Character	Quotes	Goombario's Tattle
A Boo who guards a treasure chest containing the Weight in the west room on the second floor. Disappears after Mario obtains the Weight.	"I am so bored!! Boo-ored! I know the Lady Bow ordered me to stay here... ...but for how long?" "Oh yeah, such rhythm! What a groove! Par-tay!" "Oh Boo! Is that...the end? I was just starting to bust out my best dance moves." "Oh! Noooo... Lady Bow gave me one job...to guard that treasure chest. She is gonna punish me so bad if she finds out about this! Oh...well... I may still be OK. Heh heh heh heh... It's not like you can get anywhere without knowing how to use that Weight."	"This Boo is guarding a treasure chest. Bow told him to, I guess. She must be pretty scary to command such obedience! Say, don't you think that Boos have the funniest expressions?"
A Boo who appears after Mario obtains the Super Boots. He will tell Mario how to reveal the Star Pieces under hidden panels with the Super Boots.	"There's a hidden floor panel very near here. A Star Piece is underneath the floor panel. Press while jumping. Boo-st of luck! Can you find it?" "There are hidden panels on the ground all over Mushroom World, so keep an eye out for them."	"This Boo appeared as soon as you took those Boots. He looks to me like he might have some useful information. It can't hurt to have a listen, Mario. Why don't you lend him an ear?"
A Boo who appears in the corridor on the second floor after Lady Bow joins Mario's party.	"This mansion has been passed down through the years by Lady Bow's ancestors. It's so comfortable... So nice and gloomy... The dirt on the walls... The splintered floorboards... It's really one of a kind." "You beat Tubba Blubba! I had nightmares about him. But wasn't he invincible? How'd you manage to beat him?" "Mario, please take care of Lady Bow! She brings the darkness to our lives!"	"That's a Boo who works at Boo's Mansion. He seems to really like this gloomy place."

Bowser's Castle

As Mario finds his way in Bowser's Castle in Chapter 8, he will encounter characters invited to the party at Peach's Castle at the beginning of the game and imprisoned after Bowser's takeover of the castle. Mario also encounters a Spiked Goomba opening the Storehouse.

Left: The first cell, which is beneath the Guard Door before the first grand hall. The Toad Minister, not shown in the screenshot, is also imprisoned here. Middle: The second cell, which is to the east of the first grand hall. Right: The third cell, which is to the west of the second grand hall.

Character	Quotes	Goombario's Tattle
A red Toad imprisoned in the first cell.	"Mario, you've come to save us! I just knew you would! All the Toads in here used to work in Peach's Castle. The princess isn't with us... I think she must be confined somewhere else. Mario, don't worry about us! Saving Princess Peach is the only thing that matters." "Mario! You've gotta save the princess! You've just gotta! She must be waiting for you!"	"This Toad worked in the castle. Even though he's in a fix, he's still worrying about Princess Peach. What a brave soul! Doesn't he know that people are worried about him back home?"
A blue Toad imprisoned in the first cell.	"I still can't believe that all of Peach's Castle was kidnapped during the party. I know it was just a means to catch Princess Peach, but still... Only an evil fiend like Bowser would do something like that. Please make him pay!" "Mario, I'm sorry that I can't be of help to you... But I'll make a wish to the Star Spirits for your safety."	"This Toad's been captured. He looks like he's all right. I wonder where he worked in Peach's Castle?"
A yellow Toad with a spear imprisoned in the first cell.	"This wouldn't have happened if we'd had better defenses. I don't know how I can ever apologize to Princess Peach... Ugh... It doesn't matter. Saving her is all that counts now." "I'd love to join you, but I'd just slow you down... Mario, please take care. Don't worry about us. We'll keep our eyes open for Bowser's minions and find a way out of this place."	"He was a soldier at Princess Peach's Castle. He was captured in the takeover. That must have been a pretty bad scene. He looks like he's recovering."
A red Toad making a Toad House out of the slate in the second cell.	"Pssst... Psssst... The Toad House's slogan is... 'Refresh your Body and Soul!' ...This isn't a real Toad House, but you can take a quick nap here if you feel like it. Are you going to take a nap?" "...Really? Mario, you're at full strength. Are you still going to nap?" "Please come back if you get tired again... Take care--if you can. And good luck!" "These are difficult times... Please rest well, though." "Did you sleep well? Then take care--and go! Oops... Shhh... I should be quiet... Otherwise, they'll find us."	"This Toad's been captured. Somehow he's been able to set up a Toad House here. How lucky for us!"
A blue Toad with a spear imprisoned in the second cell.	"Mario, your main goal is to save the princess, isn't it? She must be doing OK, holding on to the belief that you'll come. We soldiers should have broken out to save her by now... But it's taken all our efforts just to protect the prisoners. ...What a shame."	"He's one of the captured Toad Soldiers. These guys are counting on you! Let's not let 'em down!"
A yellow Toad imprisoned in the second cell.	"Mario, you're safe! Oh, I'm so glad. We all got captured before we knew what was happening. A few people at the party were able to get away, but they caught most of us. I wonder where Princess Peach, the Minister, and all the other guests are. I'm really worried about them..."	"This Toad's been captured. It must've been scary to be captured, but he looks like he's all in one piece."
A green Dryite imprisoned in the second cell.	"I come all the way from Dry Dry Desert to Princess Peach's party and look what happens. I've been to some lame parties, but that was ridiculous. I wanna go back to the desert as soon as possible."	"It's a Dryite. He came to the party and was dragged into this mess. He seems to be really cold. He must miss the desert. We have to defeat Bowser as fast as we can and get all these brave folks back home."
A Spiked Goomba running the Storehouse.	"Whuhhh? Who're you, man!? I don't know your face. Maybe you're Mario, huh? Heh heh... Just joking. I'm the guard of this warehouse. I'm really, really bored, man. Hey, you know... If you've got any coins, I'll sell you stuff." "What? You've got nothing? Lame..." "Oh, you're loaded, man! Take a look around. I'll sell anything you see."	"He's one of Bowser's followers. He got bored guarding the storage room and decided to start selling stuff. Wow, his job must have been really, really boring. I can imagine. You've gotta wonder, though... I bet if someone found out that he sold stuff to Mario, he'd get punished big time. Maybe he doesn't know who you are, though..."
A red Toad imprisoned in the third cell.	"This is a makeshift Toad House. The Toad House's slogan is... 'Refresh your Body and Soul!' I know it's not a great house... but plenty of sleep will heal you, no matter where you happen to be sleeping. Will you take a nap?" "...Really? You look fine to me, Mario. Are you sure you want to nap?" "Please come again, OK?" "Please, get some sleep." "Did you sleep well? Then take care--and go! Good luck, Mario! Bowser will be no match for you!"	"This Toad's been captured. He's set up a Toad House. We should be thankful for his sacrifice."
A green Toad with a spear imprisoned in the third cell.	"Mario... Good work finding us. Thanks for coming. I can't believe I was captured so easily... How shameful. I bet Princess Peach is being held under heavy security. Please! Save her." "Good work finding us. I can't believe I was captured so easily... How shameful. I bet Princess Peach is being held under heavy security. Please! Save her."	"He's a soldier from Peach's Castle. He says he's ashamed that he failed. He and the others tried their best, but they were overcome by Bowser's troops. The fiends who follow Bowser must be tough customers..."
A blue Toad imprisoned in the third cell.	"Oh, Mario, thank you for coming. It's so good to see you. All the prisoners got split up so it's just been us four... Are the others all safe? Please don't say we're the only ones you've saved.... I hope this whole horrible mess will be over soon so we can have a reunion with everybody!"	"This Toad's been captured. He spends his days worrying about other people. I guess he doesn't realize how many people are worried about him. We have to get him home to the people who miss him. We must!"
A penguin imprisoned in the third cell.	"If I'd known this was going to happen, I would have gone home with Mayor Penguin! I wish I'd wake up in Shiver City and never have to leave again. Sniffle... Sob... I dream of sweet shaved ice treats every single day."	"It's a penguin from Shiver City. I wonder how he scored an invitation to the party? He must know somebody at the castle or something. Or maybe he was just wandering and got lost... I never get lost."

