 * ''"Nothing makes me happier than a smile from you, Peach."
 * ''"That jerk, Mario just beat the Koopa Bros. and Tutankoopa. Sure, they were complete wimps, but they were still loyal to me. I can't forgive Mario for disrespecting me!"

Crystal King

 * "Are you aware there's a Dojo in Toad Town? There is!"

Eldstar

 * "Welcome, Mario! We've been waiting for you."

 * "The other day, Bowser and his followers invaded our peaceful Star Haven. They stole our prized treasure, the Star Rod, which we've cared for since the beginning of time."
 * "In order to take the Star Rod back from Bowser...and save Princess Peach... we need your help... Please, Mario... you are our last hope... and we will..."

Fice T.

 * "Brrrrrrrr... Juh...Just now, a ghost passed right in front of me... Uhhh...You saw it, didn't you?"
 * "I...I'm not the only one!!"
 * "Over there!!!!!"
 * "No, no, the other way---!!!"
 * "It went into the forest!"
 * "Ma... Mario, this madness has to end. Will you go into the forest and see what's going on? I'm ashamed to say it's my job, but I just can't go. I'm too frightened of ghosts! Puh... Please, I'm begging you."

Fishmael

 * "'Tis no use, tryin' ter fish with no caterpillar..."

Goombario

 * "Hey Mario! I'm Goombario. I'm your biggest fan!"
 * "Mario, I know all about your adventures around the world. You've been everywhere! And you always get the best of the bad guys. Everytime! You're the coolest! I wanna be just like you!"
 * "Seriously, you don't know what this means for me to meet you."
 * "I study self-defense by reading books from the masters...."
 * "Be quiet, Goombaria! You're embarrassing me! Of course, it IS true..."
 * "Mario could beat Bowser with one arm tied behind his back!"
 * "She's incredible! I think I'm in love! Pinch me, will you, Mario?"
 * "Mario... It looks like things are a lot more serious than I thought... Do you think the princess is going to be all right? I'm really worried about her."
 * "There he goes again. What a brave little guy."
 * "He looks adorable hiding in his little egg, doesn't he? So cute!"
 * "Ah, a rival for her affection! Just joking."
 * "I'm more interested in his assistant. She's cute!"
 * "Boy, she makes me see stars!"
 * "See you later, Parakarry! Keep working hard, buddy!"
 * "Jeepers! This is an invitation to a party at Princess Peach's castle!"
 * "You always seem to beat up your enemies... Do you even lift?"

Goomboss

 * "So, Mario, it's true! You've made it this far."
 * "I respect you for that."
 * "Unfortunately, this is as far as you'll ever get."
 * "Because I, the great and powerful King Goomba, will see to it that you advance no farther!"
 * "Ready to meet my wrath, Mario? You'd better be!!"
 * "Leave him to me!"
 * "Wh...wh...what!?"
 * "How could I lose?"
 * "Red Goomba, you're positive that you hid the switch well, right?"
 * "Outside the...You idiot! You didn't hide it in here? Mario will find it for sure!"
 * "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!......you what? You already pressed it!?"
 * "Oh nooo!!!"

Goompapa

 * "If it's at all possible for you, could you deliver this to a Toad named Muss T.? He hangs around the castle garden."
 * "I'd really appreciate 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!!"
 * "Grrr! My high-tech tank defenses don't seem to stand up to that electric attack! Quit doing that! It's... it's too powerful! You're breaking the rules of war!"
 * "You beat my infantry, but that's ALL you'll do!"
 * "Stand your ground, men!"
 * "You men make me sick!"

Green Ninjakoopa

 * "Most of all, though, you shouldn't go ask old man Merlon for help. That would be bad for us, I mean, you."
 * "Ha! Let's see the great Mario get any further, now!"
 * "Looks like there's gonna be some fighting here... see ya!"

