Goomboss/Goomba King

 * Mario! Good fight and all that! I must warn you, however, if you happen to find a switch, you definitely should not press it. It's very dangerous! W-WHAT!? You already pressed it!?"

General Guy

 * "So, you came, did you? I'm General Guy. We're following the orders of King Bowser by guarding a Star Spirit. As long as we keep it secure, we have permission to do what ever we want. You hear!? I don't care for you, sir. You are rude, and furthermore, you're trespassing in here. Our Toy Box is off limits for the likes of you! The treasures inside this box are for Shy Guys only! And that Star Spirit's fate is none of your business! Prepare to fight me, sir! TASTE DEFEAT! CHARGE!!"

 * "Looks like there's gonna be some fighting here... see ya!"

Huff N. Puff

 * "Are you a man named Mario? Did you or did you not break [the] Puff Puff Machine? You completely ruined my plan to cover Flower Fields with clouds! You see, I was going to change this sunlight-blasted place into a cloud-covered paradise! But I wouldn't expect a man of YOUR intellect to understand."
 * "Is that you, Spike!? So, you have betrayed me! I'll never give up the Star Spirit to the likes of you! You will both be punished for your crimes!"
 * "Yes! Take him!"
 * "I've got a surprise attack. Just give me a little time to prepare."

Jr. Troopa

 * "Hey! This is MY playground, idiots!!"

 * ''"Shoot! I was winning, too!"'
 * "I'll be back, Mario! I mean it!"
 * "Of course, you remember me?"

 * "GOSH!"

Kammy Koopa

 * "Congratulations on your victory, Your Viciousness! That's why you're the king!"
 * "The Goomba King was small-time. I had a feeling he'd fail."
 * "As long as you hold the Star Rod in your hands, you could defeat Mario with one claw tied behind your back!"
 * "Sell it, Koopa Bros.! Show our king that technique you do so well!"
 * "And you call yourself a hero? Did you think we were foolish enough to sit back while you save all the Star Spirits? I have constructed a device that increases Bowser's power, where even the power of the Star Spirits can't compare! Now, King Bowser will truly be invincible, thanks to my wisdom! Are you ready, my king? Then power up!"
 * "Why, you insolent little Star Kid!"
 * "You little whipper-snapper! You're too young to fight me!"
 * "Nyeah heh ho ha... Did I just feel a breeze, or was that really your attack?"
 * "Why does it seem like this Star Kid is getting stronger!?"
 * "Wait, I remember now! Stars get their power from ordinary peoples' wishes! Peach's wishes must be making him stronger! Oh... Oh, no!!"
 * "Forgive me, Lord Bowser, I have failed you..."
 * "We must flee, my evil king!"

Kolorado

 * "Barely knicked me, old boy..."
 * "What's that sound? Kids with fireworks, no doubt!"
 * "By the Stars, I'll risk my life for that treasure!"
 * "Ah-ha! Treasure! No, wait... Some sort of starfish??"
 * "Old man, you are simply the cat's meow!"
 * "I hearby declare this adventure to be a complete success!"
 * "This tuna-ferring experience, I shan't do again. I'm in your debt, though."
 * "Oh, what poppycock! Balderdash! Don't be daft, dear boy! It would be terribly impolite to turn down such an invitation! It would ruin the party if the hero of Koopa Village, nay, the Mushroom Kingdom weren't there! Go to that party this instant, and don't spare me another thought!"
 * "Puh...Puh... Parakarry! Why didn't you tell me this sooner!? This is a crisis, old boy! I must away with all due speed!"

Kooper

 * "I don't even care that I have no shell on! I'm gonna show those Fuzzies what's what!"
 * "I, Kooper, will follow you to the ends of the Earth!"
 * "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
 * "Why, that's ridiculous! I'm the genuine Kooper!"
 * "That's fine with me!"
 * "I believe in you, Mario. We go away back..."
 * "Don't be such a crybaby! You lost! What were you thinking, trying to trick Mario like that!?"
 * "I knew you'd get it right, Mario! Those were some of the worst disguises ever!"
 * "Thanks. I knew you'd say that, Prof. Kolorado! You're so kind and generous!"

Lady Bow

 * "You would have had to fight Tubba Blubba to save this Star Spirit anyway, right?"
 * "He's a madman! He'll eat every last one of you!"
 * "Blech! You wish, you ghost-gobbling freak!"
 * "Who is this child? He must be lost, or something. What a dirty little urchin..."
 * "I swear on my own grave! Mario's innocent!"

