Luigi

• "Hey, Bro! Check it out! A letter from Princess Peach arrived for you!"
• "I'll just read it to you, how's that sound?"
• "Ahem! Now let's see here..."
• "What do you know? It's true! There's a weathered old map in here with the letter. Check it out!"
• "Well, hey, big brother! Fancy meeting you here! What a co-inky-dink!"
• "Eh? Who, me? Well, Bro, I'm on an adventure. I have to rescue Princess Eclair of the Waffle Kingdom. Yeah, it's a bad scene, all right. She's been kidnapped by the evil Chestnut King."
• "If you gotta know, I met with some Waffle Kingdom cabinet members the other day."
• "It was pretty crazy, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty long story..."
• "Well, I went to Rumblebump Volcano and got myself a Marvelous Compass piece! It was an incredible quest! There was danger, and all sorts of adventuring! It was pretty nutso, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty long story..."
• "Well, I got my second piece of the Marvelous Compass at Plumpbelly Village recently! Hoo, boy! I really got my hands dirty on that one, I'll tell you what! It was pretty wild, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty long story..."
• "Well, I headed to Circuit Break Island and got me a Marvelous Compass piece! You wouldn't believe it, Bro! Talk about thrills, chills, and spills! It was pretty nuts, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty long story..."
• "Well, I got another marvelous piece of that Marvelous Compass! At Jazzafrazz town, this time. Bro, I'm telling you, I turned adventuring into an art form on THAT little quest! Hoo! It was pretty nutty, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty long story..."
• "Hey, sounds good to me! Which part of my story you wanna hear, Bro?"
• "Well, like I said, it's a really long story, but here goes..."
• "If you wanna hear what I've been up to, just come find me, OK? I'll be around."
• "You go, Bro!"
• "Hey! That's awesome, Bro! Sounds like everyone's doing great over there!"

Waffle Kingdom Letter

• "My big brother--that's you, Bro--got a letter from Princess Peach and took off."
• "Left behind as usual, I was cooking a snack at home when another letter arrived."
• "We don't get so much mail, so I was thinking: 'Huh?' This is what the letter said: 'Sirs! My name is Crepe. I am a cabinet minister in the far-off Waffle Kingdom. Our land has been attacked by the Chestnut King, who took our Princess Eclair. I ask, nay, BEG for your assistance! The Waffle Kingdom needs your skills. I humbly request your prompt response, sirs. Sincerely, Crepe.' ...Well, I don't remember it exactly, but I think it went something like that."
• "With Mario--that's you, Bro--gone, it fell to me to answer this plea!"
• "Hesitating only a teensy bit, I headed to the Waffle Kingdom to investigate."
• "Oh, no, first I wrote a note to myself about what I was cooking. Then I left."
• "Once I reached the Waffle Kingdom, I met Minster Crepe, who filled me in."
• "The Chestnut King had kidnapped Princess Eclair and vanished."
• "Apparently, though, some oracle said a Marvelous Compass could locate her."
• "This Marvelous Compass had been broken into seven parts by an ancient curse...and those parts had been scattered across the land. Can you believe it, Bro?"
• "Each part of the Marvelous Compass was said to point to the next."
• "And since one of the parts had been embedded in the tiara worn by the princess... I surmised that once I collected all the parts, I'd find her! Smart, huh?"
• "The minister gave me the compass base spoken of in Waffler fables... When it activated, the entire thing lit right up, indicating the deep south... It was pointing me toward Rumblebump Volcano on the Pudding Continent!"
• "So, yeah, here I am! I'm sailing out of Rogueport for Rumblebump Volcano."
• "It's probably gonna be pretty dangerous, but... I gotta rescue that princess!"

Rumblebump Volcano

• "As soon as my ship docked on the Pudding Continent, I set out for the volcano."
• "To reach my destination, I spent several days fording through dense jungle..."
• "Scary beasts were all over! More than once, I thought I was done for, Bro!"
• "I may have screamed a bit. To scare them off, you know. But as fate would have it..."
• "A Blooper named Blooey heard me shrieking and found me in this one town."
• "Blooey was on a journey of his own, but he joined me after hearing my tale."
• "Now, Blooey's a madman. Back in his hometown, they call him 'White Torpedo'!"
• "Yeah, he's a tough guy. Anyway, he helped me fight to Rumblebump Volcano."
• "This place was all about bubbling lava pools and heat that'd make the sun sweat."
• "AND, the place was lousy with evil traps designed to protect the compass piece."
• "the scariest one of all was this gigantic, 100-foot-tall statue that stomped around."
• "Now, the weakness of this giant statue, Bro, was a red gem on its forehead..."
• "Now, I can jump high, but not high enough to reach this thing by a long shot."
• "So I came up with this plan for Blooey to hit that weak spot! 'All you, man!' I said!"
• "I waited for a pause in the statue's movements and hucked Blooey up there!"
• "And bull's-eye! The White Torpedo saved the day! That jewel got whacked!"
• "It was a critical hit, and that stone statue toppled and crumbled into pieces!"
• "Once that was done, it was an easy stroll to the room where the treasure was."
• "Unfortunately, Princess Eclair was nowhere to be found..."
• "But I got another piece of the Marvelous Compass, and put it in the base..."
• "Now the compass pointed west, to Plumpbelly Village on the Strudel Continent."
• "So I set sail once again and came back here to Rogueport to recharge."
• "That's what happened to me lately, but I'll be heading back out soon..."

