Video games

Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong (Game Boy)

• "Help!"

Super Mario Odyssey

The Scourge on the Skyscraper

• "I'm sorry, but I really don't have time to chat right now. I need to figure out a way to save my city."
• "Things have been in utter chaos since that brutish monster showed up."
• "And he has the nerve to be advertising this wedding of his all over New Donk City?! A bit tasteless, if you ask me."

A Fresh Start for the City

• "New Donk City really means the world to me... I just can't thank you enough for all of your help, Mario!"
• "You really must join us for our upcoming festival! I'd love to show my gratitude to both you and the city with a surprise."
• "Do you think you could find me four backup musicians so I could do a small musical number? Something simple."
• (After recruiting one musician) "You were able to recruit a musician! This is so exciting - thank you!"
• "We still need three more for the festival. If you find anyone else, send 'em my way."
• (After recruiting two musicians) "That second musician just showed up! Wow! So this is looking like it might actually happen!"
• "I still need two more to put together a number for the festival. If you find any other musicians, send 'em my way."
• (After recruiting three musicians) "The preparations for the festival are all going smoothly, and it looks like you're actually putting together a band for us!"
• "We just need one more musician. Do you think you could get one more to join us?"
• (After recruiting all four musicians) "That's all the musicians we need - thanks! I am amazed at your persistence! You should consider running for public office!"
• "Now I just need to figure out this other problem... See, the underground power plant seems to be out of commission."
• "We need that thing to supply power to the festival. I don't suppose you're familiar with underground work, are you?"
• (After restoring the power) "Thank you, Mario! Now that you've, ahem, powered up the city, it's time for the festival to begin!"
• "Now we can finally kick off the festival in style and power! Shall we?"
• "Oh, hey! Would you like to participate in the festival? It's right up your alley!"
  • (After responding "Yes!") "Great! I know you'll do us proud!"

A Traditional Festival!

• "Thank you again, Mario! I'm dedicating this festival to you! We couldn't have done it without your help!"
• "Please accept this as a gift."
• (During replays of the festival) "Did you enjoy that trip down memory girder? Ready to return to the auditorium?"
  • (After responding "Let's-a go!") "Gotcha. Let's head back."
  • (After responding "Let's-a stay!") "Wonderful! I'm glad you're enjoying the festival as much as I'm enjoying singing!"

A Request from the Mayor

• "I've been waiting for you, Mario."
• "We heard all about your heroics in the Moon Kingdom. Truly a hero's hero."
• "You've come a long way since we met. I wonder if you'd like to learn a bit about me. Maybe in quiz form?"
  • (After declining the quiz at least once) "I'd love for you to learn a bit about me, Mario—will you take my quiz?"
  • (After responding "Maybe later...") "Oh. OK..."
• "Here we go... Question:"
• "What is my most treasured possession?"
  • (After responding "A purse.") "My purse? I lost that a long time ago, unfortunately."
  • (After responding "A hat.") "Yes! This hat is my favorite of all the things I own!"
  • (After responding "An umbrella.") "Really? I mean, I have one, but it's not something I think about much..."
• "What do you think my hobby is?"
  • (After responding "Going on walks.") "Correct! I love this city from one corner to another. I take walks to see it all!"
  • (After responding "Driving RC Cars.") "Machines and I have never gotten along... I've never even touched an RC Car."
  • (After responding "Flower arranging.") "Flowers are lovely, but I leave it to others to grow and arrange them!"
• "What do I plan to eat for dinner tonight?"
  • (After responding "Fried Mushrooms") "Correct! You're a mushroom fan as well, aren't you, Mario?"
  • (After responding "Leaf Salad") "That sounds kind of bitter—probably not my thing."
  • (After responding "Flower Stew") "Close! That's what I had for dinner last night!"
• "What do I just adore?"
  • (After responding "Machines.") "No. Machines and I have a mutual dislike."
  • (After responding "Cake.") "Correct! But it has to be GOOD cake - not the packaged stuff."
  • (After responding "Flowers.") "Actually, it's something a bit... sweeter than flowers. And it smells even better!"
• "Give me your honest opinion - how am I doing as mayor of this city?"
  • (After responding "OK, I guess...") "Hm. Well, I suppose the intricacies of municipal government aren't for everyone!"
  • (After responding "Badly.") "I did ask for your honest opinion... The best leaders accept all feedback."
  • (After responding "Fantastic!") "Why, thank you! I'll keep working as hard as I can to be a good leader for everyone."
• "What kingdom would I most like to visit right now?"
  • (After responding "Wooded Kingdom.") "As it happens, I'm bad with flowers AND machines, so the Wooded Kingdom is not my best option."
  • (After responding "Cloud Kingdom.") "Correct! I want to see clouds that go on forever!"
  • (After responding "Seaside Kingdom.") "I was actually just there, so I'm definitely going somewhere else next."
• "What am I bad with?"
  • (After responding "Festivals.") "I'm not even going to dignify that one with a reply."
  • (After responding "Fixing machines.") "Correct! Machines and I do not get along at all."
  • (After responding "Talking to people.") "If that was true, I could never be mayor!"
• "Which of these things did I actually do a long time ago?"
  • (After responding "Raised sheep.") "Sheep? I'm afraid not. It was something stranger... and more dangerous."
  • (After responding "Wore raccoon suit.") "A raccoon suit? No! Why in the world would someone wear such a thing?"
  • (After responding "Captured by ape.") "Correct! I knew you'd remember! It was traumatic at the time, but it helped make me the person I am now..."
• "What kind of music do I like?"
  • (After responding "You don't like music.") "But... I was singing... Did it seem like I wasn't enjoying it?"
  • (After responding "Relaxing music.") "Is that how I seem to you? I guess that's not a bad thing, but it's also not the answer."
  • (After responding "Peppy music.") "Correct! I like music that brings people together and gets them moving! That's my favorite."
• "What do I do on my days off?"
  • (After responding "Garden!") "I've never really gotten the hang of flowers and such, to be honest."
  • (After responding "Fix machines!") "I'm actually terrible with machines! The power station and I aren't even on speaking terms, haha!"
  • (After responding "Practice singing!") "Correct! I'm rehearsing to get ready for the next festival!"

• "Thanks for taking the time to chat."
• "It's good to catch up with old friends."
• "I guess I'm feeling sentimental - today is my birthday. Did you know that?"
• "No matter how old I get, I still get excited about presents!"
• "I see you have something in your hand there... Is that a purse? It's lovely!"
• "Is that a present for me? Wonderful!"
• "You figured out exactly what I wanted! I've been without a purse since I lost mine that terrible day..."
• "Please accept this in return!"
• "I'll be sure not to lose this one." (Talking to Pauline after getting the Power Moon from her)