Dry Dry Desert

Dry Dry Desert is where Kolorado's team and Nomadimouse can be found. Kolorado's team (and the camp) will be absent after Mario visits Fice T. near the beginning of Chapter 3.

Kolorado's team on the western edge of Dry Dry Desert.

Character	Quotes	Goombario's Tattle
A Koopa Troopa assisting Kolorado.	"To get to the desert town, Dry Dry Outpost, just go due east on this path. I'd be careful not to stray from the path if I were you. You may find some trouble, and you'll definitely get lost. Even the path isn't that safe, so watch out for enemies." "Researching these ruins is incredibly difficult. Everyone on the dig is completely exhausted. Sometimes I wonder whether Dry Dry Ruins is really hidden there or just a local myth." "We found a clue! Yeah! I'm motivated again! We're gonna find those ruins!"*	"This is a Koopa Troopa from the excavation team. The team is assisting Kolorado. People say that excavations are about as boring as you can imagine until you find something. I bet that's true."
A Koopa Troopa assisting Kolorado.	"We're assisting Prof. Kolorado. Right now we're waiting on the guy who hiked over to Dry Dry Outpost to try to bring back some information. Did you know the people of Dry Dry Outpost are descendants of the makers of Dry Dry Ruins? What a cool thought, huh? People have been living here, watching over the ruins for many generations." "Professor Kolorado told me to look everywhere for clues about Dry Dry Ruins, but I'm a little nervous 'cause I haven't found anything yet." "Wow, the Professor's really excited now that he found a clue to Dry Dry Ruins. He's starting a full exploration immediately! Finally, our research is starting to move forward! Maybe it'll be less boring..."*	"This is a Koopa Troopa from the excavation team. The team is assisting Kolorado. That looks like hard work. I wouldn't want to do it. Doing chores in this heat? Ugh!"

* After Kolorado receives the Artifact from Mario.

