Dialogs
000	Wow! You're smack in [the] middle of [the] battlefield. You'll find [the] Power Stars that Bowser stole inside [the] painting worlds. First, talk to [the] Bob-omb Buddy. (Press [B] to talk.) He'll certainly help [you] out, and so will his comrades in o[the]r areas. To read signs, stop, face [the]m and press [B]. Press [A] or [B] to scroll ahead. You can talk to some o[the]r characters by facing [the]m and pressing [B].
001	Watch out! If [you] wander around here, [you]'re liable to be plastered by a water bomb! Those enemy Bob-ombs love to fight, and [the]y're always finding ways to attack. This meadow has become a battlefield ever since [the] Big Bob-omb got his paws on [the] Power Star. Can [you] recover [the] Star for us? Cross [the] bridge and go left up [the] path to find [the] Big Bob-omb. Please come back to see me after [you]'ve retrieved [the] Power Star!
002	Hey, [you]! It's dangerous ahead, so listen up! Take my advice. Cross [the] two bridges ahead, [the]n watch for falling water bombs. The Big Bob-omb at [the] top of [the] mountain is very powerful--don't let him grab [you]! We're Bob-omb Buddies, and we're on [you]r side. You can talk to us whenever [you]'d like to!
003	Thank [you], Mario! The Big Bob-omb is nothing but a big dud now! But [the] battle for [the] castle has just begun. O[the]r enemies are holding [the] o[the]r Power Stars. If [you] recover more Stars, [you] can open new doors that lead to new worlds! My Bob-omb Buddies are waiting for [you]. Be sure to talk to [the]m--[the]y'll set up cannons for [you].
004	We're peace-loving Bob-ombs, so we don't use cannons. But if [you]'d like to blast off, we don't mind. Help [you]rself. We'll prepare all of [the] cannons in this course for [you] to use. Bon Voyage!
005	Hey, Mario! Is it true that [you] beat [the] Big Bob-omb? Cool! You must be strong. And pretty fast. So, how fast are [you], anyway? Fast enough to beat me... Koopa [the] Quick? I don't think so. Just try me. How about a race to [the] mountaintop, where [the] Big Bob-omb was? Whaddya say? When I say ”Go,“ let [the] race begin! Ready.... //Go!////Don't Go
006	Hey!!! Don't try to scam ME. You've gotta run [the] whole course. Later. Look me up when [you] want to race for real.
007	Hufff...fff...pufff... Whoa! You...really...are... fast! A human blur! Here [you] go--[you]'ve won it, fair and square!
008	BEWARE OF CHAIN CHOMP Extreme Danger! Get close and press [C][Up] for a better look. Scary, huh? See [the] Red Coin on top of [the] stake? When [you] collect eight of [the]m, a Power Star will appear in [the] meadow across [the] bridge.
009	Long time, no see! Wow, have [you] gotten fast! Have [you] been training on [the] sly, or is it [the] power of [the] Stars? I've been feeling down about losing [the] last race. This is my home course--how about a rematch? The goal is in Windswept Valley. Ready? //Go//// Don't Go
010	You've stepped on [the] Wing Cap Switch. Wearing [the] Wing Cap, [you] can soar through [the] sky. Now Wing Caps will pop out of all [the] red blocks [you] find. Would [you] like to Save? //Yes////No
011	You've just stepped on [the] Metal Cap Switch! The Metal Cap makes Mario invincible. Now Metal Caps will pop out of all of [the] green blocks [you] find. Would [you] like to Save? //Yes////No
012	You've just stepped on [the] Vanish Cap Switch. The Vanish Cap makes Mario disappear. Now Vanish Caps will pop from all of [the] blue blocks [you] find. Would [you] like to Save? //Yes////No
013	You've collected 100 coins! Mario gains more power from [the] castle. Do [you] want to Save? //Yes////No
014	Wow! Ano[the]r Power Star! Mario gains more courage from [the] power of [the] castle. Do [you] want to Save? //You Bet//Not Now
015	You can punch enemies to knock [the]m down. Press [A] to jump, [B] to punch. Press [A] [the]n [B] to Kick. To pick something up, press [B], too. To throw something [you]'re holding, press [B] again.
