 * ”Serve a witch? My dear Scarlette would be rather angry with me, I should think.“
 * ”Well, old boy, it was most agreeable that I had the chance to meet you. If it hadn't been for you, then my dear Scarlette would still gaze down on a broken Bob-omb. Let's meet again, Mario! And this time, let it be on the high seas, old boy!“

 * "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY TREASURE!"
 * "Yohohohohohohohohoho! You are foolish, amigo! For I am not dead!"
 * "Well, technically, I was already dead...but my spirit endures, tied to my treasure!"

 * “...Of course, you guys WON'T. No way you ninnies go away quietly, am I right?”
 * “Well, all right then, Slick. Fine. Yes. I turned the villagers into pigs. Big deal.”
 * “Well… You know, they're always so depressing and boring an dim–witted all the time... So instead of wallowing in gloom, I figured they might as well wallow in mud! HA! How brilliant is THAT? Now they're pigs, get it? Isn't that just sooo perfect? It's like irony, or something.”
 * “So...what? You got a problem with that? I guess you do. So let's play, Slick!”
 * “Yuk yuk yuk! I guess I'll get down and dirty if you're gonna play like that, Slick!”
 * “Well, my dear friends, if you thought changing villagers into pigs was impressive, then wait until you see THIS!”

 * “You got it now, Slick? Your body and name belong to me now!”
 * "Wrongamundo, little nobody! Who'd name their kid that? Prepare for doom, Slick!"
 * “Please, amuse me with one more guess! I just love to see people squirm in futility as they try to guess my name! Hit me one more time!”
 * “W–What did you say!?”
 * “NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW? HOW?”

 * “Oh, right… Sorry.”
 * “I SAID MY NAME IS DOOPLISS!”
 * "OK! OK! OK! OK!"
 * “Hey! Wait for me!”

Flavio

 * "Emotion you say, ah? I suppose each life must experience some emotion..."
 * "Yes, the gradual process that forever alters the landscape of life, like rain on dirt..."
 * "AH! NOOO! FOOLISH FLAVIO! Not EROSION, you silly man! What I need is EMOTION!!!"
 * "Ah, yes! Of course! Mario! Perhaps you could handle the exploration of this island?"
 * "Ah...Well, we cannot just sit here and sun ourselves all day like mermaids, ah?"
 * "Someone must get out there and look around!"
 * ''"This is not a thing to be argued! So! We'll decide this fair and square, hmm?
 * “I growl at you like an angry jungle beast! I ought to.”
 * “No. Not fair. Flavio hate you all.”
 * "What? You want me to give you the Chuckola Cola? Ha! I must scroff at you!"
 * "You ask for too much, little man!...Except...WAIT! I already gave that to you!"
 * ''"What? You want me to lend you coins, you poor pauper?

 * "No I left no such thing. I can't even hold phyiscal objects like pen and paper."
 * "What? You just want the blanket, then?"
 * "Well, I'll tell you where it is if you do something for me. What do you say?"
 * "All I need is......YOOOOOUR LIIIIFE!!!"
 * "...No, just kidding..."
 * "Actually... I passed away in this cabin many years ago..."
 * "But I think my luggage is still in the baggage car here..."
 * "Inside my bag is a diary I kept since my earliest childhood days..."
 * "And my fear that someone would find and read it has kept me tied to this world!"
 * "I can't leave this room, so can you please find it and bring it here?"
 * "If you do that, I'll show you where the blanket is."

 * “Whoa, whoa, WHOA, bucko! Whatcha got there?”
 * “Omigosh! Is… Isn't that a treasure map?! You HAVE to tell me where you got that!”
 * “Hey, what's your beef, pal? YEAH, I'M TALKING TO YOU!”