Character	Quotes	Goombario's Tattle
A Nomadimouse near the entrance of Dry Dry Desert in the west scene.	"Welcome, travelers! You must have had a long, hot journey getting here. Welcome to Dry Dry Outpost. Moustafa is the leader of this entire town, so... You'd better keep it in mind. ...Although you probably won't ever see him..." "There's no question that Mr. Moustafa is the boss of Dry Dry Outpost, but... it's incredibly rare for him to actually be seen in public. His personality is a mystery. He's surrounded by secrets. Even so, as long as you behave yourself he won't mess with you. He's not a tyrant or anything. Please enjoy yourself during your stay at Dry Dry Outpost." "Welcome! You must have had a grueling trip getting here. Please enjoy Dry Dry Outpost."	"He's a Nomadimouse who lives in this town. He seems to pay special attention to strangers, like us. He belongs to some kind of shady organization. The organization rules Dry Dry Outpost. So mysterious and dangerous... I can feel my skin crawling! Mario, isn't this exciting?"
A green Dryite in the west scene.	"Master Mr. Moustafa is the main man, yeah!♪ Master Mr. Moustafa is the main man, ooh!♪ Where's the man? No one knows!♪ He stays hidden from his foes♪" "Dry Dry Desert is a desert, very dry♪ Winds of change blow sand in your eyes♪ ...Oh yeeeeah. That's right! Don't I rock?" "I'm out of new songs. I can't sing a song some composer wrote, either. I have to rock in my own style! I made a wish to the Stars that I'd be inspired to write a ripping tune but so far, zilch. Nothing."	"That's a Dryite. The wind out here in the desert is full of stinging sand, so he protects himself by wrapping his face in a cloth. Since their faces are covered, it's tough to tell them apart. I'm pretty sure they're all adults, though."
An orange Dryite in the west scene.	"Are you aware that there's a Dojo in Toad Town? There is! A while ago I took one of the Dojo challenges and did pretty well, I must say. I got a Second-Degree Card. You look pretty strong, so... Huh? You haven't earned any Cards?" "Sayyyyy... Is that... ...a First-Degree Card? Hee hee! It just so happens, that I have in my possession a Second-Degree Card! Know what that means? I'm stronger than Mario! Yeah!" "Sayyyyy... Is that... ...a Second-Degree Card? Hey, I have a Second-Degree Card, too! Oh, awesome! I can't believe that I'm as strong as you are, Mario!" "Sayyyyy... Is that... ...a Third-Degree Card? Whooa! That's great! Seriously, that's great, Mario. You must be a powerhouse!" "Sayyyyy... Is that... ...a Fourth-Degree Card? Whooa! I wouldn't want to tangle with you, Mario!" "Sayyyyy... Is that... ...a Diploma...!? Whoa! WHOOOAAA! You defeated The Master!! That's unbelievable, Mario! Great! Seriously great! I mean, really great!!"	"He's a Dryite. I've seen him in Toad Town. He earned himself a Degree at the Toad Town Dojo."
An orange Dryite in the west scene.	"Have you seen the old fortune-teller in Toad Town? He's always right, so his fortune-telling is famous. If you hit trouble in the middle of your adventure, it'd be a good idea to see him."	"This Dryite has been seen in Toad Town. Why does he look like he's worried about something? Whenever I worried, my Goompa always told me... 'When you're feeling lost, ask Merlon to show the way.' Merlon's fortune-telling is surprisingly accurate."
A green Dryite near the red palm tree in the west scene.	"Are you from Toad Town? Wow, that's a ways away! Dry Dry Ruins? ...Nope, never heard of it. It sounds like a local fairy tale or something." [Accompanying Dryite: "..."] "Hey, if you're serious about looking for Dry Dry whatever, you should go and ask the information trader. Supposedly this information trader lives in town and swaps information for items. Or something along those lines. ...That's what my friend says. My friend? This guy? Nah, he's way too shy to be an information trader." "My friend is the shyest guy. He can't talk to strangers at all. He just clams up. That's why I usually talk for him, you see." [Accompanying Dryite: "..."] "What's that, buddy? You want to see the princess? Whuh-ho! That's a toughie! For that wish to be granted, I think you'd better wish to the Stars, buddy. Hey, you travelers! Am I right or am I right?" "My quiet friend here just adores Princess Peach. He's making a wish to the Stars to meet her, but I'm thinking he needs to deal with some issues before that can happen. As he is now, if he meets the princess, he won't be able to speak a word!" [Accompanying Dryite: "☆○×☆×○!!!!"] "See... Look at this guy... He's only imagining seeing her and he's completely wigging out!" "Hey, someone said you're on a quest to save Princess Peach! I never even realized that you were Mario! Imagine that!" [Accompanying Dryite: "Mario... Ahem... Good luck. Please save Princess Peach."] ".......! Buddy! You spoke out loud! It's a miracle! Whoopee!" (If Mario walks around the red palm tree) "Excuse me... Can I talk to you for a sec? What exactly are you doing walking around that tree? You're making me dizzy! What? You're joking. You believe some crazy dream? Well, OK... I guess... I mean, I got a message in a dream a long time ago but it didn't mean anything. It said, 'There's a house with a whirling roof in a large town near a castle. If you Spin Jump three times inside the house, something good should happen to you...' Ha ha ha... A house with a whirling roof! As if that existed! Ha! I don't take dreams seriously." "I remember the message that came to me in a dream: 'There's a house with a whirling roof in a large town near a castle. If you Spin Jump three times inside the house, something good should happen to you...' A house with a whirling roof! Like that existed! Ha! Like I always say, you should never believe what you dream."	"Dryites look like the heat doesn't even bother them. I wonder why? I'm boiling! And they're all wrapped up in clothes! What gives? Maybe it's because their clothes are wrapped loosely. I could use some threads like that."
A green Dryite accompanying the previous Dryite. If Mario attempts to talk to him, he will move away from Mario.	N/A	"This Dryite is really quiet. He's shy, I guess. But... I don't see any reason for him to be so timid."
A blue Dryite in the westernmost house of the west scene.	"Hey! Guess what! Hey! Somewhere in the desert, there's a stone cactus. If you move 3 south and 2 west from there, you'll find something special hidden. I'm not sure how to find it exactly, however. You should go there, huh? Yeah! Hey! Wanna hear something else? I know lots of other stuff! Useful stuff! Hey!" "Hey! Did you know? The desert is dangerous! If you get caught in a desert whirlwind, it'll blow you away and you'll get lost. Bandits are out there, too! They appear all of a sudden running really fast, and they steal people's coins! There are many tales. You'd better pay attention to them, too, because the desert is an unforgiving place. Hey! Wanna hear more?" "Hey! Guess what? Here's something not a whole lot of people know. If you go south just after you leave town, you'll find an oasis. It's amazing... A paradise! I go there sometimes. If you want to take a rest, it's the best place to go. Wanna hear something else? You'll be sorry if you don't! I know lots of stuff!" "Hey! Know what I heard? There are these three trees growing in a triangle somewhere in the desert. The rumor is that if you jump in the center of the triangle, you'll find something good. Only... I don't know where the three trees are... I mean, the desert is huge! I can't know everything... Hey! You wanna hear something else or what? I'm loaded with tons and tons of useful information!"	"These Dryites look like they have big heads because they're wrapped in cloth. It's hard to tell them apart since we can see only their eyes."
