Battle Lab Toad[edit]

  • "Woof! I mean...put up your dukes! I mean...come to the Battle Lab and put up your dukes! I mean...I run the Battle Lab in Toad Town. You should stop by sometime. It's near the museum!"
  • "Yeah, unless you know a shortcut. Like maybe that pipe up ahead on Overlook Mountain? Ahh, I'm still feeling a bit doggy, so I'm gonna woof it back. Hope to see you at the Battle Lab! Awoooo!"
  • "...Oh, I forgot to mention, we have a membership drive going on right now. Free gift for new members! ...Woof."
  • "Awoooo—I mean, woooo! It's you! Remember me? I'm the Battle Lab Toad you rescued a while ago. I guess that makes me a Battle Lab lab, in a way. I mean, if I had been a Labrador, which I wasn't. Um... I'm kind of better at training than talking. Why don't you come on in and I'll show you?"
  • "Yes! You came! Welcome to the Battle Lab. Now that we're under threat from those folded freaks, my setup may be of some use to you. You'll find the absolute latest technology, precisely engineered to develop your fighting skills. No towel service, though. Oh! But I told you about the membership drive, right? Here's your free gift!"
  • "You know how to use that thing, right? Just keep it on you...and if the going gets really tough, it'll give you a second chance. If you need more, check out the local shop, OK?"
  • "Hey, welcome back, Mario! I've been waiting to show you something new."
  • "It's called the Timer Extender! Are you tired of the ol' battle timer hitting zero before you're finished lining up your enemies? Well, this doodad will automatically pull some of your coins to bump that timer back up once per turn! It even has a "bankruptcy blocker" function that lets you set a cap on the amount of coins it pulls."
  • "I call it...the Puzzle Solver! You ever find some of these battle puzzles a bit TOO tricky? Honestly, who wouldn't? Use this machine to spot the best, uh, spot for enemy placement with a big ol' symbol! Puzzle SOLVED! You don't even have to spend coins or anything! It just works and works and works. Talk about a good deal!"
  • "You can set it up by opening the menu with Plus Button and turning it On with ⚙. No thanks necessary, Mario. I'm just happy to be helping a real hero!"
  • "Go on—try out any machine you like. You're not gonna break 'em!"
  • "Ah, the hammer training machine. Good choice! It'll teach you how to perfectly time your hammer attacks...and totally shred your lats."
  • "Going for the boots training machine? Good idea! Anyone can squash a Goomba, but after you use this machine, you'll be timing those jump attacks like a pro."
  • "Ah, getting some guard work in. Great thinking! If you can't beat 'em, at least minimize the damage they're doing while they pulverize you!"
  • "Ah, that's the ring training machine. You ever get in a scuffle with some Folded Soldiers and you panic and line 'em up all weird? Well, here's your chance to work on that! And no one will attack you if you don't get it right. You've got two modes to try. There's your basic The Ringer mode, with 10 problems to solve per level... And Speed Rings mode, where you get [number] seconds to clear as many enemy lineups as you can."
  • "Ah, that one's not fully installed yet. But you're gonna love it when it's all done! It's a VR boss-battle machine! Come talk to me after you take out a boss and I'll explain more."
  • "Ah, this one's finally ready for you. The question is...are you ready for IT?! Yep, this baby is the latest in VR. It's called the Bossotronic Animated Machine Fighter, or just Bossotronic Fighter for short. Once you step into this bad boy, it's like you're stepping right back into a boss fight. But this time, you won't get a game over if you lose. You'll have the same kind of items and be about as strong as you were the first time around. It's crazy immersive! Anyway, go nuts in there if you want. If you can take out all the bosses a second time, there's even some kind of prize!"
  • "Wanna do some boots attack training?"
  • "Wanna do some hammer attack training?"
  • "Wanna do some guard training?"
  • "Wanna do some ring training?"
  • "You wanna use the Bossotronic Animated Machine Fighter?"
  • "Too late!"
  • "Too early!"
  • "Perfect!"
  • "Hey, I've got something for you if you can beat all of the Bossotronic Animated Machine Fighter bosses!"
  • "Nicely done, Mario! To be honest, I wasn't even sure that was possible. Here, you've more than earned this!"

Birdo[edit]

  • "Now I've got Mario madness... and you've got the only cure."

Bob-omb[edit]

  • "Me? Well... I'm Bob-omb."
  • "You know that memory-loss thing? What's it called... Ambrosia? Amnesty? Thinky Thinky Panic? Whatever you call it, I've got it—big time."
  • "My name is not Bombert. I am Bob-omb!"'
  • "Oh wait. I don't have arms."
  • "Heh. Right. I'm sure you'd stay TOTALLY on-task in there, ma'am. 'No distractions,' she says..."
  • "I guess we have to check out Shogun Studios after all, huh?"
  • "Yeah...she's not even thinking about the streamer anymore."
  • "You want me to pet her? Uhhh… I’m good, thanks."
  • "That wouldn’t be very Big M-like, Big M."
  • "Yo! Big M! You can’t leave without THAT!"
  • "WHOA! Toad overload! I didn’t catch a word of that mess. Can one of you summarize…whatever that was?"
  • "I don’t think we should try our luck on the Great Sea without an experienced, Big M."
  • "Whoa. How did a fish get all the way up this mountain?"
  • "OK! Now that sea captain can take us out to sea! Let’s rush back to the port in town, Big M."
  • "This is what every Bob-omb hopes for—a chance to change something for the better. To make an impact."

Bowser[edit]

  • "Nobody makes Bowser walk with his face!"
  • "My minions! You monsters... I won't forget this. I'm gonna unfold my body and fold YOURS into pretzels!"
  • "Now, Mario... Ignore your floating friend and get me down from here. Bowser commands you!"
  • "She can't see me like this..."
  • "I know what you're going to do to my minion, so CUT IT OUT!!!"
  • "Do you know who I am!?"
  • "Bahaha! You heard him. It was luck! So let's cut the pity party and bust into that castle already!"
  • "Hey, origami girl! Look at me. I'm Bowser! I breathe fire and punch through solid rock sometimes! You think I'm scared of that little twerp?"
  • "Bah! Pipes are your thing. I'll be here when you get back."
  • "What?! That's crazy talk. The Toads can't come back from that, you know."
  • "BWAHAHA! I love it! Nice work, origami girl!"
  • "BWAHAHA! You got beat by a paper powerhouse! Eat gravity, you jerk!"
  • "GUH! HRNGH! This guy's tougher than he looks! I might...need some backup..."
  • "GRAH! HRRNGH! I'm gonna lose at this rate... Make yourself useful, Mario! Hit that thing!"
  • "ARGH! No! C'mon, Mario! Use that thing again!"
  • "Hey! Hurry it up, Mario!"
  • "Whose side are you on?!"
  • "Aw yeah!"
  • "Yeah! YEAH!"
  • "BWAHAHA! That's it!"
  • "More! MORE!"
  • "What are you doing?!"
  • "Are you crazy?!"
  • "Let's settle this!"
  • "How do ya like THAT?!"
  • "Behold my pushy power!"
  • "Keep pounding the floor! More! MORE!"
  • "This looks like the end! I'm too cool to go down like this!"
  • "GUHH! Too much cardio! I...I can't hold on!"
  • "Nooo! It's like pulling a bandage off halfway!" (After canceling pulling Bowser)

Bowser Jr.[edit]

  • "Ta-daa! How do I look?"
  • "No! Dad's airship!"
  • "Aww, man! Dad's not gonna be happy about the airship. His insurance premiums are already so high! And where are we, anyway?"
  • "Dad! You're OK! I was worried you got folded up even smaller or something. We'll be right there!"

Captain T. Ode[edit]

  • "That won't...be necessary. Burn not paper with fire, lest ye yourself become singed."
  • "Allow me to introduce myself. I am indeed the Toad...known as Ode. Captain T. Ode, to be precise. I have survived the interminable passage of eons here in this arctic prison. Now...I am free!"
  • "Cream and three sugars."
  • "Ah, the sea chart. And the Great Sea herself... Yes, everything is coming back to me... In this moment...I am as a bird in a cage. I yearn to sail free at the helm of my Marino, underneath the great cresting waves. I shall require the sea chart, as well as my noble vessel. Make it so!"
  • "In this moment...I am as a bird in a cage. I yearn to sail free at the helm of my Marino, underneath the great cresting waves."
  • "So my Marino rests in a "musée," as you call it? It is no place for her adventurous spirit. She yearns to break free! You have my thanks, strange one. I know what I must do."
  • "Ah, my precious Marino. Still beautiful. Still formidable. And yet time marches on..."
  • "What is lost may never be found. All that remains is a shattered reflection, like a teardrop in a pond. ...But yes, I have the sea chart. I propose a trade! Convey me and my vessel to the Great Sea and you shall have my chart."
  • "You have my gratitude. And...you may now have this."
  • "A voyage of a thousand fathoms begins with the flooding of a single ballast tank..."
  • "Press L Button to view my sea chart."
  • "The red boat marks your current position. Check my sea chart as you go to keep from getting lost. It's mostly blank right now, but I'll add any new islands we discover along the way."
  • "I've already mapped one island on this sea. Menacing... Skull-shaped... I named it...Bonehead Island."
  • "Bonehead Island is said to hide a secret tied to the fog surrounding the Great Sea. Let's start there."
  • "Press Directional Buttons to dive in the submarine. If you dive in a suspicious spot, there's no telling what you'll find... Set a course for Bonehead Island. Make it thusly!"
  • "Ahh, spit aloft by the Great Sea..."
  • "Fear not. My sea chart shall guide us."
  • "A square island. Curious. What mysteries await us there, I wonder?"
  • "Ah, so that's the vessel known as the Princess Peach? How...subtle."
  • "It's shaped like a heart. I'll call it... Heart Island."
  • "Ah, an iconic, familiar club shape. I'll call this one...Club Island."
  • "This one is unmistakably spade-shaped. We'll call it...Spade Island."
  • "A question mark. I see. Then I shall name this enigmatic isle...? Island. Hm. This one definitely works better on paper."
  • "A hammer, floating alone among the waves. I'll call it...Hammer Island."
  • "That's definitely a Mushroom. Only one choice here... Mushroom Island."
  • "This is a moon—a partial crescent moon, to be precise. In that case, we'll name it...Crescent Moon Island."
  • "A tower standing in the Great Sea. That's...the Sea Tower. Obviously."
  • "Ah! Fortune smiles on us."
  • "Nothing here."
  • "Looks like there's something here. Shall we investigate further?"
  • "We might be able to find yet more unknown treasures. Try diving into suspicious stretches of water."
  • "The Marino can't dive with all this fog on the surface..."
  • "Tilt Left Stick to examine your surroundings."
  • "Use Left Stick to examine your surroundings."
  • "There's something here. Press A Button to extend the arms."
  • "Tilt Left Stick to move the arms."
  • "Use Left Stick to move the arms."
  • "OK! Now grab hold!"
  • "Pull it in!"
  • "Excellent. Let's return to the surface."
  • "It won't budge."
  • "I've seen things you wouldn't believe...but a huge diamond on the sea floor? That's new to me."
  • "Ah! An opening..."
  • "That doesn't seem right."
  • "Shall we return to the surface?"
  • "Don't surrender to fear. You must explore this island. Secrets await... and I want to hear what they are."
  • "Ah. The crescent moon has filled out to become a FULL moon... Thus, Crescent Moon Island shall now be known as...Full Moon Island."
  • "Hmm. A hidden jewel, lost to time, slumbering beneath the waves... It seems so familiar. I would swear I've heard a legend about this place. I won't try to force a name upon it. Suffice to say, this "island" is as rare as a diamond."
  • "If you wish to return to the surface of the Great Sea, just say the word."

Colored Pencils[edit]

  • "Aw, man! You were almost out of the picture...for good."
  • "I'm sick and tired of Philistines like you ERASING all of my hard work, man."
  • "You probably haven't heard of me, right? Figures. When was the last time you even went to a gallery?"
  • "Pfft. Don't answer. I'm gonna give you an art lesson for free."
  • "The name's Jean-Pierre Colored Pencils the 12th. I represent the Legion of Stationery, I'll have you know!"
  • "Anyway, I'm guarding this streamer, and I'll scribble on your flat face if that's what it takes to stop you."
  • "Feast your eyes upon my art-senal! Twelve colored pencils, ready to make your paper bodies my canvas!"
  • "Locked on targets!"
  • "They ALL missed?! No...my missiles are flawless! It's the TARGET that's all wrong!"
  • "No! NO! My lid is closed! I can't stop my missiles!"
  • "Did you enjoy my BITING critique?"
  • "Reload complete! And I have plenty more where these came from!
  • "Ugh. Everyone's a critic. I won't let my work be disrespected like this! Time to roll out my masterpiece..."
  • "Behold my Rainbow Roll!"
  • "Ugh...no way. Defeated by a no-name, no-talent piece of disgusting POP CULTURE! You were better when you were a sidescroller, man..."

DJ Toad[edit]

  • "Yo, yo, yo! Don't do that! I'll queue up something...groovy...with the quickness, my man!"
  • "Mario! You've got to save me! This guy is such a weirdo! He keeps asking for "groovy" music to "cut a rug" to. Do I look like I'm 100 years old? I'm a DJ, man! I have no idea what that means! My face is at stake here, y'all. MY FACE. You've got to help!"
  • "I don't know...this guy's taste in music makes no sense to me, but he is VERY opinionated. He doesn't like any of the music that I put on, and he won't come out of that room."
  • "Anyway, here's how you can help. I dropped some of my sound discs on the way in here. Maybe one of those discs has a tune this guy will actually like. I'll try to buy some time while you're looking. Just get those discs and bring 'em back to me. There are four of them, yo!"
  • "Yo, that's not a sound disc."
  • "All right, this one goes out to all the terrifying monsters in the house. Let's get into it!"
  • "He's, uh, not a fan... Try one of the other discs! There should be more around this place somewhere."
  • "Well...at least he likes the song. But we've gotta do something about the dance floor! Normally filling the dance floor is my specialty, but this clown won't let me play my jams! Wait! Maybe we can get those faceless Toads to help. They'll dance to anything, right?"
  • "Here, take this ancient portable music machine. It's already got a disc inside, so just walk around bumpin' it and I know those faceless Toads will follow. We need about 40, I'd say. Good luck!"
  • "Forty Toads make a party, Mario. Good luck!"
  • "Hey, you did it! You got enough Toads to set this party OFF! Let's get 'em on the dance floor and see what happens."
  • "Yo, yo, yo! It's DJ Toad bringing you the...uh, well not the LATEST hits, but... It's music! Get out on the dance floor with those faceless freaks and our special guest, Mario!"
  • "Yo, yo, yo! That was something else, man. You brought down the house! But, uh...don't you have one more thing to do right now?"
  • "Yo, yo, yo! That was HOT. Thanks for the help, Mario. You can hit me up at the hotel in town any time you like. Bandages are half off on Mummies Night! Ha! Just playin'. For real though, come check out my set down by the pool. It's hot!"
  • "...For real, though, I think you could probably dig up [1/2/3] more of my discs somewhere around here."
  • "See you at the hotel. Peace!"
  • "Yo, yo, yo! Good to see you again, my man!"
  • "Oh, you found some more of my discs? Word! The playlist was getting stale for sure."
  • "Hit me with a request!"