Plumpbelly Village

• "Once we made landfall on the Strudel Continent, we made for Plumpbelly Village."
• "Once we got there, though, we immediately noticed that something was wrong."
• "We learned from the mayor that the town was ruled by a giant snake named Hizza!"
• "He said his own daughter was gonna be offered up as a sacrifice to this beast, too!"
• "So, of course, being heroic, I offered myself up to go in her stead! Brave, huh?"
• "Now, the custom was for sacrifices to be dressed as brides, so I got all dolled up..."
• "I was one hot sacrifice, Bro. I looked so good, I fooled our foes and got in Hizza's lair."
• "It was kind of rough fighting in that gown, but I managed. Chiffon really chafes, Bro!"
• "I finally found Hizza...and the snake had a second head on his tail! Talk about scary!"
• "I fainted real quick, but when I came to, I managed to distract both heads..."
• "It reared up, fangs bared to attack, and at that moment, I deftly lunged left!"
• "His gaping mouths smashed into one another...and he vanished in a cloud of smoke!"
• "A shining plate fell down on the spot where Hizza's body had been coiled..."
• "Yes! Another compass piece! I set it, and it pointed east, to Circuit Break Island!"
• "Just as I was about to leave town, the mayor asked me to stay and marry his daughter."
• "I thought about it--she was sorta cute--but we ended up sneaking off the next morning."
• "I mean, I still have to rescue Princess Éclair from the Chestnut King!"
• "And...when the Marvelous Compass activated this time, I heard somebody's voice."
• "It was so beautiful, Bro... I'm certain it was Princess Eclair's voice!"
• "My heart began to race! That's when I realized it: Princess Éclair... I think I..."
• "Oh! I kinda zoned out there. Umm... So, yeah. We set sail again after ditching town..."
• "And somehow we managed to get back here to Rogueport. And here I am!"

Circuit Break Island

• "Just as our boat arrived at Circuit Break Island, we heard this incredible racket!"
• "We soon found out that they hold kart races almost every day on the island."
• "Whoever takes first place gets to rule the island as king for that day."
• "Just as we got to the race track, they were holding the awards ceremony..."
• "I couldn't believe my eye! Right there, on the trophy they give to the winner..."
• "It was another piece of the Marvelous Compass! I almost passed dead away!"
• "I decided right then and there that the only thing to do was enter the next race."
• "I mean, I've driven in kart races before, so I'd thought I'd be OK. Boy, was I wrong."
• "The karts were supercharged machines that could send you airborne with their exhaust!"
• "These vehicles were armed with missiles and bazookas... It was 'anything goes,' Bro!"
• "Of course, I wanted to get out of there, pronto! These drivers were crazed!"
• "But I worked up my courage and signed up anyway. And my race day finally came..."
• "I got one of the best karts: the Big Green 01! I took my position at the start line..."
• "The light went green, I stomped the accelerator... and something bad happened."
• "I was in reverse! The Big Green 01 went rocketing backwards with me yelling..."
• "I crashed into the wall behind me hard enough to cut me off midscream."
• "In one fell swoop, I dropped into last place and wrecked my racing machine..."
• "But it wasn't all bad news: all the other karts crashed because of my maneuver..."
• "Once I got in gear and took off, I was the only car left! I won by a country mile, Bro!"
• "I took the piece off my trophy and added it to the Marvelous Compass..."
• "The compass came to life and pointed me toward Jazzafrazz Town in the east!"
• "Then I heard that voice! Princess Eclair's voice echoed in my ears again!"
• "Oh, my princess! Random words would form poetry if spoken by your voice!"
• "I will most definitely save you! Just wait for me! Princess Eclair!!!"
• "Oh! Sorry about that, Bro... Umm... So, after that, I got back on my boat..."
• "And came back here to Rogueport. And that's what's been up with me."

