List of Snake's codec conversations

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Snake can use his codec in the Shadow Moses Island stage to gather information from other Metal Gear characters about his opponents from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, through a codec conversation.

Due to all of the codec conversations being reused and mostly unchanged in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, much of the dialogue makes references to elements of Brawl that are no longer applicable to Ultimate, such as the former's title, and is the same for all alternate character models. No new codec conversations were recorded for characters that did not appear in Brawl.

The following is the complete list of Super Mario-related codec conversations.

Mario

• Colonel: Snake, you know who that is?
• Snake: You're kidding, right? It's Mario.
• Colonel: Mario made his first appearance in 1981, and since then, he's become a worldwide phenomenon. There's probably not a single person who doesn't know Mario. He's that famous.
• Snake: Good thing I survived long enough to meet him on the field of battle, huh.
• Colonel: This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Snake. Now get out there and show him what you're made of. No regrets.
• Snake: Got it.

Donkey Kong

• Snake: Otacon, there's a gorilla wearing a tie here. He's huge.
• Otacon: That's Donkey Kong. As you can tell, he's got strength to spare. He may be king of the jungle, but he lives in a house just like you or me. And he seems pretty smart--well, for an ape, anyway. The Donkey Kong who fought that epic battle with Mario was this guy's grandfather.
• Snake: That was a long time ago. What about this Donkey Kong? Does he get along with Mario?
• Otacon: Nope, they're still at it. Seems like they're always competing in something--kart racing, sports, you name it.
• Snake: A chip off the old block...

Yoshi

• Snake: Otacon! What's this lizard thing?
• Otacon: That's a Yoshi. It's a dinosaur from Yoshi's Island. Watch out for its long, chameleon-like tongue. If it gets you, you'll be swallowed whole.
• Snake: It lays eggs and throws them, right? ...Then it must be female.
• Otacon: ...Actually, it's a "he." At least, that's what it says.
• Snake: It talks!?
• Otacon: Yes! It talks! Well, kind of...
• Snake: Now you've got me curious. ...How about I capture one so we can see what they taste like?
• Otacon: Uhh, Snake...

Peach

• Snake: Mei Ling, tell me what you know about Peach.
• Mei Ling: Princess Peach is the beloved ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. She's been kidnapped numerous times by Bowser.
• Snake: Sounds pretty serious...
• Mei Ling: Yes, but every time it happens, Mario ends up saving her. Sure, he may not look like your ideal "knight in shining armor." A little on the short side, I'd say... But still, don't you think it's romantic? I mean, to have a guy who's always there for you?
• Snake: If he was smart, he'd tell her to stop getting kidnapped.
• Mei Ling: ...You don't get a lot of dates, do you, Snake?

Bowser

• Colonel: Careful, Snake! That's the great and terrible Bowser!
• Snake: Bowser? Looks like a cheap movie monster.
• Colonel: Hardly. Bowser leads an entire army of monsters. But I'd worry more about his claws and fire if I were you.
• Snake: Doesn't look that tough to me. Seems kind of slow, actually.
• Colonel: Well, he is the king of Koopas. It's only natural he'd be slow. But that's only because he's the heaviest fighter here--by far. He's a powerhouse of destruction. Careful he doesn't flatten you.

Diddy Kong

• Snake: Otacon, there's a chimpanzee here wearing a Nintendo hat.
• Otacon: That's Diddy Kong. He's Donkey Kong's partner. Not only is he lightweight, he can use a wide range of weapons as well. He can fly using those barrel jets on his back, and he can shoot nuts with his Peanut Popgun.
• Snake: Peanuts? As in the ones in the little shells? Are you serious?
• Otacon: Wait, here's the best part. You see them lying on the ground after he shoots? If you pick up some of those peanuts, they'll restore your health a little.
• Snake: Hmm. Edible ammunition, huh... Times sure have changed.

Trivia

• Snake states that Diddy Kong is a chimpanzee, which is false. Chimpanzees do not possess tails like Diddy himself does; he looks more similar to a spider monkey instead.
• Otacon’s line about peanuts being edible is only applicable in Brawl.

Wario

• Snake: This guy kind of gives me the creeps.
• Colonel: That's Wario, Snake. Wario first appeared as Mario's rival, but he really made his name in the WarioWare games. Watch out for Wario's bite. It's not just damage you take from it.
• Snake: What do you mean, Colonel?
• Colonel: Wario loves garlic. He eats whole cloves of it day and night. So try not to get caught in his mouth. Once that smell gets on you, it'll stick to you for quite a while.
• Snake: ...That's a scary thought.
• Colonel: He also attacks by farting. He can fart to fly around, too.
• Snake: By farting?! Are you kidding me?!
• Colonel: Sadly, no. I am not kidding. If his belly starts to bulge, watch out.

Luigi

• Snake: That guy with the mustache...
• Colonel: Ha. You mean the "King of Second Bananas"?
• Snake: Hey, that's Luigi! Show him a little respect!
• Colonel: Look at that pale skin. He's been living in his brother's shadow for too long.
• Snake: That's a low blow, Colonel!
• Colonel: Face it, Snake! Once a kid brother, always a kid brother!
• Snake: Colonel, what's gotten into you?!
• Colonel: La li lu le lo. La li lu le lo. La li lu le lo.
• Snake: Colonel, snap out of it! Colonel!! Coooooooloneeeeeel!
