Super Mario Bros. 3

• "One toot on this whistle will send you to a far away land!"

Super Mario 64

• "Am I glad to see you! The Princess...and I...and, well, everybody...we're all trapped inside the castle walls. Bowser has stolen the castle's Stars, and he's using their power to create his own world in the paintings and walls. Please recover the Power Stars! As you find them, you can use their power to open the doors that Bowser has sealed. There are four rooms on the first floor. Start in the one with the painting of Bob-omb inside. It's the only room that Bowser hasn't sealed. When you collect eight Power Stars, you'll be able to open the door with the big star. The Princess must be inside!"

• "Piece of cake."
• "Already for a mushroom!"
• "Just what I needed!"
• "Super Mario USA!" (Japanese version)
• "Super Mario 2!" (Western version)

Super Mario 64 DS

• (to Yoshi) "Thank heavens you came too, Yoshi! Bowser has locked Princess Toadstool and all of us inside the walls. He stole our Power Stars, and is using their magic to create an evil land of monsters in the castle walls and paintings. Mario and his buddies went to retrieve the Stars, but they haven't come back. Last time I saw them, they were heading to the room with the painting of the Bob-ombs. Where are they?! Are they taking a nap somewhere? Now it's up to you, Yoshi, to find them and retrieve the Stars! We all are depending on you!"
• (to Mario) "Mario! Am I glad to see you! I hadn't seen you in so long, that I was getting worried! Looks like you met up with Yoshi all right, huh? You better get back to finding the Power Stars. Princess Toadstool is depending on you! You are our only hope."
• (with Mario's cap) "Mario, I found this cap in front of the castle a little while ago. You look really good in it, so here you go!"
• (to Luigi) "Huh? Who are you? Oh, yes...Luigi, right? You're always in Mario's shadow, so I didn't recognize you at first. Princess Toadstool is still trapped inside the walls. Won't you please retrieve the Power Stars, Luigi? But don't get in Mario's way or anything."
• (with Luigi's cap) "Luigi, I found this cap in front of the castle a little while ago. You must have dropped it. If you want to become a full-fledged hero like your brother, you can't be so careless!"
• (to Wario) "Eek! Oh, i-it's you, Wario. You're looking as bad as ever. S-sorry! Sorry! Don't give me that dirty look. A-actually, now that I look closer, you look horrible. Erm, horribly healthy that is. I'm not just saying that. Have you been working out? Princess Toadstool is still trapped in the walls. We're all counting on your muscle to defeat Bowser and get the Power Stars. Wait a minute. You wouldn't sneak one out of the castle, right? Eek! J-just kidding!"
• (with Wario's cap) "Wario, I found this cap in front of the castle a little while ago. I knew it was yours because of its distinctive...erm...aroma. Actually, it reeked pret-ty bad. I can't believe I touched it. You really should wash that thing more often. Anyways, here you go."
• (to Yoshi) "Yoshi! Mario and the others just jumped into that picture. But...they haven't come back out, despite the castle's plight. Despite all that, it's really rude to act like a maniac. Use the Touch Screen to run and walk even on narrow ledges."
• (to Mario) "Mario, Yoshi jumped in that picture chasing you. Did he find you? The mountain in that picture looks like a great place to relax. I bet it's a peaceful land, with no strife."
• (to Luigi) "Luigi, I heard that you can run on water for brief periods. That's just incredible! I have a new respect for you, seriously. Oh! I know! Can you show me a backward somersault? Spin, spin, SUPERSPIN!"
• (to Wario) "Wario, it's impolite to shuffle noisily around the castle, you know. No matter how tough you look...it's...umm...prohibited."
• (to Yoshi) "Bowser took all the Stars I tried to hide here. There are 7 in each course. You'll need your buddies to get some of them. Teamwork goes a long way when you're going up against Bowser."
• (to Mario) "Mario, why don't you triple jump into the painting? It's such a stylish move! I'll watch it from here."