Jazzafrazz Town

• "As soon as we hit Jazzafrazzz Town, we were overcome by the glitz and the glamour."
• "It's a very lively place, Bro. Tons of Dayzees live there, and they're always smiling."
• "While looking for the piece of compass, I met a hip Dayzee named Hayzee."
• "Hayzee was a producer, and he was looking for actors to go on stage with him."
• "I told him we couldn't, since we were looking for the compass part, you know."
• "But Hayzee said we could WIN the compass part in the upcoming Drama Slam!"
• "He said the so-called Dramalamma Plaque might, in fact, be one of the parts!"
• "Well, we just had to give it a try, so we rehearsed with the cast and hit the stage!"
• "Our musical was called 'The Mystery of the Fiery Hat of Social Awareness."
• "The script was great, but I got really hosed, Bro... My 'role'... My 'part'..."
• "...Was grass! I played grass by the side of the road! Grass, Bro! Grass!"
• "I just sprawled out on the ground and had to be silent. Everyone but me had lines..."
• "I don't care if I was wearing green! Who casts someone based on that? It was awful!"
• "In the end, our musical was the talk of the town, and we won the Drama Slam."
• "I got the compass part I was after, but even that didn't make me very happy."
• "The huge after-party just bummed me out more, so I snuck out of the back door."
• "But WOW! Outside were a ton of fans! MY fans! fans of grass! They swarmed me!"
• "I just couldn't believe it! Imagine! Cheering for grass! I was estatic, Bro!"
• "After that I added the piece to the Marvelous Compass, which pointed north."
• "It pointed to the Rapturous Ruins in Grimble Forest. Then... The voice again..."
• "Oh my cherished Princess Eclair! How you soothe me! I would be grass for you..."
• "I will find you! I will reach you! I will stand by your side and be your Luigi!"
• "Wow. Sorry about that, Bro. Umm... So, yeah, anyway... Then I got back on my boat."
• "I came back to Rogueport, and here I am, another leg of my adventure completed!"

Rapturous Ruins

• "After journeying deep into the Grimble Forest, I found the domed Rapturous Ruins."
• "Inside, everything was pure white. You couldn't tell where the floor became walls..."
• "Proceeding dead ahead, I found myself in a chamber where a young boy sat."
• "As I approached the boy, someone named Screamy appeared out of nowhere!"
• "Screamy said the boy's name was Cranberry, and that he'd wake for a child of fate."
• "That didn't make any sense to me, so I started searching quietly for the compass piece."
• "But then it happened, Bro: I got a tiny tickle in my nose, and I let out a huge sneeze!"
• "Well, Cranberry must've heard it, 'cause he opened his eyes right up!"
• "He looked at me and smiled. And all of a sudden, I could understand his language!"
• "Can you believe it? I learned that the boy was the last of an ancient race, the Luffs..."
• "He had been there guarding the Marvelous Compass piece for the last thousand years!"
• "He told me that the compass is an item with the power to see into the future..."
• "The ancient Luff empire used the power of the compass to rule much of the world."
• "Because of their greed, they were cursed by the compass, and their empire collapsed."
• "To prevent a repeat of their fate, Cranberry broke the compass into seven parts."
• "He hid six and kept one, putting himself to sleep until a worthy hero woke him."
• "I WAS that hero, Bro! He gave it to me, and then he and the ruins vanished..."
• "When I added that piece to the compass..."
• "It pointed to the far north, where Dreaded Hatesong Tower stands."
• "This time, I heard Princess Eclair's voice more clearly than ever before!"
• "I will rescue the Princess! I will be super! And then I'll... I'll... I'll..."
• "Well, I'll figure the rest out later. Anyway, I headed back here to Rogueport after that."
• "I'm making my final preparations for my final battle now."
• "I'm a little nervous, Bro. But that's what I've been up to, anyway!"

Hatesong Tower

• "Hatesong Tower stands atop a jagged, unclimbable cliff beyond the northernmost sea."
• "The winds whistle down the cliff, howling like banshees singing songs of hate..."
• "People say it's pretty much the scariest place in the world. And I had to go there."
• "Blocking out the bone-chilling howls, I somehow managed to reach the tower's door."
• "I was terrified, but thoughts of Princess Éclair warmed my heart and gave me power."
• "All of my companions felt the same way. They were with me to the bitter end."
• "The door to the tower swung slowly open to reveal an inconceivable darkness..."
• "I tried to call out Princess Eclair's name, but I couldn't even breathe because..."
• "As I strained my eyes in the darkness, I saw the most terrifying beast of all!"
• "The Chestnut King himself appeared before me! He was monstrous and drooling!"
• "Puddles of toxic goo dripped from his mouth, melting the very ground at our feet!"
• "I couldn't stop shaking, but I gritted my teeth and faced the evil beast dead-on!"
• "I dodged the king's fangs, jumped onto his chest, and gave him a hammer-whack!"
• "My swing split the air and crashed dead-center onto the Chestnut King's skull!"
• "Hope powered me up, Bro! I was going toe-to-toe with the king, and I was loving it!"
• "'This is it' I thought! I can win this! I'll risk it all on my next blow!"
• "I gripped my hammer tight and waited for my moment... The tension stung me..."
• "SHHHHHWHAAAAACK! The ocean winds raged against the tower windows!"
• "With that sound as my call to battle, I advanced with no mercy in my heart!"
• "And then... And then... I beat him. I defeated the Chestnut King."
• "An even worse beast came next, a nightmare thing... but I beat it too."
• "I rescued Princess Éclair It was all over."
• "And then I came back to Rogueport and had a light lunch. And that's about it."