 * “Oh, it's, like, SO sweet that you boys think I'm cute! Seriously! Yeah, guys like you make me feel like TOTALLY BARFING! Now get out of our way!”
 * “That's a Goomba. Umm... Yeah, I'm one of those, in case you hadn't noticed. Ahem... It says here: "Goombas are underlings of underlings."  ...That is totally rude!”
 * “Hey, Mario. If you ever find yourself getting stuck and, like, wondering what to do, just use my Tattle ability, okay?”
 * “Are you like, the biggest floozy ever, or what?”
 * “I'm gonna Headbonk that burglar rat if she doesn't watch it!”
 * “Using a Crystal Star to look good? You're so totally vain! You're gonna pay for that!”
 * “Yeah, as if we aren't going to spank you for like, the tenth time!”
 * “Opening the door for you? What do you mean by THAT, you total hag?”
 * “Let's leave these doofuses, Mario…”
 * “So, this chump is the leader of those X–Nauts?”
 * “We aren't gonna let that happen!”
 * “Never, ever give up! That's the most important thing I've learned from you, Mario.”
 * “We beat the Shadow Queen, but there's tons of Rogueport lore we still don't get. So, my research with the professor goes on and on.”
 * “Guess what Koops wants to do, now? He wants to run for Mayor! Can you believe that? It might just be perfect for him, come to think of it. Still, I think Koopie Koo has her little finger wrapped around him.”
 * “Flurrie's back on stage in a big way, and crowd is totally ecstatic!”
 * “I have to get this right, or he'll get, like, SO mad at me…”
 * “Vivian's gone back to live with her sisters. Family IS important, after all. Now that the Shadow Queen's gone, I don't think Beldam's into evil. She's also promised me that she would never be mean to Vivian ever again. I think the three Sirens are gonna live pretty peacefully from now on. You should totally come visit her sometime.”
 * “Bobbery goes out to sea now everyday with Cortez. I think his soul has healed. I ran into him by accident on Keelhaul Key the other day, which was nice. He was so happy, I thought he was gonna explode on me for a second!”
 * “Guess whose favorite calculator is still computing? He says he really wants to see you and Peach again!”
 * “Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. During my travels, I heard a rumor that Grodus and Lord Crump are still alive. I guess that makes them pretty tenacious baddies, huh? But they've mellowed out a lot, just like Beldam has, and I don't expect anymore trouble. Plus, I hear that Grodus is just a head, so that really cuts down on any mischief making.”
 * “There's something that kinda weighed on me that I never got to express to you. You see, I… Well, maybe that's best kept secret.”
 * “That's Lady Bow. Wait a second! Mario! Exactly WHAT is your relationship with her?!? Tell me NOW! Hee hee hee hee hee hee! Just kidding! I always wanted to say that. But you DID go on an adventure with her, right? Tell me sometime, OK?”

Goomfrey

 * "The package... Yep, that's it."
 * "I'll dispose of this in a way no one will ever find it. Tell McGoomba I said so."
 * "And do me a favor: forget all this. You hear me? It never happened. For your sake."
 * "We never spoke! Forget everything!"
 * "And when you give McGoomba my message, he'll give you your compensation."
 * "Remember: this deal won't be done until you give my message to McGoomba."
 * "Remember: this deal won't be done until you give my message to McGoomba."

Goom Goom

 * "Hey, thanks for taking on my trouble. All the way out here, too. I know it's far."
 * "I came out here to enjoy island life, but now that I'm here, I just feel lonely..."
 * "There is no one to date, I mean, NO ONE. I'm chatting up sea turtles, here."
 * "So all I need you to do is introduce me to a nice girl. That's it. A girl. OK?"
 * "I guess my type would be...Petite, younger than me, and pretty, not drop-dead hot."
 * "Yeah, a cute little goomba gal would be just perfect...Please help me. Please."

 * “Nooo… How'd a perfect bod like mine lose to such a chub? Urrgh… Great Gonzales… Great fight there, son. Great fight…”

Goomba

 * "Ouch! That was cold!"
 * "OWIIIIIIIIIIIIE!"

Gus

 * "Whoa! Whoa! Hold up, now! If you want to pass through here, you gotta pay 10 coins."
 * "One, two, three...Yup! That's 10 coins all right! You can pass."
 * "Whoa! Whoa! Hold up, now! You don't have enough cash! You dirty, lying cheapskate!"
 * "It's really simple. If you don't pay, you don't pass."
 * "What? You gotta be kidding. You think you can fight your way through here?"
 * “I'm gonna make you eat your words, tough guy! Let's get this party started!”
 * “CRUD! You dumb video–game heroes ALWAYS pull this stuff! It's RIDICULOUS! You think violence solves everything, don't you? Huh? DON'T YOU?!?”
 * “You're amazing! I think I might even brag about the fact that you wrecked me!”
 * “…No, wait a second. I can't brag about getting beaten over 10 measly coins… That's pathetic! Crud!!!”

Heff T.

 * "Whoawhoawhoawhoa! What do you want?!?"
 * "BUUUUUUUUUURP!"
 * "Sorry about that. Now...What were you just saying? A pot from the kitchen?"
 * "Oh, I get it! Food gets stolen and you blame the chubby guy! NOT NICE!!!"
 * "What? Drops of stew on the floor outside?"
 * "N-No... I wouldn't know anything about that! No! People spill stuff!"
 * "And there's nothing in the drawer, so no need to look! You won't find a thing!"
 * "Doh! ......"
 * "I'm sorry! I ate it all! It was MEEEEEEEEE!"
 * "Yes... Yes, that's right."
 * "I'm so sorry, but it was a brief moment of weakness...Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"

