 * "Whoa, the gang's all here! Well, mostly here..."
 * "What's up with Piper though? Sending out that letter and not even showing up himself?!"
 * "I guess I better keep it down just in case he shows up. He was usually pretty laid back, but when he was angry... LOOK OUT!"

 * "And Piper just laughed! Just totally shrugged 'em off! But THEN they came after me sayin' "Why so blue, ya crybaby?!""

Bowser

 * "BWAHAHA! Feast your eyes!"
 * "I have harnessed the power of the black paint! Nothing can stop me now! Soon I will share the dark gift of black paint with the entire world! GWAHAHA! Later, chumps!"
 * "Well, well, well. Mario! I must admit–I didn't think you'd make it this far."
 * "Your beloved Princess Peach is here too! I knew she wouldn't want to miss this. Of course, I couldn't have her sending out those pesky little letters behind my back... You know what she said when I caught her spying on me? "I've been framed!" BAHAHAHA!"
 * "BWAHAHA! Put a lid on it, Rusty! I'll show you the true meaning of PAINT!"
 * "Huh? Mario?! What are you doing in my castle, chump?! Is...is Princess Peach with you?"

 * "OK, NOW THIS IS *REALLY* MY LAST BREATH. THE OTHER ONE WAS A WARM-UP!"

Goomba

 * "Goomba power!"
 * "I'm small, but I won't give up!"
 * "I WILL AVENGE MY FAMILY!"
 * "I am a bit tired of being stomped."
 * "GOOM! I mean BOOM!"
 * "Ugh... I waited all day just to say that, and I totally blew it. Whatever. FIGHT ME!"
 * "If only I had said BOOM instead of GOOM..."
 * "You couldn't get me in that ring. Nope. When it's my time to go, I want to go out with dignity."
 * "Getting stomped by Mario or Luigi, of course."
 * "We're just simple country Goombas, here to watch some family-friendly paintshed."
 * "We're the Shai Guyz' first fans! We're predebut groupies! That's the highest level of groupie!"

Greenie

 * "I ran into this Shy Guy, and at first I was like, fine, whatever, no big deal, just a Shy Guy. But then he whipped out a straw!"
 * "I thought he'd leave me alone if I pretended to be a tree. You know, my standard go-to move. But he figured me out somehow!"
 * "Guess I still can't act my way out of a paper bag... Anyway, later!"
 * "'Sup, Toadz!"
 * "Man, Piper was such a solid dude. He'd always do the stuff that no one else wanted to do."
 * "Remember the school play? No one wanted to play the role of the down-on-his-luck potted plant, but Piper was all like, "I'll do it.""
 * "And he was absolutely AMAZING! Everyone totally thought he was a real plant!"
 * "I still don't know how he got all those butterflies to land on him. I guess method acting really works..."
 * "Bloo! I didn't know you were coming!"
 * "WHAT?!"
 * "NOOO! That can't be true! Piper..."
 * "PIPER!"
 * "Oh no! Piper!"

Hammer Bro

 * "Bring down the hammer!"
 * "Hit it!"
 * "Need a general contractor?"
 * "It's always gotta be the boomerang. Why can't we ever toss the ol' hammer around?"
 * "Oh... right."

Ice Bro

 * "Freeze!"
 * "Climate change!"
 * "Cool it, bro!"
 * "Hope you like... cold stuff."
 * "Intruder alert!"
 * "Wait a second... That's no ordinary intruder. That's Mario!"

Iggy Koopa

 * "AHAHAHA! You should see the look on your face! No, really. Can we get a mirror over here? Ah, forget it... Let's shred this paper pusher!"
 * "So anyway, I'm Iggy! I'll be your frustratingly overpowered opponent today!"
 * "Let's see what you're made of, pretty boy!"
 * "Come at me!"
 * "OK, so you're not a COMPLETE waste of paint."
 * "Eyes on the prize, boys. Let's show him the REAL power of our chariots!"
 * "AHAHAHA! I'll let my minions wreck you while I go for a leisurely drive!"
 * "NOPE! You can't touch our chariots!"
 * "DENIED! You can't touch our chariots!"
 * "AHAHAHA! These chariots were such a good investment."
 * "What's the matter, Mario? Battle Royal not going the way you thought it would? Well it's about to get even worse! Line 'em up, boys!"
 * "No fair! Where'd you get that thing?"
 * "JUST KIDDING! Did you think it was over? That you could just win like that? AHAHAHA!"
 * "AHAHAHA!"
 * "Now, unless you brought two of those things... I'll just go ahead and END THIS! Lights out, Mario!"
 * "AW MAN! The sales guy told me those chariots were invincible! I want a refund!"
 * "UGH! I lost on my home turf? That's embarrassing... Well, I guess you can take the Big Paint Star now... Shut it down! Show's over!"

