Bob-omb

 * "Me? Well... I'm Bob-omb."
 * "You know that memory-loss thing? What's it called... Ambrosia? Amnesty? Thinky Thinky Panic? Whatever you call it, I've got it—big time."
 * ''"My name is not Bombert. I am Bob-omb!"'
 * "Oh wait. I don't have arms."
 * "Heh. Right. I'm sure you'd stay TOTALLY on-task in there, ma'am. 'No distractions,' she says..."
 * "I guess we have to check out Shogun Studios after all, huh?"
 * "Yeah...she's not even thinking about the streamer anymore."
 * "This is what every Bob-omb hopes for—a chance to change something for the better. To make an impact."

Bowser

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

 * "Behold my pushy power!"
 * "Keep pounding the floor! More! MORE!"
 * "This looks like the end! I'm too cool to go down like this!"
 * "GUHH! Too much cardio! I...I can't hold on!"
 * "Nooo! It's like pulling a bandage off halfway!" (After canceling pulling Bowser)

Bowser Jr.

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

Captain T. Ode

 * "Ah, the sea chart. And the Great Sea herself... Yes, everything is coming back to me... In this moment...I am as a bird in a cage. I yearn to sail free at the helm of my Marino, underneath the great cresting waves. I shall require the sea chart, as well as my noble vessel. Make it so!"

Colored Pencils

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

Kamek

 * "You may have heard of me. I am known as Kamek!"

King Olly

 * "Oh, and by the way...I am no longer your brother Olly. I am KING OLLY! By the time I am done, all of those miserable Toads will be folded... reborn as loyal Folded Soldiers--serving me! And I shall fold, crease, and bend the entire paper world to my whim... The birth of a new origami kingdom!"
 * "So what do you say? Will you volunteer your paper body to the cause?"
 * "Ah, I expected nothing less. And to be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way." (After saying no)
 * "Oh really? You expect me to fall for such a simple trick?!" (After saying yes)
 * ''"Why couldn't Mario have simply left you in that wall where I put you..."
 * ''"Oh, hello."
 * ''"Yes. It's been a while, hasn't it?"
 * ''"Ahh, sister... You have such a flat outlook on life. All I am doing is creating a glorious kingdom for origami like us."
 * ''"How can you not grasp the brilliance and daring of my plan?"
 * ''"Very well."
 * ''"I thought perhaps you would listen to reason. I see I was mistaken."
 * ''"Ever since you've teamed up with this Mario fellow, you've been nothing but a crinkle in my neck."
 * ''"It ends now."
 * ''"Consider this path closed."
 * ''"Alas, there will be an empty origami throne beside mine..."
 * ''"But no matter. The birth of my Origami Kingdom is imminent. You may as well sit back and wait for its arrival."
 * ''"Well, you're finally here. Took you long enough."
 * ''"As a matter of fact, it took you so long that there is nothing you can do to stop me now."
 * ''"Oh, the princess is right in front of you. Behold!"
 * ''"I told you, didn't I? That I would transform all of Peach's Castle into an origami castle. Including the princess herself."
 * ''"She is at one with the castle now. Beautiful, precious and silent. I'm sure she's happier this way."
 * ''"I would. And I did."
 * ''"Witness The Thousand Cranes technique! He who has the patience to fold 1,000 origami cranes shall have any wish granted."
 * ''"That is real, ultimate power, and I shall use it to turn every last one of those wretched Toads into mere blank paper."
 * ''"Of course I do! He's the whole reason I'm doing this!"
 * ''"That fool disrespected the very paper I am made of... He scribbled all over it!"
 * ''"Now I bear the hideous scar of his negligence and disregard for origami... And he shall pay!"
 * ''"If you've seen one Toad, you've seen them all! They're all the same to me!"
 * ''"That's why I have to turn them all into blank pieces of paper. So I never have to see a single one of their stupid faces again!"
 * ''"That... is my vision for a glorious origami kingdom."
 * ''"As for you, Mario. You've proven to be quite annoying."
 * ''"But there's nothing you can do now to stop me. Already, 999 of my cranes are complete..."
 * ''"After I defeat you... I'll honor your paper by folding you into the very last crane!"
 * ''"Your adventure ends here, Mario."
 * ''"I WILL fulfill my dream. If you won't fold willingly... I shall bend you to my will by force!"
 * ''"Indeed. I've mastered the techniques of every Bibliofold. Now... witness how a KING wields these powers!"
 * ''"*pant, pant* You... surpassed the power of my superior, folded paper..."
 * ''"SHUT IT! I don't need your pity!"
 * ''"I folded you so we could turn this flat world into an origami kingdom..."
 * ''"But you betrayed me... and allied yourself with these paper peasants!"
 * ''"Don't you see, Olivia? We're both origami! Why are you fighting me?!"