Guard Door

 * "Bloooaaahhhhhhh!!!! Welcome, worm! I'm called the Guard Door of Bowser's Castle. It's my job to keep suspicious types from entering. You must be Mario. Let me guess... Do you want to go through here? Hmm? You want to get to the other side of this wall, right?"
 * "Well, if you don't want to go through here, then you're just wasting my time. Go away! Now!"
 * "What's the matter with you? You want to go through here, don't you?"
 * "Are you standing squarely in front of me? OK... Then...I'll let you go through."
 * "Gaaaah ha ha ha ha!! You fell for it, worm! You'll never escape from that impenetrable prison! Try all you like! All you'll do is exhaust yourself! I'll tell you what: If you make it back up here, I'll let you go through. How's that? Ahhh ha ha ha! I know you'll never make it! I hope you have a good time shaking and crying down there! Gah ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

Huff N. Puff

 * "Are you a man named Mario? And did you or did you not break one Puff Puff Machine? What possessed you to do that? You completely ruined my plan to cover Flower Fields in clouds! You see, I was going to change this sunlight-blasted place into a cloud-covered paradise! But I can't expect a man of your intellect to understand…"
 * "Is that you, Spike!? So! You have betrayed me! You will be punished. I'll never give up the Star Spirit to the likes of you! You will both be punished for your crimes!"
 * "I must tell you, King Bowser ordered me to defeat you if you showed your face…but I'd take you down even if it weren't a direct order! You cloud-destroying pest! You can't save the Star Spirit! Gahh ha ha ha ha ha!!! Here comes the storm!"
 * "Yes, take him!"
 * "You asked for it...Now you'll witness the full power of my storm!"
 * "I've got a surprise attack. Just give me a little time to prepare."
 * "No!! I cannot lose!!"

Jr. Troopa

 * "Hey! Who are you guys!? This is MY playground, idiots! Nobody sets foot in here without my permission! Nobody!"
 * "Prepare to start crying at the feet of Master Jr. Troopa!"
 * "Grrrr!! I'm just getting warmed up!"
 * "All right, you asked for it! Say hello to Jr. Troopa's special attack! Full power!!"
 * "Shoooooot!! I was winning, too! I'll be back, Mario! I mean it, I'll be back!!"
 * "I told you I'd be back! Now I'll get my revenge! Here it comes, baby! Check this out!"
 * "Mario! I'm talking to you! I promise you, this fight will be much different from before!"
 * "Shut up!!!!! You! Mario!! Of course you remember me!?"
 * "That's right! Darn tootin'! I'm Jr. Troopa! This time, you're really gonna see some fireworks!"
 * "Listen, you big lug! I'm Jr. Troopa! Remember it after this next beating!"
 * "Get ready to hurt, Mario! I'm gonna show you a new skill I just picked up!"
 * "Yeah! Check that out! You've never seen anything like it before, have you? Your attacks are useless now!"
 * "Yeeowch!! Who knew that Mario had such battle skills? Grrr...it's not over yet, though! Yaaaaaaaahhh!!!!!"
 * "Shut up! Shut uuuuuupp! I'm not a lost child! I'm your worst nightmare! Here comes the pain!"
 * "Meet the new, improved Jr. Koopa!"
 * "Darn it, darn it, darn iiiiiiitt!"
 * "Shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 * "I'll... never... go... swimming... again... for the rest... of my life!"
 * "I've learned some coooool techniques!"
 * "Hey, Mario, you like magic tricks? Well, you won't like this one!"
 * "Finally, at long last, I'll settle my score with you!"
 * "This is it, the final fight! Only one of us is walking away from this battle!"
 * "Don't think you've won, Mario! I swear to you, I'm gonna beat you SO bad next time!"
 * "GOSH!"

Kalmar

 * "Alas... We've nearly exhausted our power to talk to you. Although it looks like we're there beside you, it is only an illusion. We've using all of our strength to communicate with you over a great distance. But even now, our strength is fading..."
 * "We've been caught and are being held by Bowser's followers in different places throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Please, Mario, first of all, you must rescue us!"

Kammy Koopa

 * "Congratulations on your victory, Your Viciousness! That's why you're the king!"
 * "I am a beautiful Koopa with a beautiful name, Kammy Koopa!"
 * "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!"
 * "Nyeah heh heh heh!!! Ooh, I can't wait until Mario gets here! He's gonna get beaten so bad! He'll probably start crying! Then King Bowser and I will laugh and laugh! Come and get it, Mario! Nyeah heh heh ha!!!!!"
 * "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!"