Kamek

 * ''"Kickety kaw, kickety koo! Make Mario the size of a shrew!"
 * "Eheeheehee! It's itsy-bitsy wittle Mawio! Let's see you stomp some Goombas now, you greedy little coin snatcher! True power needs not material wealth!"
 * "Lippety lap, lappet licks! Trim your hand right down to six!"
 * "Paralyzed by choice, are we? Allow me to help. Eheeheehee! And you're never getting your other cards back! ...Well, unless you win the fight."
 * "Tickety tatch, tickety twos! All of your cards are crummy shoes!"
 * "Koopatee kaw, koopatee konn! Where's your hand? Opps—it's gone!"
 * "Oh, you didn't want those cards, did you? You can always pay for a Battle Spin! Cross your fingers for a good card. Eheeheehee!"
 * "Huh? NO! But how...?! I was so busy tormenting Mario that I failed to realize my color has drained completely! Which means... The words I'm now speaking are my last! Quick, Kamek, say something profound! Uh... Did I lock my front door this morning? GAH! NO! Curse you, Mario! With my last ounce of power, I'll trap you in this forest...forever! I'm going to make you so big, you'll never fit in a pipe again, plumber boy! Eheeheehee!"
 * "Oh... I guess I only had enough power left to turn you back to normal size. Shoot..."
 * "My power... Drained. My once striking visage... So pale and colorless..."
 * "Like a bleached Boo riding a beached Blooper. Say THAT 10 times fast!"
 * "Bah... You could probably do it anyway. You're one tough cookie, Mario."
 * "My Koopa magicks, which were once called "a veritable all-you-can-eat buffet of chaos" by the Prisma Times, were not enough to stop you."
 * "I admit defeat. You've earned my respect all over again. Here, you deserve this... more than I. *cough*"

Koopa Paratroopa

 * "Nyah, nyah! Can't get me!"
 * "The ground is for suckers."
 * "Why walk when you can fly?"
 * "Hammers can't hurt me up here!"
 * "I'm, like, a regular Koopa Troopa..."
 * "Broken wings, broken heart..."
 * "I ain't no stinkin' boid."
 * "Roger, Your Evilness!"
 * "Koopa Paratroopa 2nd Division, reporting for battle! We're in position, sir!"

Larry Koopa

 * "...Crumpled body? Two to four weeks to recover? Well, get someone else to make the food!"
 * "I swear I can here Toads eating pizza out there. Who made THAT? And why can't they cook for ME?"
 * "Are you the guy who made that pizza I can here everybody eating?"
 * "You are, aren't you! Well, why are you wasting your time here? Get in the kitchen, and make me something delicious!"
 * "Here's a little something to help you get started. Heh..."
 * "What's this?"
 * "It's too tender and it's too raw."
 * "It looks like meat; that's all I can give you. I can't eat this scrap."
 * "I really want to chastise you... but I'm simply too weak from hunger."
 * "I'm going to give you one more chance. If you mess it up again, don't think I won't... think of something to do! Because I will!"
 * "Bon appetit!"
 * "Oooh!"
 * "Th-Th-This is the best steak I've ever eaten!"
 * "You really are a very talented chef! This flavor is so unique!"
 * "I'll officially recognize this place as one of my favorite one and a half star restaurants!"
 * "And I'll leave this here."
 * "Took you long enough, pal… I’m almost done digesting that giant steak I ate. *BELCH*"
 * "You grill a mean steak, Mario. You should have been a chef! At least that way, you would’ve had a nice long culinary experience. But instead, I’m gonna cook you up a tuna-fist sandwich before we get to Starlight Cape!"
 * "Lord Bowser is expecting the Big Paint Star, and I have no intention of disappointing him. Have you even seen his disappointed face? It’s heartbreaking! Enough small talk. Let’s get this over with."
 * "Ahaaaaaaaaa! I love the smell of impending doom! It was my henchmen who hijacked this train, and it’ll be my henchmen who…keep the train, uh…hijacked."
 * "Crush that dirty Toad!"
 * "Amateurs…"
 * '"'Minions! Crush them!"''
 * "Agh! Stupid Toad!"
 * "If you love engines so much, then why don’t you marry this smoke!"
 * "Well, that was fun, but I'm bored. Thanks for playing, loser!"
 * "You stopped up my smokestack, you little pest!"
 * "I haven’t lost yet!"
 * "WHAT…?! No! This can’t be… I… I lost! I can’t ever face Lord Bowser again! I’ll have to go on the lam. No, maybe I’ll go on the lamb… Lamb chops sound pretty good righ-"

Laundry Guy

 * "Today is a perfect day for doing laundry. I chucked in all the dirty stuff that's been piling up lately."
 * "How dare you wring that out! It was right in the middle of the spin cycle!"
 * "Now what am I gonna wear?"