Koopa Troopa

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

Goomba

 * ''"We're the front line! That's proof that we're Lord Bowser's favorites. We always give 110 percent."

Hammer Bro

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

Hole Punch

 * ''"Lady, I couldn't stop groovin' now if I wanted to. So I guess we're gonna have to... FACE. OFF."
 * ''"I am PUMPED. I'm gonna own this dance floor till the break of dawn. And, seeing as there's no sun to rise in here, that means this groove is never gonna end! HEY! C'mon!"
 * "You wanna dance? You wanna DANCE, bro?!"
 * ''"Get back down here so I can two-step your face!"
 * ''"Oh, man... Why'd you have to harsh my groove? We had it bumpin' in here!"
 * ''"Disco forever! Count it down!"

Oarsman

 * "I'm the single-oar sculler fer the Autumn Mountain downriver tour! I was folded fer way too long... Went a bit bananas."
 * "Ya think your day was stressful?! I was a monkey!"
 * "Welcome to Shogun Studios!"
 * "It's a SUPER popular location, full of SPECTACULAR shows and AMAZIN' attractions."
 * "If ya look up ahead, you'll see Shogun Studio's famous castle!"
 * "We could continue the river tour, if ya'd like. Sweetpaper Valley is jes' up ahead. What'll it be?"
 * "What in the- Where'd this thing come from? We can't pass through the gate with this in the way!"
 * "Yep. We'll have to turn around and head back fer now."
 * "OK, then! You folks go have fun. I'll be waitn' here when you're done!"
 * "Howdy, folks. We can't go any further with that blue thing blockn' our path. Whatcha wanna do?"

Ol' Grandsappy

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

Olivia

 * "It's cramped and dark...almost like I'm in between dimensions or something"
 * "That...that sounded good! Are your arms all big and foldy now?" (After using the first Magic Circle)
 * "Oh, was I just stuck in that wall?" (After freeing Olivia)
 * "Save complete, huh? Guess that means your adventure up to this point has been saved! Phew!" (After hitting the first Save Block)
 * ''"Everything here is made of paper, of course, so every little bit of confetti is like a tiny piece of our world."
 * "I'm going to stop you, Brother. As your sister, it's my duty..."
 * "It's eating it?!"
 * "What?! Hang on. Are you telling me this place is..."
 * ''"A THEME PARK?! That sounds like so much fun! Can we go? Please?
 * "Well, Mario...it looks like we HAVE to check out Shogun Studios. It would be irresponsible not to."
 * "So Shogun Studios it is! Right? We're gonna stop here, right? Please?"
 * "WHAT?! We're not going to Shogun Studios? But...but..." (if the player chooses to go downriver)
 * "Shogun Studios..."
 * "We do? My goodness! I guess you're right, Bobby! What a great idea. So glad you thought of it."
 * "Yesss! Oh, we're going to have SO much fun in Shogun Studios!"

Princess Peach

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

Professor Toad

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

Luigi

 * ''"Here we are. Peach's Castle!"
 * ''"Isn't this great, Bro? Back on the road again and heading to some kind of festival!"
 * ''"Mamma mia! I forgot our gift in the kart! I'll just dash over and get it."
 * ''"Sorry for the wait, Bro. Let's-a go see the princess!"
 * ''"Uh, Mario? I meant let's-a go the other way. Toward Peach's Castle, Bro!"
 * ''"...Where is everybody? You don't think we missed it, do you?"
 * ''"Don't worry, Mario. I know just what to do in situations like this."
 * ''"OK...I'm just gonna take a deep breath and go find the key to this door. That's what you'd do, right?"
 * ''"Princess! I'm-a coming!"
 * ''"Hey, guys! I hope I didn't miss too much. I found the Origami Craftsman!"