Emcee Shy Guy[edit]

  • "I said... Ladies and gentlemen!"
  • "It's time for... Shy Guys Finish Last"
  • "Welcome to the show! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wish you were in the audience instead of onstage!"
  • "Please join me in welcoming your host for today, the fabulous and talented Emcee Shy Guy. That's me!"
  • "Now, to meet today's contestant..."
  • "It's Mario! Give it up for Mario!"
  • "Now, let's see what kind of fabulous prizes await our contestant. Ooh...today's winner will receive an exclusive invitation to the Spring of Rainbows. Ooh, aah!"
  • "So, whaddaya say? Ready to play?"
  • "Look who's back! It's our favorite contestant, Mario!"
  • "Look who's back! It's our returning champion and Quiz Master himself, none other than Mario! Give it up!"
  • "You...what? You won't play?"
  • "Cut the cameras! Go to commercial![sic]"
  • "So, whaddaya say? Ready to play for a chance to visit the fabulous Spring of Rainbows?"
  • "All right! Now, Kamek, if you wouldn't mind, please make your way to the spectator zone."
  • "Fantastic! Now, let's have a look at the board."
  • "Want to hear the rules again?"
  • "We've got four categories with three challenges each. That's a grand total of 12 mind-melting puzzles! All you need to do is score 100 points to unlock your invitation to the fabulous Spring of Rainbows. One last piece of business... The categories will be selected randomly! Ooh, what a twist!"
  • "Ring Scramble will test your ring control and your visual memory. Good luck!"
  • "The Race 'n' Place game will test your eyesight and your memory. Good luck!"
  • "Ninji Skills will test your dynamic vision tracking. Good luck!"
  • "The Bath Math game will test your memory and your math skills. Good luck!"
  • "Heeeeeeere we..."
  • "Start up the music! Let's..."
  • "GO!"
  • "Ladies and gentlemen...we are down to ONE. FINAL. CHALLENGE. For all the marbles!"
  • "Take a good look... We're going to scramble this picture beyond recognition."
  • "Now...unscramble it using a limited number of ring moves in a limited amount of time. Good luck!"
  • "It's a day at the races! Watch the finish closely, and try to remember the exact results."
  • "Who won? Who lost? Who tried really hard? All that matters is finisher #[number]. Put that minion in the blue box to win!"
  • "Who won? Who lost? Who tried really hard? Line them up in the order they finished within the blue-bordered area to win!"
  • "On your marks..."
  • "You've got to fill up the blue box with minions in the right order!"
  • "Next time, put someone in the blue box within the time limit!"
  • "Let's take a peek at the correct answer."
  • "We're going to shuffle some random minions in with one or more Ninjis. Can you keep track of the Ninjis after we shuffle?"
  • "Put any and all Ninjis in the area with a blue border. Make sure ONLY Ninjis are in there! Good luck."
  • "You've got to finish putting the Ninjis in the area with the blue border!"
  • "Oh, time's up. Remember, you were supposed to put all of the boxes that contain Ninjis within the blue border."
  • "Here's how this game works... It's easy! Just count the number of Goombas remaining in the hot spring at the end. Simple, right?"
  • "All right, you've got your Goomba number in your head... Now just use the rings to formulate the answer! Be sure to put a number or symbol in all four slots within the area with the blue border, OK? Good luck!"
  • "Mario, you need a number or symbol in each slot within the area with the blue border to make the correct equation, OK?"
  • "Oh, time's up! Remember, you need to line up the numbers and symbols to show your answer using each slot within the blue box."
  • "The rings have been set. The answer awaits. But is it the right answer? There's only one way to find out..."
  • "Let's take a look at the scoreboard."
  • "That's worth [number] points! Congratulations!"
  • "That isn't gonna help you out any. Zero points!"
  • "That adds up to a grand total of [number] points. You still need [number] more points to win!"
  • "Your total so far is [number] points. That means you need [number] more points to qualify for Sudden Death..."
  • "Let's move on to the next challenge, shall we?"
  • "Whoa, that's 100 points. You've done it!"
  • "Oh no! Even if Mario gets everything right from here on out, he still can't get enough points to win. And you know what that means..."
  • "What a ride! You competed in every category on the board and came up juuuuust short. So sorry!"
  • "Game over!"
  • "We'd love to have you back someday. Thanks for playing! Goodbye, Mario!"
  • "It's time for the..."
  • "Bonus Round!"
  • "Here's how it works. You'll get one final challenge. Get it right and you'll be moving on! Get it wrong and...well, things can't get any worse, can they? I should probably mention that the bonus round costs [number] coins!"
  • "Whaddaya say? Do you want to spend [number] coins to compete in the bonus round?"
  • "Are you sure? Win the bonus round and you could be moving on! If you pass, you'll have to start over. Last chance. Yes or no?"
  • "Let's give him a hand, folks! I'll take the [number] coins now."
  • "All right! Let's get right to the bonus round!"
  • "Oh no! You don't have enough coins. That's it for our show, people!"
  • "Ooh, you hate to see it. Well, that's it for our show, people. Until next time!"
  • "That's not good TV, Mario. You lose!"
  • "Congratulations! You're today's big winner!"
  • "And now it's time to collect your fabulous prize—a visit to the exclusive Spring of Rainbows!"
  • "But first, we have one more surprise in store for you..."
  • "And, since you scored 100 points, we've got a special surprise for you. ...Which may not be as surprising as it once was..."
  • "Well, nobody's perfect, but you did score at least 100 points. And we all know what that means..."
  • "It's Sudden Death!"
  • "Only the very best contestants make it to the Sudden Death round, so good for you! In even better news, the Sudden Death round is your chance to earn another fabulous prize! And in slightly worse news, if you lose, it's game over. Sound like too much? You can pass and go directly to the Spring of Rainbows."
  • "What'll it be, Mario? Want to test your luck in the Sudden Death round?"
  • "I'm not sure if you heard me, Mario, so I'll say it again. If you don't pass the Sudden Death round, it's game over for you. You sure you want to give it a try?"
  • "You'll need to play again from the beginning if you don't do it now. Last chance. Do you want to try Sudden Death now?"
  • "All of our lucky winners will receive [a fabulous prize/prize money]! And our less-fortunate contestants will be spared the indignity of continuing to play. Game over! ...And, I'm legally required to tell you that you can refuse this part and just...go back outside."
  • "But first... You've got something special going here. You reached 100 points without missing a beat! If you can finish out today's show without failing a single challenge, you can win another fabulous prize! It's...[a fabulous prize/prize money] Now don't worry—you can always try your luck in the Sudden Death round later."
  • "So, whaddaya say? Do you want to go for the glory of a perfect round?"
  • "And the crowd goes wild!"
  • "Without further ado, here comes Sudden Death! ...It's not QUITE as bad as it sounds."
  • "All right, all right. Maybe next time, OK? There is a fabulous prize, after all... And that's not all! Come back next time and we'll have a brand-new challenge waiting for you!"
  • "You'll try the Sudden Death round next time, won't you? After all, you could win [a fabulous prize/prize money]!"
  • "Do you want to hear how Sudden Death works?"
  • "All right! Here's how it works... We're going to play a tune that I know you've heard before. Ah! But we've replaced one key lyric with a ? symbol."
  • "So, you'll have to remember what word is missing. And then..."
  • "you'll guide your special assistant Olivia to the correct button!"
  • "That's right, YOU! Mario, use the arrows to create a route for Olivia to reach the button that's connected to the right lyric. Be careful! Press the wrong button and things could really GO OFF, if you know what I mean. That's a surefire game over, folks!"
  • "Here we go."
  • "We've got something new in store for you this time, Mario. We call it...the Perfect Game! If you clear all of the challenges in today's episode, we'll present you with a trophy and a new title. And as always, if you score at least 100 points, you'll get to try the Sudden Death round at the end. Will you win [a fabulous prize/prize money]? Let's find out! I'm legally required to tell you that you can also skip all of this and go straight to the Spring of Rainbows... But where's the fun in that?!"
  • "If you clear all of the challenges in today's episode, we'll present you with a trophy and a new title. And as always, if you score at least 100 points, you'll get to try the Sudden Death round at the end. Will you win [a fabulous prize/prize money]? Let's find out!"
  • "Hanging in the balance today...is a tremendous amount of coins! And you just need to clear all of the challenges correctly to get them."
  • "So, whaddaya say? Are you going to go for the glory? Or send us to another commercial break?"
  • "Awww! Well, you're welcome back anytime on...Shy Guys Finish Last!"
  • "Want a little refresher on the rules for the Perfect Game?"
  • "All right! Perfect Game, here we come!"
  • "So...to complete the Perfect Game, you'll need to clear all 12 of the following challenges. If you score at least 100 points, you'll also be able to try your luck in the Sudden Death round. But remember, you'll need to ace each and every challenge to pass the Perfect Game! Let's get started, shall we? Spin that roulette!"
  • "That's right! Let's give him a hand."
  • "Ooh, so sorry. Not what we were looking for."
  • "Wanna see how many you've gotten right? Of course you do! Iiiit's...[number]! That means you're just [number] away from a perfect score. If you get [number] more points, you'll qualify for Sudden Death!"
  • "Let's take a quick look at how you're doing. Wow! That's [number] correct so far. You just need [number] more to complete the Perfect Game!"
  • "Do you know what you just did? You just completed the Perfect Game! Congratulations!"
  • "Now, don't celebrate just yet. To be today's big winner...you must pass the Sudden Death round!"
  • "We all know the stakes. Just one question standing between you and the title of Quiz Master. And if you blow it, it's game over. No pressure."
  • "Now, we all know you're already the Quiz Master, Mario. So the stakes aren't as high as before. Unless you like coins! And who doesn't, am I right?! We're gonna drop a huge pile of coins on you if you get this right!"
  • "Oh no! You missed one. And while your mom might tell you you're perfect, judging strictly by our game show's rules, you're not."
  • "Oh no! What happened, Quiz Master?"
  • "However, not all is lost! You can still make it to the Sudden Death round if you score 100 points. Do you want to keep going?"
  • "Congratulations! You've completed the Sudden Death round!"
  • "Show him what he's won!"
  • "It's...[number] coins!"
  • "We'll have something new for you the next time you come back, so don't be a stranger, OK?"
  • "Why not try for perfect next time? Are you scared of success?"

Hammer Bro[edit]

  • "You did it, man! First paper to ever defeat scissors. They're gonna write a book about it, and then a movie that everyone will hate."

Hole Punch[edit]

  • "Hey! DJ! You call that music? I call it a racket! Stop scratchin' around, and put on somethin' I can dance to! If I ain't movin' to the groove when the needle drops, I'm gonna collect your face like a limited-edition seven-inch single!"
  • "I hate it! This song was overplayed the first time it hit the airwaves! They tried to make us love it by putting it on high rotation, but I'm not gonna fall for that. No way! Loop the best five seconds, put it in a car commercial, and throw the rest in the trash. I'm done with it!"
  • "I hate it! OK, OK, yeah... I can see why people like this song, but it's just not for me, you know?"
  • "I hate it! What am I? A tap dancer? The tempo's way too fast on this track! Drop the RPMs! Or better yet, drop the whole album in a dumpster. No, thanks!"
  • "Now that's groovy! Uhhhh! That bass line is making my body do things I never dreamed possible. I'm ready to get down! Wait, wait, wait... I'm not gonna be the only one down there gettin' loose. Why's this place so dead? Who killed the mood? I'm not gonna cut a rug unless EVERYONE is cutting a rug?[sic] Dig?!"
  • "Whoa... I dig it... Oh yeah... Oh yeah... Oh yeah... It's groovy!"
  • "Lady, I couldn't stop groovin' now if I wanted to. So I guess we're gonna have to... FACE. OFF."
  • "I am PUMPED. I'm gonna own this dance floor till the break of dawn. And, seeing as there's no sun to rise in here, that means this groove is never gonna end! HEY! C'mon!"
  • "I'll start with some moves even amateurs can appreciate. Ooh, c'mon! One, two, PUNCH!"
  • "You wanna dance? You wanna DANCE, bro?! Let me show you what you're up against! Hup! One, two! Alriiight!"
  • "Is it time for me to bust out my super-secret special dance move? Let's hear it! Make some noooise!"
  • "No way! You dodged my special move?! Get back down here so I can two-step on your face!"
  • "Oh, man... Why'd you have to harsh my groove? We had it bumpin' in here! Let's keep it going anyway. Disco forever! Count it down!"

Kamek[edit]

  • "Mario?! What are you doing here?"
  • "Groundskeeper? I'll have you know... Ah, it's not important."
  • "As Lord Bowser's number one, I have faced off against this meddling mustachioed marauder more times than I can count!"

  • "No, that's not... I'm not... Look, the work I do for Bowser..."

  • "Having heroically secreted myself during the attack, I was ready to engage our emergency protocol."
  • "But the button I pressed shut off the airship's engines instead. It wasn't my fault!"
  • "With the engines off, Bowser's Castle plunged straight into the Shangri-Spa campus."

Kanchō Kinopio[edit]

  • "Who's there?!"
  • "Yes! I'm saved!"
  • "Oh, Mario... I had to run down here and hide from those horrible Folded Soldiers."
  • "Pardon me - I should introduce myself. I'm the curator of Musée Champignon in Toad Town!"
  • "It's a museum with a splendid collection of objects, music, treasures, origami, and other wondrous items."
  • "And we have even managed to acquire the legendary Super Marino sea vessel, believe it or not!"
  • "I do hope you'll come visit soon! We're open...even with all of the origamized crime we've seen of late."
  • "Ah, Mario! Welcome! This is your first visit to Musée Champignon, yes?"
  • "Let me tell you how it all works!"
  • "We collect a variety of pieces from your travels and display them here in galleries."
  • "We are fully dedicated to displaying artifacts from your adventure alone. That's unique! That's something no other museum can boast!"
  • "Oh! And speaking of unique... We are a bit light on exhibits at the moment, but I do have one spectacular piece to share."
  • "It's the Super Marino, legendary vessel of the legendary Khap'taan Teeowed!"
  • "Last but not least, we are more than happy to display any trophies you may earn in your adventure."
  • "I will personally polish and shine each one of them in the event you wish to come view them."
  • "You won't find THAT level of service in any other museum, I assure you. Well then, I suppose that's all for now. Good luck, Mario!"
  • "New trophies..."
  • "Great news, Mario! I received one or more of your trophies!"
  • "You've done it, Mario! You've earned every possible trophy! Now that I have the complete set, I can charge double the admission..."
  • "Finally, Musée Champignon will take its rightful place among the most prestigious museums in the world!"
  • "Oh! Well...thank you?"
  • "We should really both be thanking Mario. He's the one responsible for making my dream come true."
  • "My dream of curating the most complete and expensive museum in the world..."
  • "Thanks!"
  • "Of course, my new admission fee doesn't apply to you, Mario. You're free to browse at your leisure."

King Olly[edit]

(Prologue)

  • "Oh, and by the way...I am no longer your brother Olly. I am KING OLLY! By the time I am done, all of those miserable Toads will be folded... reborn as loyal Folded Soldiers--serving me! And I shall fold, crease, and bend the entire paper world to my whim... The birth of a new origami kingdom!"
  • "So what do you say? Will you volunteer your paper body to the cause?"
  • "Ah, I expected nothing less. And to be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way." (After saying no)
  • "Oh really? You expect me to fall for such a simple trick?!" (After saying yes)
  • "Why couldn't Mario have simply left you in that wall where I put you..."

(Blue Streamer)

  • "Oh, hello."
  • "Yes. It's been a while, hasn't it?"
  • "Ahh, sister... You have such a flat outlook on life. All I am doing is creating a glorious kingdom for origami like us."
  • "How can you not grasp the brilliance and daring of my plan?"
  • "Very well."

(Origami Castle)

  • "I thought perhaps you would listen to reason. I see I was mistaken."
  • "Ever since you've teamed up with this Mario fellow, you've been nothing but a crinkle in my neck."
  • "It ends now."
  • "Consider this path closed."
  • "Alas, there will be an empty origami throne beside mine..."
  • "But no matter. The birth of my Origami Kingdom is imminent. You may as well sit back and wait for its arrival."
  • "Well, you're finally here. Took you long enough."
  • "As a matter of fact, it took you so long that there is nothing you can do to stop me now."
  • "Oh, the princess is right in front of you. Behold!"
  • "I told you, didn't I? That I would transform all of Peach's Castle into an origami castle. Including the princess herself."
  • "She is at one with the castle now. Beautiful, precious and silent. I'm sure she's happier this way."
  • "I would. And I did."
  • "Witness The Thousand Cranes technique! He who has the patience to fold 1,000 origami cranes shall have any wish granted."
  • "That is real, ultimate power, and I shall use it to turn every last one of those wretched Toads into mere blank paper."
  • "Of course I do! He's the whole reason I'm doing this!"
  • "That fool disrespected the very paper I am made of... He scribbled all over it!"
  • "Now I bear the hideous scar of his negligence and disregard for origami... And he shall pay!"
  • "If you've seen one Toad, you've seen them all! They're all the same to me!"
  • "That's why I have to turn them all into blank pieces of paper. So I never have to see a single one of their stupid faces again!"
  • "That... is my vision for a glorious origami kingdom."
  • "As for you, Mario. You've proven to be quite annoying."
  • "But there's nothing you can do now to stop me. Already, 999 of my cranes are complete..."
  • "After I defeat you... I'll honor your paper by folding you into the very last crane!"
  • "Your adventure ends here, Mario."