• (to Luigi) "What?! You're Luigi? The world's most inept and least charismatic brother? Wow! Can you introduce me to Mario? Huh? Did we meet the other day? I totally forgot. You're not very memorable. I guess your brother got all the charisma in the family, huh!"
• (to Wario) "Your reputation's bad, Wario, but only because your mustache is mean looking. If you ask me, it's a good look. It'll scare the enemies into forking over the stolen Power Stars!"
• (to Yoshi) "The Star you chose at the beginning of the course appears on the map below. The name of the Star is also a clue. You can also collect Stars that don't appear on the map. Get the Stars in any order you like. Keep in mind though...Some Stars only appear when you choose specific missions, enemies, and items. Once you've retrieved some Stars, move on to the door to the next course. Everyone's waiting for you to save us!"
• (to Mario) "Being imprisoned in these walls can drive a fungus crazy. When I really start to freak out, I think to myself, "Well, I'm going to be here for a while, so I might as well stare at the fish. They are oddly hypnotic." Then I actually start to like being captured............Aaaguugh! IT'S MADNESS! I've got to snap out of this! You have to free us before we're all completely brainwashed! ...But for now, why don't you gaze at the fish with me. You look tense. Come relax."
• (to Luigi) "Sometimes when I'm staring at the fish, I think I wouldn't mind staying here forever. It helps me forget about my horrible fate. Would you like to join me and watch together? It'll soothe you."
• (to Wario) "Wario?! Eek! There are no valuables in here, so please don't hurt me. I'm serious! Why don't you just sit down and stare at the fish with me?"
• (to Yoshi) "That dinosaur-skin look is so aeons ago. You know, even a cap would really spice up your look. Come back when you get one, because I have advice for the fashionably dressed."
• (to Mario) "Even if all the caps look the same, the one you've been wearing for years is special. Your luck will run out if you lose it. When you lose your cap, hitting a ? Block is very unlucky. But don't worry. You can find your cap in the course where you lost it. It should appear on the map below."
• (to Luigi) "Luigi, even if all the caps look the same, the one you've been wearing for years is special. Don't lose it or your luck will run out. If you lose your cap, hitting a ? Block will spell disaster! But don't worry too much. If you lose your cap, you'll find it in the course where you lost it--just look at the map below."
• (to Wario) "Wario, just because the caps look the same, the one you've been wearing for years is special. Your luck will turn bad without it. Don't count on your devilishly good luck to bail you out of this one, Wario. Without your cap, you'll only get trouble from the ? Block. You can find your lost cap in the course where you lost it. It should appear on the map below."
• (to Yoshi) "Wow! You've recovered that many Stars? Way to go, Yoshi! I knew I could count on you. You'll have us out of here in no time! Be careful, though. Bowser and his band are getting desperate. Here's a tip to help you out: When you fall from a high place, you can avoid getting hurt if you pound the ground before you land."
• (to Mario) "Wow! You've recovered that many Stars? Way to go! You'll have us out of here in no time! Be careful, though. Bowser and his band wrote the book on bad. Take my advice: When you fall from a high place, it'll hurt less if you ground-pound near the ground. If you go back to your room, you can switch places with Yoshi. Everyone deserves a chance to shine."
• (to Luigi) "Wow! You've recovered that many Stars? Way to go, Mario! ...What? You're Luigi? I don't believe it. Luigi couldn't have pulled off such an impressive feat! Stop trying to fool me, Mario! You might be wearing green clothes...But don't think I can't tell you two apart. Fine. If you're really Luigi, you'll be able to spin in the air after a backward somersault. You'll also have the amazing agility and be able to run on water for a second. You'll also be able to scuttle in Standard Mode by holding B. When I see you do all that, maybe then I'll believe you're Luigi!"