Legendary Captain

 * "I said keep yer boots on! It'll be done when it's done!"
 * "How dare you wring out my grill! It was almost medium rare, too..."
 * "You done messed up, boy! There's no fury like a hungry-captain fury!"
 * "I'm gonna follow you around all passive-aggressively until you're mildly annoyed!"
 * "I'd been sittin' there savoring that sweet smoky scent for hours... and you had to go and ruin it!"
 * "So I'm gonna stick to you like a bad rash until you make it up to me somehow."
 * "There's no fury like hungry-captain fury! You annoyed yet, boy?!"
 * "Is that another Toad over there? It's been so long since I've seen another Toad, I almost forgot what we look like."
 * "Oi, Toad! Come over here! I don't have any barbecue to offer you on account o' this plumber guy here, but..."
 * "That's right, bub. I have absolutely no idea why I'm on this here island."
 * "By the way, I really like your garb, but... it looks a little familiar. Are you copying me, mate?"
 * "Meeting another Toad after such a long time is a breath o' fresh air."
 * "So while I haven't FORGOTTEN about the grill incident, I'll let it go fer now."
 * "Yes... about that. As I discovered long ago, the treasure of Fortune Island has already been claimed."
 * "Yeah... I remember everything."
 * "I crossed the Lost Sea... and the Violet Isles. I came alone to the island."
 * "Sure, I opened up a few treasure chests here and there, but most of 'me were empty."
 * 'Aye, but the only REAL treasure in my view was that lovely grill."
 * "I conked my noggin pretty bad while explorin' that funny parallel world. Totally knocked myself out."
 * "And when I came to, I was there in the parallel world, just fryin' up some fish."
 * "Anyway, the fish was pretty good. Nothing like a li'l amnesia to work up the ol' appetite, lemme tell ya!"
 * "Don't get down in the mouth now!"
 * "The sea is wide! The world is wide! There are incredible, undiscovered treasures waiting to be plundered!"
 * "Go get yer hands salty in the sea, mate. You'll make a fine legend yet."
 * "C'mon. I'll show ya."

Lemmy Koopa

 * "Thank you, thank you! It is I, Lemmy, the greatest and most humble illusionist in all the world! The things you’re about to see may shock you. They might astound you. But they’ll definitely impress you."
 * "SPOTLIGHT!"
 * "Now, the ringmaster here is just your average, garden-variety Shy Guy. Yes, you. Don’t look so surprised."
 * "Now feast your eyes on this! My magic wand! PHENOMENAL ARCANE POWER…in a slim and user-friendly stick! Now you see him…"
 * "What?! Where did he go? Did I vaporize him?!"
 * "You, sir! Have you seen him?"
 * "Thank you, thank you! You’re easily entertained. And now…"
 * "That’s right! (That’s EXACTLY right!) It’s a shiny green Big Paint Star! Now, watch closely!"
 * "Heeheekee! Now, wherever could the Big Paint Star have gone?"
 * "You, there! With the ridiculous moustache and the rusty can. Where do you think that extra-special Big Paint Star ran off to? You didn’t need that, did you? Heeheekeeeeeeeeee!"
 * "Well done! It seems I’ve been caught."
 * "For some reason, my magic wand doesn’t have any effect on the Paint Star. So the only way I could make it disappear was to employ a little…sleight of hand. But no matter - the point of this circus wasn’t to show off my magical prowess. The point was to steal the Paint Star and embarrass you in front of a giant crowd at the same time! And now it’s time for the grand finale! Heeheekee!"
 * "You're back! Such tenacity. Oooh, yes. I like you! Come now - the show must go on!"
 * "This is it! The moment you’ve all been waiting for. The FINAL performance of Mario’s career!"
 * "Now you see it! Now you don’t!"
 * "Bye-bye, card! Surprised ya, huh? APPLAUSE!"
 * "Oooh! Nicely done! APPLAUSE!"
 * "Thing Cards?! What is this, baby’s first battle? APPLAUSE!"
 * "The show is in full swing. It’s almost time for the grand finale!"
 * "Yes! My magic wand can transform into a magic ball. A Wonder Ball! Yes, yes! Clap for the Wonder Ball!"
 * "A discotheque with a Disco Ball! The groove…is too much to bear! I’VE GOT TO BOOGIE!"
 * "Ooooh, you sly dog! How am I supposed to defend myself when I'm getting down? Ya dig? And now for the grand finale!"
 * "My Wonder Ball deftly avoids your pathetic attack. APPLAUSE!"
 * "Here it comes--the grand finale!"
 * "This is it! Wonder Ballistic! Eheeheekee! Go ahead and struggle! It adds to the drama of it all!"
 * "NOOO! You popped my Wonder Ball! Do you even know what that thing retails for?!"
 * "Heeheekeeeee… You’re really fired up tonight, Mario. You must’ve really enjoyed the show. I admit defeat. A spectacular defeat! There’s more drama in defeat anyway. Victory is soooo overdone. And…scene."