(Final Battle - Phase one)

  • "I WILL fulfill my dream. If you won't fold willingly... I shall bend you to my will by force!"
  • "Indeed. I've mastered the techniques of every Bibliofold. Now... witness how a KING wields these powers!"
  • "*pant, pant* You... surpassed the power of my superior, folded paper..."
  • "SHUT IT! I don't need your pity!"
  • "I folded you so we could turn this flat world into an origami kingdom..."
  • "But you betrayed me... and allied yourself with these paper peasants!"
  • "Don't you see, Olivia? We're both origami! Why are you fighting me?!"

(Final Battle - Phase two)

  • "Look around you, Olivia, I'm folding the very fabric of reality."
  • "Origami embodies the limitless power of transformation"
  • "With this power... I shall rid the world of all pathetic, paper-thin beings!"
  • "Do you ever stop MEDDLING? These should keep you busy!"
  • "I will NOT be beaten by this bouncing blowhard! To me, my Folded Soldier!"
  • "No! I refuse to be defeated!"
  • "What?!"
  • "You think you've won...but this battle is not over yet!"
  • "This is the end for you!"
  • "How do you like THIS?!"
  • "I have you now!"
  • "THIS IS THE END FOR YOU!"
  • "CURSE YOOOOOU!"

(Final Battle - Phase three)

  • "I...will not...allow this! I will CRUSH you! All of you!"
  • "Another Magic Circle?! Pfah! Pathetic!"
  • "What do you hope to do? Slap my wrist with those feeble arms of yours?"
  • "My anger! My rage! It's turned into a deadly poison, rising up from below!"
  • "You'd better act fast. If that gass reaches this platform, it will be the end of you!"
  • "HA HA HA HAAAAA!"
  • "No escape!"
  • "You dodged?!"
  • "Now! Take this!"
  • "Such insolence!"
  • "You think I'll allow this?! I'll make this Magic Circle as useless as scrap paper!"
  • "Now surrender!"
  • "No, no, NO! I'll scramble this sigil over and over until you admit defeat!"
  • "Y-youuu!"

(Origami Castle - Final)

  • "No, Olivia..."
  • "That hammer attack was divine. You put everything into it...and it was enough to awaken me from this dark dream."
  • "I was too proud, too entitled... My heart was blintzed, my path was creased... I was a mess."
  • "Oh... *cough*! It hurtss to move, but... That is the cause of all of this madness. The careless scrawl that Toad marked me with..."
  • "Read it for me, will you? I must know what is written there... What words or gibberish mark this foolish body? Please...I could use one last laugh."
  • "Ha. HA."
  • "AHAHAH!"
  • "Oh, I've been a terrible king. To think, this is how I repaid his kindness."
  • "I just became so blinded by rage. I did so many unforgivable things..."
  • "I'm so sorry that Princess Peach and Mario became caught up in all this."
  • "Olivia... there's something you must do for me."
  • "Please accept these 999 cranes. And then fold my body into the 1,000th."
  • "When the last fold is complete, you will gain the ability to have any wish granted."
  • "I don't suppose it'll make up for everything I've done, but it's all I have left."
  • "I'm begging you, Olivia. Do this for me."

Koopa Troopa[edit]

  • "We'd go try to stop him, but, y'know... We're Koopa Troopas. What are we gonna do? Walk into him slowly?"

Love Toad[edit]

  • "Ah. We meet at last. The fates have crossed our paths for a reason. I may not know your heart's desire... but I DO know where you can satisfy your desire for more MAX UP Hearts!"
  • "I shall await you in Toad Town......by a lovesick, red brick building."
  • "Tis I, the Love Toad, at your service, m'lud. I am able to feel all of the love lost in this world. Now then!"
  • "Zounds! What horror! What malevolence! 'Tis not the time or place whence love might bloom!"
  • "At this precise moment, the number of hearts that elude you is [number]. Dare you tempt the fickle fates and seek love lost?"
  • "Under the grass one heart doth lie... Near Autumn Mountain majesty..."
  • "The Water Shrine's rotating floor... conceals a window and "amor.""
  • "A Shogun creature, small and cute... Bequeaths a hidden heart as loot."
  • "A Shogun myst'ry must be solved... The House of Riddles is involved..."
  • "In Princess Peach's pleasure boat... A heart awaits on decks remote."
  • "Surf's up, one said, atop a board... That did conceal a lovely hoard."
  • "A circle of rocks. Scorching Sandpaper Desert. Dig in the center."
  • "In temple ruins lies a crypt... A heart outside and in is kept!"
  • "I love to love an isle of love... And so do precious hearts, kind of..."
  • "A compass on the Great Sea chart... Will lead you to another heart."
  • "From fallen icy spires you leap... The heart you find is one to keep."
  • "When visiting a famous spa, You want a souvenir...don'tcha?"
  • "En route to find a rainbow spring, Go up on steam that's billowing..."
  • "Thy shriveled heart shall beat again, Head to the spring and toss it in!"
  • "If tuna were a broken heart, Inside a can would be a start..."
  • "Tempt the fickle fates again?"
  • "Farewell, for now, I bid adieu. Unless, again, you wish you knew... How many hearts elude your grasp... And then, return, and you will gasp!"
  • "Farewell, for now, I bid adieu. Perhaps one day we'll meet anew. And on that day you might just find another hint to blow your mind!"
  • "At this precise moment...there is no love lost. Ah, but let not your guard slip. We are but in the eye of the love tempest..."
  • "Huzzah! A happy ending! You have found all of the love that was once lost. Alas, the fates betwist the knife. For me, you see, this was my life. And now without a heart to seek, We shall forevermore not speak."

Luigi[edit]

(Prologue)

  • "Isn't this great, Bro? Back on the road again together and heading to some kind of festival!"
  • "What did the invitation say again? An Origami Festival? What's that gonna be like?"
  • "And I can't wait to say hello to Princess Peach! It's-a been a while."
  • "Here we are, Toad Town! And there's Peach's Castle."
  • "...Where is everybody? You don't think we missed it, do you?"
  • "Mario! Check the invitation again! When were we supposed to be here?"
  • "Well, it's the right day! You think they're still getting things ready?"
  • "Let's-a go check the castle. Maybe everyone's inside."
  • "Here we are. Peach's Castle!"
  • "I'm gonna park the kart, OK? I don't wanna tip the valet."
  • "Sorry for the wait, Bro. Let's-a go see the princess!"
  • "It's kinda spooky in here, isn't it? And where is everybody? I'd expect to see at least one Toad by now..."
  • "Mamma mia! I forgot our gift in the kart! I'll just dash over and get it."
  • "OK, I don't like that."
  • "How'm I gonna get outside when the door is locked?!"
  • "Don't worry, Mario. I know just what to do in situations like this."
  • "You just gotta find Mario! Right, Mario?"
  • "....Oh."
  • "OK...I'm just gonna take a deep breath and go find the key to this door. That's what you'd do, right?"
  • "Tell Princess Peach I'll be right there if you see her first, OK? Bye-Bye!"

(Red streamer)

  • "...Help me!"
  • "...I'm all folded up somewhere! Maybe in between dimensions? Someone hellllp!"
  • "...Um..."
  • "...I'm so close, Bro..."
  • "Am I saved? I feel weird!"
  • "Whew! That's-a more like it."
  • "Let's see... a Shy Guy put me there! But not a regular Shy Guy. It was... thick... and edgy..."
  • "Before I knew it, it had folded me up and tucked me away in there. Said it'd come back for me later!"
  • "My hat?! But what happened to the whole castle?"
  • "And where's Princess Peach?"
  • "Oh! That's right! I was gonna go look for the key to Peach's Castle. We got locked in, remember?"
  • "Mario's always saving me... so I just wanted to do something nice for him for a change."
  • "I'm really happy to see my hat again... but I've still gotta find that key. Let's-a go!"
  • "I do need the hat."

(Blue streamer)

  • "Waaah! C-can't... move!"
  • "Somebody! Anybody! Preferably Mario, if possible! Save me!"
  • "Save me!"
  • "Can't move!"
  • "Huh?"
  • "I'm-a moving?"
  • "I'm-a saved!"
  • "Hooray!"
  • "Uh..."
  • "I'm-a NOT saved! Help!"
  • "You saved me! Thanks, Big Bro!"
  • "Good timing too. I have a surprise!"
  • "It's-a the key to Peach's Castle! I finally found it!"
  • "You wouldn't believe the day I've had in this wacky theme park."
  • "I was heading back to find you... when a terrifying Chain Chomp tried to bite my face off!"
  • "I ran into this-a house to hide, but couldn't find the exit. Then, BAM! Niinjas started flying at my face!"
  • "Eventually I tumbled down here... Next thing I know, I'm-a gummingup the works. With-a my face."
  • "Yep. It's-a been a rough day for me and my face... but it was all worth it to finally hand over that key!"
  • "What?! I risked my face to find the wrong key? Now I'm-a losing face... and it's the only one I've got!"
  • "It was hanging on the wall in such an important spot... I thought for sure I had the right one."
  • "OK! I won't let this get me down! I'm-a gonna find the REAL key to Peach's Castle!"
  • "See you later, Big Bro! You too, Olivia!"

(Yellow streamer)

  • "Mario! You saved me!"
  • "...Does that mean you actually won the game? How'd you do it?!"
  • "Nah, don't answer. I wanna try and beat it myself. Anyway, guess what. I got the key to Peach's Castle. Really!"
  • "Can you believe it? That hotel had it just sitting at the front desk! The key to Peach's Castle!"
  • "They also had a really nice pool, and I could use a vacation..."
  • "Wait, what?! They said it was a "sweet key," and Peach is the sweetest person I know, so..."
  • "Don't worry! I'm not-a giving up!"
  • "I'll find that key! And I'm gonna come back here and win this carnival game too! Bye bye!"

(Purple streamer)

  • "Hey, Bro! Got the key! Come find me on the mushroom-shaped island! Luigi" (A note from Luigi, can be found in: "Crescent Moon Island")
  • "*smack, smack* Hm?"
  • "Ah, is that you, Bro? I wondered when you would finally get here."
  • "I've been super busy. It's-a really hard to swin in overalls, y'know?"
  • "But now? I'm-a relaxing to the max. I've earned a break... cause I finally found the key to Peach's Castle!"
  • "Whaaat? Wrong again?!"
  • "Ahhh, I DID think it was kinda weird. That key isn't Peach's style at all..."
  • "Oh, this place isn't mine. I just stopped here for a nap. Swimming across the sea tuckered me out!"
  • "Now that you mention it... I didn't see anyone here when I arrived."
  • "I should probably find whoever lives here and thank them for letting me catch a quick nap on their island"
  • "Wowie! There's origami everywhere!"
  • "Whoever lives here must REALLY love origami."
  • "HOME?!" (Luigi and Mario surprised)
  • "Wait a minute. Your brother folded you to life... but he's also origami..."
  • "So... who folded HIM?"
  • "Is THAT who lives on this island? We should probably rescue them! Right, Bro?"
  • "Check this out, Bro! There's a weird book over here. It's too high to reach! I don't think a regular jump is gonna do the trick."
  • "...I just got a great idea! Hit me!"
  • "G-great! Hrk!"
  • "Ooh, a little more! (While Mario finds the Origami Craftsman)
  • "Excuse-a me, your Origami-ness, but...why did you fold Olly in the first place?"
  • "Oh, right! THAT's why we need the key to Peach's Castle!"
  • "What am I doing?! I have to find that key so we can face Olly!"
  • "Bye-bye, everybody! See ya, Bro!"

(Origami Castle)

  • "Marioooo!"
  • "Big news, Bro! You know the key I've been looking for?"
  • "I couldn't find it."
  • "I've been looking everywhere, but I just can't find it. I'm-a sorry for letting you down, Bro."
  • "It's got to be somewhere...doesn't it?"
  • "Mamma mia! It's been there the whole time? So all this searching I've been doing was for nothing..."
  • "Really? Well, it's no big deal. I guess I just got lucky..."
  • "Not this again..."
  • "Princess! I'm-a coming!"
  • "Hey, guys! I hope I didn't miss too much. I found the Origami Craftsman!"

Master Toad[edit]

  • "Oh, thank you! I've been trapped up here for ages! It's no way to treat a VIP guest like me. Well...at least I have my luxurious mansion in Toad Town awaiting me. Toodles! Oh, do stop by sometime. I'll reward you handsomely."
  • "Ah, Mario! Thanks again for helping with that nasty business back in Shroom City. I owe you one! Please feel free to pick these up at your leisure."
  • "As an additional sign of gratitude, I have unlocked all of the doors in my fabulous manse."
  • "By all means, explore the grounds of my ENORMOUS house as you like."

Monty Mole auctioneer[edit]

  • "Step right up! Calling all savings seekers, coupon clippers, and thrifty types alike!"
  • "You, sir, with the mustache! Fancy a fair deal?"
  • "Can't spare any time for the deal of the century, eh?"
  • "Well, come on back when you're ready to save some serious coins."
  • "I'll get right down to it. What I'm offering today is a once-in-a-lifetime deal. A real bargain in the rough."
  • "Feast your greedy eyes on the Miracle Orb. It dices, it slices, it purees...and it's one of a kind."
  • "Now just calm down, folks..."
  • "And then get excited all over again! Because if you don't buy it now, you'll never get another chance."
  • "Let's start the bidding at 10,000 coins. Just 10,000 coins for this unique, absolutely necessary item!"
  • "No takers, huh? I see, I see..."
  • "But we can't let this serendipitous situation go to waste!"
  • "I've got an item, and you've got coins, so let's see if we can't make the magic happen, eh?"
  • "Now then! This hurts me deeply, but I'm going to offer you the discount of a lifetime."
  • "For an extremely limited time, you can purchase this item for the low, low price of 5,000 coins. We got a deal?"
  • "I see, I see... Now this IS a slippery situation we've got developing here."
  • "I'm lookin' to sell, you're lookin' to buy... Surely we can meet in the middle, just like your mustache."
  • "I'm just gonna put this out there: 3,000 coins. That's it. That's the offer. Take it or leave it!"
  • "Hoo boy. I didn't want to do it, but you're forcin' my hand."
  • "At this price it's as good as highway robbery. All we need is the highway and 2,000 coins. How about it?"
  • "You're kiddin' me. You still won't buy it?"
  • "I'm losin' it! You want the shirt off my back too? Take this thing away from me for 1,000 coins, will ya?"
  • "I don't even wanna sell it now. At this price, maybe I'll keep it!"
  • "Ahh, but you got me on the day my rent's due. My loss is your gain - 500 coins! Take it or leave it!"
  • "Oh boy. I was hopin' it wouldn't come to this. The bank's gonna send me a letter..."
  • "I just gotta get 300 coins outta this thing at a minimum. Please, I'm beggin' ya!"
  • "Yes! Sold for 300 coins. Take it and get outta my sight, you rascal!"
  • "Sold! To these three crafty Koopas who just put this old mole in the poor house. Hoo boy..."
  • "Still can't believe I got (amount paid) coins for a rock I found on the side of the road..."