• (to Wario) "I can tell that you are obsessed with money. But since coins help you recover from injuries, we should all be so greedy. I hear red coins refill 2 pieces of the Power Meter and blue coins refill 5. That's incredible!"
• (to Yoshi) "Thank you, Yoshi! The Power Stars are returning one by one. You've chased Bowser right out of here! Oh, by the way, are you collecting coins? Special Stars appear when you collect 100 coins in each of the 15 courses!"
• (to Mario) "Thanks! The castle is recovering its energy as you retrieve Power Stars. You've chased Bowser right out of here, on some area ahead. Oh, by the way, are you collecting coins? Special Stars appear when you collect 100 coins in each of the 15 courses!"
• (to Luigi) "Hey, Luigi! I'm your biggest fan! You're the best "supporting actor" the world's ever seen! The work you've done guarding Mario is great! I think if you were a bit more assertive, you could definitely move into a leading role! By the way, are you collecting coins? Special Stars appear when you collect 100 coins in each of the 15 courses!"
• (to Wario) "Thank you, Wario! The Power Stars are returning one by one. I feel terrible that I misjudged you. I assumed you came to the castle to steal treasures... It's just that you have such a nasty-looking face, so I thought... Oh, no, that's not what I meant to say! Your face is very tough looking, very rugged. Perfect for scaring enemies. Ahem. Oh, yes. You like coins, right? Special Stars appear when you collect 100 coins in each of the 15 courses!"
• (to Yoshi) "Wow! Look at all those Power Stars! Please, give Bowser the boot! Here, let me give you hints about the castle. In then room with the mirrors, look carefully for anything that's not reflected in the mirror, and an ally with info. And when you go to the water town, you can flood it with a high jump into the painting."
• (to Mario) "Thanks to the power of the Stars, life is returning to the castle. Please, you have to give Bowser the boot! Here, let me give you a hint about the castle. In then room with the mirrors, look carefully for anything that's not reflected in the mirror, and an ally with info. And when you go to the water town, you can flood it with a high jump into the painting."
• (to Luigi) "You're really whaling on Bowser, Luigi! We'll have to call you the Luigi Brothers soon! I'll tell you a secret that will help you out. In the room with the mirrors, look carefully for anything that's not reflected in the mirror, and an ally with info. And when you go to the water town, you can flood it with a high jump into the painting."
• (to Wario) "I guess I was wrong about you, Wario! You can't be all bad if you've retrieved this many Power Stars. I'll trust you with some castle secrets: In the room with the mirrors, look carefully for anything that's not reflected in the mirror, and an ally with info. And when you go to the water town, you can flood it with a high jump into the painting."
• (to Yoshi) "You've got Bowser cornered, Yoshi! If you hadn't been around, it would've been disastrous! Also, there's something strange about that clock. As you jump inside, watch the position of the big hand."
• (to Mario) "You've made it this far, Mario. Bowser is waiting on the top floor. You must go rescue the princess. I'll stay here and, um, keep a look out. But before you go, keep in mind that the world inside that clock is weird! When you jump inside, watch the position of the big hand!"
• (to Luigi) "You've made it this far, Luigi! I guess Mario's not the only one who's super. But remember this before you go! The world inside that clock is weird! When you jump inside, watch the position of the big hand!"
• (to Wario) "Wow! Look at all those Power Stars! Guess you're good at other things besides stealing money, huh. Oh yeah. Don't forget that the world inside that clock is very strange! When you jump inside, watch the position of the big hand!"

