you somewhere...and recently, too."
• "Help? Help you? Are you crazy? We're the one who need help! Take that water pump and clean the airstrip, you...you!"
• "Hey, old-timer. Who are you? What's that weird thing you've got on your back? Hee hee!"
• "Wow! A Shine Sprite!"
• "Ah! A Shine Sprite!"
• "Now, I remember! You... You're... Oh, wait. Never mind."
• "Woooo! A Shine Sprite! Was that monster hiding it?"

Red Coins of the Airstrip

• "Wheee! What great weather!"

Bianco Hills

Road to the Big Windmill

• "Huh? You're back again, are you? You seemed like you were in such a hurry last time I saw you."
• "What's going on? Didn't you just come running through here with a big paintbrush? And now you've got that heavy device on your back... Strange..."
• "You want to try climbing on the ropes? It's easy! Never fear! Just get up there and bounce around. You'll be fine."
• "There's a trail here that connects to the Big Windmill. The goop made it too dangerous, so the door's been closed. You might be able to get through at the waterwheel up ahead."
• "Windmills are big spinning things that use wind power. Waterwheels are big spinning thins that use water power. And all of them will spin faster if you give them a good squirting!"
• "D'you need something, mustache-man?"
• "You! You're the guy who's been writing all over the village! You might have fooled the others, but I see right through you! Get out there and clean that mess up, you mustachioed punk!"
• "That's a nice little squirt-tank you got there, sonny! Why don't you water the flowers a bit? They sure need it!"
• "It's too dangerous past this point! None shall pass!"
• "From here on, things get really dangerous! So, no more fooling around!"
• "Whuzzah!? Whozat?! What're you doing over here? You're getting a little ahead of yourself, don't you think? Isn't there something else you should do before coming here?"

Down with Petey Piranha!

• "There was a pretty big tremor a moment ago, wasn't there? I wonder what's going on on the other side of that hill..."
• "I wonder if all that slime is gone yet..."
• "People who jump in this river go PLOOSH! And sometimes PLISH! I know, because I've been standing here watching all day long."
• "Now, look at that! I wonder who broke the gate? I do NOT approve of that!"
• "The goop's taken care of, but now, that big windmill's in trouble..."
• "I just want our peaceful village back to normal!"
• "Hey, mister, you're all wet from playing in the water! Ha ha ha!"
• "Hey, mustache-dude... You think I could borrow that funky squirter of yours?"
• "Sorry to do this, but NO ONE BEYOND THIS POINT!"
• "You won't like this, but NO ONE BEYOND THIS POINT!"
• "Could you help out with the big-headed creature up there? You're the only one we can ask to lend us a hand. I know it's a pain, but...you think you can handle it?"

The Hillside Cave Secret

• "The goop's all gone, and this place is clean again! Now, if we can just get the tourists to come back..."
• "Something's wrong... My women's intuition must be warning me..."
• "Some awful goop fell out of the sky a while ago. It was nasty!"
• "Say... Do you know anything about the Hillside Cave? You can see it from the path that leads to the Big Windmill. As you go up the hill, look right before you reach the bridge. Anyway, I was hanging out near the entrance the other day... Suddenly, this weird-looking guy ran after me! I took off quick! I saw him bust the cave gate open and vanish inside. Yikes!"
• "Even if your clothes get wet, the sun will dry 'em out quick! Ha!"
• "Hey, mustache-man! You're funny looking! ...But kinda cool, too."
• "Lately, I've been seeing a lot of weird creatures around here."
• "Are you the mustachioed guy I've been hearing about?"
• "I heard awful noises in the Hillside Cave on the far shore... What were they? I'm scared..."
• "This is the Cliff Spring Cave. Sorry, but no one's allowed to go in."
• "You can see the Hillside Cave over there, right? A guy came out all covered in goop and ran under the bridge. I wonder if something bad was after him... How disturbing."
• "I came here to tour the Big Windmill... ...and I've got to say, it's spectacular!"

Red Coins of Windmill Village

• "You know, you're the one person who visits me over and over..."
• "I was worried, but now, I figure things can't get much worse."
• "There are red coins all over the place, aren't there? Weird."
• "I can think much better when I'm alone. I used to go to the Hillside Cave for a good think... But now, it's just too scary!"
• "Poinks get all full of water and then they go BOOM! Hee hee!"
• "Water-filled balloon bombs, huh? Sounds good to me!"
• "I can't believe anyone out there does bad things for no reason."
• "I'd much rather get fruit than coins! Know what I mean?"
• "What, are you some kind of coin collector? Neat!"
• "This is the Cliff Spring Cave. You know the drill... NO ONE BEYOND THIS POINT!"
• "I heard something had happened here, so I came to check it out... But there's nothing to see...except for some filth I fell into!"
• "I guess you like climbing up to high places, too? I know the feeling..."