Oarsman[edit]

  • "Eee, eee, eee! (Yum! Tuna always hits the spot.)"
  • "Oh! Mario! Thanks a bunch! I'm REAL sorry 'bout all that monkey business. Rest assured, I'm no monkey! I jes' got folded up like one!"
  • "I'm the single-oar sculler fer the Autumn Mountain downriver tour! I was folded fer way too long... Went a bit bananas."
  • "Sure does! Did you guys need a ride down the river? I'd be happy to paddle fer ya, free of charge! I'll be waiting at the dock. Come see me when you're ready!"
  • "Howdy, folks! I'm all set. Ready fer that tour down the river?"
  • "Need a ride down the river?"
  • "Oh! That's fine, then. I'll be here whenever you're ready."
  • "OK! Hop aboard and we'll head out!"
  • "Ya think YOUR day was stressful? I was a monkey!"
  • "Yep! We're almost at the rapids. You folks ready fer a white-knuckle ride down ol' Eddy River?"
  • "Oh, don't pretend ya ain't excited! We can't turn back anyhow, so relax and enjoy the ride. Hm. The river IS flowin' a bit fast... It's as if somebody flooded this river to the brim, then kept on floodin'!"
  • "Mario, I'm gonna need yer help through this next bit. Tell me which way to steer the boat with ↕. Try not to hit any walls or rocks. If my boat gets too banged up, we might be in trouble. Oh, and ya won't be able to open yer menu for a stretch. Best to focus on the rapids, y'know? OK! Grab hold of somethin', folks! Here come the Eddy River rapids!"
  • "If ya nab all the coins along the way, you'll get somethin' neat... so good luck! All right, here we go!"
  • "Okeydoke! We're in the clear. How'd you folks like the Eddy River rapids? Did ya have fun?"
  • "Guessin' ya felt a little coin-shy back there, eh? There's a cool prize if ya nab all of 'em, so try again!"
  • "Looks like ya missed a few coins along the way. There's a cool prize if ya nab all of 'em, so try again!"
  • "Well shucks, fella! Ya nabbed all the coins! You're a real downriver expert, Mario! I'll have this trophy sent to the museum fer ya. Congrats!"
  • "Well shucks, fella! Ya nabbed all the coins again! Ever considered a career in scullin'?"
  • "Welcome to Shogun Studios!"
  • "It's a SUPER popular location, full of SPECTACULAR shows and AMAZIN' attractions."
  • "If ya look up ahead, you'll see Shogun Studio's famous castle!"
  • "We could continue the river tour, if ya'd like. Sweetpaper Valley is jes' up ahead. What'll it be?"
  • "OK, then! You folks go have fun. I'll be waitin' here when you're done!"
  • "What in the- Where'd this thing come from? We can't pass through the gate with this in the way!"
  • "Yep. We'll have to turn around and head back fer now."
  • "Howdy, folks. We can't go any further with that blue thing blockin' our path. Whatcha wanna do?"
  • "*sniff* This is such a touchin' scene! Y'all are tuggin' on my heartstrings like a Cheep Cheep on a line."
  • "Looks like we can pass through that river gate now! Hop aboard, folks! Next stop on this river tour is Sweetpaper Valley!"
  • "Here we are—Sweetpaper Valley. This is the last downriver stop. Thanks fer riding with us today, and enjoy yer stay!"
  • "Ahoy! ...Was there an earthquake? Thought I heard something big. Anyhow, if you're lookin' to get to Toad Town, the warp pipe in Shogun Studios is way faster than paddling."
  • "Looking to get back to Toad Town? Try the warp pipe in Shogun Studios. Anyhoo, what'll it be?"
  • "Ahoy! What'll it be?"
  • "Hup!"
  • "Welcome to Shogun Studios, folks!"
  • "Welcome to Shogun Studios, folks! Phew. Paddlin' upriver really takes it out of ya."
  • "OK, arms! Giddyap! Hyaa!"
  • "Howdy! Ready to ride downriver?"
  • "We're here! Autumn Mountain! Phew. Paddlin' upriver really takes it out of ya."

Ol' Grandsappy[edit]

  • "I've hardly got the hardwoods to speak, let alone learn you some manners... *hack*"
  • "If you can find a way to restore my energy, I may just let you two leave this place."
  • "Ach! Ptooey! Nope. That ain't it." (After giving Ol' Grandsappy the Shriveled Seed)
  • "It's doin' something! Watch out now!" (After giving Ol' Grandsappy the Soul Seed)
  • "That little seed was all it took. Tightened up my timbers and put the funk back in my trunk. I'm young again!"

Olivia[edit]

(Red streamer)

  • "Mario...is that you?"
  • "I need your help! I'm...I'm... I'm in a very strange place."
  • "It's cramped and dark...almost like I'm in between dimensions or something."
  • "I'm not sure if I should be amazed or scared, but I'm kinda both?"
  • "If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to get out now, please. Is there any way you can help?"
  • "What was that? Did something light up at your feet? Is it a Magic Circle?"
  • "That's good...I think. I mean, I'm not really sure what you're supposed to do with it..."
  • "Can you try to use it somehow?"
  • "That...that sounded good! Are your arms all big and foldy now?" (After using the first Magic Circle)
  • "I've heard about this! I think those are called 1,000-Fold Arms."
  • "Try feeling around a bit... maybe you can help me escape from this strange dimension."
  • "If it feels like the arms are off-center and out of control, maybe try pressing R Button to reset them."
  • "Wow! I'm free from that weird in-between dimension!" (After freeing Olivia)
  • "...Oh, was I just stuck in that wall?"
  • "You must be Mario!"
  • "My name's Olivia! You'd probably like to know a lot more about me and why I was trapped like that, huh?"
  • "But... I don't think we really have time for that now. Maybe we should just get out of here."
  • "There's just one thing...I'm not exactly fleet of foot. Mind if I hitch a ride?"
  • "Whoa, what'd you find? It looks big and smashy. Maybe try pressing B Button and see what happens!"
  • "You know, I feel like I just had a pretty good idea..."
  • "I don't know if they'll always be good ideas, but I'm always happy to share 'em with you!"
  • "Why don't you try pressing X Button if you're stuck, and I'll see if I can think of something useful?"
  • "Who knows? Maybe we'll get to know each other and make a great team! Is that how these things go?"
  • "Ooh! Thank you for calling on me with X Button. It's my first hint! Now for an actual hint. Umm..."
  • "That hole in the wall looks like it might be a way to sneak out!"
  • "Save complete, huh? Guess that means your adventure up to this point has been saved! Phew!" (After hitting the first Save Block)
  • "Everything here is made of paper, of course, so every little bit of confetti is like a tiny piece of our world."
  • "I'm going to stop you, Brother. As your sister, it's my duty..."
  • "It's eating it?!"

(Blue streamer)

  • "What?! Hang on. Are you telling me this place is..."
  • "A THEME PARK?! That sounds like so much fun! Can we go? Please?
  • "Well, Mario...it looks like we HAVE to check out Shogun Studios. It would be irresponsible not to."
  • "So Shogun Studios it is! Right? We're gonna stop here, right? Please?"
  • "WHAT?! We're not going to Shogun Studios? But...but..." (if the player chooses to go downriver)
  • "Shogun Studios..."
  • "We do? My goodness! I guess you're right, Bobby! What a great idea. So glad you thought of it."
  • "Yesss! Oh, we're going to have SO much fun in Shogun Studios!"
  • "WOOOOOW! The Great Sea is SOOO big! This breeze feels SOOO good! *sniff* Why does it smell SOOO salty? It's so endlessly big... The only word you could use to describe it is EPIC! Well, that and "great," I guess."

Olivia (Hints)[edit]

Prologue[edit]

  • "Ooh! Thank you for calling on me with X Button. It's my first hint! Now for an actual hint. Umm..."
  • "Lookee there! It's a Magic Circle!"
  • "Where do you think the secret exit leads? Oh...I bet that's a secret too."
  • "That hole in the wall looks like it might be a way to sneak out!"
  • "I'm feeling like a good hurry is in order. Is there a way out of here nearby?"
  • "That voice was really scary! Where did it come from?"
  • "I feel like something's going down in that room with the spooky voice. Should we check it out?"
  • "Bowser has a secret? Ooh, what could it be?"
  • "He said there's a secret exit. Do you think that means it's hidden by something?"
  • "Could the secret exit be in that room where they were keeping Bowser?"

Red Streamer[edit]

Whispering Woods

  • "It's so quiet here. TOO quiet, maybe? Maybe. Let's find a way out of here."
  • "It sounds like we need something called the Soul Seed to help him get his energy back. Should we ask where to find it?"
  • "Have we seen that big, golden fruit before? There's got to be a way to get it, right?"
  • "Aww, it's too bad the vine broke. But maybe the golden fruit will fall if you shake the tree a bit."
  • "Did something come out of that golden fruit?"
  • "Did we just get the Soul Seed? Wow! That's the thing that will give the tree grandpa his energy back, right?"
  • "A shriveled seed won't help. I feel like there's something that can fix shriveled things...but where?"
  • "The spring! Didn't we see some old wrinkly stuff fall in there before?"
  • "Maybe we should try going as far as we can? See what happens?"
  • "What do you think will happen if we throw in something that's shriveled?"
  • "Ooh, the seed is sooo smooth now! And it's overflowing with power!"
  • "Did something happen to Ol'Grandsappy? What should we do, Mario?"
  • "Do you think we can fix the hollow spot in Ol' Grandsappy with the Soul Seed?"
  • "What could happen if we give Ol' Grandsappy that smooth seed? The one that seems full of energy?"
  • "We'd better hurry to where Peach's Castle used to be!"
  • "If you hit flowers, grass, and trees with B Button..."
  • "Mariooo! Over here!"
  • "Waaah, I say! Please come and help me!"
  • "This place seems really familiar... Maybe things will change if we just keep going."
  • "How about we head over to where Peach's Castle used to be?"
  • "Doesn't that big stump look like the perfect place to take a quick little rest?"
  • "Part of that fence looks like it's already falling over. Could it fall the rest of the way?"
  • "Is there something we can do to the shrub to help that poor Toad?"
  • "He's still not looking great. Could we flatten him out somehow?"
  • "That bench looks super cozy. It's almost like it's waiting for us!"
  • "There are SO MANY trees here! And this mountain air is super tasty. It makes my paper heart soar!"
  • "Try throwing confetti on the big hole with ZL Button! Yah ZL Button! Whee ZL Button!"
  • "It might be time for you to head back over to that big hole!"
  • "A Magic Circle in a place like this? Huh! What will happen if you use it?"
  • "Do you want to see what happens if you pull on the dangly green things hanging from the trees?"
  • "That sound! Did you hear it? It's like something crashed into something. Or something!"
  • "These mountains are big. Really, really big. Maybe we should just keep going farther."

Graffiti Underground

  • "It's too dark to see anything! Can't you flip the lights on? Somehow?"
  • "That red valve looks important. If only we could make our arms all long and stretchy, eh?"
  • "Are the critters by that red valve doing some kind of...dance? Whatever it is, it looks like fun!"
  • "Use the Magic Circle! Go on, now!"
  • "So this is what it looks like beneath the town. It's actually cute! But I wonder where it connects up with Peach's Castle..."
  • "It's wide open here. Could this be the end of the sewer?"
  • "We found a pipe! Now if we could just get all of that water out of there somehow..."
  • "I'm really curious about that red valve and the Magic Circle..."
  • "Where do you think all of that water came from?"
  • "The water's gone! Huzzah! Maybe now we can get to that pipe."
  • "I don't get this graffiti...but I like it. Do you think there will be more of it if we come back later?"

Earth Vellumental Temple

  • "Hello! Earth Vellumental?! Holler gently if you can hear us!"
  • "Aww, I'm glad to see that the Koopa Troopas can all come pay tribute here again."
  • "Looking closely at the rocks jutting out, it looks like you can move ahead if you get the timing right..."
  • "Do you think my prayer reached the Earth Vellumental? Would it be a bad idea to try...knocking?"
  • "Reveal yourself, Earth Vellumental! Um, pretty please? Or does your silence mean you're further in?"
  • "Did you see the side of that one shifty rock? There was definitely something weird about it!"
  • "Fire is super dangerous! Is there a safe spot we can use to get by?"
  • "That's the biggest shell I've ever seen! Maybe it can protect us somehow..."
  • "I feel like we must be getting close to the Earth Vellumental. I'm so excited! But I'm nervous too. Are you ready?"
  • "The Earth Vellumental turned into a book?! Let's take a closer look at it."
  • "We'll need to get out of this temple before heading up to Overlook Tower."

Overlook Tower

  • "We're going to need plenty of confetti to fill that hole."
  • "Should we take the elevator? You did climb a whole mountain to get here—you deserve a break!"
  • "Ooh, I'd love to go in that cute café and chat with the ladies! If there were any ladies to chat with..."
  • "More of those flying things! Watch out, Mario!"
  • "Do you think you could trick one of those flying missiles into breaking through for you?"
  • "You know what they say. In times of climbing, nothing beats a ladder. OK, I just made that up."
  • "They're raining down on us! Wait...if an umbrella could stop rain, could it stop these missiles?"
  • "I think we should get to the top as quickly as we can! Who knows when more of those things will attack..."
  • "Maybe you can knock it off from below somehow..."
  • "That Magic Circle is perfectly placed. Try using it to reach that streamer!"
  • "Let's head for the blue streamer. I wonder if the tram is working now that the red streamer is gone..."
  • "If pulling doesn't work, should we try pushing?"
  • "I hate to even suggest this, but something inside the REFRIGERATOR was making noise. *shudder*"
  • "Oh my gosh, those things are still crawling around here, I just know it! Please get rid of them!"
  • "Is it weird that I feel bad for the tower? I hope they can fix all of the holes and get it opened again soon."
  • "Oh, all of the holes in the tower are fixed! Yay!"
  • "Eeeee! You've got one of those things ON you, Mario! Get them off!"
  • "I suppose we should head for the very top of this tower, don't you think? Ooh, I'm a little nervous..."
  • "Those things could be anywhere in here! Maybe try hitting things and see if there's a way we can climb up high to reach them all."
  • "Can they really climb walls? It's a nightmare come true! Please get them all, Mario!"
  • "Have you really looked everywhere? Even behind everything? We've got to root them all out!"
  • "I don't hear any scuttling in this room. Let's go look somewhere else while I cover my eyes..."
  • "Ewww, I can still hear them scrambling everywhere! Check ALL the dark places and tight corners..."
  • "Oh, did you finally get all of them? I'm sure that chef will be relieved, although not as relieved as I am!"
  • "Yes! We can use that confetti to rebuild the stairs and get to the next level."
  • "Eww! You've got to do something about all of those creepy crawly things in the restaurant!"
  • "Now arriving at...nowhere, unless we get rid of those sticks. Perhaps we should...hit them?"
  • "I can't believe how many of those things were scurrying everywhere. By the way, where ARE the stairs to the next level?"
  • "I think we should stick with the stairs for a while."
  • "Ooh, this is like one of those shows about bad restaurants! Let's open everything and investigate more!"