• "Oh, badness... Now poor Freddy got turned into a pig... Not good."
• "I'm the mayor of this poor town. Some call me Dour. I'm not exactly the sharpest fellow, but I do believe you're adventurers, right? This isn't the place for the telling of tales, sadly. Come. Come to my home."
• "My traveling friends... Welcome to Twilight Town. Well, I'd LIKE to welcome you... But "welcoming" people is generally a good thing, and it's nothing but bad here."
• "As you may have guessed...our town has been cursed."
• "Yes, cursed. That is the right word, right? Yes, of course it is. You see... Beyond town is a forest, and in its heart is an ancient building, the Creepy Steeple. The dark creature who lives there... Its curse ordains that when the steeple bell rings... One of the Twilighters living here in the village...becomes a pig."
• "Will my loved ones become swine? Will I, too, become a curly-tailed oinker? I'm so worried, I can't sleep at night. Of course, night and day are pretty similar here... If this keeps up...well...the village will be one giant pigpen. Which would be bad. Let me give you some advice. Leave us! Leave before you, too, get...piggified!"
• "Uh... I don't know about any Crystal Star thing...but in Creepy Steeple... There's a glittery red stone shaped like a star..."
• "Uh... You people... You aren't thinking of going to Creepy Steeple, are you?!? Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Unthinkable..."
• "I can't believe it was a fake Mario all that time... So we were all fooled... I'm so sorry, Mario... After all you've done for our town... Did we hurt your feelings?"
  • (Maybe a little...)
• "... Er... Well, all right, it's OK to be in touch with your. So then! You've brought a shining ray of light to our dim little town! Twilight Town thanks you!"
  • (Nah, not really.)
• "You're a bigger man than I, Mario! Such fortitude! You're a true hero! You've brought a shining ray of light to our dim little town! Twilight Town thanks you!"
• "Please come back to visit anytime you like!"

Mayor Kroop

• "Hmph? Whuzzat? Someone there? Who is it? WHO?!? What do you want from me? I know! You're thieves! Here to rob a defenseless old Koopa! Despicable!"
• "Go on, do what you will...but as you can plainly see, there's nothing to steal here. Oh, I guess I have a little money... Take it, you fiends. And my antique shell, too. Just leave the photos of me and the missus. Can't do without those memories..."
• "What? Not thieves, you say? Well, what's your story, then? Oh, wait... You folks looking for Crystal Stars?"
• "Well, why didn't you pipe up before, you ijit! We're just wasting time, here!"
• "The Crystal Stars you say you're hunting... Errrmm... Wait... What did I hear about those dang things, again?"
• "Aha! Got it! Hooktail! Hooktail's got what you're looking for! It's (GCN) / She's (Switch) this enormous, ornery dragon. Eats folks, they say. You know Hooktail, right?"
• "Well, this Hooktail's brutal fly-by snackings have all of us on pins and needles. So, are you reckless fools... I mean... Are you gallant heroes off to rough it (GCN) / her (Switch) up?"
• "This DOES sound promising!"
• "Why, if you can rid us of Hooktail, we'll shower you with gratitude and rewards. Wait, what's that I hear? You'll accept no rewards?"
• "What an unselfish man! You're noble, indeed... Yup, a good egg. Now... What did you say your name was, again?"
• "...Murphy? Hmm... That's a fine name. Yes, a fine name, indeed. Well now, Murphy..."
• "I appreciate that, Murphy! They ARE nice eyebrows."
• "Now, listen up. If you're intent on going to Hooktail's castle, find the secret pipe near this village. I don't know where it's at, but I know you need stone keys to use that pipe. The keys are somewhere in Shhwonk Fortress, just past the village. Get them first."
• "Well then, Murphy... Get going and take care of that Hooktail monster!"
• "Ahem... May I just add... If anything happens, you can always come home, Koops. Don't you ever forget that. This village will always be your home."
• "Oops! I forgot to set out the tea! Aren't I an old ninny? My apologies. In fact, I haven't even added the hot water part. Awful sorry. ...At least I THOUGHT you could, but it looks like you can't carry anything else. I'll leave it here for you, so you can come get it anytime you like, OK?"
• "Hmmm, now?"
• "What's this shiny thing?"
• "...I wonder, kids, if this is related to the sky getting all dark and whatnot..."
• "Uh... Er... Whuh... Hmmm... Umm... Wh-What's going on?"