Hooktail

 * Who dares approach me?"
 * Hmm... So... You are friends of the strange–garbed one who came earlier?"
 * I didn't expect more to come to steal the treasure I protect... Such rashness..."
 * That was foolish, I fear. Do you really think you can beat me?"
 * But you're so small. You don't appear tasty. I suppose you might make a good snack. And the bottoms of your feet smell like they might make a good sauce with some spices."
 * What I'll do is saute you to crispy goodness and gobble you down...HEADFIRST!"
 * Snack time, my little appetizers! But which one of you morsels should I taste first?"
 * Bleck! That awful sound! It...sounds like a cricket! How did you know?"
 * Stop that this instant!"
 * "Urp... I got really bad...ugh... food poisoning once when I ate a cricket. I HATE them!"
 * "Oh... Fight it, Hooky...
 * "Just hearing a cricket chirp makes me feel woozy!"
 * "Ooooog... Must...not...gag... My poor tummy... Uuuuurp... So very woozy..."
 * "W-Wait! Hold up a moment!"
 * "I give up! Please!"
 * "I won't be so bad anymore. I promise! In fact, I'm sorry! For everything!"
 * "Er... Yeah...
 * "To prove it, I'll give you 1,000 coins! What do you say? Can you forgive me?"
 * "What? You must be joking! You don't need any coins?
 * "Then how about the lovely, rare, extra-special badge I have? I'll give you that."
 * "It's one of a kind! And it's yours for a limited time only! Will you take it?"
 * "Of course you want it! Who wouldn't? Now,come here and get your badge..."
 * "OHHHH ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!"
 * "You were completely duped by my ingenicus ruse! You senseless yokels"
 * "Nothing in life is that easy! Your gulliability did you in!"
 * "Errrr... Really?!?"
 * "Well, I suppose I could apologize by letting you smell the bottoms of my feet."
 * "People pay good money to do this. I'm being completely honest right now. Really."
 * "So? Care to take a whiff of the rich, yet delicate scent of my world-renowned feet?"
 * "Hrrrrrrrrmmmm! You aren't a very trusting fellow, are you?"
 * "It's important to be able to trust someone, you know."
 * "Errr... I guess I'd better..."
 * "Ohhh ho ho ho ho ho ho! Ahhh! Now my strength has returned to me!"
 * "Blurp! Why do I always have to feel so faint every time I hear a...urp...cricket?"
 * "B-But... I... I..."
 * "GURK!"
 * "How? Why? There's still so much I wanted to do with my life... So many meals..."

Ishnail

 * “What's that? You wanna know how to meet that lying, stealing, jerky–for–brains, Don Pianta?”
 * “Real thieves like us end up poor as dirty, never catchin' a break 'cause of that guy!”
 * “Fine, Mr. Insensitive Jerk, but it's gonna cost you 64 coins.”
 * “YESSS! I mean, good call.”
 * “Hey, you! That was amazin'! I can't believe how you cleared out that darkness!”
 * “You really are incredible! If I ever have a problem, I'm goin' straight to you.”
 * “You saved the world, guy! You're welcome here anytime! My house is yours!”

Jolene

 * "Let's get ready to... BRAAAAWL!"
 * “Mr. Champion! No, I mean, Mario…”
 * “Please allow me to express my earnest thanks for defeating that foul Grubba.”
 * “Now, sir… I mean, NO! NOT "SIR"! Grubba! I want answers, and I want them NOW! What have you done with my precious little brother? You know what I'm talking about: The first champion, PRINCE MUSH!”
 * “Well, Champ, tell us about your mind–set! After all, today's challenger is… The Great Gonzales, the only man to ever wrestle the belt away from you!”
 * “But, Champ, Gonzales showed no signs of rust in climbing back up to the ranks…”
 * “He shattered his own records, one after another! How does THAT strike you?”
 * “Big words from the champ! And now, the challenger, who needs no introduction!”
 * “The former champ returns!! The Superstar Sequel… The GREAT GOOOOOONZALES!”
 * “Listen to the crowd give it up for the brave challenger, the Great Gonzales!”
 * “It's been a while since these two met…but who will emerge victorious this time?”
 * “The battle is ready to begin! Ring that bell!”
 * “Who could've seen this coming? You couldn't PLAN a more ferocious battle!”
 * “Wild moves, raw power, fists and feathers of fury… What beautiful destruction!”
 * ”This was without a doubt, inarguably, definitely, absolutely, completely…“
 * ”An EXTREEEEEME battle of the very highest caliber!“
 * ''”But there could only be one winner, and this time, it was the GREAT GOOOOOONZALES!“
 * ”Congratulations, Gonzales! Once again, you're our champion!!“
 * ”Congratulations, Gonzales. I was a little worried that you were over the hill, but you made quite a comeback! You are a true champion!“
 * ”Now… I think I know what you're thinking… You plan to move on, don't you?“
 * ”Well, that's fine, of course. I'll keep you registered in case you were wish to return.“
 * ''”Come back and give the folks a thrill every now and then. You know, defend your title!:;;
 * “Of course, if you lose, you'll have to drop back down into the major league…”
 * “Well then, I'm rather busy, as usual, so you'll have to excuse me.”
 * “I need to work out a plan to bring Rawk Hawk back. That guy really draws crowds!”
 * “Have a nice day, Gonzales.”
 * “Please, Mr. Gonzales, I'm very busy these days. Fight promotion is not easy!”
 * “Please see yourself out. And have a nice day!”
 * “Thank you, Great Gonzales...No, Thank you, MARIO...You're a true champion.”
 * “Huh? Who am I, you ask? Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm! You don't know? I'm someone you know quite well, actually. When I go outside the arena, I like to cut loose and shed my other personality...”

