*'''Goompapa:''' ''Hey, thanks. Much obliged, Mr. Postal Worker! ...Oh, great news! Fishing is one of my hobbies, and this is from a friend who's planning a fishing trip. I can't wait... ...Oh... Sorry to pile work on you, but could I give you a letter? 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.''
*'''Muss T.:''' ''Oh, it's from Mr. Goompapa. That old codger! We think alike, he and I. It's been ages since I saw him. Too long, indeed! This reminds me... I was just thinking about sending a letter to one of my other 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 entrance 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.''
*'''Koover (1):''' ''Hey, thanks! You came at a good time. I was just about to send a letter myself. Oh, would you look at this! It's a letter from Muss T.! The two of us are always thinking along the same lines. He's one of my fishing pals. I'll tell you, if you don't fish, you should! What a hobby! And to think, I was just about to send letters to all my fishing buddies about a trip! Once we have a good place set up, I'll write a letter back to Muss T. So... ...could you send this along for me? Thanks so much. It's to a friend of mine who's always fishing at the Toad Town port. He's easy to find. Thanks again!''
*'''Fishmael:''' ''Hm? What's this, then? Shiver me timbers! Word from Koover! Muss T. said he wrote a letter, too. Everyone's got the fishin' bug! Time fer a fishin' trip! Ye should come along, Mario. Yar, that reminds me... I got a favor ter ask. Could yer deliver this to 'im? 'im? Why, the Koopa Troopa who asked you ter bring this letter to me! Koover's the name. Yar, and take good care, fer the luvva fishes!''
*'''Koover (2):''' ''Oh, thanks! Cool! It's from my pal! This must be the answer to my last letter. Thanks for the speedy delivery. Now I can send letters to the whole gang. It'll be great meeting up with all the guys and fishing up a storm. I've already written one. Here, can you take it? It's to Mr. E, who lives in the desert. He'll most likely be hanging out in front of the Toad House. He wears a blue turban. You'll probably notice him right off the bat. Thanks for everything!''
*'''Mr. E:''' ''Gee, thanks! Oh, looks like an order from Koopa Village. My job is delivering things from Dry Dry Outpost. This guy's a great customer. He's always ordering stuff. Hey, by the way. Would you do me a favor and deliver this letter the next time you're in Toad Town? It's to Miss T. She lives there. She's one of three amazingly beautiful sisters. She's normally chatting with her sisters in front of the Dojo. Thanks a lot!''
*'''Miss T.:''' ''Who is this from? I don't think I recognize the return address. Oh, well. I'm always getting love letters from strangers. I'm super popular. But enough about me. It's so lucky you came just now, Mr. Postman! Will you do me a favor? I want you to deliver this letter to the shop owner at Dry Dry Outpost.♥ I order lots of things from the desert. They have so much good stuff! It's not easy staying this beautiful. It takes work! Will you please deliver this? Thanks!''
*'''The Little Mouser:''' ''Oh, thanks. Yeah, this is an order sheet from one of my regulars. Good deal. She's one of my best customers. She orders things all the time. If health and beauty are what you're after, you can't beat desert Lemons and Limes. You can find them in the oasis. Oh, if you make a juice with those things... Mmmm mmm! Oh, hang on. Almost forgot. Can you do me a favor? Please deliver this letter to a Boo called Franky. Franky lives in a mansion way out on the far edge of Forever Forest. It may be tough to find him. Thanks.''
*'''Franky:''' ''Oh, thank you! ... Oh, great, it's finally in! This is from a guy I know who deals in useful items from all over the world. He has a great eye for items. He just got something in that I've wanted for a long time. Oh, it's the coolest thing! Oh, wow, I almost forgot! Could you deliver this for me? Sorry if it's a bother... There's a Toad child in Toad Town named Dane T. Please deliver it to him. He always seems to be playing by the station with his pals. He must like trains. Thanks a Boo!''