Ludwig von Koopa

 * "Gwehehe!"
 * "I’ve been waiting, Mario! I designed this weapon specifically for you. I think you’re gonna LOVE it. Gaze upon its glory! Cower in fear of its might!"
 * "Gwehehehe! My new anti-Mario weapon! Ludwig’s Megabad Super Battleship of Dooooooooooom! But its friends call it the Super Ludship! What do you think? Isn’t it FIERCE?"
 * "But you did show up a little, uh, earlier than I anticipated, so we had to cut production a bit…short."
 * "You’re right. I do have the blue Big Paint Star. But I’m not just going to let you take it… If you really want it, you’ll have to get through me and my Super Ludship! Come at me!"
 * "The first movement begins! I hope you enjoy my Cannon in Sea Major!"
 * "Target: Mario! Fire!"
 * "Ho ho! A counterattack, eh? Aren’t we doing well? Prepare tactical auxiliary forward-mounted attack units! Oh, you know what I mean. Queue the dang Koopa Paratroopas!"
 * "Gwehehe! You think your puny attack is going to damage my Super Ludship?"
 * "Grrrreh! My ship has taken serious damage! Don’t think I’m going to let it happen again! BOMBERS! Do your stinking jobs!"
 * "Gyaaahhh! She’s going down!"
 * "Gwehehe! This was my plan all along! The Ludship was just a temporary design! Say hello to the flagship of my fleet: the Super Ludsub! Go ahead - just try to attack it. Gwehehe!"
 * "Gwehehe! Bust out the streamers and blow up the balloons - it’s time to celebrate your demise!"
 * "Gwehehe! Get that Replica garbage out of here!"
 * "This will LIFT your spirits: I'm going to end this battle next turn... BY BLASTING YOU INTO CONFETTI!"
 * "You put up quite a fight, but I'm afraid I must bid you adieu. Here comes my final attack... Meteor Missile Storm!"
 * "Super Ludsub, dive! Huh? Dive! DIVE! Why won’t you dive?!"
 * "You wrecked my Super Ludsub! HOW DARE YOU!"
 * "Mario… The world-famous Super Mario… I wanted to fight you, if not only once. That’s why I lured you in here with the Big Paint Star. But it looks like I underestimated you. I admit defeat. Even now, I’m glad that I got to trade blows with you. I guess I’ll just have to hope Lord Bowser can defeat you… Good-bye."

Luigi

 * "Mario! It's-a me!"
 * "I don't know how it happened, but some green paint fell out of the sky and repainted my kart!"
 * "Let's-a race down Rainbow Road and save Peach!"
 * "Okeydokey! You-a ready?"
 * "Yes! Here we gooooo!"
 * "Well, it sounds like you've been on quite an adventure without me, Bro!"
 * "But at least I can help you out a little a-bit with the driving, Princess-a Peach-a here we come!"
 * "We're getting a-close... to something."
 * "MAMMA MIA! It leads to a giant creepy rock in the sky!"
 * "But we can't stop a-now! You guys have worked way too hard for me to chicken out here!"
 * "Hold on! I'm-a gonna floor it! Hopefully we won't fall off the road. Lakitu's not a-here to save us!"
 * "Phew! We made it."
 * "You guys be-a careful in there, OK? I'll... I'll just wait here. You know. In case you need a ride back."
 * "Mario! Peach! Huey!"
 * "I wasn't sure you guys were gonna make it!"
 * "Get on the kart! We're a-getting out of here!"
 * "Peach, you're first. Hurry!"
 * ''"I think he's-a right, Bro. Trust me-I've fallen off Rainbow Road more times than I can count."
 * "It's a-now or never!"

Morton Koopa Jr.

 * "MORTON! WHY MORTON HERE?"
 * "OH YEAH! DA BIGGUN! BIG OL' PAIN STAR! NEED FIND BIG PAIN STAR!"
 * "FIND RIGHT NOW, AND FASTLY!"
 * "HELLO!"
 * "BIG LARGE PAIN STAR!"
 * ''"ME MORTON!"'
 * "NO PAIN STAR FOR DA MARIO!"
 * "MORTON FIND PAIN STAR!"
 * "BAD MARIO FIND PAIN STAR! BUT MORTON FIND IT MORE! MORE MORTON'S! MORE TONS! MORTON CRUSH MARIO!"
 * "MORTON STRONG! MORTON MORE TONS!"
 * "BRING ME PEDAL STOOL!"
 * "MORTON ON PEDAL STOOL! LOOK NOW! MORTON SAFE HERE!"
 * "HIGH PLACE BROKE... LOW PLACE SCARY."
 * "MORTON IS FIRED!"
 * "HOT MALLET!"
 * "FIRE... BROKEN? MALLET GONE... JUST STICK..."
 * "EAT STICK!!"
 * "MORTON... MORTON LOSE. BAD MARIO GET PAIN STAR... MASTER ORDER MORTON... SAY GO GET PAIN STAR... MORTON? MORE LIKE... LESTON."

Ninji

 * "Ninji shield!"
 * "See ya!"
 * "I am the darkness!"
 * "Ninja double!"

Paint Guy

 * "The dancing was our downfall..."
 * "I slurped this fair and square!"
 * "Man I'm tired of red paint."
 * "How'd you find us?"
 * "We dances in circles, We slurps up da paint! If you think that's yer business, Trust me, it ain't!"

Petea Piranha

 * "GLARBOK!"
 * "GLARBOK! (Knock it off!)"
 * "GLORGOK GLEP GLEP GLOP! (Can't you see I'm poisoning here?)"
 * "GLAK GLAW! (Sweet freedom!)"
 * "GLOMBO GLEEP GLA– (You shall rue the da–!)"
 * "GLORP GLAP? GORGLE ORGLE GLEP! (What am I thinking? These guys can't understand me anyway!)
 * "GLAKLAKLAKLAKLAK! (Mwahahahaha!)"
 * ''"GUUGUU GAAGAA?!'"'
 * "GOOGOO!"
 * "Gagaaaaa..."
 * "GAGGA GAGGA!"