Toad Town

  • "We still haven't reached the castle, but we've gotta be getting close."
  • "That OK-looking Shy Guy said the thing we need is in the red brick building near the port."
  • "The manhole hook is in the storehouse somewhere...but where?"
  • "Those shelves are waaay too high. If only we could shake them up to see if anything's up there..."
  • "Hello, hello, Mr. Magic Circle! We meet again."
  • "You got the manhole hook! Now we can go and...hook that manhole!"
  • "The entrance to the sewer is open! Maybe we can finally get to the castle."
  • "Such a majestic castle is now just a pile of rubble... I sure hope your brother is OK, Mario."
  • "Maybe we can find some sign of your brother in the castle ruins."
  • "If you're looking for memories of Luigi, I'll be right with you the whole time..."
  • "Could you use your hammer to hit the sticker on that monster's back?"
  • "Look! A Magic Circle!"
  • "We'd better check all over in case there's a clue about Peach's Castle."
  • "Say, wasn't there a door over by the wreckage? I feel like...there was."
  • "Maybe there's a clue about Peach's Castle up ahead."
  • "I wonder what's at the end of the red streamer..."
  • "Where's that voice coming from?! Try hitting things until you find out. That's the best idea I've got."
  • "That Folded Soldier was hiding a Magic Circle!"
  • "I think that Toad over by the bridge needs help. Are we going to leave him behind?"
  • "The blue streamer is up next. It looks like it goes to that red mountain."
  • "We've got to go back to the peak of the volcano to reach the castle and stop my brother. Head to the musée pipe room if you're ready."
  • "I think it's working! Keep hitting it, Mario!"
  • "I think we need the sea chart to get to the purple streamer. Do you think Captain T. Ode might be at the musée?"
  • "Maybe the docks will lead us to this Great Sea place. With "Great" in the name, it's got a lot to live up to!"
  • "Where are we?! This place is totally deserted. There's, like, nooooobody here at all!"
  • "That awful thing is chewing on someone! How rude!"
  • "I want to make this the coolest musée ever, so let's collect a bunch of stuff, OK?"
  • "I hear a voice. Is it coming from the yard?"
  • "Oh my gosh. The musée's collection is complete. The entire thing! That's all thanks to you, Mario!"
  • "You need a hint? Or just someone to do some motivational yelling? Time to train, Mario! Work those hammers and boots!"
  • "The red streamer looks like it's connected to the top of Overlook Mountain."
  • "It looks like the blue streamer leads to the top of Autumn Mountain..."
  • "That big door we saw further in must be the gate to Peach's Castle."
  • "Let's head to Shogun Studios and look for the blue streamer."
  • "The purple streamer is in the Sea Tower."
  • "Someone came out of that wall! Quick, straighten him out!"
  • "I think we need to head to Sweetpaper Valley to find the yellow streamer, right?"
  • "The purple streamer is in the Great Sea. Let's take the boat from the dock!"
  • "Is there just one streamer left? Hooray! I think it's the green one stretching up to the sky."
  • "Let's get on the airship with Bowser and head to Peach's Castle!"
  • "I'm sure there's something else we should be doing in the Scorching Sandpaper Desert...but what?"
  • "The yellow streamer definitely ends in the desert somewhere. Let's go look for it!"
  • "The green streamer is going right into Bowser's Castle in Shangri-Spa."
  • "I hear a voice from the yard, but if the door won't open, we should try opening something somewhere else."
  • "How do we get to Peach's Castle... Do you want to try going in different places for now?"
  • "So there's a sewer that connects to Peach's Castle..."
  • "So a less handsome Red Shy Guy has something to do with the manhole hook... Wait, which one is less handsome?!"
  • "Wait, what was the color and handsomeness level of the guy being eaten by that monster?"

Picnic Road

  • "The streamer connects way up at the top of the mountain. Keep climbing, Mario!"
  • "I think we should go inside and take the tour! I mean...look for the Earth Vellumental, of course."
  • "I wonder if we could use the power of the Earth Vellumental on that tower somehow..."
  • "Did you see all those small holes around here? So different than the big holes!"
  • "Those Koopa Troopas are going to have their precious rock stolen. Can't we do something?"
  • "We've got to keep heading up to the streamer, past the flowers, no matter how pretty they are."
  • "Ooh! I've always wanted to be a part of a situation. Let see what's going on over there."
  • "Wasn't there some kind of situation happening with the Koopas near the stairs? We should check that out!"
  • "Where are the Shell Stones? They don't seem to be here. Should we head for Overlook Mountain?"
  • "I'm worried about the Shell Stones, but I'm also worried about the streamer. It keeps going up past the hill."
  • "We're supposed to take all of the Shell Stones somewhere, right? Maybe the entrance to the temple?"

Overlook Mountain

  • "Head for the red streamer! Oh, and enjoy all that intense mountain climbing."
  • "A mean fish took something precious from the Koopa Troopa. Let's try to fish it up!"
  • "Don't those big, papier-mâché things look like they're having a ball?"
  • "Hmm... Where should we take the Shell Stones? Beneath the stairs on Picnic Road, maybe?"
  • "Let's ask the Earth Vellumental to do something about that big pile of dirt. Its temple was on Picnic Road, wasn't it?"
  • "With the Earth Vellumental's power, we could lower the rocky stuff at the base of Overlook Tower in a jiffy!"
  • "Let's follow the red streamer to the top of Overlook Tower!"
  • "I think we should take the tram and look for the blue streamer. Mostly I want to ride the tram!"
  • "The more we fish, the bigger fish we might catch."
  • "Was there a part of the wall near the mountain that looked different? You know, with the swaying grass..."
  • "Did we go all the way around the flower field? We didn't overlook anything...right?"
  • "Don't flowing rivers sound nice? Ooh, and look nice too? Maybe we should go check it out."
  • "It looks like the path keeps going even beyond the tower."
  • "Oh! Those paper giants are playing with a Shell Stone! Can we stop them from kicking it around?!"
  • "If the stone goes to one of those monsters when it's down, maybe you could steal it away!"
  • "Those huge, heavy things have such scary faces! I'd be less scared if we could grab one of those shiny star thingies around here..."
  • "Those Koopa Troopas we saw during our climb were really passionate about something."
  • "Do you think those Koopa Troopas will let us have that Shell Stone?"
  • "Lookit! Another Magic Circle!"

Blue Streamer[edit]

Chestnut Valley

  • "Where did Bobby go? I guess we should just follow the path for now..."
  • "Remember when we had to chase Bobby all over this valley? Ahhh, such frustrating nostalgia..."
  • "Hmph. Bobby's just dozing off on that scenic tree stump without a care in the world."
  • "Bobby is hanging from that tree like a sad, wriggly apple. *sigh* Give it a whack to knock him down, Mario."
  • "This place is dangerous! Poor Bobby. I'm starting to get worried..."
  • "I hear Bobby's voice! HANG IN THERE, BOBBY! WE'RE COMING!"
  • "Phew. Found him. Now, onward to Water Vellumental Shrine!"
  • "Did that chestnut shell just...move? It isn't super fast, so maybe we can outmaneuver it!"
  • "Gosh, it would be super convenient if there was a pipe or something near here, like right below us, that could take us straight to Bobby. Gosh."
  • "Bobby rolled away AGAIN! Why does he have to be so...so...ROLY-POLY?!"
  • "He's not over here, he's not over there... Don't tell me he managed to rush AHEAD of us again?!"
  • "Try using your hammer to give Bobby a gentle wake-up call, Mario."

Water Vellumental Shrine

  • "Where's the real Water Vellumental? I hope we get to meet it soon!"
  • "This sliding-tile puzzle seems tough. I want to help! Call me with X Button if you get stuck, OK?"
  • "I have to know where all this water is heading. Let's follow the flow!"
  • "Wouldn't it be great if we could explore the right side of this shrine now that there's flowing water?"
  • "I bet it'd be fun to shoot water at both of those round, wheely things on either side of that little Water Vellumental statue!"
  • "Here's some great advice I learned by watching you. When in doubt, bop everything with your hammer!"
  • "Looks like there's more to explore down there...and who am I to stop Mario from jumping into things?"
  • "Another tile? Ah! This must belong to that second console! I'm getting pretty good at this hint stuff, eh?"
  • "We did it! Now there's even MORE water. The Water Vellumental statue by the entrance must be so happy!"
  • "What's that square console-looking thing for, I wonder?"
  • "Shall we wander into the Water Vellumental's huge, fanged mouth?"
  • "I can't wait to try the Water Vellumental's power. Let's hurry back to the lake!"
  • "Oh, look! A console thing! It kinda reminds me of that other, different console that looked juuust like this."
  • "This place is pretty big, even for a shrine! It goes on and on...and on..."
  • "Aw, shoot! The POW Block is gone. What if we leave the room, then come right back in?"
  • "This might be a big moment, Mario. If you want to prepare, you'd better do it now!"
  • "I can't wait to learn how the Water Vellumental is folded!"
  • "I know the Water Vellumental is a sacred being...but it's just so CUTE when its belly gets all big! Hee hee!"
  • "Do you hear that noise? I hope we didn't break anything..."
  • "I still don't know what that weird sliding-tile thing is all about...but I bet we'll end up using it before we're done in this shrine!"
  • "Did you hear scuttling behind that crack in the wall? What's making that noise?"
  • "That back wall looks like it has a weird weak spot. But hey, what do I know? Y'know?"
  • "What do POW Blocks do again? Don't they make things flip over when you bop 'em?"
  • "Look, Mario! That Sidestepper dropped something!"
  • "Where did that Sidestepper take this tile from? We should try to put it back where it belongs."

Ninja Attraction

  • "Deadly traps?! Yes! That sounds so, SO awesome!"
  • "Ooooh, that red rope is just ASKING to be tugged. Who are we to resist?"
  • "Well, well! Some stairs, eh? Looks like we're goin' up!"
  • "I'm glad we found the way up...but where should we hop back down?"
  • "Huh. No exit. That's...a problem. Anything in here look suspicious to you? The floor, maybe?"
  • "Where are we now? Is this another trick? We need more clues..."
  • "A Magic Circle appeared!"
  • "That was just a test run. Let's do it again! This time, we'll REALLY look for a way to open the castle gate."
  • "This garden is pretty, isn't it? I'd love to look at the pond up close...and that shed!"
  • "Sometimes it's about hitting the spots where there ISN'T anything suspicious! Tricky, tricky ninjas..."
  • "Have you tried hitting absolutely EVERYTHING with your hammer? That usually turns up something!"
  • "The shed just opened! This ninja house has so many surprises!"
  • "Those toothy things trapping Luigi look like they're connected to all sorts of stuff down here..."
  • "Luigi's looking pretty toothy and jaggy himself. Think you can bop him to flatten him out?"
  • "Luigi is caught in those big, toothy things! We have to save him!"
  • "This "ruler over all other keys" key might finally open that castle gate!"
  • "I wonder what's down those stairs..."
  • "We can't leave until we find every single ninja. I wanna become the most amazing ninja ever!"
  • "YES! That was SO much fun, Mario!"
  • "I think I'm getting the hang of this! Let's go another round and REALLY look for that green guy this time."
  • "OK! We're learning! Let's do it again and REALLY look for the master key this time. Please?"
  • "Looks like we cleared this trap. On to the next room!"
  • "Those round, toothy, jaggy things look like they fit together. Maybe your hammer can move them!"
  • "We may be ninjas supreme, but that doesn't mean we're done training. Let's further hone our ninja skills!"
  • "My nintuition—that's ninja intuition, obviously—is telling me we won't find the key to the castle gate in here."
  • "My nintuition—that's ninja intuition, obviously—is telling me we won't find that master key in here."
  • "My nintuition—that's ninja intuition, obviously—is telling me we won't find that green guy in here."
  • "Hmm. I guess we should try all sorts of stuff here! Open stuff, hit stuff, yank stuff... Do all the stuff!"
  • "Aww, the ninja in this box looks stuck. Can you give him a hand?"
  • "What's up with that hanging scroll in the back? Was it really that short a second ago?"
  • "Everything in this room looks the same, but I bet there's a difference hidden somewhere...like on the floor mats or walls."
  • "This yard is pretty...but I don't think there are any ninjas hidden here."
  • "Looks like we have to find the one safe path through this room. Be sure to check the walls while we're here!"

Big Sho' Theater

  • "I don't see any captured Toads in here, but we know the blue streamer is on the top floor. It's a start!"
  • "I think I see some open seats in the front row. Hurry! I don't want to miss any of the action!"
  • "The blue streamer is so close!"
  • "Smash that streamer with the B Button"
  • "We'd better get back to our seats."
  • "We saved the staff, so let's cut loose in Shogun Studios! Woo-hoo!"
  • "That Shy Guy ballet was the best! Just thinking about it makes me want to twirl..."

Autumn Mountain

  • "Where do you think the blue streamer will lead us next?"
  • "WHERE ARE YOU, BOBBY?! Argh! Knowing him, he's probably relaxing in a quiet corner somewhere..."
  • "Bobby fell off the bridge! Are we gonna have to jump down there after him?! Ohhh, gosh..."
  • "Bobby is still in Chestnut Valley. I'm not sure how I know that... I just do!"
  • "If we use the Water Vellumental's power, we can fill the lake back up and make that boat float!"
  • "The lake is back! Finally! Let's hop in that boat and follow that blue streamer downriver."
  • "That monkey by the dock might know where we can find a master oarsman, right? It's worth a try..."
  • "It felt like there was something in the can that monkey chucked at my face. Should we return it to him?"
  • "That monkey didn't even give us an answer! Just chucks a can at me, then bolts toward the tall grass without a care in the world. Sheesh!"
  • "Sooo...we need a can opener, huh? That sounds familiar. Wasn't there some kind of par-tay happening nearby?"
  • "Some of the guests are lost in the tall grass. We can't let their par-tay plans go to waste! Let's find them!"
  • "We might be able to figure out what to do about the blue streamer if we keep heading up this mountain."
  • "We're taking this party-goer to the canned-food par-tay, right?"
  • "That one guy at the party had teeth that could open ANY can... or anyTHING, for that matter!"
  • "Time to see if this monkey likes canned tuna..."
  • "He loves that tuna! Quick, ask him about the oarsman, Mario."
  • "We can FINALLY ride that boat downriver! Let's head to the dock."
  • "I'm glad this river is back to full strength. It makes for a thrilling ride! Can we do it again soon?"
  • "If the lake was full, we could ride in the boat. I wish we could magically summon a ton of water..."
  • "Bobby's always running ahead of us! Maybe he spotted something cool?"
  • "If we head to the Water Vellumental Shrine, we might be able to meet the Water Vellumental!"
  • "Bobby probably ran ahead of us to the Water Vellumental Shrine."
  • "What do you think those little square tiles on either side of the entrance do?"
  • "Hitting these tile thingies doesn't seem to do anything. Try to move them some other way!"
  • "Bobby must be lost in that tall grass. We're coming, Bobby! Stay put!"

Shogun Studios

  • "I hope we have lots of fun in Shogun Studios! I mean, what's the worst that could happen?"
  • "Think the Chain Chomp might like to gnaw on a bone?"
  • "OK, so...there was a prize that looks easy to toss in the sure-he-can dojo. If we win it, we can give that to the two Dry Bones."
  • "OK! So this Ninji needs a pipe! Then it'll give us its sure-he-cans! But... where can we find a pipe?"
  • "A straw is basically a pipe, right? I'm sure that Ninji will agree! At least, I really hope it agrees..."
  • "Finally, we have the sure-he-cans. Let's take these to the dojo and play that game!"
  • "If you clear the normal difficulty in this sure-he-can dojo, you'll win that baseball! Good luck, Mario!"
  • "If you ignore the autograph, this baseball looks PERFECT for tossing. Those Dry Bones are gonna love it!"
  • "I sure hope the Chain Chomp likes bones. They're such a great source of calcium!"
  • "Now we can enter the ninja house and look for that green guy. Ooh, what if he's a green NINJA? How cool would that be?!"
  • "There must be a staff member here who can tell us how to get into the staff room. Keep searching!"
  • "Do you think this master key will open the castle gate? Let's find out!"
  • "So the staff room is in the east side of the park, eh? That would be...the right. Right? Right!"
  • "It's important to catch your breath sometimes. Let's make sure we have lots of fun here, Mario!"
  • "WHERE is the master key to all of Shogun Studios? Maybe someone else in the staff room can help."
  • "Huh. The room on the left is almost exactly like the room on the right... That seems WAY too coincidental."
  • "I'm pretty sure the staff room is around here somewhere. If we look reeeal close, we might be able to find the entrance!"
  • "Well, this is definitely the staff room. So...where's the gate key?"
  • "Still no key... Did we miss something in the staff room?"
  • "Wait! We're not going to ignore that Goomba, are we? She looked like she needed our help!"
  • "Think, think, think... Wasn't there something in the staff room that might help us here?"
  • "I guess it's nice that the park isn't crowded...but we can't run any of these attractions on our own!"
  • "That castle courtyard is packed. To sneak by all those enemies...we might have to BECOME our enemies!"
  • "Weird! It looks exactly like one of those Paper Macho Soldiers, but... it's not moving at all."
  • "Did you see the fun-looking building past the Chain Chomp? We should be able to check it out now!"
  • "Mariooooo! C'mon! I wanna see the ninja house!"
  • "Don't you want to go into the ninja attraction again, Mario? There's so much more fun to have—I mean, uh, clues to find!"
  • "Is this the staff room? Hey! Anyone in here know where we can find the castle-gate key?"
  • "I'm losing track of which areas we've explored, Mario..."
  • "Which room are we in now? Hey! Anyone in here know where we can find the castle-gate key?"
  • "Wait, Mario! The key to the castle gate must be nearby...but where?"
  • "Was that a Goomba that peeked out from that alley? In...cosplay?"
  • "Worry not, captured staff members. We're coming to save you! Onward, to the castle!"
  • "Where, oh where is that gate key? Maybe someone who's been hanging out by the castle gate would know..."
  • "The east side of the park... The staff room is to the right, right? Maybe the key we need is in there!"
  • "First, a suspicious green guy...then the park's master key. If we find the green guy, we might learn where the key is hiding!"
  • "That green guy is supposed to be in the ninja house, right?"