Lakilester

 * ''"My name is Lakilester... Er, no, it's Michael... No, um... Oh yeah... Spike. Yeah yeah, I'm Spike... Well whatever. Never mind."
 * "Don't call me Lakilester! It's Spike! Remember? You never listen to me! But I guess that's why you're so cute. I mean, ahhh! Did I say out loud!? Forget I said that!"
 * "Hey, I've got a question, man. What in the world are you doing all this fighting for, anyway?"
 * "World peace? Isn't that a bit melodramatic? But still, I gotta admit that there's a certainly manly charm to having such a noble purpose."
 * "You're so much cuter when you show me those pearly whites."
 * "Bwa ha ha! Look at those chumps run away!"
 * "Helping people... I could get used to this, man."

Lakilulu

 * "Please have mercy on my poor, sweet Lakilester!"
 * "He was just following Huff N. Puff's orders! Will you forgive him?"
 * "He's really sweet! Please don't take my Lakilester away from me!!"
 * "Oh, you'll forgive him? Oh, thank you!"
 * How are you doing, Lakilester? Are you becoming a better Lakitu by helping people?"

Luigi

 * "Hey, Mario! We got a letter from Princess Peach!"
 * "Well, Mario, I guess you better get going."
 * "What a magnificent castle! I never get used to this place."
 * "Say, Mario, why don't you go see Princess Peach? I'll go later. I'm thinking I'll mingle for now."

Merlon

 * "Merlon is out!"
 * "Why do you keep knocking!? I said Merlon is out!"
 * "Reveal your true selves!"

Mr. Hammer

 * "I don't know. Nobody knows. That's why it's a secret, you half-wit!"
 * "Sorry, Princess Peach!"

Parakarry

 * "Mail call!"
 * "The name's Parakarry. I deliver letters."
 * "Oh, confound it!"
 * "Thank you so much! Now, I've got all the letters I've lost... today."
 * "You're [insert name here], correct? I believe I have a letter for you. Hang on..."
 * "Another letter, duly delivered. A postman's job is never done."
 * "Another letter, duly delivered. A postman's work is never done."
 * "I sure am! This isn't a social call!"
 * "Oh, and Kolorado. I have a message for you, as well. 'Don't bother coming home, you wandering buffoon! What a no-good husband!' That... was a message from your wife. You set off on this expedition again without telling her, didn't you? She was SOOOO furious."

Princess Peach

 * ''"Oh Mario! You came to the party to see me! You're so sweet! Thank you!"
 * ''"Sniffle...Mario's probably hurt...Everyone's in prison...The Mushroom Kingdom will be destroyed if things continue the way they're going."
 * "Haven't you learned your lesson by now, Bowser!"

Red Ninjakoopa

 * "Oh yeah! We're the coolest of the cool!"
 * "Well, well, well! If it isn't Mario! I never expected that you'd make it up here! Pffft! Don't get smug, pal! We'll mop the floor with you if we get serious!"
 * "Oh, for the love of...! What are you DOING, Yellow? That does NOT look cool at all!"
 * "Remember to look cool, guys!"
 * "A lasting impression, yeah! We were too cool to forget!"
 * "Don't think we're like before! We've increased our power beyond our wildest dreams! After you trounced us the other day, we trained all day, every day, and we learned a cool new technique! We're not just the Koopa Bros... We're the Super Ultra Mighty Koopa Bros. the Great!! Check out our coolness!"

Sushie

 * "So, you're looking for those little rascals, as well!"
 * "You must have one heck of a story behind you, Mario."
 * "You'll be roasted to a golden brown! I do NOT approve of this!"
 * "Uh-huh... Oh... Oh! You're going to the volcano, because you want to save the princess, from some bad guys? What...a touching story! Romantic stories like that... just touch a soft spot in this heart of mine. That does it! I can't let you go alone! I, Sushie, will be by your side until the end!"
 * "Do you REALLY think Mario is capable of something like this? Think about it."
 * "I don't fancy the idea of becoming a fried fish!"

The Master

 * "To battle!"
 * "Mario, you will fall!"
 * "Hmm, nice manuever."
 * "Hm! You have great hidden strength for one clothed like a plumber."
 * "Kuwaaaaa! Behold my fury, Mario!!"
 * "Now...it is time I've stopped being so merciful."
 * "You underestimate me, Mario! Did you really think you'd would win?"
 * "Hmmm! Noble Mario! You have bested me, The Master, the strongest of fighters! Since you have beaten me at my full strength, I give you this with respect."

Tubba Blubba/Tubba's Heart

 * "Five more minutes, mom."
 * "I smell delicious ghosts! Open the dooooooor!"
 * "I can't let you out, knowing the secret of my 'invincible' body. I'm sorry, but here we go!"