Kammy Koopa

 * “Lord Bowser, please be patient with your poor servant.”
 * “It is my displeasure to report that Mario, that scum, is off to a place called Rogueport.”
 * "By the way, Lord Bowser...Do you like fried eggs?"
 * "Well, during my Mario recon,I stopped in a lovely place called Petal Meadows."
 * "I was planning on taking everyone there for a picnic, have some eggs and toast..."
 * “Two tickets! One great and evil king, and one sweet, young thing!”
 * “What did you say, you impudent little cheapskate!?”
 * “Now my derigible deluxe brown–bag Kammy lunch will go to waste!”
 * “Oh, my yummerly! The hot dogs!”
 * “Why, even at my age, I was shaking what my mama gave me!”
 * “Lord Bowser… is that a 'no'?”
 * “Hey, you! Suspicious guy! You know something about the Crystal Stars?”
 * “Koopa Clan, form up!”
 * “So, what's it going to be, tough guy?”
 * “The fact that we keep being out–manuevered is disturbing. Where could Mario and his brother be heading?”
 * “Mweh heh heh heh! Mario, you sniveling bug! This is IT for you!”
 * “Forgive me, Lord Bowser! I have nothing left…”

KP Pete

 * "Yo, Rook! How was you're first fight, dog?"
 * "I'm King K, man. Just a bush-league scrub like you."
 * ''"Meet my peeps, Gonzales! I told you we were gonna square off, and now it's ON!"

Koops

 * “OH, PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU TO FIGHT HOOKTAIL! PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU!”
 * "What? But... But why? Why can't I go?"
 * "When, if that's how you feel...I'm not giving up hope, though."
 * "I promised myself I wouldn't."
 * "Ummm...So, if...If you change your mind, Mario, let me know, OK?"
 * "I'll be over there polishing my shell. Can't have an adventure with a dull shell."
 * “The rumors about this place were all true… This place is TERRIFYING…”
 * "These bones... They remind me of my father... There's... There's no doubt about it! It's my father! DAAAAAAAAD!"
 * “'To my son, Kolorado'?!? Not 'Koops'?!? Whoops… I guess this isn't my father after all.”
 * “I wonder what her story is. I bet it's an exciting one, full of romance…”
 * "Um... All right, Mario! Hold up that Crystal Star!"
 * "Hey, uh, Mario, look there. The next Crystal Star showed up on the map."
 * "But... I'm sorry but I don't have a clue where that is."
 * "Um... I think we maybe should take it to Professor Frankly and let him look at it."
 * "Um... So, can you tell us where the next Crystal Star is or not?"
 * "A great tree in the Boggly Woods, huh?"
 * "Um... Professor Frankly... You should probably know... It's about Princess Peach..."
 * "Mr. Mario got an e-mail from her just recently."
 * "Her Highness said that the guys who kidnapped her are also hunting Crystal Star."
 * "Oh, and she said she doesn't even know where she's being held. ...Yeah."
 * "Um... I guess all we can do is head to Boggly Woods to find that next Crystal Star!"
 * "Hey! Mario! You see that? That was one of the things Professor Frankly mentioned!"
 * "Um... Mario, that was uncool. Don't say stuff like that. I thought you were... nicer."
 * "Relax, relax, little guy. We're not bullies, I swear."
 * "Um... Aren't you one of the creatures from Boggly Woods? Why are you down here?"
 * “X-Nauts'? What the heck are those? They sound like tissues to the extreme, or something.”
 * "Look, we're not here to do ANYTHING to you, so relax. Tell us what's going on, OK?"
 * "A bunch of bad guys in the Great Tree?"
 * "If those are the same guys who kidnapped the princess, they want the Crystal Star!"
 * "Um... I guess we should... I'd feel pretty bad if we didn't do anything."
 * "Plus, we do need the Crystal Stars before those X-guys do."
 * "So, the Boggly Woods, huh? Looks mysterious, all right. What'll we run into next?"
 * “Ummm… OK, we can do this!”
 * “Ms. Mowz sure is cute. Too bad I sound like such a dork whenever I talk to her.”
 * ''"WHAT THE HECK?!?"
 * ''"Andy! We're gonna get through this! Why shouldn't we go near the ring?"
 * ''"Ohhh... crud. Bad news, Mario. This door's been locked. We're trappd in here!"
 * ''"Phew! We made it..barely. Listen to all those cheers! Your fans are out in force! Com on, let's get in there and beat this guy!"
 * ''"So it WAS you! You're the guy who's been sending us Crystal Star hate mail!"
 * ''"Ummm... Mario? Is it just me, or do you hear a voice?"
 * ''"Could it be...a ghost?"
 * ''"Y-Y-Y-Yikes! That Mailbox SP almost scared me to death! Turn down that volume!"
 * ''"So...there is actually a ghost in here with us? Let's hide under the bed."
 * ''"Hey, see that? I bet that's the document Grubba hid. Let's check it out.
 * ''"Wow! A machine under the ring using a Crystal Star? These are the blueprints! I can't make much sense of this paper, but I think the Crystal Star powers it! If this document's correct, then the machine can...gulp...suck the power out of people! Oh, man... You think King K and Bandy Andy got, you know...drained?"
 * ''"You...great...big...JERK! How could you do that to King K and Bandy Andy?!?"
 * ''"Mario! Let's go after him!"
 * ''"Wow, Mario! Take a look! The Crystal Star!"
 * ''"How could you us a Crystal Star just to look better? You won't get away with this!"
 * ''"Wow! Grubba got...really big! That isn't good!"
 * ''"Mario, we owe it to the other fighters to teach this maniac a lesson! C'mon!"
 * ''"So, our mysterious X..."
 * ''"Gee, she seemed kind of aloof, but she just really loved her brother..."
 * ''"Hey! Mario, look up there! The Crystal Star!"
 * ''"So, The Crystal Star brought him back?"
 * ''"Ummm... You sure you don't mind us taking it?"
 * ''"I guess it's okay then, Mario! Let's take it!"
 * ''"Um.... K-Koops."
 * ''"H-Hey! Think you could ease up on jabbing me, Pokey?"
 * “Let's leave these wimps, Mario…”
 * "Ummm...What do we do? We can't serve her!!!"
 * "Is that..."
 * "Can you hear them, Mario? So many voices..."
 * "They're... They're all sending us their wishes and positive energy...That's...amazing..."
 * "That voice... Princess Peach?!?"
 * "Mario! Look at THAT!!!"
 * "What... What's this? I feel all full of energy..."
 * "PEACH!!!"
 * "Mario! The time is now! We've almost got her!"
 * “Mario, thanks to you, I've gained courage and inner strength, and I've grown closer to my dad. I think I like myself more since I've known you. It's all so hard to put into words. Um…”
 * “Yikes! What a grump!”

