"Mario! ANOTHER e-mail!"

""The blockade in the minor-league locker room," Huh? What's behind it, you think?"

"Mario! Do you believe what that is? It's a scientific report on the Crystal Stars! Someone was researching the Crystal Stars! And they even have pictures! Y'know, it's REALLY weird that someone would just leave this lying around..."

"What's that chick's beef? It was totally hard work getting that info! Well, whatever. At least it sounds like the Crystal Star is somewhere in here."

"The storage room in the arena now? Sheesh! What next? This guy's got us running all over! It's driving me totally nuts!"

"You again! Miss Flirt-a-lot! Are you following us or what? Y'know, Security heard you bungling around in here. It WAS you, right?"

"Pfffffffft! PUH-leeeeeeze! I am, like, SO sure!"

"Are you, like, the biggest floozy ever or what?"

"What's with that burglar rat? I SWEAR, I'm gonna headbonk her if she doesn't watch it! But whatever... What do you think she meant about some poor souls upstairs?"

""The staircase switch"? What, is there supposed to be a staircase in here?"

"Pssst! Mario! You listening to this?!? This whole missing fighter thing stinks of funny business! And here I just thought that King K retired and headed back to his hometown..."

"Phew! Boy, that was close! Did you catch how Grubba just came out of left field with that Crystal Star bit? Jolene was acting totally weird, right? I'm betting she knows something... Anyway, for now, we'd better get out of here before someone finds us."

"Wow! That was Bowser, right? Jeepers, who woulda thought he'd show his face HERE?"

"Great. Our angry pen pal again. He sure seems to have a lot of information... I mean, if he knows about the Crystal Star AND the missing fighters... Then this guy is totally holding the key to this entire mystery! But like, who is it? WHO?!?"

"Hey, Mario, you see what happened to our pal here?"

"Omigosh! That cake must've totally been poisoned! Boy, if we'd eaten it... that'd be us on the floor!"

"W-What happened here?!? Bandy Andy! And King K!"

"Andy! Stay with us, OK? What do you mean, don't go near the ring?!?"

"Whoa! Did you see that, Mario? Was that... Jolene? What the heck is going on?"

"Hey! Where do you think YOU'RE going, pal? Huh? The ring's this way!"

"Slow down, will ya, buddy? WHY are we going this weird way again?"

"But this is a minor-league locker room! And speaking of which, where is everybody? I know he said to wait here... But, Mario, we're gonna miss our fight against the champ!"

"OK, they are like, totally ridiculously late now! I'm gonna find out what's up."

"Omigosh! Omigosh! Mario! It's locked! The door's locked! We're totally trapped!"

"Mario, if we don't do something soon, we're gonna forfeit that match! We gotta get out of here!"

"I already tried that, Mario! It's locked!"

"Shoot! This one won't budge either! This stinks!"

"That... was maybe the grossest thing I've ever done. Uh-huh. But let's get to the fight!"

"Wow, looks like we actually made it! And listen to those cheers, Mario! They love you! C'mon, let's go put this oversized rooster in his place, huh?!"

"OK, Mario, this is it! A match with the champ! Let's destroy this guy!"

"What? What are you saying? Don't tell me it was YOU who got that security guard to lock us up!"

"So YOU'RE the jerk that's been sending us mean e-mails about the Crystal Stars!"

"This is the air duct, right? Where does it lead to?"

"That's GRUBBA! You think he could've made all those fighters disappear?"

"Looks like he's gone... Didn't he say something about his desk drawer?"

"There's something! You think that's the paper Grubba had? Let's take a peek, huh?"

"Whoa! A machine under the ring using a Crystal Star? These are the blueprints! I don't know much about that technical stuff, but I think the Crystal Star powers it! IF this document's accurate, then the machine can suck the power out of people! ...Do you think that King K and Bandy Andy had been, like... drained?"

"Quiet, you total scumbag! You sucked the life out of poor King K and Bandy Andy!"

"C'mon, Mario! We can't let that jerk get away!"

"Look, Mario! Up there! The real Crystal Star!"

"Using a Crystal Star to look good? You're so totally vain! You're gonna pay for that!"

"Whoa! Grubba got huge!"

"OK, Mario, I've had just about enough of this guy's yapping! Let's take him down!"

"Mario! Hear that noise! That's totally an e-mail from Princess Peach!"

"What?!? They wanna rule the world? That does NOT sound like a friendly plan!"

"There's the fourth Crystal Star. We're gonna have to show Professor Frankly again. It's OK, we have to let him know what Princess Peach wrote in her e-mail anyway..."

"What?!? What?!? What?!? Omigosh, WHAT'S going on?!?"

"Oh, the bell rang, Mario! That means someone's gonna... Whew... At least it's not me this time."

"Huh? The gatekeeper's gone... No, not gone! He turned into a pig! Well, not to be insensitive, but that works out for us. We can just cruise through!"

"THIS is the monster the mayor was talking about?!? You gotta be kidding me!"