Yellow Streamer[edit]

Breezy Tunnel

  • "I think we're ready to go after the yellow streamer, Mario!"
  • "Let's go through the tunnel and see where the yellow streamer leads. I'm feeling confident!"
  • "It seems like we're stuck. But when in doubt, try hitting things! Maybe something is hiding..."
  • "Aren't you going to help that poor Toad?"
  • "I want to try riding in the Boot Car! I think we just leased it, so we might as well try it out..."
  • "Hey! A Magic Circle!"
  • "At times like this, I feel like Bobby must be watching over us somehow..."

Fire Vellumental Temple

  • "It's hot...but we should try our best to reach the Fire Vellumental."
  • "I think you're just going to have to run as fast as you can!"
  • "Hmm, I think the way the floor is lighting up is meant to tell us something, Mario..."
  • "Yow! Those flaming buckets are hot! Use your hammer, Mario!"
  • "I feel like we're close to the Fire Vellumental. Are you ready?"
  • "Ooh, another Bibliofold! I can't wait to see what powers this one gives me..."
  • "Whew! It's really hot, but I guess I'm not actually melting. So I'm OK!"
  • "If you can't dodge the fire, try jumping over it!"
  • "We did it! Let's head back outside."

Temple of Shrooms

  • "We've got to find the entrance to the Temple of Shrooms. Where could it be?"
  • "There might be a switch around here somewhere!"
  • "We've got to help that poor Toad before we do anything else!"
  • "What are we supposed to do with those numbers? Do you think we need to do something in that order?"
  • "The four switches in the corners have cute triangles on them. How many triangles were on them? One, two...?"
  • "I wonder if there's a ★ somewhere in this room..."
  • "I'm thinking really hard about the design on the floor and the ★ shape... They must be related!"
  • "I'm not really feeling the groove in here, Mario. Let's look somewhere else for the sound discs."
  • "There's something about this place that makes me think a sound disc is nearby..."
  • "Let's have the DJ play a sound disc and hope for the best!"
  • "There's something on the other side of the wall. You've tried hitting everything with a hammer, right?"
  • "Where is the yellow streamer? If only King Shroomses were here to tell us..."
  • "Who did that?! Ooh, I'd be so frustrated I'd probably hammer everything in sight!"
  • "It's almost like we need some super-stretchy arms for this..."
  • "I think maybe we should look a little harder for more of those poor faceless Toads around here..."
  • "I don't think there are any faceless Toads around here, Mario."
  • "The power of ten... Do you think it'll work if we all try pushing together?"
  • "Let's go back and look in the area where we found that first Toad without a face. On the first floor!"
  • "I think we've got enough Toads! Let's go back to that place with the DJ."
  • "Hey, look—a Magic Circle! Maybe you can use it to reach the streamer."
  • "Ooh, we should go see what the desert looks like now that the sun is back in the sky!"
  • "Hmm... Do you think those statues look like they're meant to be holding something?"
  • "I bet those Toads are having a lot more fun dancing now that they have their faces back."
  • "We'd be able to learn something if there was ancient writing. Do you see any of that around here?"
  • "Eeek! I can't handle that many spiders! You'll have to do something about them if you want a hint!"
  • "Oh, I wish we could help those poor Toads stuck in the web... But we definitely can't help from here."
  • "This temple is pretty creepy, but I think the professor is hamming it up just a little bit..."
  • "Ooh! It's frustrating that there aren't any stairs on the left. Could we dig up a clue somehow?"
  • "You found a Magic Circle! You know what to do now..."
  • "Oh, those cheeky Ancient Ones with their silly hints! Does that mean the other sign will have a good hint?"
  • "Is it just me or does it look weird now that the two statues aren't matching anymore?"
  • "This place is so big! I hope we don't get lost..."
  • "Are those papier mummies? Or mummy mâchés? I guess it doesn't matter—just do something about them!"

Sweetpaper Valley

  • "C'mon, Mario! Let's follow that yellow streamer all the way through Sweetpaper Valley!"
  • "This place brings back some difficult memories. We miss you, Bobby..."

Scorching Sandpaper Desert

  • "Let's keep moving, Mario. Maybe we'll find the yellow streamer if we just keep exploring."
  • "Wow! It's so neat that the professor can read that writing. Maybe we'll get to the bottom of this streamer mystery after all!"
  • "Ooh, I want the professor to excavate ALL those shiny spots! Press Directional Buttons anytime you find one."
  • "I think the professor wants to look for more clues at the hotel. Should we head back there?"
  • "Hmm...if we need to perform a ritual... Didn't we find a place to do that out in the Scorching Sandpaper Desert?"
  • "Hmm...those birds are just standing there like statues. Could we startle them with a bang somehow?"
  • "Wouldn't it be cute if all of the birds were looking at the center?"
  • "I'm normally so shy, but sometimes I see a microphone and I just want to SING!"
  • "Oh my gosh. I can't believe my singing did THAT to the desert bird. I'm so embarrassed."
  • "This desert is HUGE and probably filled with cool stuff! I hope we can see some of it while we look for the streamer."
  • "Do you think we should explore those lanky towers a little bit more?"
  • "What do you think that ancient message means? Look around its feet? That lanky statue's feet?"
  • "That ancient message about "walls of waves" is so strange. Could it be a wall with waves drawn on it?"
  • "Twins entwined in needles... Could that be one of those spiky green things?"
  • ""Eclipse the sun above the lake..." Oh! There's a lake in the desert town. Could it be there?"
  • "The jewels that the professor dug up are so pretty! I wonder if they have anything to do with those towers..."
  • "If these towers were actual Toads, I just bet they'd be happy with a little more light. Don't you think?"
  • "It's almost like the towers are looking at something now. But what?"
  • "We found a Magic Circle where the Temple of Shrooms is sleeping in Scorching Sandpaper Minor, right?"
  • "The yellow streamer actually goes all the way into the Temple of Shrooms!"
  • "Hmm. I hope it wasn't my singing. Maybe it still isn't the right song for the birdies..."
  • "The professor wants to look at the Altar of the Sun. Is it far in the Scorching Sandpaper Desert?"
  • "It's a pretty long staircase, but I wonder how far it goes on..."
  • "This is more like what I expected from the desert. It's HOT!"
  • "It's really cold in here! Can you think of a way to warm things up?"
  • "Whoa, you found a new Magic Circle for the Fire Vellumental!"
  • "It sounds like we should look for the Altar of the Sun in the Scorching Sandpaper Desert."
  • "Ack! The cactus! Use the Boot Car! Press ZR Button!"
  • "Does the cactus have some of my brother's stickers? What if you tried to hit them with the Boot Car when the cactus is tired?"
  • "Ooh, I see one of those stickers! Hit it before it's too late!"
  • "I think we might need to use the hammer to reach that last sticker from above!"
  • "Could the end of the yellow streamer be just around the corner? Wait, do deserts have corners?"
  • "Let's head back to Toad Town so we can set sail on the Great Sea and follow the purple streamer."
  • "We need the sea chart, but Captain T. Ode went to find his ship. Should we check the musée?"
  • "All we can do right now is try to stay safe!"
  • "Well, this is a nice change of pace after that blazing-hot desert!"
  • "I hope we find someone who can read those mysterious letters in that place where the lights are shining!"
  • "Yeah, I definitely can't read that strange writing. Maybe we should go back to that town..."
  • "Should we check with the desert help kiosk in town about where the professor Toad went?"
  • "If I had to guess, I'd say that bowl of sand looks like the perfect place to set an offering."

Shroom City

  • "Maybe there's someone here who can read the mysterious letters. Should we check out that big, bright building?"
  • "Ooh, I didn't see that Magic Circle in front of the stalls before! When did that get there?"
  • "Should we go back and take a look inside the hotel suite now that we have the key?"
  • "Did you see the side gates near the town entrance? Maybe we can use those now that we have a key!"
  • "Wasn't there something we still had to do in the desert?"
  • "I'm so glad all of those poor Toads got their faces back. Now we can talk to all of them!"
  • "They said the professor is on the second floor of the hotel. I wonder what he'll be like..."
  • "Could someone who reads mysterious letters be at the hotel?"
  • "OK, so he's on the first floor, not the second. But at least we got to see those cool pictures up there!"
  • "Well, he's not here. Maybe there's an important clue about his current whereabouts in his room somewhere!"
  • "Should we check with the front desk again about the professor?"
  • "The murals on the second floor of the hotel are just so fascinating. Do you think they're important?"
  • "If the green guy is in town, we should look around for him. Yay, a night on the town!"

Purple Streamer[edit]

The Princess Peach

  • "Pretty quiet for a party boat... Is everyone on break?"
  • "This boat is so huge and fancy! Traveling aboard this beauty must make for some great memories."

Ice Vellumental Mountain

  • "That rock is a weird color, right? Is that some kind of clue?"
  • "Wait. Isn't this the entrance to the mountain? We haven't met the Ice Vellumental yet! Back in the pipe!"
  • "Those snowballs are in the way! We'll have to put a stop to those Folded Soldiers if we want to pass."
  • "Sliding on the ice is fun...until we stop. Use your hammer to hit the walls and keep us moving!"
  • "The Ice Vellumental must be close... Get ready, Mario!"
  • "Time to learn the Ice Vellumental's special folds. I'll do my best!"
  • "The moat is totally frozen. We can walk over it now!"
  • "Oh, hey...it's all icy here too! Wanna see how far this ice goes?"
  • "We got the Ice Vellumental's power! We should finish those trials next... if we can reach the temples, that is."
  • "Brrr! Can we pick up the pace a bit? I worry we'll catch a cold before we even make it to the Ice Vellumental!"
  • "It's SO cold. We'll freeze if we don't keep moving! Just keep smashing every suspicious-looking spot..."
  • "If you're feeling stumped, try taking a quick break to clear your head in that small room nearby."
  • "Did you feel that shaking just now? It felt like it came from outside..."
  • "That pounding is so annoying! We have to make him stop!"
  • "Yes! Let's go, Magic Circle! M to the A to the G-I-C! Woo!"
  • "Where did the other half of the Magic Circle go?! Do we have to finish it ourselves?!"

Sea Tower

  • "It looks like the Sea Tower is the only way forward. We'll have to get up there sooner or later!"
  • "Aha! Gotcha now, you tricky little Sidestepper. Go get it, Mario!"
  • "If we feed this round, red ball to the statue, it might stop feeling sad and cheer right up!"
  • "If this Ice Vellumental gets a cavity, it can just melt its fangs with fire! That'll save it a ton on dental work."
  • "Is there anything in here that could help us give the Fire Vellumental a strong nudge from behind?"
  • "If you're feeling stumped, try taking a quick break to clear your head in that small room nearby."
  • "Did you feel that shaking just now? It felt like it came from outside..."
  • "Those rocks are a weird color, right? Is that some kind of clue?"
  • "Hey! It's another slippery slate! That means we get to slide around some more. Let's do it!"
  • "This looks familiar, doesn't it? Didn't we have to remember the order of these light-up floors last time?"
  • "Now that the Ice Vellumental lost its fangs, its open mouth is just begging us to pass through!"
  • "Hmmm. Three round openings for three round...somethings. That certainly seems important."
  • "I knew the purple streamer would be all the way at the top of this tower!"
  • "Hey, what's that writing in the center? Looks like that weird roll of tape was standing on something..."
  • "Think there's a connection between the Vellumentals and these four spots? There HAS to be, right?"
  • "There it goes! PYOOOW! It's like it's calling to us from above the clouds..."
  • "Why do you think this tower was built, anyway? Is it some sort of tribute to the Vellumentals?"
  • "We got the door open, but it'll be a long way to the top... Let's get started!"
  • "Keep following that purple streamer! Allllll the way up!"
  • "Moving platforms?! No fair! Are there any platforms that won't let us down?"
  • "The poor Earth Vellumental is split in half... That one Water Vellumental next to it looks really sad!"
  • "That blue Sidestepper was carrying something! Which way did it go?!"
  • "Getting over those moving rocks will be tricky. I don't think we can do it without platforms!"
  • "That tricky Sidestepper keeps hiding in the cracks! If we could block 'em, it'd be stuck out in the open..."
  • "Where do you think the purple streamer goes? We'd better not lose sight of it."
  • "Are you sure we saw EVERYTHING on Full Moon Island? We didn't miss anything important?"
  • "Where do you think that mushroom-shaped handle goes? Maybe it fits somewhere...mushroomy? Hmm."
  • "Did we miss anything on Mushroom Island? I feel like we're forgetting something important..."
  • "The key we got from Luigi has a diamond mark on it. Haven't we seen some place shaped like a diamond?"
  • "Are you sure we saw EVERYTHING on Full Moon Island? We didn't miss anything important?"
  • "The key we got from Luigi has a familiar shape on it... Wasn't there a symbol like that on my copied notes from one of those islands?"
  • "Shouldn't we head back to Diamond Island? We never finished those three trials!"
  • "Maybe these orbs can help us follow that purple streamer all the way up that huge Sea Tower!"
  • "The purple streamer goes allllll the way to the top of the Sea Tower!"
  • "Our captain friends told me they call this sea "great" because it's so big! Isn't that big? I mean, great?"
  • "If we want to venture into this fog, we'll need a reliable sea chart... Let's find one of those first!"
  • "Oooh, what kind of island have we found now?"
  • "Ready to head back to the ship? The captain might be waiting on us."
  • "If this island has eyes and a nose... do you think it has ears too?"
  • "Now that we've explored one ear hole, it'd be crazy for us to NOT crawl into the other one, right?"
  • "Huh! It looks as if the left and right sides of Mr. Bonehead are similar yet sliiightly different...but how?"
  • "Did you hear that sound? It came from the center of Mr. Bonehead! What do you think it was?"
  • "I never expected to find so many interesting things inside this skull. Let's see what's in his nose next!"
  • "I don't know why, but I'm curious about the stuff we saw inside this skull's nose."
  • "That white, stoney person has their back to us! I wish they'd turn this way so we could talk face-to-face."
  • "I guess we should head back to Toad Town. Hey, maybe we'll find Captain T. Ode in the musée!"
  • "Hm! This Toad looks...different. Can you see what's written below him?"
  • "Did we find all of the Toads on this island? I feel like we missed some."
  • "Hey...didn't Captain T. Ode say he visited this island a LONG time ago? He's like a time traveler! So cool!"
  • "We need a nice, big fire to melt this ice. Any chance there's a you-know-what hiding on this island?"
  • "Ha! I knew there'd be a Magic Circle here somewhere! Time to unleash the Fire Vellumental!"
  • "What a cute little house! Wonder if anyone is home..."
  • "We can't open the door, so I guess we should move on...but I want to come back here later!"
  • "If we put something hand-sized and easy to grab on this door we can't open, it might become a door we CAN open!"
  • "This house's backyard is even cuter than the front! But...where in the world are the owners hiding?"
  • "What's that thing on top of the bookshelf? Is there an easy way for us to get it down?"
  • "Onward, to Bonehead Island! If you get lost, just press L Button to check the sea chart!"
  • "This may sound silly, but...is there any chance Luigi's idea might work?"
  • "That book sitting on top of the shelf looks a bit fishy to me... Maybe it's a book full of fish facts?"
  • "We have to free the person who folded my brother!"
  • "I can't stop wondering why Olly got so mad at the Origami Craftsman. Why would he lash out like that?"
  • "Ooh! The buttons behind these patches of grass are making all sorts of stuff happen. Press some more!"
  • "There's a Toad statue here! We're gonna check it out, right? It's so mysterious!"
  • "This heart-shaped island is so cute! I love it!"
  • "There must be some way to get that Toad out of that barrel..."
  • "I know we have to follow the purple streamer...but a quick stop at some of these islands might be fun!"
  • "There's a Toad statue here! We're gonna check it out, right? It's so mysterious!"
  • "How did that Toad in the barrel even... No. You know what? Best to leave that a mystery."
  • "Hey! That Toad is calling for you!"
  • "This Toad seems like a pretty big scaredy-cat. Can't even cross the tall grass alone... Sheesh!"
  • "We'll never find the other Toads in all this tall grass! Don't we have an item that can help?"
  • "Of course! Our Toad Radar will help us find these Toads in no time!"
  • "What do you think these Toads are gonna do after they all make it through all this tall grass?"
  • "There's a Toad statue here! We're gonna check it out, right? It's so mysterious!"
  • "Those Toads really know how to cut a rug... Oh no. I think I just became a Feelin' Fungi fangirl!"
  • "Check out that Sidestepper in the water! Looks like he's having...fun? I think?"
  • "The purple streamer is wrapped around the Sea Tower. I guess we should head there next!"
  • "It's a Magic Circle! What do you think this one's gonna do?"
  • "Look at all of this! Who knew there was so much cool stuff hiding just beneath the waves?"
  • "Did we miss any Toads on this island? I don't see any... Oh no! What if they fell into the sea?!"
  • "That fishing pole looks mighty tempting, doesn't it? I guess a quick break couldn't hurt..."
  • "How are we supposed to get back to the ship when our path is on FIRE?!"
  • "I get why this place was named Hammer Island...but "Fire Hammer Island" would've been waaay cooler."
  • "Those tumbling rocks won't let up! Bet it'd hurt to get bowled over by one of those."
  • "Those rocks are SO huge. Make sure you time your moves just right...and watch your footing!"
  • "We're locked out of the Sea Tower! I guess we'll have to find something else to do. Wanna sail to some other islands and explore for a bit?"
  • "Hold on to this joy, Mario. You may never get another chance to smash that many ? Blocks all at once!"
  • "Great job, Mario! Let's go get your coins!"
  • "Ooh! Are you gonna battle those big Paper Macho enemies again?"
  • "Look at all these ? Blocks. Can you imagine how satisfying it would be to smash them all at once?"
  • "That book is so tempting... Go on, Mario! Take a peek. I won't tell!"
  • "I can't stop thinking about those marks I copied. There were four circles, then a weird shape... What does it all mean?!"
  • "I keep thinking about Crescent Moon Island. There was something strange there, right? I just can't get it out of my head!"
  • "There's another Toad statue here too?"
  • "The trial is about to begin! Good luck, Mario!"
  • "You aced it! Bring on the next trial!"
  • "You did a great jorb, so let's grab that orb! Hee hee."
  • "Yay! You cleared the trial! Now...let's get out of here."
  • "We got all three orbs! I guess we should head back to the Great Sea and figure out where to go next."
  • "You've got power, wisdom, AND courage, Mario...but I don't think that's a secret to anybody."
  • "Three trials for three orbs, eh? If we can win 'em, I want 'em!"
  • "That multicolored Magic Circle is so pretty... It's mesmerizing! Can we check it out? Please?"
  • "Looks like we can enter this temple now!"
  • "Hmm. We can't just walk up to the temple... What do we have to do to make the entrance accessible?"
  • "This temple is too high up! We have to lower it somehow."
  • "We'll never earn that orb if we can't even enter the temple! Maybe something around here can help..."
  • "We'll never get into that temple at this rate. Want to take a break and explore the mountains in the back?"