Kent C. Koopa

 * "I've come back! I'm sure you missed me! I've got a foolproof plan for coins. See you on the road! Kent C. Koopa" (Message on sign)
 * "Hey, you in the hat! Wait!"
 * "It's fine weather, isn't it? My name is Kent C. Koopa. Please remember it, OK?"
 * "If you want to use this road, you need to pay me 100 coins. So sorry, but that's how it is. You don't pay, you don't pass."
 * "Coins make the world go round. It's all about the money!"
 * "Oh, you don't have any coins? Then you can't go through." (Not enough coins)
 * "Bring some coins next time."
 * "Then you can't go through here. Tough luck. Take off." (Refusing to pay)
 * "Oh, you changed your mind, and now you'll pay the coins?" (When talking after refusing)
 * "Good doing business with you! Oh, the jingle of coins is so very beautiful." (When paying)
 * "Here, go ahead. See you again sometime!"
 * "You want to fight? You're nuts! Look at me! I'll cream you!" (When challenging Kent)
 * "Because, to be frank, I'm very, very, very strong. Are you sure you want to fight?"
 * "Well, I have no choice... I warned you, though. This may hurt a little bit..."
 * "Wow. You must be really strong. I mean, beating a guy my size?"
 * "I guess I have to give up. See you later..."

Klevar

 * "Once we 7 Star Spirits are reunited in Star Haven, we can give you the power to fight Bowser even with his newfound strength. With our help, you can prevail!"

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

 * "Hey, man! I don't think we've ever met, have we? I mean, you're Mario, right?"
 * ''"My name is Lakilester... Er, no, it's Michael... No, um... Oh yeah... Spike. Yeah yeah, I'm Spike... Well whatever. Never mind."
 * "Look, I don't have a problem with you personally, but I've got orders from Huff N. Puff"
 * "Sorry, man, but I have to give you a bit of a beat down. Like I said, man, sorry!"
 * "(...Did I sound cool?)"
 * "(Yeah, totally cool!)"
 * "Here it comes, man!!"
 * "Uuurgh!! Man, you're tough as nails! I give up, man!"
 * "Go on...do your worst. I'm not afraid of it."
 * "Do whatever you do to guys you've defeated...Fire Flower in the eye...POW Block..."
 * "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."
 * ''"Darn it, I told you not to call me Lakilester! Gah! You never listen to me! ...But that's why you're so cute.

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?"

Lava Piranha

 * "BLECK HYUCK HYUCK YUCK!"
 * "YOU MADE IT, MARIO!"
 * "YOU GUYS...BAD GUYS!"
 * "BAD GUYS COME TO STEAL STAR SPIRIT!"
 * "BAD GUYS WHO COME TO STEAL STAR SPIRIT GET HURT!"
 * "WE DON'T LET IT HAPPEN! NO!"
 * "WE TRAP STAR SPIRIT!"
 * "WE GET THIS VOLCANO!"
 * "VOLCANO IS OURS!"
 * "GOOD DEAL!"
 * "WE MAKE THINGS HOT FOR YOU!"
 * "WE BEAT YOU, MARIO!"

Luigi

 * "Hey, Mario! We got a letter from Princess Peach!"
 * "''I'll read it to you, OK?'""
 * "''All right, let's see...'""
 * "Well, Mario, I guess you better get going."
 * "What a magnificent castle! I never get used to this place. It looks like lots of guests are already here."
 * "Say, Mario, why don't you go see Princess Peach? I'll go later. I'm thinking I'll mingle for now."
 * "If you press in front of the door up there, you can open it."
 * "I wonder what my brother Mario is doing right now..."
 * "Mario! It's you! It's great to see you!"
 * "Oh? And who are you?"
 * "I see. Great, just great. You're on an exciting adventure with Mario. Talk about unfair. See, someone has to look after this house, so I can't leave. Oh well. Take care of Mario, OK?"
 * "Good luck, Mario! You just have to save that princess!"
 * "Princess Peach, still stuck up there in the sky... C'mon, Mario! You're a hero, bro! You have to go up there to rescue her!"

Mamar

 * "The Star Rod... is powerful beyond belief. It can grant any wish. For as long as we can remember, Bowser has been making wishes like, for instance... 'I'd like to trounce Mario' or 'I want Princess Peach to like me.' Of course, Stars ignore such selfish wishes. As a result, his wishes were never granted."