Petey Piranha Strikes Back

• "Oh! Oh! How horrible! I thought we were done with this stuff! I don't even want to open my eyes to see all the slime!"
• "Oh no! That creature appeared again and messed everything up! There was goop going this way, and slime going that way... I think he fell asleep up on the heights to the north of town..."
• "I saw a monster with a super king-sized noggin! It was huge! There's no way that thing was natural!"
• "Bianco Hills is a rather interesting place, huh? We have falling goop and all sorts of other oddities!"
• "Hey! I saw it! It's that big-headed thing from the Big Windmill! It's back!"
• "This is the Cliff Spring Cave. Must I say it? NO ONE BEYOND THIS POINT!"
• "Boy, I looked up and saw this dirty thing fly in from the port! I found a nice place to hide, though. I can relax here..."
• "Look! I think the big-headed monster is sleeping over there. If it wakes up, it'll probably go on another rampage! Can't we just get rid of it while it's snoozing? We just need something to bonk it with..."

Secret of the Dirty Lake

• "I thought we had all this cleaned up, and now this! What in the world is going on in this village?"
• "You know, you've really done so much for us, but I wonder... Will even you be able to deal with this nastiness?"
• "Aww, the lake's all goopy!"
• "You know the Cliff Spring Cave on the far end of the lake? Some nasty ooze came spilling out of it with no warning at all! Now, our beautiful lake is contaminated. It's so yucky!"
• "You know, I've never seen the lake like this before!"
• "If that lake stays like this, the town is done for..."
• "We're playing hide-and-seek! I wonder where my kid sister is hiding..."
• "Now, this is just too much..."
• "He'll never find me here, right? Don't tell my brother! Hee hee!"
• "Since the lake's been like this, the leaf boats have all rotted. They fall apart when you get on them now. That's...not good."
• "Nothing this dirty could ever get back to normal..."
• "Now, this is just a spectacular view!"

Shadow Mario on the Loose

• "Hey...do you have a twin or something?"
• "Hey, didn't I just see you go bounding past here?"
• "There's some weird guy wandering around town! Do you think HE has anything to do with the missing kids?"
• "I don't think those kids would have gone anywhere dangerous... ...but that weird guy who's been running around worries me."
• "What's all the hubbub here? Is something bad happening?"
• "I guess there are worse things than goop on your head... Getting goop down your pants would be much grosser."
• "I can't get out of here! Boo-hoo! Sniff!"
• "That's funny... I can't find my sister."
• "I'm looking for the kids, but I don't think they're around here..."
• "Hey, did you just run past here?"
• "This is the Cliff Spring Cave. It's open, so head on in!"
• "I'm glad I made it all the way up here... But now, my legs are shaky. I wonder if I can get down?"

The Red Coins of the Lake

• "I was thinking that peace would finally return to the village... But with you still around, I have my doubts..."
• "You know, it's just like there's one disaster after another. Not that it's your fault or anything..."
• "This was once a calm place, but now there's way too much hoopla!"
• "Lately, things just seem really out of balance, you know?"
• "I don't even feel safe in the middle of town anymore. But I guess it's better than being alone."
• "I'm sorry, mister! Really, I am. Please don't tell my mother, OK?"
• "WAAAAUGH! I'm sorry, mom! Oh, it's just you."
• "If there were a club for people who get hit with goop a lot... ...I think I'd have a good shot at being club president."
• "This may be a bit sudden, but listen and listen good! Let's say you find yourself hanging from a rope... Shoot just a little water, and you'll start to swing, right? Well, if you have good timing, and you do that several times... ...you'll start spinning around the rope. I swear, it's true! Then, if you let loose with a full stream of water... ...you'll gain crazy momentum, which you can use to jump! Yeah! That's what I like to call the Super Whirl Jump! You can go amazingly far with it. Truly. It's incredible! Don't ask me why I know this. I don't really know myself..."
• "It looks like you've really gotten used to things around here."
• "This is the Cliff Spring Cave. And it's...open! Enter, by all means!"
• "I headed over here to check things out, but nothing's happening. Now, I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to get home..."

Sirena Beach

The Hotel Lobby's Secret

• "Wha...what? We STILL can't go in? What's going on?"
• "Listen to me! We're not going to stand for this! No no NO!"
• "To tell you the truth, I was worried about what might happen..."
• "My apologies, but the hotel is currently still being prepared. We'll let you in as soon as we're able. Please be patient."
• "Look, I'm sorry. So very sorry. Really, awfully sorry. I just work here. I don't know anything. So, please don't yell."
• "Waaah! Help meeeeee!"
• "I was looking at this weird opening on the top of the totem pole... ...and suddenly ghosts came popping out! It really spooked me..."