Green Streamer[edit]

Spring of Rainbows

  • "All right! This should be easy—we just follow the signs to the Spring of Rainbows, right?"
  • "Ahh...I'm feeling refreshed and Bowser Jr. has his color back! Let's head back to the castle."
  • "Do you think they allow return contestants on that show? We should try again, Mario!"
  • "Want to play Shy Guys Finish Last one more time, Quiz Master?"
  • "Is this the hot spring? It's so dark. Maybe there's a sign we can look at."
  • "Oh, c'est une pipe! I mean...it's a pipe, Mario!"
  • "So the pipe is clogged. Can we find a new route and unclog it?"
  • "Just press and hold B Button to hold on for dear life when the wind blows. You can do it!"
  • "Is something blocking the pipe?"
  • "Ugh, I'm getting anxious for another hot spring! Where's the entrance? Could it be hidden in the wall?"
  • "I just want to soak in the Spring of Rainbows! I don't know where it is, but I feel like it's not here..."
  • "We get to play a game and then visit the hot spring? All riiiight!"

Spring of Jungle Mist

  • "It's so wild out here! The hot spring must be so natural..."
  • "You know what to do. Use the Magic Circle, Mario!"
  • "I guess maybe we should try the other path? Sorry that we seem to be taking the long way..."
  • "What is that horrifying thing?! We should get out of here before it comes back!"
  • "Eeeee! Let's get out of here as fast as we can, Mario!"
  • "We've got a little farther to go to reach that big tree..."
  • "It'd be great if we had hands that could reach the ladder somehow. Is there something useful close by?"
  • "A small Magic Circle? I might have seen a similar leaf somewhere."
  • "The tree we want to get to is on the other side of the bridge. Where's the side path?"
  • "You found the Magic Circle!"
  • "We got the ladder, so I guess we might as well use it."
  • "I think we still need to get higher up in the tree to find the hot spring."
  • "We must be getting close to the Spring of Jungle Mist..."
  • "C'mon, let's go back to that spot by the broken bridge."
  • "OK, so we've got to find the plug. It's all just grass and trees around here, though..."
  • "Now that we found a Magic Circle, we can use those stretchy arms!"
  • "We found the plug! Do you think the hot spring is ready for us?"
  • "Well, the plug isn't doing much good like that. How can we push it down?"
  • "Is this the way to get to the other side? Let's find out..."
  • "Don't forget to get a stamp, Mario! We need that stamp!"
  • "We came, we saw, we spa'd. Should we head back to the main resort?"
  • "It seemed like maybe there was a detour back there. Should we go back and check it out?"
  • "Hmm...not much of a hot spring without any water, is it?"
  • "Finally! Now we can have a nice soak in the Spring of Jungle Mist."
  • "We came, we saw, we spa'd. Let's go back to the main resort and collect our prize!"
  • "It sure was a jungle out there, huh? OH! I totally get that saying now!"
  • "What to do, what to do... We could at least tidy up these leaves while we figure out how to proceed."
  • "Oh, there was a Magic Circle hiding there all along!"
  • "Oh, right, the bridge is still broken. Let's go back to the other path."
  • "Those flowers seem to be having fun. What are those things they're blowing up in the air?"

Bowser's Castle

  • "We've got to find Bowser and the green streamer. They must be in here somewhere!"
  • "Let's head up to the second floor."
  • "Did Kamek say he has a key in his quarters?"
  • "Are these ALL pictures of Bowser?"
  • "There's something different about this area, but what is it?"
  • "Ooh! A Magic Circle was hidden in the portrait of my brother!"
  • "All right, now where's that green streamer?"
  • "I think the streamer must be on the second floor with Bowser."
  • "Try to hit those flying heads with your hammer!"
  • "You're going to have to peel Kamek's face off of that...thing. Be careful! Those magic attacks are strong!"
  • "Now it's just a regular giant Paper Macho monster! You can beat it the same way you've beaten the others."
  • "Let's remove that green streamer. It's the last one, Mario!"
  • "It's finally time to take down the last streamer. Give it a good whack, will you?"
  • "I know you have your differences with Bowser, but you should probably help him down from there."
  • "It sounds like Bowser has a plan! Should you follow him down to the supply closet on the first floor?"
  • "Hmm, so you have to use the pillars somehow to open the door. What's the red button on the wall for?"
  • "Does hitting the pillars with your hammer do anything?"
  • "OK, so it seems like the red light needs to flow through the pillars. Does it need to hit that Bowser face on the wall?"
  • "We need to do something about the pillars in the storage room on the first floor."
  • "You unlocked the door! I don't know what's on the other side, but Bowser sure seems confident..."
  • "I think you should go talk to Bowser about his plan."
  • "He said to push the left button, so that's what I'd do. Even though it seems a bit confusing..."
  • "We're so close to Peach's Castle! Let's make sure we're ready and then go talk to Bowser."
  • "Bowser's waiting for us, remember? In that room with his secret weapon or whatever?"
  • "Oh, Bobby... I hope you're watching over us from wherever you are..."

Shangri-Spa

  • "Is the green streamer the longest streamer yet? I wonder how far it keeps going..."
  • "Let's talk to these Toads about some spa treatments. I want to be pampered for once!"
  • "Ooh, Mario... We HAVE to go check out these hot springs. Even if I get soggy, I need a good soak."
  • "We have a lot on our plate, but for now? All we have to do is soak in the hot springs and collect stamps."
  • "I think we should listen to this groundskeeper fellow. He seems kind and trustworthy!"
  • "Oh, the streamer is going into Bowser's face! Are we going to have to go into...Bowser's face?"
  • "The Spring of Purification is the one closest to the spa entrance, isn't it?"
  • "Is that thing serious about the hot spring being full? Do you want to try just going in?"
  • "Is it too hot for you, Mario? Maybe we can add some cold water. Where do you think it comes from?"
  • "Do you think the water's OK now?"
  • "Now that we have all of the stamps, let's go back to the front desk. I can't wait to see what we'll get!"
  • "Where could the secret spa be? Is there a Shangri-Spa map or something somewhere?"
  • "There's something funny about that map if you ask me. Almost like something hiding in plain sight."
  • "Look closely to the left of the fountain... It seems like there might be a secret located there."
  • "Ooh! The Spring of Rainbows should be able to restore Bowser Jr.'s color!"
  • "I think Junior is ready to help us reach the clouds by the entrance to the castle... Are you ready?"
  • "We can go inside Bowser's face—I mean castle—now! Let's go find the end of that green streamer!"
  • "Are you ready? Then let's head back to Bowser's Castle."
  • "You know, when this is all said and done...we should come back here and really soak. Like, REALLY soak..."
  • "Don't forget the stamp! We have to get our free prize!"
  • "I don't know what we're supposed to do exactly, but it couldn't hurt to relax for a while in a hot spring."

Origami Castle[edit]

Hotfoot Crater

  • "It seems like we'll catch fire if we touch that lava. We might need a bridge to get across..."
  • "Hey, a bridge! Can we get to Bowser now?"
  • "Let's hurry while all of those monsters are stuck back there!"
  • "We've got to keep moving forward! For Kamek's sake!"
  • "Ack! That huge rock is in our way. Can we get one of those monsters to help us blow it up?"
  • "We've got to do our best! For Kamek and Junior's sake too!"
  • "Look—Bowser is right over there!"

Origami Castle

  • "My brother and Princess Peach must both be in there..."
  • "We actually got the key this time! Let's use it and head inside."
  • "Where's my brother? Further in?"
  • "Let's follow the princess. But watch out! You saw what happened to Luigi, right?"
  • "How rude! First he steals the castle, and then he folds it into something completely different."
  • "Use the Magic Circle to make those stretchy arms, Mario!"
  • "Does that look like the way in?"
  • "We can't let that Folded Soldier see us! Is there a way to cross without being seen?"
  • "I think we should go back and follow the princess!"
  • "You can try smashing the wall with your hammer to make a path, but be careful! You don't want to fall..."
  • "Ooh...that was such a mean trick. Can we use the 1,000-Fold Arms to fold the path back?"
  • "I'm not sure what to do next, but taking out a Folded Soldier is never a bad idea..."
  • "Oh my gosh! Those Koopa Troopas just STOLE our Magic Circle!"
  • "I have a good feeling about the box on the bottom left. After that, it's up to you, Mario..."
  • "Oh no...another dead end! Have you tried knocking?"
  • "Wow! Can we finally unfold Bowser? I can't wait to see what his face looks like when it has a body!"
  • "My brother must be close. I'm getting nervous..."
  • "I'm not even sure how to get inside. I don't think our key will work. Maybe try using your hammer..."
  • "Let's keep going! I know my brother is waiting for us."
  • "Ooh, dead ends are frustrating. Can you make some headway with your hammer?"
  • "He's just on the other side of that door. We can do this!"
  • "We have to stop my brother!"

Other Areas[edit]

Sensor Lab

  • "The big mushroom on that machine must mean that a Toad lives here. What's up with that thing, anyway?"
  • "Another pipe! Let's hop in and find out what's waiting on the other side. So many pipe mysteries!"
  • "There's a new pipe! We're going in, right? Isn't that your whole deal?"
  • "If the sensor's battery gets low, we can just...ree-char-jit. Hey! I sound like a real engineer!"
  • "Is that a Toad sticking out of that machine? What are they doing?"
  • ""Fax travel" will let us hop right to the Sensor Lab! Amazing! I have no idea how it works, but...it's amazing!"

Cafes

  • "This place looks sophisticated... A little TOO-phisticated for me. I'll keep quiet."
  • "That looked so refreshing. It smelled great too!"

Olivia (Hints in Battle)[edit]

  • "What do you think would happen if you hopped on that shell? Maybe it'll hit all the enemies behind it?"
  • "Better keep an eye on that timer. If the clock runs out, the board will lock in place!"
  • "Looks like you can only move the rings around a set number of times per turn. Think carefully!"
  • "Move the rings around to arrange the enemies. That's one of the basics of battling!"
  • "Don't leave those angry enemies alone for too long. They might hit you with super-strong attacks!"
  • "Careful, Mario! Your HP is low! This would be a great time to use a Mushroom, don't you think?"
  • "Look who's here, Mario! Your friends will join you in battles too. They've got your back! Go, team!"
  • "Those flying enemies might be too high to reach with your hammer..."
  • "Surprise! If you need a hint during battles, just press X Button to call me. I promise to do my best!"
  • "You can press Y Button to have Toads join in and cheer you on!"
  • "If running away seems like your best option, it looks like you just need to hold down B Button!"
  • "Don't forget to use items! Some of them can be surprisingly powerful!"
  • "If you aren't able to line the enemies up just right, try using an item. Some of them might help out a lot!"
  • "Uh-oh. Looks like you can't run away this time! We don't have a choice...so let's get 'em!"
  • "Argh! I hate sharp things. That spike will pierce right through your regular boots...and feet!"
  • "Those boney guys are so creepy... What if we beat one, but it comes right back on the next turn? Aah! That sounds like a horror movie!"
  • "That enemy looks tough... It might even be tough enough to repel fireballs and stuff!"
  • "If the hammer doesn't work, why not try stomping on it with your boots?"
  • "They can vanish?! What a pain! Good thing you memorized which panels they were on...right, Mario?"
  • "Your hammer and boots both have different attack ranges. Choose the right attack for the right enemy!"