Super Mario Galaxy

• "AAAAUGH! A BEE!...What?! Mario? Hey...it's YOU! We escaped from Peach's Castle too! But then we thought Bowser would get us and then we got lost with Luigi...Oh! I just remembered! We found a Power Star! I'm sure you need this, so here, take it."
• "Mario! Somehow we made it too! We'll help you get the Power Stars and save Princess Peach! You can count on us, Mario! We're all in this together!"
• "We've finished building the Starshroom starship. We'll use it to search for Power Stars! And we, the members of the Toad Brigade, will be the brave crew!"
• "And this brigade needs a bold leader so I nominate...um...well..me! Under my command, the galaxies will see the bravery of the Toad Brigade!"
• "See you around the galaxies!"
• "Mario! My brigade boarded the enemy fleet, and none have returned! As captain, I would go save them myself, but I'm much too busy at the moment...and scared."

Super Mario Galaxy 2

• "It's you...Mario, right?! Like our new ship? It's called a Starshroom! We're shoving off soon!"
• There's a pretty scary monster just past here--be careful!"

• "All that hard work... Just...gone..."
• "So, I wasn't eavesdroppin' or nothin', but I kinda sorta overheard your entire conversation with the Chief."
• "Lucky for us, I got a line on some jobs from around the world."
• "If you complete enough jobs, we should be able to make enough Coins to rebuild the whole castle!"
• "I gotta say... Knowing you're gonna single-handedly fund this entire construction effort really takes the pressure off me, ya know?"
• "OK, no time to waste. Check out this job from someone named...uh... Goomba Lover."
• "Most of these clients don't use their real names. I don't ask too many questions as long as they cough up the Coin."
• "Take care out there."
• "That was somethin' else!"
• "All right, go hand those Coins over to the Chief!"
• "Got (number) new jobs for ya..."

• "You want jobs? I got jobs."
• "Have fun."

• "One of Mushroom Kingdom's famous items ought to perk you right up!"

• "P-P-Princess P-P-Peach... P-P-Princess P-P-Peach... P-P-Princess P-P-Peach..."
• "So! Off on an adventure yet again!"
• "...I just hope your long vacation hasn't left you out of shape."

• "MARIOOO!"
• "When was your last battle? Did you already forget about action commands?"

• "See, if you dodge attacks, you won't take damage at all! And by the way, when you think you can dodge... Just look over here to be sure!"

• "The perpetrator came from the Beanbean Kingdom! If you head over there, you should be able to learn more!"
• "You can stretch out and warm up here in this plaza."
• "Oh, and I'd talk to everyone around here. Who knows what you might learn?"
• "Mario! Bowser isn't that way!"
• "I've been trying to tell you he's not there! Don't you listen?"
• "You know what? You're a real pest! And guess what else? You still can't go that way!"
• "So, you're going to the Beanbean Kingdom? That's quite a journey. Do you want to learn about Action Icons before you go?"
• "Haha! Oh, all right, all right..."
• "Action Icons are symbols that show you what actions you can perform at any given time."
• "If you press the button when this icon is showing, you'll jump. BOING! You're good at that, right?"
• "Stand in front of someone and press the Button when this icon appears to speak.
• "And when this icon appears, press the Button to do a little investigating...You'll see this icon when you stand near signs and things. Keep an eye out for it!
• "So, that's the fast and dirty explanation. Want to hear it again?"
• "Hey, by the way, is Luigi staying behind to keep an eye on the home front?"
• "Oh! Wow! My Mushroom! You got it for me?"
• "B-but...What? Awww..."
• "Won't you please return my Mushroom to me?"
• "Oh, thank you so much! Yes! But...Say, you're going to the Beanbean Kingdom soon, huh? You'd better keep it, then. And please take this as a going-away gift! I insist!"
• "And good luck with all your jumping and stuff over there in the Beanbean Kingdom!"
• "Practice your jumping so you can remember how high you can jump!"
• "Oh! Mario! Your mustache looks so silky-smooth today! Show me that super jump!"
• "Oh! That was so awesome! Mario, you're the only one in the whole world who can jump like that! You rule!"
• "It's just like I always say: If you see that mustache and that jump, it's Mario!"
• "This is weird..I can't seem to find my precious belonging. Mario! Do you think maybe you could help me look for it?"
• "Some hero you are..."
• "Come on! Please? Just help me find my precious belonging!"
• "I think I dropped it while I was walking up here, so focus on this ledge, OK?"
• "You know, when you approach suspicious-looking areas, the Action Icon changes... If I were you, I'd ask that guy near the fountain about the Action Icons!
• "Hey! That's it! That's the precious belonging I've been looking for! Thank you!"
• "You are the best! THE BEST! Please take this in return!"
• "Keep up the good work!"
• "Yeah, so, I recently returned from a really nice trip to the Beanbean Kingdom. Ah, Hoohoo Mountain, Oho Ocean, Chucklehuck Woods, Teehee Valley... So much to see! I've recorded all my travels in my Save Album!"
• "Bowser's Koopa Cruiser is parked just up ahead. Hoo! That is one mean machine! Boy! ...Anyway, it's time you were on your way! Head in that derection once you're ready, OK? But, uh... Rushing headfirst into trouble like you always do is crazy, so be sure to save with that Save Album!"

• "All right, Mario! We're counting on you."
• "The Refreshroom is in a block in Toadsworth's room. You can't miss it!"