016	Hop on [the] shiny shell and ride wherever [you] want to go! Shred those enemies!
017	I'm [the] Big Bob-omb, lord of all blasting matter, king of ka-booms [the] world over! How dare [you] scale my mountain? By what right do [you] set foot on my imperial mountaintop? You may have eluded my guards, but [you]'ll never escape my grasp... ...and [you]'ll never take away my Power Star. I hereby challenge [you], Mario! If [you] want [the] Star I hold, [you] must prove [you]rself in battle. Can [you] pick me up from [the] back and hurl me to this royal turf? I think that [you] cannot!
018	I'm sleeping because... ...I'm sleepy. I don't like being disturbed. Please walk quietly.
019	Shhh! Please walk quietly in [the] hallway!
020	Dear Mario: Please come to [the] castle. I've baked a cake for [you]. Yours truly-- Princess Toadstool
021	Welcome. No one's home! Now scram-- and don't come back! Gwa ha ha!
022	You need a key to open this door.
023	This key doesn't fit! Maybe it's for [the] basement...
024	You need Star power to open this door. Recover a Power Star from an enemy inside one of [the] castle's paintings.
025	It takes [the] power of 3 Stars to open this door. You need <E0> more Stars.
026	It takes [the] power of 8 Stars to open this door. You need <E0> more Stars.
027	It takes [the] power of 30 Stars to open this door. You need <E0> more Stars.
028	It takes [the] power of 50 Stars to open this door. You need <E0> more Stars.
029	To open [the] door that leads to [the] ”endless“ stairs, [you] need 70 Stars. Bwa ha ha!
030	Hello! The Lakitu Bros., cutting in with a live update on Mario's progress. He's about to learn a technique for sneaking up on enemies. The trick is this: He has to walk very slowly in order to walk quietly. And wrapping up filming techniques reported on earlier, [you] can take a look around using [C][Right] and [C][Left]. Press [C][Down] to view [the] action from a distance. When [you] can't move [the] camera any far[the]r, [the] buzzer will sound. This is [the] Lakitu Bros., signing off.
031	No way! You beat me... again!! And I just spent my entire savings on [the]se new Koopa Mach 1 Sprint shoes! Here, I guess I have to hand over this Star to [the] winner of [the] race. Congrats, Mario!
032	If [you] get [the] Wing Cap, [you] can fly! Put [the] cap on, [the]n do a Triple Jump--jump three times in a row--to take off. You can fly even higher if [you] blast out of a cannon wearing [the] Wing Cap! Use [the] [C] Buttons to look around while flying, and press [Z] to land.
033	Ciao! You've reached Princess Toadstool's castle via a warp pipe. Using [the] controller is a piece of cake. Press [A] to jump and [B] to attack. Press [B] to read signs, too. Use [the] Control Stick in [the] center of [the] controller to move Mario around. Now, head for [the] castle.
034	Good afternoon. The Lakitu Bros., here, reporting live from just outside [the] Princess's castle. Mario has just arrived on [the] scene, and we'll be filming [the] action live as he enters [the] castle and pursues [the] missing Power Stars. As seasoned cameramen, we'll be shooting from [the] recommended angle, but [you] can change [the] camera angle by pressing [the] [C] Buttons. If we can't adjust [the] view any fur[the]r, we'll buzz. To take a look at [the] surroundings, stop and press [C][Up]. Press [A] to resume play. Switch camera modes with [the] [R] Button. Signs along [the] way will review [the]se instructions. For now, reporting live, this has been [the] Lakitu Bros.
035	There are four camera, or ”[C],“ Buttons. Press [C][Up] to look around using [the] Control Stick. You'll usually see Mario through Lakitu's camera. It is [the] camera recommended for normal play. You can change angles by pressing [C][Right]. If [you] press [R], [the] view switches to Mario's camera, which is directly behind him. Press [R] again to return to Lakitu's camera. Press [C][Down] to see Mario from afar, using ei[the]r Lakitu's or Mario's view.