Three pink-spotted Toad girls in the west scene. Appears after Chapter 2.	"This is sure different from our jobs at the castle! We came all the way here to look for mystery and excitement and adventure! But it's too hot. I feel like I'm drying up." "Quiet, girl! The heat of the desert isn't anything compared to our passion for adventure! As long as we stick together, we can take anything! We can go from one end of the Mushroom Kingdom to the other!" "I've bought many rare goods here at Dry Dry Outpost. And later we're totally stopping at the legendary Dry Dry Ruins. We're gonna be filled with stories when we get back home!"	"This Toad is one of the castle maids. Seeing as the castle has up and disappeared, I guess they've decided to take a holiday. Traveling does have a way of refreshing the body and mind." "This Toad is one of the castle maids. They're all traveling together. They're quite good friends. I've never seen 'em apart!" "This Toad is one of the castle maids. She's always been very curious. I wonder what kind of trip they're taking. It's definitely not going to be as difficult as our journey, but I'm kind of curious."
A green Dryite in the east scene.	"A brother and sister who are very close live atop Shooting Star Summit. The brother, Merlow, collects Star Pieces and will trade Badges for them. The sister, Merluvee[sic], is a fortune-teller who will tell you where to find Badges."	"This Dryite has been to Shooting Star Summit. I bet he was pretty impressed. And cold."
A Nomadimouse in the east scene.	"Long ago, in this very land, there was a kingdom called Dry Dry Kingdom. King Mousta ruled over it. One dark day, he was betrayed by his subjects. In the uprising that followed, Dry Dry Kingdom was ruined. King Mousta escaped and vowed vengeance on his enemies. He gathered those faithful to him and defeated his betrayers. King Mousta's supporters were the original robbers who built Dry Dry Outpost." "One of the descendants of King Mousta still lives here in Dry Dry Outpost. No one knows who he is, but... You can be sure that everyone secretly wishes to be that one special person... It would be pretty cool to be related to the great robbers of yesteryear." "Those rebels who rose up against King Mousta... Do you know what they wanted? They wanted to live without rules in the desert and use all the treasures of Dry Dry Kingdom as their own. The great King Mousta had no patience for such selfishness. Because he had such high ideals, King Mousta is the hero of this outpost to this day."	"He's a Nomadimouse who likes telling old tales. He knows much of the history of this town. The legend surrounding this town is very mysterious. I wish my hometown had such a cool legend! Then I could act mysterious."
Mr. E, a blue Dryite in the east scene.	"I heard that an archaeologist named Kolorado is around here looking for Dry Dry Ruins. You know what? Even if he digs up the entire desert, he won't find them." "A word to the wise: The owner of the local shop is a friend of Moustafa." "I love this town. I don't care that the desert's so harsh. There's no place like home. I was born in Dry Dry Outpost, and this is where I'll stay!" "I haven't seen rain in ages. I know it's a desert, but it should rain once in a while. We made a wish to the Stars for a little moisture, but I guess it didn't help. If this weather continues, it'll get...dry...around here." "Gee, thanks! Oh, looks like an order from Koopa Village. My job is delivering things from Dry Dry Outpost. This guy's a great customer. He's always ordering stuff. Hey, by the way. Would you do me a favor and deliver this letter the next time you're in Toad Town? It's to Miss T. She lives there. She's one of three amazingly beautiful sisters. She's normally chatting with her sisters in front of the Dojo. Thanks a lot!"	"That's a Dryite. It's hard to tell whether he's old or young because of that cloth that's wrapped around his face. What do you think? Young or old? I'm betting young..."
A green Dryite in the east scene.	"Dry Dry Outpost was built by robbers long ago, you know. The boss of the robbers was the descendant of a king. The king hid the entrance to the ruins of his kingdom, and the robber boss guarded them. Legend has it that even now, the descendant of that boss hides in this town and keeps the ruins safe from prying eyes." "People are saying that the ruins that were hidden long ago have appeared in Dry Dry Desert. Amazing. That means that the legend about the boss of the robbers in the desert was... ...actually true." "I took the train to Toad Town. I can't tell you how many things were different there from here in the desert. The people were so different and...just plain weird."	"That's a Dryite. This guy looks to be pretty easygoing. Who can be easygoing in this heat? I'm cooking!"
A Toad running the Toad House in the east scene.	"The Toad House slogan is, 'Refresh your Body and Soul!' Would you like to take a nap?" "...Uh, are you sure? You look fine to me. Would you like to take a nap anyway?" "Please come again!" "Pleasant dreams!" "Did you sleep well? Good luck out there!"	"He's a Toad. He was sent here from Princess Peach's Castle. I tell you, there's nothing like a quick, refreshing nap! Plus, it's free!"
A Nomadimouse near Merlee in the back of the east scene.	"Keep this quiet... If this woman casts a spell on you, it might help you during battle. For instance, your attack power might get stronger or you might get more coins for winning. Other, stranger, things may happen, as well. But do not rely on this spell. By no means will it take effect in every battle. The spell can be beneficial, but it's also unpredictable."	"He's a Nomadimouse who never strays from the back street in Dry Dry Outpost. He loves to stay near the lovely wizard. Ah, a rival for her affections! Just joking. He's obviously fond of Merlee. Maybe he just doesn't have anywhere better to go. He's always just sitting here. There's no reason to move... His beloved is here."
A Koopa Troopa assistant of Kolorado in the east scene. Absent after Mario visits Fice T. at the beginning of Chapter 3.	"Hey, hello. I'm assisting an archaeologist, Professor Kolorado. I came to Dry Dry Desert to excavate Dry Dry Ruins, but... It's hot as blazes every day and I'm constantly thirsty... I want to quit and go home." "I was sent here because we heard that there's an important clue about the ruins, but... I can't find the information trader anywhere. It's vital that I find him so I can get the clue. I don't want to think about how mad the professor will be if I go back with nothing. What am I going to do?" "Hey, hello, Mario. At least I've found some news. Supposedly, this guy Moustafa knows the key to Dry Dry Ruins. And then there's this other guy named Sheek who knows where Moustafa is, but... That Sheek guy is really stingy and won't tell me anything. Why do people in this town like mysteries and secrets so much?" "Somebody just said that the ruins rose from the desert! Can it be true?"	"This is a Koopa Troopa from the excavation team. The team is assisting Kolorado. That looks like hard work. Doing chores in this heat? Ugh!"