Princess Peach

 * "Ahh... it's nice to be on dry land again."
 * "We... have come to the right place, haven't we? Port Prisma?"
 * "I thought this was supposed to be a tourist destination. It seems a little... quiet, don't you think?"
 * "Speaking of Mario... what's he doing?"
 * "Mario! We're here! Come on out!"
 * "Oh! That WAS quite a storm last night, wasn't it? You poor thing."
 * "There's my Mario! Much better."
 * "All right, let me just take another look at this... letter."
 * "Oh, I just can't bear to think about what I'm really holding—a folded-up colorless Toad!"
 * "The only clue we have is that he was postmarked here in Port Prisma."
 * "Sounds like a plan."
 * "But I've got a bad feeling about this place. Let's proceed with caution."
 * "Now who would just leave a crate in front of the stairs like this? It's blocking our way into town!"
 * "White letters on a white sign? That's, like, Bad Design 101! Who approved this layout?"
 * 'Don't make me take that hammer away from you, because I will, mister!"
 * "Wow, this is a real ghost town."
 * "This can't be right. Are you sure this is Prisma Fountain, Toad?"
 * "There's no mistaking the postmark on this poor Toad... He was definitely mailed from Port Prisma."
 * "But who could have done such a thing?"
 * "Look at that! Some kind of... device... just rose out of the fountain!"
 * "Maybe you should take a closer look at it..."
 * "Huh... Is that a... paint can?"
 * "Let's see what's inside. Try opening the lid!"
 * "Oh, right. You need a specialized tool to open a paint can like that."
 * "Well, the only tool we have is a bit more... blunt... but maybe it's worth taking a swing?"
 * "We're so sorry! It's just that... We thought you were a paint can. So we tried to open you up..."
 * "Oh, um... We're actually here to investigate a strange letter we received from your town."
 * "Only... it's not an ordinary letter. It's a Toad... drained of color and postmarked from Port Prisma."
 * "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Princess Peach from the Mushroom Kingdom."
 * "And this is my... friend Mario. He jumps on things and hits them with a hammer when necessary."
 * "And I also have a very bright and hardworking retainer around here somewhere..."
 * "What was that?!"
 * "That sounded like Toad! He might be hurt or in trouble!"
 * "We're coming, Toad!"
 * "That was Toad screaming! Hurry, we've got to find him!"
 * "Goodness! What is that thing doing to him?!"
 * "TOAD! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
 * "Poor..."
 * "Toad..."
 * "Oh, poor Toad..."
 * "Everyone, a moment of silence, please..."
 * "Really? You can revive him with paint? That would be a miracle!"
 * "He... won't come back as some kind of freaky zombie Toad, right?"
 * "Oh, Toad. I'm so glad you're OK. Without your colors, we could hardly recognize you."
 * "Oh, that's wonderful news. I was a little worried, because the fountain looked completely dry when we woke you up."
 * "Mario! There's another colorless figure over there!"
 * "We can't just leave him like that... What should we do?"
 * "Um... Don't cry... paint can."
 * "Maybe we could help you find the, uh... what were they called? Big Paint Stars?"
 * "He's right. We definitely owe him a favor."
 * "And besides... I have a feeling that this is related to OUR mystery: the poor Toad who was mailed to us!"
 * "What do you say, Mario? Will you help Mr. Can?"
 * "May you stay crisp in the face of crumpling adversity."
 * "Come see me anytime you're feeling a bit wrinkly."
 * "I can help flatten you out and restore your HP."
 * "How's it going so far, Mario? Have you recovered that Paint Star for Huey yet?"
 * "Oh, thank you... purple Toad."
 * "We are a bit tired after all of this excitement, so we will take you up on that offer."
 * "Good luck, Mario. Don't hesitate to come visit me here if your health runs low."
 * "Or if you need some good old-fashioned encouragement. Go, Mario!"
 * "Look, Mario. Isn't this a quaint room? How adorable!"
 * "I hope you don't mind me resting here while you and Huey go after Paint Stars."
 * "Thank you, Huey."
 * "Welcome back."
 * "Let me flatten your crinkling."
 * "There! Fresh as the day you were painted. Come back anytime!"
 * "Mario! Huey! Oh, thank goodness!"
 * "Understood. But you look terrible! At least let me fix you up first."
 * "We're almost out. Keep moving!"
 * "OK, Mario and Huey... your turn!"
 * "Your turn, Huey! Come on!"
 * "Aww, everyone looks so happy..."
 * "I'm so glad that peace has finally returned to Prism Island!"
 * "Thank you for everything, Mario."
 * "Wait... that's Bowser! And his minions!"
 * "I hope they've learned their lesson this time."
 * "What's wrong? You look so sad..."
 * "You're thinking about Huey, aren't you?"
 * "I know he's still out there somewhere... watching over all of Prism Island..."
 * "I think he's happy. I can feel it."