Lady Bow

 * “It IS you, isn't it, Mario? Well, it's been quite a while, hasn't it?”
 * “I've come here with Bootler, yes, a little vacation to Poshley Sanctum. I hadn't left the mansion in ages. I figured it was time to turn some heads on the road!”
 * "GWAH HEE HAH!"
 * “But what a nice surprise to see you! Feel free to be overwhelmed by my beauty.”

Lord Crump

 * ''“Oh, come off it, you airhead! I know it's tough for you, but don't play dumb with me!”
 * ''“I've seen you walking around town asking for information about the Crystal Stars. Well, now I'm doing the asking, so be a good girl and tell us what you know. Right. NOW!”
 * ''“I suppose it wouldn't be right if a sassy little lass like you met with an untimely demise…”
 * ''“Buh! Buh! Buh huh huh! Boys, we're taking this firebrand back to our fortress!”
 * “I knew it was brilliant, but seeing you fall for it REALLY gives me a warm fuzzy!”
 * “What?!? Are you you nuts? Move it, you old geezer!”
 * “Whoa What's your problem, Gramma? You got an ear hair tickling your brain, or what?”
 * “You hotheaded old coot! You dare defy me? I could shine my boots with you!”
 * “Buh! Buh huh huh!”
 * “You guys are nuts, you know that? Oh, well. I guess I'd better shut off this timer.”
 * “OK, you pests! One pummeling, coming up…with extra fists! Metal fists, that is!”
 * “Awake, Magnus von Grapple! Time for a technological thrashing! Enjoy!”
 * “You crying yet? Yeah? Sorry, but this thing isn't armed with tissues. Well, Magnus von Grapple has that effect on people. Total, weeping terror.”
 * “And you ain't seen nothing yet! Check out the power on this bad boy!”
 * “Here it comes, suckers! Magnus von PUNISH!!!”
 * “Oh, it ain't over yet! This is so awesome. Check out what else this guy could do! You're gonna love it!”
 * “This might not work out too well for you!”
 * “Gurk! Urrrrrrgh… Not good… Can't last…”
 * “Bleeeeee–harrrrgh… This could be the end…”
 * “Buh! Bu–AAAAAARGH! No! Magnus von Grapple! How we could lose?!?”
 * “Hurff… Hurfff… Hurffff… I'll remember this, losers!”
 * “Buh! Buh! Buh huh huh huh huh! I've got some ammo to spare! How's THAT for boom–bassa–boom?!?”
 * “I'll sink that ratty old ghost ship to the bottom of the ocean!”
 * “I'm gonna turn you guys into wee seeds… Wait, that's not right. I'll turn you into SEAWEED! Buh huh! Enjoy!”
 * ”I'm down, but no WAY I'm out!“
 * ”MAN, THIS IS GETTING OLD! How could I lose…again?!? I HATE LOSING! Now I gotta think of another excuse for Grodus! Grrrrrrr! And with that…pow! I'm gone!“
 * ”I've been waiting for you! Oh, MAN, have I been waiting! And I HAAAAAAAATE waiting!“
 * ”Buh huh! I'll TELL you what it means! I used the Crystal Star to lure you here… So that I could take all of YOUR Crystal Stars! How brilliant is THAT, huh?”
 * “And wanna know the best part? Your little Peachy girl isn't even here anymore!”
 * “BUH! BUH! BUH! BUH! BUH! Like I'd tell you the plan! That's novice–villain style! No, I won't be doing anything like that. Sorry, really, guys…”
 * So… ready for showtime? You guys are gonna be the perfect workout for… Magnus von Grapple 2.0!“
 * ”I hope you're up to the challenge…because this thing is raw horsepower, kiddies!!!“