McGoomba

• "You never know who'll be watching, so let's do this thing quick."
• "Take this package to Goomfrey. You'll find him in front of Frankly's place."
• "And try not to be seen."
• "Did you deliver it? Phew! You saved my neck, buddy."
• "Oh! I almost forgot your compensation. You saved my neck. You get something good."
• "What? I'm not wanted by anybody? ...Really?"
• "What? You're saying I don't have to keep it secret? Are you nuts? You don't know who I am! I'm such a huge thief, I once robbed Bowser himself!"
• "What? You want to know what I did that made me come here to hide out? Wh-Why? It's not like I stole money from my parents and got kicked out or anything!"
• "Boy, I'm here for just the stupidest reason... I mean, who lives like this? I'm gonna quit being a thief and apologize to my parents. It's better to be a good kid..."

Mr. Hoggle

• "No! Bad! So very bad! Behave yourself, egg!"
• "No! Bad! Come back! Help! My important egg escaped! Somebody, catch it!"
• "So bad! It does not even have arms and legs, and still I cannot catch it!"
• "My menu was going to have the Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness, but now... Bad!"
• "I ordered that naughty egg from an island in the south! I had to pay shipping, too!"
• 'Don't just stand there! Help catch it!!!"
• "MOST AWFULLY BAD!"
• "Come down from there, egg! How am I supposed to get it now? FLY there?!?"
• "You! Don't just stand there with your mustache! Find a way to get up there!"
• "Aww... Fine. Most people don't like eating stuff that jumps all over the place, anyway."