Purp

 * "Mario! This here is an important spot for me and my five best friends."
 * "Back in the day, the six of us used to gather here and play, tell jokes, sing songs, eat ice cream... You name it!"
 * "We were the six best friends anyone ever did see! But eventually we all got busy with our own lives, and we drifted apart."
 * "And then, out of nowhere, I get this letter from one of my friends!"
 * "It was my old friend Piper who sent me the letter."
 * "He never said much, but he had the most... magnetic personality. You couldn't help but love him."
 * "But it wasn't just a letter that he sent me... There was something else in the envelope. A SEED!"
 * "I'm gonna try planting the seed here in our old hangout."
 * "He said when its flowers bloom, we'll all be able to meet here again. I figure it's worth a shot."
 * "Redd! Long time no see!"
 * "Yeah yeah, I planted the seed he sent too. And lo and behold, we got a couple of sprouters!"
 * "Check out how well the seed we planted is doing!"
 * "And look! The tree's really growing fast!"
 * "Woo!"
 * "Finally! Some flowers!"
 * ""When flowers bloom in our old meeting spot, I'm certain we'll meet again"..."
 * "Well, we did what the letter asked! Now what?"
 * "Check it out! That seed we got from Piper really did blossom!"
 * "Now that you're here, Yella, surely Piper can't be far behind! I can't wait until we're all together again!"
 * "WHAT?!"
 * "STOP, MARIO!"
 * "Piper laughed!"
 * "Hahahah!"

Redd

 * "Oh, Mario, you restored my color! Thanks so much!"
 * "I've gotta run. Places to be! Good luck out there!"
 * "Yo, Big Purp! Been a minute!"
 * "I was so pale, I was thinkin' about changin' my name to Whyte! But thanks to Mario, I'm good as Redd."
 * "So I heard you got a letter from Piper? Something about how if flowers bloom here, we could all meet again?"
 * "I can't wait until we get some flowers bloomin' in this pot!"
 * "Y'know, hearing from Piper really take me back to the old days..."
 * "It's funny... I remember one time, way before I knew Piper all that well..."
 * "Field day was coming up, and I was trying to get in shape. So I was working out, and I ran into Piper..."
 * "He did his little "foo foo foo" laugh, and I figured he was making fun of me, which made me train even harder. I trained like crazy!"
 * "And then the field-day race comes, and it turns out my training was all for nothin'! I'm running in last place the whole time!"
 * "But when we get close to the finish line, Piper is in the lead, and he just falls down all of a sudden, tripping everyone but me!"
 * "It seemed kind of fishy, so after I won, I asked Piper if he fell on purpose to let me win."
 * "But Piper just got this look on his face like "naw man," and started laughing."
 * "That was really how our friendship started. I still think he fell down and tripped everyone else so I could win."
 * "Greenie! It's been so long!"
 * "Are you here because you heard about Piper's letter?"
 * "Wow! It looks like we really are getting the band back together!"
 * "Yella! You're late, fella!"
 * "WHAT?!"
 * "No! He just lost his paint! We can get Mario to paint him again!"
 * "Piper... The flowers are falling off!"
 * "Piper..."
 * "It's just like the good old days! We're all together again in our hangout spot!"
 * "Wait a minute... Did you fall down on purpose again?"

Roy Koopa

 * "Thanks for the paint, old man! Bahaha! Don’t worry - you’ll get it back soon enough…"
 * "Oh, but I almost forgot. We gotta do one more thing before I give back the paint."
 * "All right! Now we’re ready to rock and roll!"
 * "Here comes your paint, buddy. I told you I’d give it back to you."
 * "Buckle up, buttercup!"
 * "Bahaha! Check it out - I’m gonna splat you with your own paint. How’s that for irony? Yeah, I know what irony is. BOOM. Knowledge is power, so I started going to night school."
 * "Bah! This is too slow. Hey, guys, just bring me all of the paint at once!"
 * "There we go! Ooh, that’s mixing up real nice… Get ready for a blackout!"
 * "Bahahaha! What are you even doing? Can't you even see where you're aiming? What am I saying? Of course you can't!"
 * "Aw MAN! You figured it out! No matter. I’ll just have to stomp you the old-fashioned way!"
 * "No more Mr. Nice Roy!"
 * "Gwaaah! How’d you DO that? I took all your paint, and you didn’t even flinch! You weren’t even afraid of the black paint! You may have defeated me, but Lord Bowser won’t fall so easily! Nap time!"

Shady Sledge Bro

 * "HOLD IT!"
 * "Leave this to me, fellas."
 * "You got a lotta guts coming here by yerself, Mario."
 * "I like yer style."
 * "You and me! Mano and mano!"
 * "I got this! Y'all hang back!"
 * "So this is how it ends..."
 * "If only... I coulda sat on "it"... just once."
 * "Urghhhh..."
 * "No mercy!"
 * "Hold it!"
 * "I lost my scarf, my gloves, AND my socks! If it weren't for these shades, I'd be naked!"

Shunned Guy

 * "My favorite color is slurple!"
 * ''"Paint and suffering...'"'
 * "Not fire! Anything but fire!"

Shy Guy 4-Stack

 * "What's your problem, bub? You don't wanna stack up with us?"
 * ''"Ooooh, I bet you think you're soooo cool being a single Shy Guy!'"'
 * "We're only rollin' four deep. We need one more to be a 5-Stack, yo!"
 * "Enough talk. Stack 'im, boys!"
 * "Cripes, he ran away!"
 * "Ayy, check out the ratty mustache on this 1-Stack over here!"
 * ''"HAH! It looks like your upper lip found a Tanooki Suit!'"'
 * "STACK THIS CLOWN!"
 * "We need a fifth!"
 * "The power of paper!"
 * "4-stack 4 life!"
 * "Hey losers! Come stack with us! It'll be fun!"
 * "Not just fun—studies show that stacking in groups of five can increase HP and lower cholesterol!"