*'''Dane T. (1):''' ''Thanks, Mister! Wow! I mean, wow! It's an invitation to the haunted mansion! I didn't think it would really come... All the kids in Toad Town have been talking about this invitation, wondering if it was for real. But... now that it's come, I guess I have to go... Mini T., are you brave enough to go with me? '''''Mini T.:''''' Uhhhh... You know, I'm really kind of busy and... Oh! Yeah! I just had the greatest idea! Let's ask that Yoshi Kid from Yoshi's Village to come. You just got a letter from that kid last week, didn't you? You know! That letter you got from the island? Let's send a letter back to him and tell him about the scary adventure we're gonna have. Hey! Mr. Postman! Take this letter to the red Yoshi Kid in Yoshi's Village!''
*'''The Red Yoshi Kid:''' ''Thanks. I wonder what it is. Oh, my pal made up a new game! I've gotta play this later! He also wants me to come over to his town and play with him sometime. But how can I get there? ...Oh well. Maybe someday I'll be able to cross the sea and hang out. It's really funny, 'cause I was just writing him a letter about a game I made up! Mr. Parakarry, will you help? Here. Deliver my letter to the Toad Kid who asked you to send this one to me. Could you? Thanks!!''
*'''Dane T. (2):''' ''Wow! Thanks a lot! You're much faster than the old postman, that's for sure. That Yoshi Kid is a really good pen pal, huh? He writes really long letters. It sounds like there's always something fun going on over where he is. Lucky Yoshi... We should write back again. Hmmmm... What do you think we ought to write about? '''''Mini T.:''''' Hmmmm... I don't know. Let's think about it later. By the way, I wanna ask you for a favor, Mr. Parakarry. Can you deliver this? It's a letter for Uncle Frost T. of Starborn Valley. He's my uncle. He's up there taking care of lots of Star Kids. It sounds like a hard job. He has to chase 'em around all the time. At least that's what he says in the letters he sends. Anyway, I wrote him a letter to take his mind off work. I know it's far from here, but I'd really appreciate it.''
*'''Frost T.:''' ''Oh, thank you. Ah! How nice! It's a letter from little Dane T. and Mini T. Those naughty little rascals... When I visited their home, they were always up to something. They do write me letters often. It's nice to get letters... Their mail makes me as happy as mail from my wife and daughter. Oh yes, I almost forgot! I need a letter delivered. I'd like you to take this letter to Goompapa in Goomba Village. It's actually a reply to little Goombaria, but I think her dad could explain it to her better. Drop it off whenever you have a chance, all right? Thank you so much.''
*'''Goompapa:''' ''Thank you, sir. What would we do without postal service? Oh, how interesting... A letter for Goombaria. I guess I could open it... I remember she wrote a letter just the other day and I was wondering what it was. I see. I guess it was a question. And this seems like the answer. It looks pretty complicated... but I think I understand. I'll tell her all about it. Thanks so much for the prompt delivery. Here, take this!''

* ''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.''
;Kolorado
* (Dry Dry Desert) ''Oh, good show! It's a letter from my wife. Thank you ever so, old chap. This is just what I needed to give me strength to go on. ...I know! I'll pass this along as a spot of thanks. I came across it while I was immersed in the dig around here.''
* (Toad Town dock) ''Oh, good show! It's a letter from my wife. Thank you ever so, old chap. This is just what I needed to give me strength for the trip. ...I know! I'll pass this along as my most sincere thanks. I came across it while I was researching my latest project in Dry Dry Desert.''
* (Yoshi's Village) ''Oh, good show! It's a letter from my wife. Thank you ever so, old chap. This is just what I needed to give me the strength to go on. ...I know! I'll pass this along as a spot of thanks. I came across it while I was wandering about the jungle researching things.''
* (Mt. Lavalava) ''A letter? For me? All the way out here on Lavalava Island? How very rare... Oh, good show! It's a letter from my wife. Thank you ever so, old chap. This is just what I needed to give me the strength to go on. ...I know! I'll pass this along as a spot of thanks. I came across it while I was wandering about the jungle researching things.''