 * ”Buh! Buh! Buh huh huh! Yeah, last version was buggy, so we made improvements… One…two…a DOZEN!!! Get ready for a whole new way to experience pain, you junior–varsity losers!“
 * “Here it comes, suckers! Magnus Drill Attack!!”
 * "Buh huh huh! Time to unleash some of the sweet special feature on this bad boy! Oh, man, this is gonna be so good..."
 * ''"Buh huh huh...uh, crud. You guys should be little puddle of nothing by now... Oh well, I've still got some trick up my sleeve!
 * "Buh! Buh! Buh huh huh! EAT THIS!"

Luigi

 * ''”I was one hot sacrifice, Bro.“
 * "Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty long story..."
 * "Hey, sounds good to me! Which part of my story you wanna hear, Bro?"
 * ''”You go, Bro!“

Madame Flurrie

 * ”…Perhaps if I grabbed you and gave you a little sugar?“
 * ”Did you really think we'd let a wretch like you escape? I DO believe you will be handing over that Crystal Star and promptly exiting this tree!“
 * ”Why, that was no fuss whatsoever!“
 * ”Here we go, darling! Time to shine!“
 * ”Aww, you wish to accompany us, you adorable little thing?“
 * ”You, Mr. Proprietor! Would you allow us to free this poor soul?“
 * ”Why, that voice belongs to Grubba!“
 * ”You shut your trap, sir! You drained the life from those poor souls!“
 * ”Using innocent fighters and a Crystal Star just to improve your looks? You're despicable.“
 * ”So, our mysterious X…“
 * ”'Big deal'? You foul boor! What ever would possess you to do something so mean?“
 * "Oh, mercy! Was that it? This fellow was so easy! I was rather expecting more. Well, I suppose we got the Crystal Star, so let's leave immediately, hmm?"
 * ”How could I mistake my dear Mario for another? Silly Flurrie!“
 * ”Let's leave these louts, Mario…“
 * ”So, this gentlemen is the leader of those X–Nauts?“
 * ”So, that last Crystal Star we found on the Moon… NO! What have we done?“
 * ”Mario, do be careful, dear! This fellow looks like he means business!“
 * ”We shan't let that happen!“
 * ”Mario, what shall we do, darling? We cannot bow down to her!“
 * ”Now that's just senseless… Are we to betray all of those who believed in us?“
 * ”Time to pay for all of your ills!“
 * ”My dear, dear, Mario. I am ready to make my comeback in the theatre, now! I've found so many things on this journey that I could only express on stage. Please do come to see me once we've finished rehearsing. And bring Peach, too, dear!“

 * “'OLD GEEZER'?!? Where do you get off, talking like that? You have no respect, brat! Don't think my age has anything to do with my might! Elder power activate!”
 * “Ooh! What a time for my stupid back to start acting up!”
 * “Oh, that little Punio!!! He's always, ALWAYS so darned squishy–washy!”
 * "BEGONE!"

Punio

 * "Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! D-Don't eat me!!!"
 * "Huh? Uh...You didn't come to eat me? And you're not bullies?"
 * "Noooooooo! Leave me alone, you big meanies!"
 * "You can do it, right, Mario?"
 * "Huh? Did you say "nah"? Uh... What's wrong with you?"
 * ''"Let's go find her necklace!
 * “More nagging by the old hag… When will it ever stop?”