Origami Craftsman[edit]

  • "...I can hear you... I'm trapped in a space between dimensions... H-help me, please..."
  • "It's cramped...and dark..."
  • "Phew! Thanks for saving me...Mario?! Wow! A real celebrity is visiting my workshop! And Luigi is here too! I'm the Origami Craftsman. I live a humble life, folding origami. From sunup to sundown. EVERY day. ...I REALLY love origami."
  • "Olivia?! Crease my corners! Is that really you? You look just how I designed you! Who in the world folded you?! And why aren't you with Olly?"
  • "I see. Olly...what have you done? You are correct, Olivia. It was I who folded your brother. I wanted to make him truly unique, so I used a secret technique to bring him to life. Olly was proud and strong...but very angry. He turned on me, trapped me in a realm between light and dark... which turned out to be just a wall, I guess. How embarrassing. I'm guessing he completed you after that, Olivia. It seems he also ran off with my best origami-making tools."
  • "I had intended for him to be a part of the Origami Castle I was building for the Origami Festival. Both Olly the Origami King and his sister, Olivia, were to sit up top as the finishing touches. I don't get to celebrate my craft very often, so I might have gone a bit...overboard."
  • "I cannot believe that Olly managed to fold you on his own, Olivia. He can use the Fold of Life. Origami has folded origami. It defies the natural order! I'm responsible for all of this. I wish I'd never used that darn Fold of Life technique..."
  • "Remarkable. Truly remarkable. Your journey with Mario has made you strong, Olivia—and so kind! I may not have folded you myself, but...I'm proud of you. I don't know how to stop Olly. I failed once. I'd only fail again. I'll have to leave him to you two. Please, Mario...keep Olivia safe on your adventure."
  • "I'm so sorry for the trouble that Olly and I have caused you, Mario... Please, look after Olivia for me."
  • "Wait!"
  • "Take these notes with you, Olivia. I hope they can help you..."
  • "Ah yes... I remember this paper well. Such a lovely royal purple... And Olivia! So good to see you making use of the giant-hammer technique I folded into your design."
  • "Wait! There are an awful lot of cranes here. Is one of you attempting the forbidden 1,000-crane technique?!"
  • "Very well, I will teach you. I suppose all of this trouble is my fault, in a way. After all, I was the one who originally folded your brother. This will be my last Fold of Life, then. Olivia...prepare to fold as you have never folded before!"
  • "Well done. With that, the technique is complete. You may make your wish, Olivia."
  • "Ah, Mario! Peach! Come take a look. My masterpiece is finally finished."
  • "You see? It's a miniaturized Origami Castle...just like the one Olly made."

Princess Peach[edit]

  • "How good to see you…"
  • "Shouldn't the Mushroom Kingdom... unfold? And be refolded unto glory?" (first question)
  • "And what of those... Toads? Shouldn't they be silenced... for all of eternity?" (second question)
  • "Will you crease yourself and be reborn, just like me?" (third question)
  • "Wrong answer. Right answer. It matters not. All your responses are all paper thin."
  • "Goodbye..."
  • "Why are you still so...flat?"
  • "Why haven't you joined me in folded glory..."

Professor Toad[edit]

  • "Well, all things considered, it could have been wors-Wait! Who are you? I've never seen anything LIKE you. Are you one of the Ancient Ones? Tell me!"

Rubber Band[edit]

  • "ATTENTION, honored guests of Big Sho' Theater! Your attention, if you please! Today's very special performance will begin VERY shortly... So fill those seats before I SNAP! My patience is stretching thin. I shan't tell you TWICE!"
  • "Last call! There are still three VERY open seats in the VERY front row."
  • "Attention, audience! We have a few FINAL announcements for our VERY special guests. Outside food or drink, flash photography... and opening the menu screen while onstage are all strictly, super-duper prohibited. With that said, please sit back and enjoy this VERY special show!"
  • "ARGH! That's NOT how that scene was written! They were supposed to POP you to SMITHEREENS! Ugh. I DESPISE improvisation. Time for the next stage! Let's make sure he "breaks a leg" this time... Hee hee hee!"
  • "UGH! That's NOT how that act was supposed to end! I mean, really! There's no way Mario is actually THAT strong! Talk about a STRETCH! You Paper Macho goons had better band together in the NEXT act... or I may SNAP!"
  • "Ooooh, I have HAD IT with your show stealing and grandstanding! You wish to be the STAR? Fine! Come on up and face the MUSIC!"
  • "No, no, NO! The star of the show isn't Mario, you uncultured HACKS! The real superstar...is MEEE!"
  • "Ah! Such a long monologue...yet you didn't flub a single line! Have you ever considered a career in acting? Oh, never mind! Your SKILL at the performing arts shan't trip ME up! Get ready! This shall be your FINAL performance!"
  • "Behold the POWER of my rubber bands! Let's see how well you take stage direction, ha ha!"
  • "♪Ooh, your PITIFUL attacks have no effect on my BOUNCY body!♪"
  • "Prepare yourselves! Here comes my Rubber Bind attack!"
  • "OW! HEY! Don't YANK on my bands like that! That's no way to treat a STAR!"
  • "The curtain's been pulled back! I've been EXPOSED! You've reduced my ensemble to a one-man band! You'll PAY for that!"
  • "Ohhh! It wasn't supposed to end like this, Mario... The AGONY! The BRUTALITY! The sheer injustice of it all! O muses! O bard! Have you TRULY forsaken me for these flimsy, flat, PAPERY beings? I wanted to make this place GRAND! Eliminate things DULL and bland! Alas, this was my FINAL stand. It's curtains for poor Rubber—*gaaasp*"

Scissors[edit]

  • "Hmph. Well dodged. Of course, I expect nothing less. It would have been terribly boring to end things so quickly, yes? Why don't you warm up a bit? I'll send out my new pet for you to play with."
  • "And yet, you must face it. Have fun! I'll be waiting if you happen to survive."
  • "I suppose any toy made out of the faces of those pathetic minions was bound to be flimsy. No matter. I trust you've warmed up? En garde!"
  • "Let's get this straight: I WILL annihilate you... but I don't see why we can't have some fun first. After all, where's the challenge in slicing you to strips immediately? Therefore, I shall grant you... a slight advantage."
  • "See? My blades have been sheathed. We're on equal footing. However! Should you damage this cover during our battle... I shall interpret such boldness as a direct challenge...and I won't hold anything back!"
  • "PFAH! Amateur! You've broken the safety cover! I did warn you... My blade has been unsheathed... Now it must taste ink and paper!"
  • "All right! Enough. It was fun while it lasted...but your feeble attacks have grown tiresome. Let's CUT to the climax! Ha haaa!"
  • "You shan't be needing these...and I prefer an uncluttered battlefield."
  • "I'm readying my ultimate attack! You won't stand a chance!"
  • "Guarding is useless! This is the end for you, you flat fiends! FAREWELL!"
  • "HEY! Th-that's not fair! You can't jump OVER it! Ooh, you CHEATER! Stay right there! Let me go again..."

Sea Captain Toad[edit]

  • "I've been stuck up on this mountain for days, longing for the open sea..."
  • "See, I'm actually...Sea Captain Toad!"
  • "I'll be tending to my ship by the port in Toad Town. Stop by and give me an "ahoy" on your next visit!"
  • "Phew! Flops for flopping me out!"

Senchō Kinopio[edit]

  • "Thank you, Mario! I'm the captain of the Princess Peach. Toot toot! It was dark and scary inside that beast, but at NO point did I sob fully and uncontrollably. Any fibs stating otherwise are just that! Dirty, mutinous fibs! Toot toot! This ship was full of passengers, but we helped them escape in lifeboats to preserve customer satisfaction."
  • "I hope all our passengers are safe out there on the Great Sea... Toot toot..."
  • "Mariooo! Toot toooot!"
  • "We need to rescue the passengers that abandoned ship, but there's too much fog out on the Great Sea! If you see that the fog has lifted, will you come and let us know? Please? Toot toot?"
  • "Oh! Is the fog gone? Fantastic! Thanks for letting us know, Mario! Toot toot!"
  • "We can't set sail until all of the huge holes in the ship have been plugged. That could take a while... Toot..."
  • "You can see how many of the ship's holes have been fixed in the menu."
  • "Now we can pick up our former passengers that were scattered across the Great Sea! Once you're back on your adorable little ship, we'll head out. Thanks again! Toot—and, might I add—toot!"
  • "OK, crew! Let's go pick up those passengers! Anchors awaaaaay! TOOT TOOOOOT!"
  • "We're patrolling the Great Sea to rescue all the passengers that abandoned ship. Toot toot! If you see any stranded Toads out there, could you help them out?"
  • "Mario! Thanks to you, we rescued ALL of the passengers that had abandoned the Princess Peach! You're a lifesaver! Please, take this special souvenir with our thanks. Toot toot!"
  • "The Princess Peach is now free to resume regular pleasure-cruising procedures! Toot toot! Thank you, Mario. We really owe you one. Toot."
  • "Safety! Toot toot! Hospitality! Toot toot! Customer satisfaction! TOOT!"

Shy Guy[edit]

  • "In even better news, the Sudden Death round is your chance to earn another fabulous prize! And in slightly worse news, if you lose, it's game over."
  • "That adds up to a grand total of (number) points. You still need (number) more points to win!"
  • "Oh no! Even if Mario gets everything right from here on out, he still can't get enough points to win. And you know what that means...Game over!"
  • "The rings have been set. The answer awaits. But is it the right answer? There’s only one way to find out..."

Snifit[edit]

  • "It's not fair! I can't be paying people out—I'll go outta business!"
  • "Wrong!"
  • "Time's up!"
  • "Nope! So sorry."
  • "Time's up... So sorry."
  • "Let's try again. The number of chances you have left...is 2/1."

Sombrero Guy[edit]

  • "Let's have ourselves a super-duper canned-food par-tay to celebrate, shy oh my!"

Tape[edit]

  • "Hey! I'm elevatin' here!"
  • "You Mario? I've got a message for you from the boss. How 'bout ya come over here so I can give it to ya? And you, origami kid... Be a good goil and run back to Olly. It's past your beddy-bye time, capisce? You two were gonna try and take dis streamer out of the picture, eh? I come in strips too, ya know. You got a grudge wit' things dat wrap over other things? You think I'm some kinda JOKE? EH?"
  • "HEY! I'm not tacky! I'm STICKY! DAT'S IT! Ya want a piece of me? Well, you're gonna get it!"
  • "Heh heh heh. I got a feelin' dis is gonna be a fun one. C'mon, you two! Throw your best attacks at me. We'll see what sticks!"
  • "Hey! Don't go messin' up my hard woik! Ya gotta tidy up, y'know? Can't leave no evidence..."
  • "Ah-ah-ah! Not so tough without the jumps, are ya? Heh heh."
  • "WAAAAAAH!"
  • "Heh heh heh!"
  • "You two got some noive, bustin' up my precious, tailor-made dispenser like dat. It was worth a fortune, not to mention the senty-mental value! If dat's how you want it, I might as well DISPENSE wit' the pleasantries. Time to seal the deal, heh heh!"
  • "See what ya made me do? Ya got me breakin' out the doity tricks! All right. Let's wrap this up, eh? Heh heh heh!"
  • "Hey! I'm attackin' over here!"
  • "Hey, look at me! I'm on a ROLL! Now DAT'S what I call a stickup! Heh heh heh!"
  • "Hey! I'm acceleratin' here!"
  • "Think you can get da jump on ME, eh? I don't think so! STICK 'EM UP!"
  • "Aaah! It hoits! It HOITS! Don't do dis to me! I'm a changed adhesive! I won't stick nobody up no more, I swear! Boss! Olly! Ya gotta do somethin'! Ya gotta avenge me! I'm... I'm... Ehhhhh, fuhgeddaboudit."

Toad[edit]

  • "I'm so happy everything is back to normal."
  • "To all the origami... Thank you!"

Toad's BBQ Foodeatery caretaker[edit]

  • "That was too close for clam! I mean too clam for comfort."

Toad mechanic[edit]

  • “Whew! Thanks, buddy! Got myself in a real pickle there. I sure am glad you came along! And you WILL be glad you came along when you see the kind of value we're offering here today at Toad's Automoboots!”

Toad Researcher[edit]

  • "Sensational! You found me, Mario! This is perfect! I've finally found a suitable tester... See, I'm the head researcher here at the Sensor Lab. We develop technology capable of detecting all kinds of things that are otherwise difficult to see. Sensor tech is changing the world! We're breaking conventions and shifting all manner of paradigms!"
  • "Because you've shown an aptitude for Toad detection, I shall let you test our new creation...Toad Radar! With this little beauty, you can suss out hidden Toads without suffering even a single crease in your brow!"
  • "*ahem* Testing! One-two! One-two! Can you hear me, Mario? Let me walk you through a quick test of the Toad Radar."
  • "Can you feel the device on your head? As you may have guessed, that's the Toad Radar!"
  • "The dish will scan the area and react to any hidden Toads you may be facing."
  • "The closer you are to a potential Toad, the stronger the Toad Radar will react. When you think you've found one, try whacking nearby objects with your hammer to unfold the Toad!"
  • "This advanced level of detection uses a MASSIVE amount of power, so the battery will drain quite fast. No power, no Toad Radar. Got it? Keep an eye on your battery!"
  • "OK! That's enough explanation. Let's run some actual tests!"
  • "Amazing! It works! Thanks to you, our test was a total success."
  • "Oh. Oh dear. You ran out of power."
  • "Sensational. I've truly outdone myself this time... Ah! Mario! Join me in a little thought experiment, won't you? What if, rather than detect unseen objects...we were to create a device that makes YOU undetectable? You needn't wonder! Feast your eyes, while you can, upon...the Lamination Suit! Wearing this will make it easier for you to sneak by enemies! BOOM! Another paradigm shifted!"
  • "OK, Mario. Let's have you try the Lamination Suit on for size."
  • "Do you see? Or rather, do you NOT? The suit turned you transparent! Now you'll be able to sneak by your enemies undetected. It's a clear path to victory!"
  • "Be careful not to bump or brush against any foes. That would reveal your position! Enemies with sharpened senses will see right through this trick...rather than seeing right through you. Ha!"
  • "Just like the Toad Radar, the suit's battery will drain rather quickly. Keep an eye on your power!"
  • "Enough gabbing. Time to put this see-through suit to the test!"
  • "You made it through all of the tests! Nice work, Mario!"
  • "Ah! The Lamination Suit makes you invisible to Folded Soldiers, but touching them will give you away!"
  • "At long last...my opus is complete. My work has reached its zenith. My Hidden Block Unhider will turn nearby hidden blocks into regular, unhidden blocks! We've taken this paradigm and HURLED it into the lake of progress! BEGONE, PARADIGM!"
  • "Hop down that pipe and I'll give you a quick primer on how to work the [gadget]."
  • "I must say, that went exceedingly well. The Toad Radar didn't even explode this time! How lucky! All that remains before certification is a robust field test. Go out into the world, Mario! Use the Toad Radar to rescue some hapless, folded Toads!"
  • "Yet another explosion-free test! This may be our longest streak ever! We're free to advance to the field test for this item as well. As I mentioned in the test, more- powerful foes may still sense your presence. Be careful out there!"
  • "We have shifted every existing paradigm. A new era of superior sensory apparatus is dawning. You know what to do, Mario. Take this Hidden Block Unhider with you! Find every ? Block out there! Most importantly, if it explodes... do NOT tell anyone. I've already sent some rather boastful faxes."
  • "Are you ready to learn the secrets of the Hidden Block Unhider, Mario?"
  • "The device on your head looks familiar, doesn't it? The Hidden Block Unhider shares its design with the Toad Radar... and it's similar to operate!"
  • "The device will alert you if and when you're facing a hidden block..."
  • "As you get closer, it will give you stronger and stronger reactions. Try jumping right there, Mario."
  • "Aha! A hidden block has appeared! Welcome to the visible world, you slippery cube, you! When you know you're close, a simple jump or swing of your hammer should do the trick."
  • "Like our other devices, the battery is going to run out sooner or later. Just keep an eye on the meter!"
  • "OK! Let's hunt for some blocks!"
  • "Incredible job, Mario! There isn't a block in the world that can outwit you now!"
  • "When the battery runs out, you can use our proprietary device charger to juice it back up! However... Its use requires a MODEST donation. Power isn't cheap, and funding is hard to come by..."
  • "My work here is incomplete. There are paradigms yet unshifted, so... back to it!"
  • "Would you like to test the [gadget]?"
  • "Want to go one more round with the [gadget]? No rush!"
  • "Aha! I sensed you'd be back for more, Mario! Which of my creations would you like to test today?"
  • "I sensed...wrong? Oh, dear me. This will require some serious recalibration. If you change your mind, our doors are always open for testing!"
  • "Would you like to visit our satellite office at [location]?"
  • "Which satellite office would you like to visit?"
  • "Ah, I'm afraid that office is being unresponsive. Perhaps there's a paper jam on the other end?"
  • "Care for a refresher on how to use our Toad Radar?"
  • "Care for a refresher on how to use our Lamination Suit?"
  • "Care for a refresher on how to use our Hidden Block Unhider? "
  • "My work is finally complete. So...now what? I guess I could...find a new hobby? Maybe I'll learn how to fold origami..."