Flower Fields

In addition to the characters listed below, the three Lakitus and Yellow Magikoopa guarding the Puff Puff Machine can be talked to before turning into enemies. Goombario's tattle states: "These followers of Bowser run the Puff Puff Machine. They're continuing their evil plan to fill this fair land with clouds. Boy, Bowser and his goons think up the strangest ways to mess with our world, huh? They're really quite creative."

Character	Quotes	Goombario's Tattle
A pink Bub-ulb in the main area.	"You want to meet Petunia? That flower seems a little strange to me, you know. She collects beans and seeds, but she never grows them. She just likes seeds. I call her the Seed Maniac." "I heard that some of the trees in Flower Fields drop berries if you hit them hard enough." "Have you met Mr. Sun before? I heard that Mr. Sun lives on top of the Sun Tower." "The light of the sun is back--ooh, yeah! Feels good, so good, uh huh!! Flower flower shower power shoo-bee-do-waa ooo-waaaa Dooo waaa!♪ I feel like singing and dancing all day long!" "Rosie and Lily are always arguing about which one of them is more beautiful. They're both beautiful! Why compare?! Every flower is beautiful."	"It's a Bub-ulb. It's one of many talking flowers in Flower Fields. Boy, it seems like as soon as creatures learn to communicate, they learn to gossip."
A blue Bub-ulb in the main area.	"Petunia? The Seed Maniac, Petunia? The one who collects seeds like a crazy flower? I know her. She's growing due east from here." "There are so many beautiful flowers in Flower Fields. It would be a mistake to judge them by their beauty, though. Not all of them are gentle flowers, that's for sure." "Lily is very beautiful, but I've heard that she's more than a little bit strange. They say she always floats in the water, dreaming of things that could never happen." "Mr. Sun can't rise because so many clouds are in the way. He used to be burning hot, but now he's cooled way down. I've never heard of a sun that wasn't burning hot before." "Oh, the sun's back! He's burning hot again! Way to go, Mr. Sun! Everything's back to normal! Just gimme my soil, water, and sun and I'll be happy. I don't need anything else." "I've heard rumors about many flowers, but I've never heard any rumors about me. What do they think of me? Are they talking about me? I wonder how it would feel to be the center of attention all the time..."	"You know, a lot of the flowers in Flower Fields will answer you if you talk to 'em. They're probably our best source of news around here."
A green Bub-ulb in the main area.	"I'm sick of this weather. Flower Fields is always cloudy. It never used to be like this. That Huff N. Puff's the cause! Plants like us can't live long without the light of the sun. Everybody around here is losing hope and starting to wither..." "Every plant needs good soil in order to grow big and healthy. The more nutritious the soil is, the bigger plants can grow. And then, plants that grow really big give nutrition back! They drop their leaves, and the leaves become fertilizer. We grew with the nutrition of Wise Wisterwood's fallen leaves. So Wise Wisterwood is kind of like our father, huh?" "Have you seen the Crystal Tree near Posie's place yet? I've heard that tree bears the most wonderful berries... If you believe what folks say, those berries are the most beautiful things in the world." "Without beautiful sunlight, we plants are doomed. We can't live in Flower Fields if it's always cloudy. I never thought I'd start withering at such a young age! I wish I were blanketed in warm, rejuvenating sunlight like I used to be..." "Oh, the land's full of sunlight! I wish I could kiss this whole world right now! As long as I have sunlight like this on me, I could live here for the rest of my life." "Hello there! How are you? Are you enjoying the sunshine as much as I am?"	"A lot of flowers live here, huh? They're so...so very... uh...beautiful, I guess."
A yellow Bub-ulb in the main area.	"The sun can't come up because a thick cloud is completely covering the sky. We Bub-ulbs can live just about anywhere if there's sun, but now there's none at all! I'm not saying that having some clouds is bad. Of course not! But there should be some gaps for a little precious sunshine! Sigh... I hate that stupid cloud." "Without sunlight, the seeds we have can't sprout, and we can't make any new ones, either. If the sun never rises again, all of Flower Fields will wither up completely. Do you have any ideas?" "Are you looking for water? You might try Lily's spring. But if you want water to plant something, it's hopeless. There's no use planting now. Even if you water them, plants won't grow without the sun." "You mean you're thinking of doing something to that thick cloud so the sun can rise again? You think that'll work? Oh, it would be so nice if the sun rose up again! I hope your plan works..." "Oh, it's the sun! The sun has come out! I knew you could do it! It's all because of you! I can't believe I made it through those sad, cloudy days!" "Mario, are you still on that dangerous adventure? I can't stand that Huff N. Puff. What a mean guy! He loves clouds. And he loves that we hate them! Please, could you beat him? I hope you really stick it to him and save the Star Spirit!" "Now I'm going to grow and grow and produce lots and lots of cute little seeds! You know, Mario, as long as you're around, I think the world's going to be OK."	"It's a Bub-ulb. The flowers around here hate cloudy weather. They need the sun's rays! I don't like the rain, either, because I can't play outside."
A red flower that guards the gate in the southwestern area.	"Hello, stranger... What do you think of my bright red coloring? Isn't it nice? What's that? You want to pass through here? Ha ha ha... No, I'm sorry. I couldn't possibly let you through. Although, perhaps I could make an exception if you gave me something delicious to eat..." "You don't want to give me anything, is that how it is? Then sorry, but no. You can't go through." "Chomp chomp munch chomp... Aw, yuck!!! Disgusting! That was awful! No way you're going through!" "Munch munch munch... Ummm... I really don't like this type of berry at all. You'd better get me a better flavor, or you can't go through."* "Munch chomp smack... Ooh, delicious! This is it! Great color! Full flavor! It's perfect! You're a champ for bringing me such a tasty snack. Of course you can go through!♡" "Go on through!♡ For you, the gate's always open!" "You know, genuinely nice people are really hard to find. I've put many different people to the test since I've been here, and you're the nicest. If you keep doing good deeds, I bet you'll go through many gates as you travel!♡"	"It's a red flower that guards a gate. Red is a passionate color. Goombaria knows a lot about the subtle languages of flowers and colors. She talks and talks and talks until I can't take it anymore! As a result, I've learned a lot of what she knows."
A yellow flower that guards the gate in the southeastern area.	"Good day, Mario! It's great to see you. I'm the guard of this gate. I must tell you, though, I don't let many people through. I have excellent taste in foods, so you must bring me something sufficiently tasty to get by. Well...? Do you have anything?" "Oh, nothing tasty, eh? Well, that's unfortunate... I understand it's hard to meet the standards of such a cultured flower as me. I suppose you weren't up to it. Sadly, it also means you can't pass through here." "Chomp smack chomp... Haaaaack! Pbbbbth! What is this garbage!? This is decidedly substandard! I'm a connoisseur! It's downright ungentlemanly to eat anything but berries while in Flower Fields!" "Munch chomp munch... Ummm, well... It's not bad, I suppose. But it's not enough to satisfy a gourmet such as me. I'm sorry, but I never let people without distinguished taste pass through here. Come back with some culture." "Munch chomp chomp... Bravo!! Magnificent!! A sweet, subtle flavor with a delicate finish! And such marvelous coloring! It reminds me of the warm sunlight I so yearn for. I'm truly taken aback by your cultured taste! Of course you may go!" "Sir, your taste is flawless! You may use this gate as if it were your own front door." "It's always a pleasure to meet people with wonderful taste. And here I was thinking that there were no more cultured people left in the world! Bravo!! Scintillating! Let's hear it for incredible snobbery and fine culture!"	"It's a yellow flower that guards a gate. Yellow is a friendly color. Yellow also means 'Caution!' in many cultures, though. Maybe we should be careful..."
A blue flower that guards the gate in the western area.	"Ahhh, I'm so hungry... I'm tired of guarding this stupid old gate... I'm so, so hungry... Hey! You there! I don't suppose you have anything good to eat that you'd like to give me? Listen, if you give me something succulent I'll let you through here, and I won't tell anybody..." "Nothing? Not even a bite? Aw, shoot... Then I can't let you go through. I'm sitting here starving, and you won't even spare a lousy... Ever since the sun disappeared, nothing's gone right for me. I feel so blue..." "Chomp smack munch... Oh, bleah!!! This is totally icky! Listen, I can't eat anything but berries from around here. Yeah, I guess maybe I should have told you that first, huh? Stupid old me. Now I feel even more blue... Please...just leave me alone." "Munch chomp crunch... As far as berries go, it's so-so. But it's missing...something. Nothing tastes good. I've been blue since the sun disappeared. I hate being a blue flower. Nothing good is blue. Yeah, you heard me! Nothing! I bet even Blue Berries taste disgusting because...they're blue!" "A Blue Berry? I'm sure this'll be gross. Munch chomp munch... Oh, how delicious!♪ Such a splendid taste! There ARE good blue things! I'm filled with hope again! Go! Go and never feel blue! I'll never forget you!" "Head through there! I'll never forget you!" "Blue is a nice color, or so I've begun to think lately. Has the sun changed my opinion? Or do I owe it to you, Mario? Oh, yeah! You've got a little blue in your outfit, too! Ha ha ha! You and I match!"	"It's a blue flower that guards a gate. Blue... It's the color of the sea and sky. It's supposed to calm you. I also heard that it can ruin your appetite for some reason. Do you think that's true?"

* This quote does not occur in normal gameplay, because Mario can only obtain Red Berries at this point.