* (Mt. Lavalava when hurt) ''Yeeow ow ow...! The treasures are waiting for me over there, I know it... Oh, a letter... Oh, good show! It's a letter from my wife. Thank you ever so, old chap. This is just what I needed to give me the strength to go on. ...I know! I'll pass this along as a spot of thanks. I came across it while I was wandering about the jungle researching things.''
* (Pleasant Path entrance) ''Good gracious! A letter from the missus! But when did she send this? Well, in any event, cheers for delivering it. Take this, old boy. I came upon it during my incredibly important research on Lavalava Island.''
* (Koopa Village) ''Oh! Good heavens! A letter from the wife! I say... ...when did she write this? Well, in any event, cheers to you for bringing it with such speed, eh? You simply must take this. Go on, then! I found it on scenic Lavalava Island.''
;Goompapa (start of letter chain)
* ''Hey, thanks. Much obliged, Mr. Postal Worker! ...Oh, great news! Fishing is one of my hobbies, and this is from a friend who's planning a fishing trip. I can't wait... ...Oh... Sorry to pile work on you, but could I give you a letter? 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.''
;Muss T.
* ''Oh, it's from Mr. Goompapa. That old codger! We think alike, he and I. It's been ages since I saw him. Too long, indeed! This reminds me... I was just thinking about sending a letter to one of my other 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 entrance 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.''
;Koover (1)
* ''Hey, thanks! You came at a good time. I was just about to send a letter myself. Oh, would you look at this! It's a letter from Muss T.! The two of us are always thinking along the same lines. He's one of my fishing pals. I'll tell you, if you don't fish, you should! What a hobby! And to think, I was just about to send letters to all my fishing buddies about a trip! Once we have a good place set up, I'll write a letter back to Muss T. So... ...could you send this along for me? Thanks so much. It's to a friend of mine who's always fishing at the Toad Town port. He's easy to find. Thanks again!''
;Fishmael
* ''Hm? What's this, then? Shiver me timbers! Word from Koover! Muss T. said he wrote a letter, too. Everyone's got the fishin' bug! Time fer a fishin' trip! Ye should come along, Mario. Yar, that reminds me... I got a favor ter ask. Could yer deliver this to 'im? 'im? Why, the Koopa Troopa who asked you ter bring this letter to me! Koover's the name. Yar, and take good care, fer the luvva fishes!''
;Koover (2)
* ''Oh, thanks! Cool! It's from my pal! This must be the answer to my last letter. Thanks for the speedy delivery. Now I can send letters to the whole gang. It'll be great meeting up with all the guys and fishing up a storm. I've already written one. Here, can you take it? It's to Mr. E, who lives in the desert. He'll most likely be hanging out in front of the Toad House. He wears a blue turban. You'll probably notice him right off the bat. Thanks for everything!''
;Mr. E
* ''Gee, thanks! Oh, looks like an order from Koopa Village. My job is delivering things from Dry Dry Outpost. This guy's a great customer. He's always ordering stuff. Hey, by the way. Would you do me a favor and deliver this letter the next time you're in Toad Town? It's to Miss T. She lives there. She's one of three amazingly beautiful sisters. She's normally chatting with her sisters in front of the Dojo. Thanks a lot!''
;Miss T.
* ''Who is this from? I don't think I recognize the return address. Oh, well. I'm always getting love letters from strangers. I'm super popular. But enough about me. It's so lucky you came just now, Mr. Postman! Will you do me a favor? I want you to deliver this letter to the shop owner at Dry Dry Outpost.♡ I order lots of things from the desert. They have so much good stuff! It's not easy staying this beautiful. It takes work! Will you please deliver this? Thanks!''
;Little Mouser
* ''Oh, thanks. Yeah, this is an order sheet from one of my regulars. Good deal. She's one of my best customers. She orders things all the time. If health and beauty are what you're after, you can't beat desert Lemons and Limes. You can find them in the oasis. Oh, if you make a juice with those things... Mmmm mmm! Oh, hang on. Almost forgot. Can you do me a favor? Please deliver this letter to a Boo called Franky. Franky lives in a mansion way out on the far edge of Forever Forest. It may be tough to find him. Thanks.''
