"Ugh... This place is freaky... but we don't have a choice, Mario! We've gotta get in there and save Peach before this gets out of hand! C'mon, Mario!"

"Jeepers... This room gives me a super-bad feeling, Mario... What IS this chamber?"

"So, this chump is the leader of the X-Nauts?"

"No! So the last Crystal Star we found on the moon... What did we do?"

"What? This is totally unfair! All this and Bowser, too?!?"

"Phew... That was hairy. At least we settle THAT nut's hash. Now let's save Peach, OK, Mario?"

"What?!? Where's Grodus?!?"

"Wh-What do we do, Mario? I mean, no WAY can we agree to serve her!!!"

"Mario, what're we supposed to do now? We could be totally done for..."

"Yeah, right! Pffft!"

"Never, ever give up! That's the most important thing I've learned from you, Mario."

"Ummm... Look, I... Listen, just forget that whole scene I made earlier, OK? It was nothing. I was just fooling around or something."

"OH, PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU TO FIGHT HOOKTAIL! PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU!"

"Oh, man... Hooktail Castle... The stories were all true... This place is TERRIFYING..."

"Ummm... What're they doing? Ouch! It's no use, Mario! They're all over me, man! What should we do?"

"Man... That was TOO close! Gotta shake it off... Hoo. OK. We got the key, so let's go open that spooky chest."

"H-Hey! Who are you?"

"Umm, well, you see... We're here to beat Hooktail and get the... um... Crystal Star. So... don't think we'll let you get the Crystal Star first, no matter how cute you are!"

"Ummm... Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh, my! You're so... bold... Is that legal?"

"I wonder what her story is... I bet it's an interesting one... Full of romance..."

"That's just not right!"

"I've had enough of this! Let's finish this guy off fast, Mario!"

"Something wrong, Mario? You're... um... shaking... Are you feeling all right?"

"That's a new Mailbox SP, isn't it? Wow, neat! Did you get some mail?"

"Wow... You got mail from a princess. That's so cool! So, anyway, she's unhurt! That's good, at least... But I didn't like the sound of those kidnappers looking for the Crystal Stars as well..."

"Um... All right, Mario! Hold up that Crystal Star!"

"Hey, uh, Mario, look there. The next Crystal Star showed up on the map. But... I'm sorry, but I don't have a clue where that is. Um... I think maybe we should take it to Professor Frankly and let him look at it."

"Hey! Mario! You see that? That was one of the things Professor Frankly mentioned!"

"Um... Aren't you one of the creatures from Boggly Woods? Why are you down here?"

"X-Nauts? What the heck are those? Sounds like tissues... to the extreme or something. Look, we're not here to do ANYTHING to you, so relax. Tell us what's going on, OK?"

"So, the Boggly Woods, huh? Looks mysterious, all right. What'll we run into next?"

"Hey, don't take it so hard... It does look sturdy, though. What do we do now?"

"Not to be a worrywart, but how in the heck can we find somebody's secret entrance?"

"Gee whiz, that must be some nice necklace, huh? ...Hang on... You know what? It's weird... I'm sure I just heard someone talking about a necklace..."

"Oh! Hey! I know you! Y-you're that one girl... I-I never thought I'd see... Wait, uh... Listen. I mean, not that I'm happy to see you, but... I'll shut up now."

"Aww, AGAIN? Why? How? You're SO lucky, Mario!"

"Man, she sure is cute."

"Umm, while we have your attention, can I ask you something? We're looking for this thing called a Crystal Star... Have you heard of it?"

"Whoa! A pipe appeared! That was kind of...spooky. Oh well, let's keep moving."

"Boy! This just isn't right. Let's do something before my claustrophobia sets in..."