Ms. Mowz

• "Huh? Oh, my! Who's this handsome piece of cheese?"
• "I can't believe there are other thieves here besides me. How very strange..."
• "Me? Why, I'm Ms. Mowz, the globe-trotting thief! Heard of me, sweetie? ♡"
• "I heard there were rare and valuable badges here in this castle. That's why I'm here."
• "But the real question is...why are people like YOU roaming in such a run-down place?"
• "Crystal Star, you say? Mmmm hmm hmm!"
• "I didn't know a thing like THAT was hidden in this castle... Sounds intriguing!"
• "Perhaps I just heard something you didn't want me hearing? Mmm hmm hmm hmm!"
• "Oh, but that's OK... I mean, you were looking for this Crystal Star first..."
• "And I already found the badge I was after, so I'll let you get your Crystal Star. ♡"
• "Mmmm hmm hmm hmm! ♡ It means I must say bye-bye for now, Mr. Cutie."
• "I know. It's sad. We just met, and already it is time to say farewell. Alas... ♡"
• "Oh, I almost forgot... I have a little secret to share with you. ♡"
• "Somewhere in this castle is a badge that'll help you best Hooktail, or so I've heard."
• "I don't know what kind of badge it is. Maybe you found it already, maybe not."
• "If you're going to fight Hooktail, I'd recommend finding that badge first."
• "Well, take care, handsome mustache man! Let's get together again real soon!"
• "We must move quickly, love. Let's go to the professor's office, quick as a wink! We have to speak to him of Princess Peach's e-mail."
• "Well, we're waiting, Professor. What did you find out?"
• "You strange, strange man. What did THAT mean?"
• "Well, the way I see it, it may be entirely the wrong idea to collect these things. Why, someone could just steal all the Crystal Stars from us and resurrect that demon! I feel as though the best course of action might be to destroy them utterly."
• "Oh, my! I suppose we'd better shake our tails and find the other Crystal Stars! Tell me, Professor, where is the next one located?"
• "Keelhaul Key?"
• "Don't be so coy, Admiral! We've already found out your identity!"
• "But… Don't be like that! We truly need your help, can't you see that? Without you, we'll surely meet our ends on the way to Keelhaul Key!"
• "Mmmm… Your thoughts, Mario? We don't seem to be getting anywhere with this man."
• "I can't help but wonder… What could turn such a man against the sea? I think our only option is to ask around and see if anyone knows his tale."
• "Why must romance so often end in tragedy? Why?!? I see why he won't sail…"
• "Thank you, Podley. That had to hurt you to admit… We'll deliver the letter. Let's go, Mario."
• "Admiral Bobbery!!! Excellent!"
• "'You out there in front of the TV'? I think that man might have the sea madness."
• "Mmmmm… Mario, sweetie? I believe Bobbery may just be sleeping… Yes, in fact, I'm positive. And after all that worrying… Smack him awake, sweetie!"
• "Bobbery… He's not quite up to speed, I don't think…"
• "Such melodrama… You're still alive, dearie."
• "Mario, dearie… I think that Flavio's gem might be just the thing for that eyehole…"
• "Mmmm… Is he actually on our side, do you think?"
• "There's that terrible voice again… I'd say those ghosts are probably nearby…"
• "Oh, I'm sure they'll be completely fine here… Let's go, Mario."
• "Mario… I think the time is right for us to head for the door, don't you think?"
• "Do you hear that, sweetie? Your captured princess must be e-mailing you."
• "My, my, my! The princess is quite capable, isn't she? We've work to do, too!"
• "OK, then! Now we must go see Professor Frankly."
• "Hey… Isn't that place simply BURSTING with the rich and famous? Excellent."
• "Well? Don't tease us, Professor. How do we get there from here?"
• "You know, I had heard that one must be rich or famous to ride the Excess Express…"
• "Oh, I do NOT think that's a good idea! Do you know him? He is NOT one to mess with! …Ah, well. If we have to, then I'm in, but it could get ugly. Come on, Mario. Let's go."
• "You mean that cutie Frankie and that darling Francesca? They were on Keelhaul Key!"
• "Do you think these two can really make it on their own, dearie? Personally, I don't think so. Yes, we should help them…"
• "Lovely! Next stop, Poshley Heights! Marvelous! I've begun to think we should find that sixth Crystal Star as fast as we can…"
• "Oh, my! You're Beldam!"
• "We'd better move, Mario! If she gets to Poshley Heights before we do… Quickly! To Rogueport Station!"
• "Mmmm…the Excess Express! Now this is what I call traveling in style! The three days to Poshley Heights will be over before we know it, dearie!"
• "Mmmmm? There's something on the floor… Trash, perhaps? When did that get there?"
• "Mm… What a strange threat… Do you think that Beldam woman might be behind it? Well, at any rate, the fact that the note is here means the culprit is on the train. We must find this ne'er-do-well before he or she can hatch a plan!"
• "Oh, hang on! This looks like spilled stew on the carpet! How marvelous! We can just follow the drops to the thief! It might even be the same person that wrote the sticky, yummy threat, dearie! …What makes me say that? It takes a thief to find a thief, sweetie!"
• "All right, dearie, let's turn in, shall we? The conductor can handle any problems."
• "This document is just like the other one! The suspect must be in here somewhere…"
• "Mario, dearie! What are THESE things?!?"
• "Do you think these little beasts flipped the switch? Let's hurry up and find it so we can switch it back!"
• "Mmm, the beginning of a new day… And such a cool and brisk morning, as well!"
• "Hey, aren't those the things from the station yesterday? They must've stowed away!"
• "Oh, no, they've gotten inside the train! We have to take them out!"
• "What IS that vile thing? …Oh, no! Mario, look! It's got the other passengers!"
• "We're finally here, dearie! Let's waste no time, hmmmm? Let's find Poshley Sanctum, as Frankly recommended."
• "Hmm… Should I just jimmy the lock, dearie?"
• "Hmmmm? You live here? So YOU'RE the Sanctum Manager? Oh, my… I thought you were a detective!"
• "Oh, dear! We're too late!!! We'd better go after them!"
• "Mario! Is that an e-mail from your princess?"
• "Mmmm… The moon, is it? Peach is on the moon? Sounds intriguing! But why is her e-mail cut off? You don't think…something's happened to her…do you?"
• "Oooh, it's so chilly… I wonder where this place is."
• "My, my, what's this now? The last Crystal Star… It can't possibly be there…"
• "The moon?!? Isn't the princess trapped there, too? Something about this doesn't seem right…"
• "We're using a CANNON to get to the moon? Whatever you say, darling…"
• "Well, where is this Fahr Outpost, Professor?"
• "An Ultra Hammer? But, sweetie, we've already got one of those!"
• "No problem at all, sweetie! Fahr Outpost, it is!"
• "So, this is Fahr Outpost… I don't see any cannon that can shoot to the moon… I guess we should start by chatting with the villagers, don't you think?"
• "We did it, sweetie!"
• "AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
• "Oh, my! That was quite fun! I can't say I ever thought I'd take a ride like THAT!"
• "Well, here we are, on the moon, dearie! Are you ready? Then let's find the last Crystal Star and save Peach!"
• "This building smells suspicious. Let's be careful, dearie!"
• "Mario! These X-Naut soldiers running around means… Yes, I'm positive! The Crystal Star must be here, too!"
• "Peach must be here, too! Let's find her, dearie!"
• "Where are we, anyway?"
• "We're underneath Rogueport! The X-Nauts used that thing to come here from the moon!"
• "You! Been waiting, have you? And what does THAT mean?"
• "So Peach WAS here! Where did you take her, you awful man?!?"
• "Don't kid yourself, dearie!"
• "Mario!"
• "We've finally got all seven Crystal Stars! Fantastic! Now we can open the Thousand-Year Door! Mmm, but…"
• "We still don't know where Peach is…"
• "Well, let's head back to Rogueport, dearie. Perhaps the professor can help us find Princess Peach."
• "Where are we now?"
• "Peach is in the Palace of Shadow?"
• "But…what'll happen to you?"
• "…We understand, TEC."
• "Mario! We have to save Peach…for TEC, too!"
• "Hmmm… Did you hear that?"
• "She was, yes…but the X-Naut boss took her and went to the Thousand-Year Door…"
• "Ex-CUSE me? Without the seventh Crystal Star, that door should never have opened!"
• "Hmm! Look! The door!!!"
• "I'm with you, Mario!!!"
• "What an unpleasant place… but we don't have a choice in the matter! We have to get in there and save Peach before this gets any more out of hand! Let's go, dearie!"
• "AAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIII!"
• "Mmm… We get out of one odd room just to find another… It's so huge…like an underground city, almost… What IS this place?"
• "Isn't that Hooktail, dearie? I thought you beat Hooktail… What's it (GCN) / she (Switch) doing here???"
• "Mario! Look at that!"
• "It's so big…but what is it?"
• "My! It's moving!"
• "Huh? What?!?"
• "What was that?"
• "What?!? Professor Frankly?!? What are YOU doing here?!?"
• "Opening the door for you? What do you mean by THAT, you awful thing?"
• "Oh, I think YOU'RE the ones who will be smarting after this! Let's finish it!"
• "Let's leave these idiots, Mario..."
• "This room gives me a very bad feeling, dearie. What IS this chamber?"
• "So, this fellow is the leader of those X-Nauts?"
• "No! So the last Crystal Star we found on the moon… We were so blind!"
• "Be careful, dearie! He looks tough!"
• "We'll never let that happen!"
• "Mm?"
• "Princess Peach?!?"
• "You wouldn't!"
• "What do we do, Mario? I don't like our chances if we don't attack him…"
• "What? This isn't very fair! All this and Bowser, too?!?"
• "Phew… That was too close. At least we've got that thorn pulled out of our sides. Now…let's save Peach!"
• "What?!? Where's Grodus?!?"
• "That was Peach!"
• "What's going on here?!?"
• "Possess Peach?!?"
• "P-Peach…"
• "Wh-What's going on, Mario?"
• "Who does this witch think she is? Mario is no pawn of evil! Ridiculous! Right, Mario?"
• "Mario, you've been through a lot to get here… You've worked miracles in that time… So keep your magic going here… Mario, my sweet! Muster your courage and defeat the Shadow Queen!"
• "Mario, what should we do? We could be finished…"
• "Why are we even talking about this? NEVER!"
• "The Crystal Stars? Ahhhh!!!"
• "Is that…"
• "Can you hear them, Mario? So many voices…"
• "They're… They're all sending us their wishes and positive energy… That's so nice…"
• "Mario! Look at THAT!!!"
• "That voice… Princess Peach?!?"
• "What… What IS this? I feel completely full of powerful energy now…"
• "PEACH!!!"
• "Mario! This is it, dearie! We're almost through!"
• "Now we're in business! Get ready to pay!"
• "Princess Peach!"
• "Mario! Come here!"
• "Princess Peach is A-OK! She's not even hurt!"
• "Don't fret, Peach! It wasn't too much trouble…"
• "Oh, Professor…"
• "It is time for us to part, my little cheese hunk. But I will not say farewell, because you're welcome here anytime you please, sweetie! Until then... adieu."
• "Mmm hmm hmm! It means I must say bye bye for now Mr. Cutie. I know. It's sad. We just met. But for now, farewell!"
• "Mmmm… I'd stay out of dark alleys for a little while if I were you…"
• "My! What a crab!"
• "You look a bit weak to be fighting us... Mmm hmm hmm!"
• "Well, what did you expect?"