Shy Guy 5-Stack

 * "Five Shy Guys!"
 * "Fore!"
 * "Triple threat!"
 * "Double trouble!"
 * ''"Don't hurt me!'"'
 * "Not so fast!"
 * "Our clothes were in there! You ruined five perfectly good hoods!"
 * "You'll pay for this..."

Slurp Guy

 * "SLUUURP! *burp*"
 * "Strawmageddon!"
 * "Mmm... Red paint..."
 * "I'ma slurp your face off!"
 * "What's yellow and tastes like paint?"
 * "Paaaaaint..."
 * "This yellow ain't mellow!"
 * "Slurp it up!"
 * "Blue paint..."
 * "Gimme, gimme, gimme..."
 * "Must... steal... blue... paint..."
 * "I bleed blue!"
 * "It's so cute that you're trying."
 * "Mario?! What are you doing here?"
 * "Let's all drink paint."
 * "Paint tastes better in the country."
 * "Dancing helps us concentrate!"
 * "Hey, so... we're just gonna go ahead and attack you now. I mean... if that's cool."

Snifit

 * "Don't move or we shoot!"
 * "YOU MOVED!"
 * "You're jealous of my mask. Admit it."
 * "You're in spitting distance!"
 * "Noxious fumes are nothing to me!"
 * "I could go for some go for some coffee..."

Soggy Guy

 * "Unnnnnnngh..."
 * "I know you're supposed to be the enemy and stuff, but... thanks for scrapping those guys."
 * ''"I might be all soggy now, but I'd rather be soggy than stacked with them.'"'
 * ''"They say that one guy can't make a difference. That I should be another cog in the machine.'"'
 * ''"But I don't care what they think! I'm living my life as a single layer of Shy Guy awesomeness!'"'
 * "Oh scrap! A talking paint can?!"
 * "I must've hit my head harder than I thought. You better take this before I pass out."
 * "These colors don't run. Oh, wait..."
 * "I'll smear ya!"
 * "So soggy..."
 * "Why's everything so blurry?"

Sombrero Guy

 * "Fear the sombrero!"
 * ''"I'm all hat, ALL CATTLE!'"'
 * ''"How do you day? Ah, yes. Attack!'"'
 * "Passionate arpeggio of DOOM!"

Spike

 * "This is going to hurt!"
 * "My lips are chapped..."
 * "I'm not big–my shell's just small!"
 * "Dodge this!"
 * "Whoa! So "it" really exists. I... I never seen nothin' like it before!"
 * "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
 * "YESSIR!"
 * "Bomb squad reporting for battle!"
 * "Whenever I see the exhaust funnel on an engine, I get a weird urge to stuff something into it."
 * "But if I plugged it, the smoke would stop coming out and I'd get into trouble with Mr. Larry..."

Spike Top

 * "Look who grew a spike!"
 * "I'm basically invincible!"
 * "Only got one spike. Only need one."
 * "Jumps welcome."

Spiny

 * "Go, Team Spiny!"
 * "Need some foot acupuncture?"
 * "Go ahead–stomp me!"
 * "Lookin' sharp!"

Swoop

 * "Swoop!"
 * "Swoooop..."
 * "Nyah, nyah, you can't fly!"
 * "Woops!"