Pianta Village

Chain Chomp's Bath

• "I'm the one that should be steamed! Bad Chain Chomp!"
• "Maybe I should go to the hot spring to relax myself..."
• "Eeeeeeeeeeeek! Where should I hide?"
• "The Pianta Hot Spring is beyond hot, let me tell you."
• "I've seen the mayor pop up out of there before..."

Pianta judge

• "Court is now in session!"
• "Overruled!"
• "I judge the defendant guilty as charged!"
• "I hereby order the defendant to clean this entire island."
• "Until Isle Delfino is completely free of his vile handiwork, Mario shall not be allowed to leave!"
• "Court adjourned."

Pianta mayor

• "Hey, you! We're got another problem over here! This thing's bigger than all those pups put together! When it's chained up there's no problem, of course, but... When that thing's loose, we're in a heap of trouble. Oh, yes! That beast's owner always has burnt hands. It's pitiful..."

Pianta prosecutor

• "As you are no doubt aware, someone has been senselessly defacing fair Isle Delfino using some paint-like substance."
• "The accused is charged with polluting our beautiful home, and yes, endangering our very way of life."
• "Indeed, how can one not be aware of what is going on?"
• "Though it is daytime in Delfino Plaza, our poor residents tremble beneath a veil of darkness."
• "Expert Shine scholars have determined that this darkness has arisen because all of our guardians, the Shine Sprites, have vanished from their gathering spot at the Shine Gate."
• "The reason? It's quite obvious. This horrible graffiti is to blame!"
• "Behold this sketch of the perpetrator based on eyewitness descriptions."
• "The truth is obvious. The guilty party sits among us. It is none other than Mario!"

Princess Peach

• "Ooh, look at that!"
• "Mario...!?"
• "That...that shadow...?"
• "Toadsworth, did you see...?"
• "What happened?"
• "Um, excuse me, but..."
• "Mario, be careful! I have a bad feeling about this..."
• "Nice work, Mario!"
• (with Toadsworth) "Objection!"
• "...What?"
• "...Mario?"
• (skirt falls down) "Mario!!"
• "Oh!"
• "Mama? Mama Peach? I'm your mama?" - to Bowser Jr.
• "So, you're Bowser's son..."
• "So the graffiti... that was you?"
• "But why would you pretend to be Mario?" - to Bowser Jr.
• "No! Mario!"
• "Nice work, Mario."
• "Ummm... I think not."
• "Mario!"
• "Mario, look!"

Shadow Mario

• "Ow ow ow OW! Not fair! Completely unfair!"
• "You shouldn't be allowed to use tools like that!"
• "Darn! And I was just about to ride that Yoshi, too!"
• "Darn it all! I'll remember this!"
• "Darn! And I was just about to turbo-dash, too!"
• "Darn! And I was just about to rocket-jump, too!"

Sunglasses vendor

• "I love the sunshine, but OOOH! Is it ever bright!"
• "Here, little man. Try a pair of my special sun shades. They're cool!"
• "Yeah heh heh... You're styling now!"
• "Come back and talk to me when you don't need them anymore."
• "Hey! Sun shades alone just won't cut it for you. Nope!"
• "You also need one of my custom tropical shirts. Here you go!"
• "My, oh my! I haven't seen anyone look that good in my gear in ages!"
• "Come see me again when you want to return them, OK?"
• "You had enough? Come by anytime it's too bright for you, OK, little man?"

Toadsworth

• "Now now, boys! Don't touch that stuff!"
• "Are you starting a new career?" *
• "I am most concerned with the well-being of the princess in this dreadful heat."
• "Master Mario, if you would, cross over to that shore and find some assistance."
• "Master Mario! Remember, the Button is key! Use it to show me some of your famous jumps!"
• "Mm, quite an unusual device..."
• "Is that some sort of pump?"
• (with Princess Peach) "Objection!"
• "Princess, look! On the statue's head!"
• "I can't imagine what the poor princess is going through..."
• "Mario! Please save her!"
• "Oh, I hope nothing bad happens to our dear princess..."
• "Master Mario! Please help her!"

Toads

• "What's this icky, paint-like goop?"
• "It's moving!"
• "Ick, Mario! It's all... goopy."
• "We came all this way, and now look! Everything's spoiled!"
• "Oh... this is the worst. Mario! Please go get some help!"
• "It looks like this gunk is coming from somewhere below."
• "It's really slippery, so watch your step."
• "Hey, someone's coming!"
• "There seems to be an amusement park on that island... You know, the one that the princess was taken to..."
• "Horrible! Horrible! Princess Peach has been kidnapped!"
• "The princess is on that island! I think it's called Pineapple or something... How do you think you can get there?"
• "Mario! Is the princess OK?"
• "Oh, Mario, is the princess going to be OK?"
• "Oh, Mario! Will the princess be OK?"
• "What's going to happen to the princess, Mario?"
• "The princess is going to be all right, isn't she?"