A Bub-ulb with a green flower found in Forever Forest.	"Heey! Hello there! I'm a Bub-ulb from the land called Flower Fields. ...A flower seed? Heh heh hm hmmf... Should I give it to you...? Or shouldn't I? Welllll.... I suppose I'll give it to you. Here you go." "Please plant it somewhere nice and take extra good care of it. If you plant it somewhere bad and I find out about it, I might place a curse on you... Heh heh ho hm hm hmmf..." "If you lose your way here in Forever Forest, it means you're not looking carefully enough. I know... It's often confusing. It's not an easy task. It takes guts to look really closely at this scary scenery." "I miss my beautiful hometown, Flower Fields. Oh! That warm sunshine spilling from the clear blue sky... the sweet smell of wind... But...my place is here now... This is my home now." "Hey, when you listen really carefully, can you hear the voices of the Stars above us? I think I do...and I think they can hear us, as well. They listen for all the wishes of folks down here. I hope the Star Spirits make it back to Star Haven before it's too late. This world won't be right again until they're back where they belong."	"It's a flower. I think... It doesn't seem to move like an ordinary flower, though." "Oh! It's a Bub-ulb. The flower we saw must be the top of his head. He hands out Seeds. I'm willing to bet that these Seeds are really important. Let's plant 'em, Mario."

'Refresh your Body and Mind!' Anytime you feel tired, a good rest will fix you right up. Would you like to take a nap?" "Welcome to the Toad House! Our slogan is, 'Refresh your Body and Mind!'

Gusty Gulch

A lot of peasant Boos can be found in Gusty Gulch, although Stanley is eaten during Tubba Blubba's invasion in Chapter 3. After Tubba Blubba is defeated, he releases all the Boos in his stomach, and as a result two more Boos appear in the east of the gulch. The Boos are listed below from west to east.