• "Looking good from where I'm standing. Good luck!"
• "I'm pretty sure that the Refreshroom is right there in Toadsworth's room."
• "Please hurry and get it!"
• "Toadsworth! Hold on!"
• "This castle has three floors. There are also rumors of a vast underground area, too."
• "Thing is, no one seems to know how to get down there. Now THAT...is cruddy design."
• "This castle's so big, I sometimes get lost. And then I cry a little."
• "When that happens, I peek at the Top Screen to check on my location."
• "This is the Shroom Shop, where you can buy and sell items and gear."
• "We're still stocking the shelves, so please come back a bit later, OK?"
• "Be sure to save your progress when you see a Save Album!"
• "When you want to save, jump up and hit that Save Album over there."
• "The icons in the upper-right corner of the screen show you what actions you can perform."
• "The icons will change when you get close to signs, people, and suspicious areas, OK?"
• "When you see an icon change, try pressing the corresponding button to see what happens!"
• "I've got a feeling something terrible's going to happen..."
• "I mean, look! This room's got that eerie gear over there..."
• "Something's gonna happen! Bless my spots..."
• "Climb these stairs to reach the castle's second floor."
• "Listen, though; the switch to open the door's a doozy."
• "Simply standing on it with another friend's not enough to activate it, no sir!"
• "Jumping is the most basic of actions, y'know. I mean, if you don't know it by now...yikes."
• "Not that I really need to tell you, but don't forget to jump and hit blocks to collect items!"
• "Toadsworth!"
• "Any final words?"
• "Can I have your cane?"
• "Doctor! SPEAK, man!
• "Will Toadsworth recover?"
• "No sign of the princess! No! NOOOOOOOO! That awful monster..."
• "Time radar? TIME RADAR?! You just made that up! Where'd that monster come from, then?"
• "Ah... Luigi, are you on your way to the garden?"
• "Instead, how about you stand guard and keep that thing from escaping and eating everyone?"
• "Oh, I see... Well, if you'd rather not, I guess I can't force you to do it or anything."
• "Who knows what the future holds, though? Could be, you might face even worse things!"
• "Oh, hey, so tell me, are your jumps coming along as well as Mario's? 'Cause he's the best."
• "Yeahhhh... Listen, no offense, but next to Mario, that just seems...underwhelming."
• "Know what I mean? Show him what I mean, Mario."
• "Seriously, Luigi. Try jumping like Mario! You need more intensity or something."
• "Wow... That was super! That was a great jump! Worthy of Mario himself."
• "You really are brothers! Hey! You'd better hustle along to the garden."
• "The...village..."
• "The village... Dank purple... mushrooms..."

Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix

• "Hey Mario/Luigi! We've got a problem here!"
• "It's just terrible! Someone stole the Music Keys!"
• "The Music Keys! You know, the spheres that hold the power of music!"
• "If you're quiet, you can hear the music. Shhh. Can you hear it?"
• "Sometimes I suddenly catch myself dancing to the music. It's creepy! But also kind of fun!"
• "If you don't find the keys, we'll all be doing this dorky dance! Forever!"
• "Oh yeah, and chaos and discord will rain down on the Mushroom Kingdom and maybe destroy us all."
• "When they keys make you shake your thing, magic things start happening!"
• "Hop on board and we'll start our journey to find the missing Music Keys!"
• "Wait a second. I got it! Maybe we can fix it by dancing! And by we, I mean you."
• "First a twister, now this? What terrible luck we've been having!"
• "Then why do you have it out on display?"
• "I shouldn't have eaten all those bananas...Oof! Here we go!"
• "I don't speak Squidish, but I'm pretty sure he's saying that he won't give us the key."
• "I'm not sure dancing will work this time. He's got a lot more legs."
• "My legs are too stubby to dance. It's up to you, Mario/Luigi!"
• "Don't be scared! It's just a regular old house. No way it's haunted. Come on!"
• "Ack! Save me!"
• "What a horrible, stinky fellow!"
• "It'd a lot easier going down this mountain than it was going up. All we gotta do is slide!"
• "No one can beat Mario/Luigi on the dance floor!"