Rubber Band

 * ''"No, no, NO! The star of the show isn't Mario, you uncultured HACKS! The real superstar...is MEEE!"
 * ''"I wanted to make this place GRAND! Eliminate things DULL and bland! Alas, this was my FINAL stand. It's curtains for poor Rubber—*gaaasp*"

Scissors

 * ''"Let's get this straight: I WILL annihilate you...but I don't see why we can't have some fun first. After all, where's the challenge in slicing you to strips immediately?"
 * ''"My blade has been unsheathed... Now it must taste ink and paper!"
 * ''"It was fun while it lasted...but your feeble attacks have grown tiresome. Let's CUT to the climax!"

Shy Guy

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

Snifit

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

Tape

 * ''"Hey! I'm elevatin' here!"
 * ''"And you, origami kid... Be a good goil and run back to Olly. It's past your beddy-bye time, capisce?"
 * ''"HEY! I'm not tacky! I'm STICKY! DAT'S IT! Ya want a piece of me? Well, you're gonna get it!"
 * ''"You two got some noive, bustin' up my precious, tailor-made dispenser like dat. It was worth a fortune, not to mention the senty-mental value!"
 * ''"Don't do dis to me! I'm a changed adhesive! I won't stick nobody up no more, I swear! Boss! Olly! Ya gotta do somethin'! Ya gotta avenge me! I'm... I'm... Ehhhhh, fuhgeddaboudit."

Toad

 * ''"To all the origami... Thank you!"

Toads (battle audience)

 * ''"It's sharp! Watch your feet!"
 * ''"That hammer will never reach."
 * ''"Flames?! No! Come on, man!"
 * ''"It's gonna vanish! Wait for it!"
 * ''"Which tiles were they on?"
 * ''"Now! Use a Fire Flower!"
 * ''"Hammer! Hammer!"
 * ''"Jump! JUMP!"
 * ''"That's too hard..."
 * ''"Try sliding some of them!"
 * ''"I wanna see you turn them!"
 * ''"Aww! Too bad."
 * ''"Whoopsie doodle!"
 * ''"Ooh! Nice lineup!"
 * ''"Turn the inner ring! Quick!"
 * ''"What about the second ring?"
 * ''"Turn the third ring, obviously!"
 * ''"Maybe the outer ring?"
 * ''"Put 'em on ice, Mario!
 * ''"Mario! Use an item!"
 * ''"Try a Tail! Trust me!"
 * ''"Hey! He did it!"
 * ''"Uh-oh! Surf's up!"
 * ''"It's gonna flood the panels!"
 * ''"Phew! Magic Circle!"
 * ''"Something big is coming..."
 * ''"Lift it up, Mario! HEAVE!"
 * ''"It's the tail! Go for the tail!"
 * ''"It smells AMAZING in here."
 * ''"Uh-oh. I stared directly at it..."
 * ''"Hot enough for ya?"
 * ''"Aah! Put out those flames!"
 * ''"Extinguish it! Use water!"
 * ''"Send that rubber band flying!"
 * ''"Yank on it!"
 * ''"It's still alive?!"
 * ''"I thought he had it for sure!"
 * ''"Press A to guard!"
 * ''"Can't he use a Magic Circle?"
 * ''"Don't get TOO close..."
 * ''"That shape...oh no!"
 * ''"I call this Roshambo."
 * ''"Go for the hammer!"
 * ''"Knock it over! Whack it!"
 * ''"ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!"
 * ''"I'm snaking in my boots!"
 * ''"Is this Rock Paper Slithers?"
 * ''"1,000-Fold Arms are amazing!"
 * ''"Break the ice! Ask how it is!"
 * ''"Melt it with fire!"
 * ''"Hurry up! I'm freezing!"
 * ''"Attacks won't work?! Oh no!"
 * ''"Try the 1,000-Fold Arms!"
 * ''"Now's your chance!"
 * ''"Spin it back! Make a path!"
 * ''"I already forgot how it looked."
