* "That's right, 4 shades of gray, in a 2x2 character block, that's all we had..."
* "I can't play this game, the colors are all too rich for my poor old eyes!"
* "Why, even the bananas have more frames and colors than I had in the entire game!"
* "Look!...look at this!...as I rock, my beard swings! Waste of frames in my opinion!"
* "Aye! That was when we had real game play, that was!"
* "And this was developed with the latest state-of-the-art 3D workthingys, was it?"
* "The trouble with you kids, is that you're all too soft!"
* "The old games were far harder when I was a young 'un!"

* "I'm talking about when games were games!"
* "3 lives and 3 continues, that's all we had!"
* "Games never looked like this when I was a lad!"
* "And we were much better off in those days as well."
* "Bet you thought this was 64-bit eh, boy?!"
* "I've got more game play in my little finger than you've got in this whole game!"
* "Y'know what they say, all graphics and no game play!"
* "32 meg..? That would be more than 30 games in my day, and they'd be great games, too!"
* "Back in my days, we used to have real game play..."
* "You know what's even worse? When you get to the end, and then have to start again!"
* "You wouldn't know a good game if you were in it!"
* "A single joystick, and a single button is all that's needed to make good game play!"
* "I wouldn't be seen dead in a game like this one!"
* "I say you can't better the graphics, sounds and playability of a Game & Watch!"
* "So you're back again! I knew a punk kid like you couldn't do the job..."
* "That was quick. You didn't leave me enough time to think of any other stupid comments!"
* "I don't know why I'm telling you all this, you didn't listen last time!"
* "You have to do better than that!"
* "You only just left!"
* "Back again?! That was quick!"
* "Came back to the master for more advice, hunh?!"
* "Still got you beat, hunh?!"
* "Yup! Don't make game players like they used to!"
* "Okay, I'll do the level for you!... Naw!.. Only kidding!"
* "I don't know how you dare show your face in here again, after that pitiful performance!"</i>
 
====Goodbyes====
* <i>"That's all folks! There's nothing more I can tell you."
* "You know all you need to know, for now."
* "Come back and see me sometime, I'll be here!"
* "I don't know any more than that at the moment."
* "That's all there is to it. Piece of cake if you ask me."
* "So long, suckers! Try not to hurt yourself out there!"
* "That's all the advice old Cranky here can give you."
* "I'm getting tired, I gotta take me a nap!"
* "You practically know more than I do, now. Well... almost."
* "I don't have anything else to tell you right now, maybe later."
* "I could sit here and rock all day, especially if you two leave me alone!"
* "I gotta go now, I'll see you guys later... if you're lucky!"
* "Well, that's about the size of it!"
* "Say, is that the time? I gotta fly."
* "I could tell you yarns about the old days all day long!"
* "Y'all come back now, hear?!"
* "If you get stuck, come back and see me."
* "Can't say I expect to see you again, but you might get lucky, I guess."
* "It's been nice talking to you guys."
* "Eh sonny? Speak up, I can't hear you!"
* "Donkey Kong, I've seen enough! That tie-- turn it off!"
* "This stereo sound is making my tired old ears bleed! Turn it down before you go!"
* "All this game play is too much for me."
* "I'm back to my cabin for a nap! Remember the original Donkey Kong? Think I'll go play that... see you later!"
* "There's too many baddies around for my liking..."
* "I'm off to lie down!"
* "I'd ask you in, but they didn't have any memory left to display the cabin interior!"
* "Now, off you go!! See if you can't finish this ridiculous quest without my help!"
* "Make sure to shut the gate on your way out. I didn't raise you in a barn!"
* "See ya later, alligator! Ha! Ha!"
* "After a while, crocodile!"</i>
 
====Completion====
* <i>"Well done Donkey my boy! Who'd have thought a young whippersnapper like you could've beaten that bunch of no good Kremlings? You've made an old man proud! Go and look in your hoard, I think you'll be in for a surprise!"
* "If I had been playing, I'd have found everything!"
* "I'm sure there must be some bonus rooms you haven't found!"
* "What a player you are, Donkey my lad! You've beaten the Kremlings, and found absolutely everything! You're nearly as good as I used to be!"
* "Congratulations Red Team!"
* "Congratulations Yellow Team!"
* "You whupped those crafty crocodiles and are first past the post!"
* "Whatever happened to the Yellow Team? I guess those guys need more practice!"
* "Whatever happened to the Red Team? I guess those guys need more practice!"
* "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Red Team! What happened to you two?"
* "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Yellow Team! What happened to you two?"
* "The Yellow Team finished ages ago! Too good for you were they, huh?"
* "The Red Team finished ages ago! Too good for you were they, huh?"
* "Look at the fancy box. Look at the size of this instruction manual. You don't think they would have gone to all this trouble of [sic] the game was any good, do you?!"
* "You're only reading this because you're bored!"
* "I wouldn't believe a word of this! I've been everywhere and I found only two locations, bad ones at that!"
* "I can't believe you're still reading this! What you need is a good trashing!"
* "Bonus Levels? Ha! Don't hold your breath looking for these, there are none."
* "Tired of me? You're lucky I'm here to brighten up this boring manual!"
* "Err... Nope! None of these baddies are in! They must have slipped in the wrong instruction manual or something!"
* "Does anyone ever actually use these memo pages? Waste of paper if you ask me!"</i>
*''"Copy?! Who'd want to copy this game?"''</i>
 
;Defeating a boss (Game Boy Advance only)

*''"Oh, and I almost forgot... There are other items besides bananas, like [[Crystal Coconut]]s! You might even get [[Wrinkly Kong|something good]] for collecting 'em! It looks like you've learned everything I can teach you! If you forget how to use the controls, just go to the Extras, and I'll relearn ya!"''
*''"So... I'm counting on you to take back the medals that awful King K. Rool stole! Whether or not we get to have a competition depends on how well you do!"''