Mario Super Sluggers

• "Bowser Jr.! He showed up and did that thing with the thing, and... Oh crab apples. Just come and see for yourself!"
• "Look! LOOOOOK! Bowser Jr. turned Princess Daisy into a statue! You gotta do something do something! You gotta stop Bowser Jr.! He went back there somewhere! Princess Peach and Toadsworth are back there too..."
• "I'm going to stay here and look after Princess Daisy! Toadette is somewhere near Toad Flower Garden. Talk to her for more details."
• To Hammer Bro.: "G-g-get out of here! Don't you dare lay a finger on Princess Daisy!"
• To Mario: "There you are! P-P-PLEASE!! You have to help!"
• After victory against Hammer Bro.: "Oh, thank you so much! Please take care of Princess Daisy! What?! You want to take this statue of Princess Daisy with you? NO WAY DUDE! NUH-UH! What if you drop it and she breaks into a kajillion pieces? HUH?"
• "Fountain? You need it to stop the flooding? Oh...Weeeeell... OK. But you gotta PROMISE not to drop her!"
• "I'm worried about all of you, so please take me along! I'll do my best to protect you! ...From back here."

Paper Mario: Color Splash

• "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?"

Official Nintendo Magazine UK interview

From Issue 135, December 2003; section: "Celebrate Nintendo," page 42 ("Behind the Code")

• "To cut a long story short, I had just lost my job and was scanning the classifieds. Then I saw this open casting call. They needed a bunch of mushrooms for an upcoming Atari game. As it turns out, of course, the game was Centipede."
• "[When I worked at Atari,] we got shot at, you know, a lot. There were no special effects back then, no post-production trickery. I was scared as hell, but a job's a job, you know? Anyway, once that was all done, Namco came calling. They were putting together a maze game and there were some parts available for snack foods. I tried out, but apparently mushrooms give poor old Pac-Man the trots."
• "I absolutely didn't think I'd ever get another chance like that. But then I got a call from my agent saying that Nintendo wanted to do a sequel to Mario Bros. The part called for mushrooms that were going to be eaten so the main character would grow impossibly huge. I said I didn't do that kind of thing. But then he said there was another part - the Mushroom retainer. That part actually had a line, which was a really big thing in those days. And so when I went down there, I went right into Mr. Miyamoto's office and started delivering the line. "The Princess is in another castle! Another castle!" And he just loved it."
• "In those early days [with Super Mario Bros.], we were like one big family, doing what we thought would be a well-liked independent game. But it just exploded. Instant popularity, wild parties, and at one point it was me and three of the girls from Wizards & Warriors in a hot tub, one New Year's Eve. And we were just buck-ass naked."
• "I was so thrilled when they told me [about my role in Super Mario Bros. 2]. What I didn't expect was how hard it was to do the athletic stuff. Mario, Luigi - those guys were total professionals. The stress of being a playable character got to me. And that's when I started drinking, a lot. And everybody knew, but it was acceptable in Japan, you know? To just go out after work and party."
• "What was worse [than Super Mario Bros. 3] was Super Mario World. I wasn't asked back for that at all. Yoshi had stolen my thunder and I resented him for years. Nintendo still kept me around, you know, but out of the spotlight. In retrospect, I think they were trying to lighten my workload so I could get my life together. But it just made me worse, drove me into a bad depression. I think that was the lowest point in my life."
• "[During the early 90s, I was working] bit parts mainly... [but] it got much better with Mario Party. It wasn't a starring role, but I was all over the game. But I was pretty much off my head the entire time we were shooting Mario Party 2. People would pass my square and I'd just take my pants off and throw them at the guys. I thought it was a riot, but they didn't think it was funny 'cause I'd usually wet myself by that time. Then I'd go home and it would just be awful there too, because my marriage was falling apart. I hadn't slept in the same bed with my wife for about three months. And finally, one day I come home early from the set of Mario Party 3 and I find her in the sack with Bob-omb."
• "I knew we were having problems, but here's my wife, you know, sleeping with some [other] guy. And we went through a rather messy divorce. I'm paying alimony. Nintendo said I had to go to rehab or I was fired. I was so frustrated that I punched Chain Chomp and broke my hand [doing it]. And he was my best friend. I checked into the mental hospital and got clean. I came back to host Mario Party 4 on the Cube and I'll be back in Mario Party 5 this year. I've got a new lease on life!"