Toad

 * "Guys! We're here!"
 * "So this is the famous Port Prisma. It's so peaceful! And quiet. Really quiet..."
 * "Uh, where is everybody?"
 * "Yeah... weird. I even let them know we were coming."
 * "You'd think they'd prepare a warmer welcome for Princess Peach and the world-famous Mario!"
 * "Hah! You look like a used gum wrapper!"
 * "Iron yourself out, man!"
 * "Not to worry, Princess. I've read the Port Prisma guidebook cover to cover!"
 * "We'll want to head to Prisma Fountain in the center of town. It's a big tourist attraction!"
 * "From there, maybe we'll run into some locals who can help us."
 * "Let's get out of the marina and head for the fountain!"
 * "So... we have to break this crate? THAT'S original."
 * "Let's not make this crate another statistic. There's got to be a better way."
 * "Ah, now we're talking. Looks like there's something up on that box."
 * "Think you can jump up there and check it out, Mario?"
 * "Score! This totally makes up for me accidentally tossing your hammer overboard during the voyage!"
 * "I bet it works just like your old one. Try pressing to swing it."
 * "Sorry, crate. You gave us no choice."
 * "Let's go check out the town!"
 * "According to my guidebook, the fountain is "a glorious rainbow of happiness and joy.""
 * "So, um... Yeah, this doesn't feel right. I'll take a look around and see if I can find someone."
 * "AAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!"
 * "STOP IT!"
 * "My... my beautiful colors..."
 * "Mario... Help me!"
 * "I... I can't feel my pants!"
 * "But I did... find something... that might come in... handy..."
 * "Take these... and remember me... fondly..."
 * "I'M ALIVE!"
 * "And I can feel my pants! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!"
 * "So, this can here just saved my life? I knew all that recycling would pay off one day!"
 * "Hey, just in case we get ambushed by any more freaks with bendy straws..."
 * "Where exactly are we supposed to find this magical life-giving paint you speak of?"
 * "Yeah! So, I guess we just needed to turn it on or something, right? It was definitely dry when we got there."
 * "Paint Stars? I don't know what a Paint Star is, but I definitely didn't see anything like that."
 * "I'm pretty sure he's ugly-crying in there."
 * "First of all, I don't really understand that analogy. And secondly, gross..."
 * "But thirdly, those Paint Stars do sound really important to you, and you DID just save my life."
 * "We're going to wait here for a while, Mario. Go paint the town red! And hopefully other colors too..."
 * "Be careful out there, Mario! If you're running low on HP, hurry back here to rest up. Don't be a hero!"
 * "I mean... DO be a hero! Just... YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!"
 * "Guys, we got one of the Big Paint Stars back–we need to celebrate! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
 * "Dance party!"
 * "Mario! Princess Peach has been kidnapped by Bowser! No one could have predicted this!"
 * "I know this is highly unusual, but can you help rescue her?"
 * "Whoa! What's that?"
 * "This... is a Holo-Peach!"
 * "You know... a self-delivering postcard shaped like Princess Peach. Obviously."
 * "She must have been able to get one quick message out just as she was being kidnapped."
 * "Well, at least we know she's OK. For now."
 * "All right! Without further ado, let's celebrate the return of the yellow Big Paint Star!"
 * "Everyone, get crazy!"
 * "I know we're all still tired from the last celebration, but we need to show the blue Big Paint Star how much we care..."
 * "LET'S DANCE!"
 * "OK! How about we blow off some steam, eh? To celebrate the revival of the purple Big Paint Star..."
 * "Let's shake it!"
 * "Just one Big Paint Star left! OK, let's celebrate the return of the orange Big Paint Star..."
 * "Everybody, get on down!"
 * "That's right! Now that all the Big Paint Stars are back, it's finally time to fight Bowser!"
 * "OK, let's celebrate the return of ALL the Big Paint Stars..."
 * "GET WILD!"
 * "Mario, this tree got sick, so the four guys that were here before left to find some sort of... tree medicine."
 * "They said they needed to find some flower called a Rainbow Carnation. Its pollen supposedly brings plants back to life!"
 * "But they said it only grows in super-dangerous, high-up, hard-to-reach places. I'm sure they'll be fine though."
 * "Oh, Princess Peach! I'm so relieved to see you! Thank you for everything, Mario!"
 * "Is that a card of... Black Bowser's Castle? But to make one of those, you'd have to wring out the entire castle!"
 * "Who in the world could have done that?"

Wendy O. Koopa

 * "*yawwwwwwwwwwn* Well, if it isn’t the man of the hour… You’re late. I’ve been waiting for you FOREVER, mister! I was beginning to think you’d stood me up. I thought to myself, ‘’Wendy, is Mario ever going to show up?’’ And then I dozed off. Anyway, Mr. Bowser sent me to stop you from getting your grubby little mitts on this Big Paint Star. And now that I’ve gotten some peaceful rest, it’s time to help you rest in peace!"
 * "Now, since you did come all the way to Fortune Island, I guess you must really like money, honey… Teehee! Get ready for payday!"
 * "All those coins, and you’re not even smiling! Well, I’ll smile big enough for the both of us. Take my picture, honey!"
 * "Now, get ready for something more valuable than coins. Let’s see one last big smile before I end this. Say cheese!"
 * "Here it comes! Wendy’s gorgeous golden ring! Protect your neck!"
 * "My golden ring has you in its embrace. Your face is priceless!"
 * "I’m tired of looking at your face, so how about I break it? Sound good?"
 * "WHAT?! Why can’t I beat you?!"
 * "Oh, FINE. You beat me. I get it. I can’t believe I came all the way out to this stupid island…waited in this cramped shell for days on end…only to lose! Well, at least I lost to you. Don’t tell Mr. Bowser I said this, but you’re kind of cute, Mario. Teehee…"

Yella

 * "It's about time!"
 * "I waited for six months to get into this silly café, and I ended up getting all my color drained..."
 * "All I wanted to do was to relax, sip some coffee, and reminisce about the good ol' days. Is that too much to ask?"
 * "There's too much aggressive action in this world! Mario, we need you to restore love and joy to Prism Island!"
 * "Hey, guyz!"
 * "Oh... You guys... didn't here?"
 * "Piper died."
 * "No, his color wasn't drained."
 * "His whole body turned brown... and he got all crunchy and crinkly..."
 * "He just... blew away like a fallen leaf in the wind. I think he'd been really sick for a long time."

Yoshi

 * "Yoshi! (Long time no see, Mario!)"
 * "Yoshi! (Thanks for helping be escape that haunted inn!)"
 * "Yoshi! (Just thinking about that place gives me the creeps!)"
 * "Yoshi! (I owe you BIG-time!)"
 * "Yoshi! (I came here to bust my friends out of this cage.)"
 * "Yoshi! (Though I'm not sure why they wanted to get out so badly.)"
 * "Yoshi! (I'll never get tired of this gilded cage! I could live in here forever!)"
 * "Yoshi! (Looking closely, that cage isn't as nice as I thought it was. I've decided I want to be a cage-free Yoshi!)"