Character	Quotes	Goombario's Tattle
The first Boo in the west half.	"Oh! Lady Bow! What a surprise, seeing you! You know, Your Ladyship, you really shouldn't come around here. It's dangerous. Tubba Blubba could come here at any time!" "Why, just yesterday, Lady. It was horrible... He...ugh... This time, he...ate Herbert. Oh, it was gruesome! Poor Herbert! He was so dark and depressing! What a terrific Boo!" "Oh! Lady! Your bravery is inspiring! But you know he's called the Invincible Tubba Blubba... Please be careful, OK?" "When you come across Tubba Blubba, don't fight! He's invincible! Although somebody who claims to have no weaknesses must have at least one. If you could find it somehow..." "Windy Mill? It's just over there." "What! You're kidding! You defeated Tubba Blubba!? Oh, what a great day for Boos! I knew you'd do it, Lady Bow! Finally, we can exist safely. We owe you a great debt. ...Oh, and I guess you folks helped the lady a little bit. Good work, too."* "I heard from one of the Boos eaten by Tubba Blubba that his belly was literally packed full of ghosts for a while. He never felt full, though. Of course not. We're ghosts!" "Hi, Mario. You're looking good, as usual. You'd need to be paler if you want to be a proper ghost. Take my face, for example. It takes a lot of work, but look how pale I am! Whuh...? You've seen paler? Really...?"	"He's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. He's in love with Bow. If he can occasionally see Bow, his life is complete."
The second Boo in the west half. This Boo holds the Package involved in one of Koopa Koot's sidequests.	"Psst! Buddy! Did you know you can walk slowly and stealthily by moving the Control Stick a little bit? You can use this technique to walk quietly and avoid waking sleeping people." "Tubba Blubba is coming!? Oh no! Quick, hide! Aaagh!" "That naughty Boo that Tubba Blubba ate came back! It was so lonely around here without him... It really made me realize the importance of friends."* "That naughty Boo that Tubba Blubba ate came back! He was always a troublemaker, but it was weird with him gone. But now, everything's back to normal again... Thanks for saving him!" "Has my naughty friend played any spooky tricks on you yet? It'd be a shame if you came all the way out to Gusty Gulch and didn't get messed with..." "Oh, hello. You're running an errand for old Koopa Koot, are you? ...Uh-oh... Now where did I...? I wasn't really ready for this... Where'd I leave that thing? I'd better go look for it. Um... Do you think you can wait for just a second? I should find it soon enough, so why don't you kill some time by wandering around here?" "Can you wait a little while longer? I'm still looking..." "Thank you for waiting!♡ I finally found it. I can't believe it took me so long to track it down! Anyway, please give my regards to Koopa Koot, OK? And take care!"	"That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Have you ever looked closely at Boos? I think they have really charming faces. Just like other creatures, there are some that are cute and some that just aren't. Which is which, though...?"
The third Boo in the west half.	"You've gotta watch out when you fight Hyper Goombas. They charge up their attack power and then unleash it. The best thing to do when they get charged up is to get Outta Sight with Lady Bow!" "You what!? You discovered Tubba Blubba's secret? And now he's chasing you!? Oh no... Oh... I've gotta hide somewhere!" "Now that Tubba Blubba has stopped eating everyone, the forest is peaceful again. Now we can return to our days of scaring everyone who enters the forest and playing delightful pranks! Pardon me? No pranks? ... I'm not promising anything."* "Oh. Mario, how's Lady Bow doing? She's a fine, upstanding Boo and is very delicate, so you be sure to take care of her." [A hidden Boo: "Excuse me, Mario? Bleeeahhhhh!!!"] "Oooh! Excellent! What technique! What perfect delivery! There's always something new I can learn from that guy. What a Boo master! I've got to work on my scaring skills, too!" "Hey, Mario, have you saved all of the Star Spirits yet? I wonder why I care... I don't even know if Star Spirits listen to the wishes of ghosts. I sure hope they do..." [A hidden Boo: "Pardon me, Mario? Broooaargh!!!"] "Oh yeah! Another score! Boy, nobody scares people like that Boo! Wow! Such a flawless appearance! It takes my breath away. ... Actually, if we're splitting hairs, I'm a ghost so I don't actually breathe."	"That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. You know, Boos can't be attacked if they're invisible. Isn't that convenient? Whenever trouble appears, they can just disappear until the coast is clear again. I guess they're only in danger if they're taken by surprise."
The fourth Boo in the west half.	"I had a friend who escaped from Tubba Blubba's Castle the other day, and he said... 'The key to solving the secret is inside the innermost room. Pay attention to both the heart and body, and don't...' Then, just as he was finishing, Tubba Blubba ate him. I wonder what the rest of his message was..." "What? Whaaaaat? Tubba Blubba's behind you? Noooo! I don't wanna be eaten!" "Peace has finally returned to our hill. Tubba Blubba's not going to eat anybody anymore."* "My friend came back! I couldn't be happier! Now it's time to get back to scaring people senseless. I can't wait..." "Now then... What to do, what to do? Who should I scare? I want to hear people shriek and watch them run away yelling! That's what makes Boos happy. So, if you could, when a Boo scares you, try to be as terrified as possible, OK?"	"That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. This land is totally barren. I wonder what Boos find to eat around these parts. Oh yeah. They're ghosts. I guess maybe they don't need to eat anything."