Pa-Patch

• "Oy, Flavio!"
• "Heard you talkin' there, sir! If you don't mind me sayin'... I might 'ave a solution..."
• "Well, sir, I've 'eard talk of a famed... No! A LEGENDARY sailor livin' in Rogueport. Yeah, I think he's called Admiral Bobbery... A salty sea dog, by all accounts... But...he's said to 'ave the Helmsman's Touch, sir: he can make any ship bow to his will. Thing is, there ain't a soul wot's seen him on the seas of late..."
• "Great. He's started again. A "tale of bravery", right? I heard this one yesterday..."
• "There's nowhere to escape to... We just have to listen until he's finished... Yeah, if you interrupt him midstory, he absolutely loses it, too... ...Uh, why is the ...What? Wait, what's going on here? The ship's stopping."
• "Oy! Master Flavio! Awful sorry to interrupt that wicked story... But the ship's stopped..."

• "Oy! I ain't lettin' ol' Flavio Fancy-Pants hog the glory! Come on, Captain 'Stache!"
• "Yeah, I'm gonna stay here. It's a right nice place to live wifout any ghosts, eh?"
• "General White? Yeah, he was 'ere until a second ago. But he took off, right quick. Said he was goin' to an arena, or somefin'..."

Paragoomba

• "Wassup, baby? Why don't you hang with us for a while? We play real nice!"
• "Typical! You surface-level snobs are so stuck-up. "OoOoh, I get to see the sun! I like to breathe clean air! OoOoh!""
• "What, you're too good for us? Come off it, sister!"
• "What, you're too good for a fight?! If you ain't lookin' to tussle, then stay out of the sewer!"

Parakarry

• "Mail call!"