Rawk Hawk

 * “Har har har har har!”
 * “Feel the RAAAAAWWWK…”
 * “Rawk out, Great Gonzales!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAWK! Listen to me, Gonzales! Anybody who's beat me is not ALLOWED to lose!!!”
 * “That's all ancient history! There's only one true champ, and that guy is Rawk Hawk!”
 * “One of us is walking out of here with the belt, and the other one's getting RAWKED!”
 * “Hey, shut your trap or this Gonzales won't be the only one feeling the RAAAAWK!”
 * “I'm the champ, end of story! I'm a legend! And this legend is about to RAWK that dude!”
 * “Harharharharharhar! Time for you to meet the new, improved Rawk Hawk!”
 * “Feel the horror of a world–class RAAAAAWWWKING!”
 * “No! I don't believe this! I… Am I actually gonna get Rawked AGAIN?”
 * ''"Remember: When life rocks you, RAWK back!"

Sir Grodus

 * "Well, well, my pet... Isn't about time you told us where the map is?"
 * “Princess Peach. You will speak when spoken to.”
 * "There's no use trying to hide it, silly girl. We know you had the map. We KNOW this."
 * "It would be in your best interest to be absolutely honest with us. We X-Nauts aren't all rainbows and lollipops. I could assure you, we could be quite nasty."
 * "X-Naut! I summon you!"
 * "Shut up. Go get the Shadow Sirens over here."
 * “I don't care how you planned to end that sentence, fool. Go get them. Now.”
 * "Still your tongue, Beldam. We would've had it if you had snatched her earlier. And since you missed your chance, some poor fool named Mario has the map."
 * "Indeed, that is YOUR duty."
 * “Yes, what is it? Speak!”
 * “Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? There is something wrong with your voice, X–Naut.”
 * “Perhaps I have a throat lozenge… No. Well, never mind.”
 * “Oh, and about Princess Peach? I have no interest in what that woman has to say. Just keep her locked in the holding room.”
 * “But do not EVER treat her roughly. You understand? Tell the others as well.”
 * “That's none of your business! Don't forget your place, you impudent worm! Concentrate on getting the legendary treasure! That is all I require of you.”
 * “We X–Nauts needs that treasure to conquer the world! Don't forget it!”
 * “What are you blathering about now?”
 * “Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… Something IS odd about you…”
 * “Beldam… Tell me, what good are you? You STILL haven't taken care of this Mario character?”
 * "You DO realize that we X-Nauts must open the door first, do you not?"
 * “I trust your words, though I rapidly lose my patience.”
 * “Yes… I, Grodus, will build a new world! A perfect, ideal world… made by me, about me, and FOR me! GAAACK ACK ACK ACK ACK!”
 * “You blew it again, Lord Crump. You sicken me.”
 * “Stop talking, Lord Crump. You just stand by until my next order. And Lord Crump? Think of this as your last chance. Understand?”
 * “Then leave.”
 * “Tell them not to fail this time.”
 * “What is the matter with you idiots? Falling for a fake Crystal Star? That's asinine!”
 * "What is it, fool?!?"
 * "What?!? Tell me you're joking! Are you absolutely sure?!? Speak, soldier!"
 * "Hrrrrrrggh... TREASON!"
 * "Hold it right there, Princess Peach!"
 * “In my most paranoid moments, I never thought my own computer would betray me.”
 * “Gaaack ack ack ack ack! Only one thing to do with a malfunctioning computer! Cut the circuit and delete all the programs and data that caused that malfunction!”
 * “Gaaack ack ack ack! Too bad, Princess Peach. TEC is no longer with us.”
 * “Princess Peach…just stop it. This is no time to be worrying about a computer. We have some very important things for you to do now… Yes, VERY important… Gaaack ack ack ack!”
 * “We finally meet, Mario.”
 * “I've been looking forward to this, I must admit.”
 * “Yes…correct!!! I am the supreme leader of the secret society of X–Nauts! I am Grodus!”
 * “But I'm really getting ahead of myself. I really must express my thanks to you first…”
 * “And do you know why? You have gathered together all of the Crystal Stars I was seeking.”
 * “Gaaack ack ack ack ack! You just realize now, do you?”
 * “Yes, instead of taking the few Crystal Stars you fools had bumbled into…”
 * “It was far easier to let you find them all and open the Thousand–Year Door for me…”
 * “How kind of you to bring them here to me!”
 * “All I had to do was entrust the last Crystal Star to my least competent underling!”
 * “I don't suppose Crump had any idea of my plan though. Gaaack ack ack ack ack!”
 * “So, whether he beat you or lost to you…”
 * “The Crystal Stars would be together and mine either way! Pure genius!”
 * “Now, I thought the Shadow Sirens would do a little more to slow your progress…”
 * “But it appears they are so useless that even this small task was beyond them…”
 * “No matter… Now I get the pleasure of sending you to oblivion!”
 * “Once you fools are gone, no one will stand in my way! Grodus will rule the world!”
 * ''“Now, come!
 * ”Meet your ends, you meddlesome fools! You will know my power!“
 * ”So, you have the mettle to push me this far… But no more!“
 * ”Argh! You will not stop me! Take this!“
 * ”Guh! Fools!“
 * ”Unhh… No…“
 * ”Uuuuuuunhh… You are more than you seem… But this is not finished. I saw even this possibility.“
 * ”Watch THIS!“
 * ”Move one step, and she will breathe no more!!!“
 * ”Now try THIS!!!“
 * ”Gaaack ack ack ack ack! Now! AGAIN!“
 * ”Stop your blubbering! This is it! Meet your end!!“
 * ”WORM! You would dare defy me?!? Do you NOT care for the life of your pitiful princess?“
 * ”WH–WHAT?!?“
 * ”Too bad for you, Mario! You're too late!“
 * ”Gaack ack ack! Look well! In the coffin behind me sleeps the leagendary treasure!“
 * ”This tomb holds the soul of that ancient demon, the wielder of destruction…“
 * ”It will possess Peach's body and bring life to the most powerful witch in millenia!“
 * ”Gaaaack ack ack ack ack! With the power of the demon, I will rule this pathetic world!“
 * ”The time has come at last! The world will be mine!!“
 * ”Now, arise! Arrise! My Shadow Queen!“
 * ”It is I, my Shadow Queen!“
 * ”It is here! This girl who lies before you!“
 * ”Yes, my glorious witch queen… Destroy these impudent fools!“
 * ”Huh? What do you mean?!? I thought you were bound to obey the one who woke you!“
 * ”Enough of this prattle! Do as I say!!! NOW! Or I will send you back to the depths…“