036	OBSERVATION PLATFORM Press [C][Up] to take a look around. Don't miss anything! Press [R] to switch to Mario's camera. It always follows Mario. Press [R] again to switch to Lakitu's camera. Pause [the] game and switch [the] mode to ”fix“ [the] camera in place while holding [R]. Give it a try!
037	I win! You lose! Ha ha ha ha! You're no slouch, but I'm a better sledder! Better luck next time!
038	Reacting to [the] Star power, [the] door slowly opens.
039	No visitors allowed, by decree of [the] Big Bob-omb I shall never surrender my Stars, for [the]y hold [the] power of [the] castle in [the]ir glow. They were a gift from Bowser, [the] Koopa King himself, and [the]y lie well hidden within my realm. Not a whisper of [the]ir whereabouts shall leave my lips. Oh, all right, perhaps one hint: Heed [the] Star names at [the] beginning of [the] course. //--The Big Bob-omb
040	Warning! Cold, Cold Crevasse Below!
041	I win! You lose! Ha ha ha! That's what [you] get for messin' with Koopa [the] Quick. Better luck next time!
042	Caution! Narrow Bridge! Cross slowly! You can jump to [the] edge of [the] cliff and hang on, and [you] can climb off [the] edge if [you] move slowly. When [you] want to let go, ei[the]r press [Z] or press [the] Control Stick in [the] direction of Mario's back. To climb up, press Up on [the] Control Stick. To scurry up quickly, press [the] [A] Button.
043	If [you] jump and hold [the] [A] Button, [you] can hang on to some objects overhead. It's [the] same as grabbing a flying bird!
044	Whooo's [the]re? Whooo woke me up? It's still daylight--I should be sleeping! Hey, as long as I'm awake, why not take a short flight with me? Press and hold [A] to grab on. Release [A] to let go. I'll take [you] wherever [you] want to go, as long as my wings hold out. Watch my shadow, and grab on.
045	Whew! I'm just about flapped out. You should lay off [the] pasta, Mario! That's it for now. Press [A] to let go. Okay, bye byyyyyyeeee!
046	You have to master three important jumping techniques. First try [the] Triple Jump. Run fast, [the]n jump three times, one, two, three. If [you] time [the] jumps right, [you]'ll hop, skip, [the]n jump really high. Next, go for distance with [the] Long Jump. Run, press [Z] to crouch [the]n [A] to jump really far. To do [the] Wall Kick, press [A] to jump at a wall, [the]n jump again when [you] hit [the] wall. Got that? Triple Jump, Long Jump, Wall Kick. Practice, practice, practice. You don't stand a chance without [the]m.
047	Hi! I'll prepare [the] cannon for [you]!
048	Snow Mountain Summit Watch for slippery conditions! Please enter [the] cottage first.
049	Remember that tricky Wall Kick jump? It's a technique [you]'ll have to master in order to reach high places. Use it to jump from wall to wall. Press [the] Control Stick in [the] direction [you] want to bounce to gain momentum. Practice makes perfect!
050	Hold [Z] to crouch and slide down a slope. Or press [Z] while in [the] air to Pound [the] Ground! If [you] stop, crouch, [the]n jump, [you]'ll do a Backward Somersault! Got that? There's more. Crouch and [the]n jump to do a Long Jump! Or crouch and walk to...never mind.
051	Climbing's easy! When [you] jump at trees, poles or pillars, [you]'ll grab [the]m automatically. Press [A] to jump off backward. To rotate around [the] object, press Right or Left on [the] Control Stick. When [you] reach [the] top, press Up to do a handstand! Jump off from [the] handstand for a high, stylin' dismount.
052	Stop and press [Z] to crouch, [the]n press [A] to do a high, Backward Somersault! To perform a Side Somersault, run, do a sharp U-turn and jump. You can catch lots of air with both jumps.
053	Sometimes, if [you] pass through a coin ring or find a secret point in a course, a red number will appear. If [you] trigger five red numbers, a secret Star will show up.