;Franky
* ''Oh, thank you! ... Oh, great, it's finally in! This is from a guy I know who deals in useful items from all over the world. He has a great eye for items. He just got something in that I've wanted for a long time. Oh, it's the coolest thing! Oh, wow, I almost forgot! Could you deliver this for me? Sorry if it's a bother... There's a Toad child in Toad Town named Dane T. Please deliver it to him. He always seems to be playing by the station with his pals. He must like trains. Thanks a Boo!''
;Dane T. (1)
* ''Thanks, Mister! Wow! I mean, wow! It's an invitation to the haunted mansion! I didn't think it would really come... All the kids in Toad Town have been talking about this invitation, wondering if it was for real. But... now that it's come, I guess I have to go... Mini T., are you brave enough to go with me? '''''Mini T.:''''' Uhhhh... You know, I'm really kind of busy and... Oh! Yeah! I just had the greatest idea! Let's ask that Yoshi Kid from Yoshi's Village to come. You just got a letter from that kid last week, didn't you? You know! That letter you got from the island? Let's send a letter back to him and tell him about the scary adventure we're gonna have. Hey! Mr. Postman! Take this letter to the red Yoshi Kid in Yoshi's Village!''
;Red Yoshi Kid
* ''Thanks. I wonder what it is. Oh, my pal made up a new game! I've gotta play this later! He also wants me to come over to his town and play with him sometime. But how can I get there? ...Oh well. Maybe someday I'll be able to cross the sea and hang out. It's really funny, 'cause I was just writing him a letter about a game I made up! Mr. Parakarry, will you help? Here. Deliver my letter to the Toad Kid who asked you to send this one to me. Could you? Thanks!!''
;Dane T. (2)
* ''Wow! Thanks a lot! You're much faster than the old postman, that's for sure. That Yoshi Kid is a really good pen pal, huh? He writes really long letters. It sounds like there's always something fun going on over where he is. Lucky Yoshi... We should write back again. Hmmmm... What do you think we ought to write about? '''''Mini T.:''''' Hmmmm... I don't know. Let's think about it later. By the way, I wanna ask you for a favor, Mr. Parakarry. Can you deliver this? It's a letter for Uncle Frost T. of Starborn Valley. He's my uncle. He's up there taking care of lots of Star Kids. It sounds like a hard job. He has to chase 'em around all the time. At least that's what he says in the letters he sends. Anyway, I wrote him a letter to take his mind off work. I know it's far from here, but I'd really appreciate it.''
;Frost T.
* ''Oh, thank you. Ah! How nice! It's a letter from little Dane T. and Mini T. Those naughty little rascals... When I visited their home, they were always up to something. They do write me letters often. It's nice to get letters... Their mail makes me as happy as mail from my wife and daughter. Oh yes, I almost forgot! I need a letter delivered. I'd like you to take this letter to Goompapa in Goomba Village. It's actually a reply to little Goombaria, but I think her dad could explain it to her better. Drop it off whenever you have a chance, all right? Thank you so much.''
;Goompapa (end of letter chain)
* ''Thank you, sir. What would we do without postal service? Oh, how interesting... A letter for Goombaria. I guess I could open it... I remember she wrote a letter just the other day and I was wondering what it was. I see. I guess it was a question. And this seems like the answer. It looks pretty complicated... but I think I understand. I'll tell her all about it. Thanks so much for the prompt delivery. Here, take this!''
;Mort T.
* ''A letter? For me? Oh, it's from my wife! How sweet! I love her so... .......... Phew... Oh, pardon me. I got really wrapped up there. That wife of mine! She's so cute! She makes me crazy! Thanks for bringing me joy! Here, take this, OK?''

;Igor
* ''A letter? Oh, right, an order list. Weird. This order's from ...Gusty Gulch. That's right around the corner! Can't they just come here? Oh, well. My motto is, "From Boo to you with a smile." Take this for your trouble.''
;Russ T.
* ''Now what could this be about... Hm! How exceedingly strange. It's from Lavalava Island. ...Yes, yes. It's a question from a curious kid there. My mind is quite in demand. Thank you, Parakarry.