Parrot

• "Skrawk? What happened to those weirdos who were just here? Ah, whatever... It was almost nice to have some company... I mean, no matter how important it is that no one know[s] his real name... Locking me up in here just because I know it... And making me guard the name's stupid missing letter... No way to treat a parrot! I REALLY want a cracker... Doopliss, you're a big meanie. When's feeding time, huh?"
• "Skra-WAAAAAAAAAARK?!? Uh... Pretty bird! Pretty bird!"
• "Man, am I tired of this stupid parrot babble act... It's so demeaning. And guarding this dumb letter here... I should report that Doopliss to the proper authorities...unless he gives me a cracker."
• "Shine get! Shine get!"

Pennington

• "Rudimentary, my dear Luigi!"
• "No need for introductions. I know all about the famous Luigi!"
• "We could have questioned him about all that Beldam business..."
• "Ah, it is my dear Luigi! What are you doing at my doorstep, young fellow?"
• "Well, yes... That is more like a hobby of mine, if the truth must be told."
• "But enough chatter, hm? Shall we go inside?"
• "Just a second there, Luigi! Exactly WHAT is going on here? Speak quickly!"
• "Hm, yes, quite rudimentary... So you were looking for the Crystal Star in this sanctum..."
• "Ohohohohohohohohohoho! Yes, very interesting..."
• "Well, no cause for worry! The Crystal Star is safe! Yes, quite safe, indeed!"
• "The stone that our rude friends stole was fortunately a red herring! A fake!"
• "The real one is hidden somewhere in this sanctum to prevent such a theft!"
• "However... As to the location of the real Crystal Star..."
• "Well, as Sanctum Manager, I am, of course, prohibited from telling anyone..."
• "However...I do know where it is! Of that you can be most certain! Yes, indeed!"
• "Besides, I am sure a junior detective like yourself can could find it on your own!"
• "Now, Luigi! Put to use all of the razor-sharp sleuthing skills I have taught you! Make me proud!"
• "Hm... So that is where it was..."
• "Oh, er, nothing! NOTHING! Just talking to my brain. All genuises do it."
• "Congratulations, Luigi! You have found the real Crystal Star!"
• "So please, feel free to take it... I will just put another fake one over here..."
• "Well, traveling with you has been rather hectic, but I do admit, rather fun, as well!"
• "I am sure you still a long road ahead, Luigi, but do not give up!"
• "I do believe I will miss you when you are gone, Luigi."
• "Oh, and, Luigi... Please give my regards to your dear brother!"
• "You there! I have you now, villains! You...are common thieves! Aren't you? AREN'T YOU???"
• "My eyes never deceive!"
• "…Uh-oh. B-Bowser, you say? Remorseless King of… What was that last bit, again? Yes, well, no matter! Hmm… Yes… Yes… I… So I deduced! Ahem! Then listen well! That Crystal Star is actually a veritable red herring! Yes! An imposter!"
• "What? The Shadow Thief?!? I knew this had the scent of no mere burglary!!! Ha! You've been hornswoggled, Shadow Thief...for that is a red herring! A fake!"
• "I see… Unfortunately for you… that's a red herring. Yes, a fake. If you want it, it's yours."
• "If you must know, I gave the real one to Luigi! Ohhhhh ho ho ho ho ho!"
• "...Will you, now? Luigi! Well done, lad! Way to not fail! ...Yet."
• "M–Mario?? G–Gonzales?? Not... L–Luigi??"
• "Luigi... Er, no, rather... I mean M–Mario... How are you, dear boy?"

Petuni

• "...Big brother?!? Is that my Punio?"
• "I knew you'd come for me, Punio! I just KNEW it!"
• "OK!"
• "Big brother! You came!"
• "OK, big brother! I'll be waiting."
• "It's a mushroom..."
• "Yeah, Yeah, I know... I picked it so I could give it to my brother to eat. But then I got captured and stuck in here, and after a few days it dried out..."
• "Big brother!!!"
• "Nope! I'm fine!"
• "Hey, Big brother... I have something for you!"
• "I meant to give this to you sooner, but..."
• " Mushrooms are your favorite, aren't they, big brother? But... Well this one kinda got dried out..."
• "Big brother... It was icky, wasn't it?"
• "I'm sorry."
• "Big brother? You OK?"
• "Hey, quit it, Punio! C'mon! Don't get all mushy! Everyone's staring!"
• "...Aw, it was nothing!"
• "Eek! Y-You're scary, Mister Giant Bad-Breath Monster!"
• "Brother!!! Mario's in trouble! That's what the Crystal Star is here to tell us! I just KNOW it!"
• "Mario! Flurrie! C'mon! Don't give up!"
• "...B-Brother?"
• "Take these with you!"
• "These are VERY fresh Mushrooms!"

Pierre

• "If you've come all the way here, you must've seen some serious, dangerous action. That's good. Danger's good. Believe me, I know."
• "Who, me? My name's Pierre. I'm what's technically called a "completely awesome thief." I used to work as a geologist researching the rocks under town, but it paid NOTHING. That's when Ishnail, th