Merlon

 * "Merlon is out!"
 * "Why do you keep knocking!? I said Merlon is out!"
 * "Where to begin...? My name...is Merlon. I am a wizard. When I was reading the stars the other day, an oracle came to me. What I discovered is very important, and it concerns you. But, before I tell you about it, there are other things of which I must speak. It is a very long story, but I'll try to shorten it. Where should I start...? It was in the old days. One of my ancestors was up on Shooting Star Summit and as usual... ......but one day it happened. ...suddenly...a great... ...appeared and I... ...standing face to face... Then, the faraway.... the pious... was....raised me up... .....was amazing.. ..I was still so young then... I believed in ......... But....our hearts were..... ........... and........... .....then.... ...........so....."
 * "Reveal your true selves!"
 * "If you want me to predict your future, talk to me from across the table."
 * "Hm? Who's it from?"
 * "Hmmmmm... Oh, my granddaughter, Merlee! She recently entered the family business."
 * "Umph... Is that so? Oh, I see. Interesting..."
 * "She opened up her business at Dry Dry Outpost, deep in the desert."
 * "It's located somewhere quiet off the main drag."
 * "She seems to be keeping busy. That's good to hear."
 * "Thanks so much for bringing this letter. I'll give you this."

Misstar

 * "Sadly... right now, you are not strong enough to challenge Bowser... he has made himself all-powerful by making wishes with the Star Rod. He is terrible to behold!"

Monstar

 * "Tuuuuurn back."
 * "Cooooome no farther."
 * "Tuuuurn away, or I'll eat you!"
 * "Whaaaaat do you think?"
 * "Scaaaary monster, aren't I?"
 * ''"Youuu know you want yo run..."
 * "Whaaat! Youuuu will regret this!"
 * "Noooo! Ruuuuun away!"

Mr. Hammer

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

Muskular

 * "It is the responsibility of the 7 Star Spirits to keep the Star Rod safe and use it properly. We must get the Star Rod back from Bowser and return it to its rightful place! In order to do this, Mario, we need your help!"

Muss T.

 * "I beg of you, Mario! Save all those poor captives in the castle!"
 * "Oh, it's from Mr. Goompapa. That old codger! We think alike, he and I."
 * "It's been ages sine I saw him. Too long, indeed!"
 * "This reminds me... I was just thinking about sending a letter to one of my friends."
 * "Your timing is perfect. This letter is to my friend."
 * "His name is Koover, and he lives in Koopa Village. I'd like you to deliver this to him."
 * "I'll bet he's near the entreance to the village."
 * "He usually hangs out in front of the Toad House that's right on the edge of town."
 * "No big rush, but it would be nice if he got it soon."

Oaklie

 * "Hmm... What do you think you're going?"
 * "This is Forever Forest... The path ahead of here is extremely dangerous."
 * "Didn't you know that? You'd better go back."
 * "Um-kay. So that's your story. You're invited to Boo's Mansion."
 * "You may pass, then."
 * "Listen carefully..."
 * "If you want to get through this forest, you have to pay really close attention to your surroundings."
 * "If you choose the wrong paths, you'll end up back at the forest edge before you know it."
 * "The areas around the correct paths will always look slightly different from the others. Watch carefully for clues."
 * "For example, in this area, take a good look at the inner trees as you walk around."
 * "In one of them, you'll spot strange, glowing eyes. The exit near that tree is the path you want to take."
 * "These clues will be different in other parts of the forest. Watch the inner forest very, very carefully as you go."

Parakarry

 * "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."

 * "Hey! Helloooooo? Somebody, let us outta here!"
 * "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!"

 * "Waaah! Help me!"
 * "Ok, guys! All together now! Let's rush him! Chaaaaarge!!!"
 * "We're gonna lose!! On, no! We've gotta run!"
 * "Yes, sir!!!!!"

Skolar

 * "Bowser...that fiend... When he found out that we were ignoring his wishes, he came and stole the Star Rod so he could grant his own wishes."
 * He seems content right now, mainly because he defeated you and captured the princess. Soon enough, though, I fear he will wish for more...and then terrible things will happen."''

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

 * "For what purpose do you come here today?"
 * "It is time you've fought The Master."
 * "To battle!"
 * "Mario, you will fall!"
 * "Hmm, nice maneuver."
 * "Excellent move."
 * "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 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."