Shadow Queen

 * ''”Who… has called me back?“
 * ''”You… Very well. Where is the vessel?“
 * ''”Ah, yes… A fine vessel she is. Now…“
 * ''”Muh huh huh huh! Witness my rebirth…“
 * ''”Who are you that would command me? What sort of being are you?“
 * ''”You would do well to learn your proper place, slave. No one commands me.“
 * ”Ah, Beldam… What ages have passed? I'll take it that you're the one truly responsible for bringing me back, yes?“
 * ”Muh huh huh… Very good. You have fulfilled your duties admirably.“
 * ”But who are these… beings who stand before me? They do not possess power, but they may be of some use. If you will become my faithful servants, then I will not harm you.“
 * "Yesss...You are obedient..."
 * "Good, my pet..."
 * "Now you are mine..."
 * "You will serve me for eternity."
 * ''”Then, you wretched fools… you will learn the error of your ways!“
 * "You are foolish to oppose me. Yesss... and that foolishness... will have to be punished..."
 * "Hmm... So, you are not weak. Maybe you are less useless than you appear."
 * "This body is unfamiliar to me... Yesss, too unfamiliar... Let me assume my true form and show you real power..."
 * "In this form, your attacks are like those of a child to me..."
 * "You are lucky... You will perish with the honor of having seen true terror and power! Muh huh huh huh huh huh!"
 * "Muh huh huh huh huh huh! Is that your idea of an attack? Foolish..."
 * "Hmmm... What a troublesome little pest you are. Muh huh huh huh huh..."
 * "Yesss... I have recovered from any slight damage you many have caused earlier..."
 * "And now... I will punish you for your resistance..."
 * ”I will ask you one last time… Will you serve me? If so, then I will forgive you for this…“
 * "Muh huh huh huh huh... Very well... Then you will perish."
 * "What... What is this?"
 * ”Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What... What are these vile voices?“
 * "What is this... light?"
 * ”Wh-What?!? You wretched little girl! You would disobey me?!?“
 * "You brat! Obey me, girl!"
 * "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Very cunning, princess! But you will not undo me!!! Know me as your queen!“
 * "Enough! This ends now!"
 * ”Wh-What... How is it possible that you can hurt me?“
 * ”Enough! This ends now!“
 * ”Foooooooools!“
 * ”Muh huh huh… You do not know what you have done…“
 * "Uuurghh... No... It... It cannot be... How..."
 * ”Th–This cannot be! I can't be beaten by lesser beings such as these…! I've just… been reborn into this world! I cannot… I MUST not…! AAAAAIIIIYYYYEEE!!!“

 * "Mm=hmm! A) Find that Mario guy and B) steal the map to the Crystal Stars, right?"
 * "We can just do away with Mario and his friends, can't we? Or is that bad?"
 * "Oh! What, you mean this? I found it near that tree over there a while back."
 * "Isn't it a gorgeous necklace? It was so lovely... I just HAD to pick it up!"
 * "Eeep! Wh-What?"
 * "I... I don't have that!"
 * "You said it was way too important, so you took it. You should have it..."

 * "But I do appreciate your offer. Thank you."