The first Boo in the east half.	"Oh. Hello. Boo, I guess. Poor effort. Sorry. I had a weird dream last night... This dream voice said... 'Sometimes you must turn and run away. You must run and run until you reach the tower with the spinning vanes.' Something like that, anyway. What could it mean?" "Stanleeeeeeeey!!! He ate Stanley! I can't believe I just saw Stanley get eaten! Oh, I'm gonna be sick... Oh, cruel destiny!" "Huh? Some Boos just went to help you. What happened to them?" "All my friends who got eaten by Tubba Blubba are back! They've been telling me all these crazy stories about being inside Tubba Blubba's stomach... What it was like to go rolling down the throat into the belly... Talk about a wild ride! And talk about disgusting!"* "Tubba Blubba ate up my dear, lovely Victoria...but now she's come back safely! Victoria... So coy... She's never even given me the time of day..." "Oh...sweet Victoria... Please give me a sign! You're the object of my fondest nightmares!"	"That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Consider this: Is this place lonely because Boos make their home here, or do Boos live here because this place is lonely? .... That riddle's gonna keep me up all night."
The second Boo in the east half.	"My friend escaped from Tubba Blubba's Castle. He claims that Tubba Blubba hides something incredibly important right next to his bed. I wonder what it could be." "Tubba Blubba sometimes travels down to the foot of the hill. I'm sure he's doing something secretive down there, but... ...what could it be?" "Buhh... Uhhh... Tubbba Bbblubbaa...ate..." "Buh? Whuh? What? Tubba Blubba's coming?" "I swear, when I first saw my friends who had been eaten by Tubba Blubba return... I was totally shocked. I felt like I was seeing ghosts. I'm just glad that everyone's safe and sound again."* "Boos are saying that Tubba Blubba took off. Phew! This area will once again be a ghost paradise. Not only that... Tubba Blubba returned all the ghosts he'd eaten! And here we thought they were gone for good." "Everyone is so crazy about the lovely Victoria. But the way I hear it, she's already got somebody specific in mind. Sigh... Love is so painful. Not all wishes can be granted, I suppose. How sad..."	"That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Boos live in this wasted land and scare people. They also take scare-trips to Forever Forest for fun. It must be fun having nothing to do except scare people."
Stanley. He instructs everyone to hide during Tubba Blubba's invasion, shortly after which he is eaten by Tubba Blubba.	"Hello there! You're going up to beat Tubba Blubba, right? Yeah! Get revenge! He'll never eat another ghost! Never! Especially not..." "Oh... Oh no! Tubba Blubba's coming! Everybody, hide!! Lady Bow! You have to hide Mario!" "Everything's cool, Lady! He can't see you! Nope, there's no way Tubba Blubba can see you right now!" "Er..." (before being grabbed by Tubba Blubba)	N/A
The third Boo (besides Stanley) in the east half.	"You know, Tubba Blubba lived in that castle for a while and was perfectly nice. It was a great place for ghosts, too. So dim and dark... But then one day he turned invincible and started acting crazy. He started eating all the Boos in the castle! It was insane! We had no choice but to flee or be eaten..." "Oh!! Stanley!! Oh, the horror of it all..." "Stanley! No! Ah... Why you, too?" "Windy Mill? Just keep heading down along the gulch. You'll see it before you reach the Boo mansion." "Until yesterday, it was just a dream to have all the Boos living together happily. But it's not a dream now, is it! Thanks to Lady Bow!"* "I'm really happy that all the ghosts are back, but... with so many of us around, people might get used to us and not get scared anymore. That would be a tragedy, huh? Maybe we'd better find a quiet place with fewer ghosts so we're not so conspicuous." "It seems like fewer and fewer people are getting lost and coming around here recently. I haven't even tried my new way of terrifying people yet. I've been practicing for ages. Maybe I should start wishing to the Stars for people to lose their way more often. Then we'll be in business."	"That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Don't you think Boos have expressive faces? They must do special face exercises to be able to stretch them so much. Pulling a face muscle would hurt."
A Boo that appears after Tubba Blubba's defeat. It is unclear whether this Boo is Stanley.	"I never thought I'd be back in dear old Gusty Gulch again. I swear, when Tubba Blubba ate me, I thought that was the end for this Boo. But now it looks like everything might work out. And now I've got a great story to tell youngsters." "My dear Victoria has also come back safe and sound. I was desperate when she was first eaten by Tubba Blubba, that's for sure. Now I'm by her side again... What? You can't see her? Ha ha ha... Of course not! She's a ghost, Mario! I finally made up my mind. I'm going to confess my feelings for the lovely Victoria. But how to tell her... First, I figured I'd express my feelings by giving her a present like, you know... 'Here's a