 * "Do you know how to cook, Mario? You really ought to learn how." - Tayce T.'s assistant

Tubba Blubba/Tubba Blubba's Heart

 * "Mm, I could use a snack."
 * "A little tangy, but good."
 * "I sure don't want to make King Bowser angry. He's scary. I know he made me invincible, but if I screw up, he might change me back to normal."
 * "Five more minutes, mom."
 * "I smell delicious ghosts! Open the dooooooor!"
 * "Who are you?"
 * "What!? Mario!?"
 * "Did someone ... ...tell you that I'm the secret strength of Tubba Blubba!?"
 * "Someone spilled the beans that the Tubba Blubba in the castle is just a shell and..."
 * "...I'm controlling it from here!?"
 * "You can't trust anybody!"
 * "I can't let you out, knowing the secret of my 'invincible' body. I'm sorry, but here we go!"
 * "Hey, you! Lady ghost! Stick around after the battle! Fighting makes me hungry!"
 * "Heh... I'm gonna charge up this great attack. It's impossible to avoid."
 * "Owwwweeee! Oh, I'm hurting! I have to get out of here!"
 * "It's time to reunite!"
 * "Oh, yeah! Now I'm feeling good! With my heart and body united, there's no way to beat me!"
 * "OUCH!"
 * "Oh, nooooo... With my heart and body united, I'm not invincible anymore! I'm back to 'Not Invincible Tubba Blubba'... That's so lame! Look, I give up! I'll free all the ghosts I ate! Forgive me!"
 * "I'm actually a really sensitive guy, trapped in a huge body. I don't wanna be invincible anymore if I have to fight guys like you!"

Tutankoopa

 * "I'm the huge, scary Tutankoopa! Remorseless king of the desert! Who dares set foot in this, my palace of sands? Speak and be known! Begone from this place! Now! Or disaster will befall you!"
 * "Fool! You have ignored my warning, haven't you? You fool! You will fall to my legions and become a mummy of the sands!"
 * "Turn back, thief! Your time is running out! If you do not retreat, you'll be in grave trouble! I do not lie! You will regret it!"
 * "This is your final warning! Enough of this foolishness! Leave at once!"
 * "You!! You ignored all those very scary warnings! Don't you have the common sense to get scared and run away? What's wrong with you!? You shouldn't mess with Tutankoopa, a faithful follower of King Bowser! Ooops... I mean... You shall regret this!"
 * "Come, Chomp! Come! Bite this intruder!"
 * "Bleah heh heh heh... I'm a magical genius! Watch, and be amazed!"

 * "Waah! What're you...ow! Help!"

 * "I hear you saved the honorable Star Spirit who was captured by the Koopa Bros.! Bowser and his gang are so angry about it! I knew you could do it, Mario! You're on your way!"
 * "But enough celebration for now. I come bearing important information for you. It seems that one of the Star Spirits is being held captive in Dry Dry Desert. Bowser wrote it in his diary. Some place called Dry Dry Ruins. The princess braved the dangers of the castle to get you this clue, Mario! If we find anything else, I'll hurry back to tell you."
 * "I have to go back to Her Highness now. She's so brave! I hope this news helps!"
 * "You big... Koopa! Show some respect for the princess!"
 * "I... I'm not afraid of you!"

 * "You saved me from the mean guy who laughed like, "Wee hee hee!" "
 * "I gotta make it up to you! I'll go with you, Mario, OK?"
 * "I heard the, um, Shy Guys saying that you're trying to save the princess from Bowser."
 * "You're super great! You're the greatest great guy! I think you're the best!"
 * "So, um, I really want to help. I'll be good, really!"

 * "I won't and I won't and I won't!"
 * "You can't!"
 * "You'll have to go through me if you wanna get past!"
 * "Hey, didn't you hear me?"
 * "I said I'm not budging, you got that?"
 * "Do you have any idea how mad the Crystal King will get if I let you pass here?"
 * "I don't want him mad at me, so I have to teach you a lesson!"

Yakkey

 * "Hi there! I'm Yakkey..."
 * "...a faithful and chatty follower of Master Tubba Blubba! My very important job is to guard his valuables!"
 * "But...? You don't look like Master Tubba Blubba at all!"
 * "...That means you've come here to steal me, the magical key that unlocks the door to Windy Mill at the foot of Gusty Gulch?"
 * "And furthermore, your goal is to find out if there's a secret inside that Windy Mill?"
 * "... You're a very honest person, aren't you?"

 * "We'll make them fear the power of my Puff Puff Machine"
 * "Hey! Stop that! The Puff Puff Machine is extremely delicate!"
 * "You might break it!"
 * "I said don't hit it!"
 * "Don't you realize that if the Puff Puff Machine breaks, we won't be able to make clouds, and blue skies will return?"
 * "You think it's easy to fill the sky with clouds?"
 * "...Oh, my... You're... Ma...Ma...Mario!!!"