054	Welcome to [the] snow slide! Hop on! To speed up, press forward on [the] Control Stick. To slow down, pull back.
055	Hey-ey, Mario, buddy, howzit goin'? Step right up. You look like a fast sleddin' kind of guy. I know speed when I see it, yes siree--I'm [the] world champion sledder, [you] know. Whaddya say? How about a race? Ready... //Go//// Don't Go
056	You brrrr-oke my record! Unbelievable! I knew that [you] were [the] coolest. Now [you]'ve proven that [you]'re also [the] fastest! I can't award [you] a gold medal, but here, take this Star instead. You've earned it!
057	Egad! My baby!! Have [you] seen my baby??? She's [the] most precious baby in [the] whole wide world. (They say she has my beak...) I just can't remember where I left her. Let's see...I stopped for herring and ice cubes, [the]n I...oohh! I just don't know!
058	You found my precious, precious baby! Where have [you] been? How can I ever thank [you], Mario? Oh, I do have this... ...Star. Here, take it with my eternal gratitude.
059	That's not my baby! She looks nothing like me! Her parents must be worried sick!
060	ATTENTION! Read Before Diving In! If [you] stay under [the] water for too long, [you]'ll run out of oxygen. Return to [the] surface for air or find an air bubble or coins to brea[the] while underwater. Press [A] to swim. Hold [A] to swim slow and steady. Tap [A] with smooth timing to gain speed. Press Up on [the] Control Stick and press [A] to dive. Press Down on [the] Control Stick and press [A] to return to [the] surface. Hold Down and press [A] while on [the] surface near [the] edge of [the] water to jump out.
061	BRRR! Frostbite Danger! Do not swim here. I'm serious. /--The Penguin
062	Hidden inside [the] green block is [the] amazing Metal Cap. Wearing it, [you] won't catch fire or be hurt by enemy attacks. You don't even have to brea[the] while wearing it. The only problem: You can't swim in it.
063	The Vanish Cap is inside [the] blue block. Mr. I. will be surprised, since [you]'ll be invisible when [you] wear it! Even [the] Big Boo will be fooled--and [you] can walk through secret walls, too.
064	When [you] put on [the] Wing Cap that comes from a red block, do [the] Triple Jump to soar high into [the] sky. Use [the] Control Stick to guide Mario. Pull back to to fly up, press forward to nose down, and press [Z] to land.
065	Swimming Lessons! Tap [A] to do [the] breast stroke. If [you] time [the] taps right, [you]'ll swim fast. Press and hold [A] to do a slow, steady flutter kick. Press Up on [the] Control Stick to dive, and pull back on [the] stick to head for [the] surface. To jump out of [the] water, hold Down on [the] Control Stick, [the]n press [A]. Easy as pie, right? But remember: Mario can't brea[the] under [the] water! Return to [the] surface for air when [the] Power Meter runs low. And one last thing: You can't open doors that are underwater.
066	Mario, it's Peach! Please be careful! Bowser is so wicked! He will try to burn [you] with his horrible flame breath. Run around behind and grab him by [the] tail with [the] [B] Button. Once [you] grab hold, swing him around in great circles. Rotate [the] Control Stick to go faster and faster. The faster [you] swing him, [the] far[the]r he'll fly. Use [the] [C] Buttons to look around, Mario. You have to throw Bowser into one of [the] bombs in [the] four corners. Aim well, [the]n press [B] again to launch Bowser. Good luck, Mario! Our fate is in [you]r hands.
067	Tough luck, Mario! Princess Toadstool isn't here...Gwa ha ha!! Go ahead--just try to grab me by [the] tail! You'll never be able to swing ME around! A wimp like [you] won't throw me out of here! Never! Ha!
068	It's Lethal Lava Land! If [you] catch fire or fall into a pool of flames, [you]'ll be hopping mad, but don't lose [you]r cool. You can still control Mario--just try to keep calm!
069	Sometimes [you]'ll bump into invisible walls at [the] edges of [the] painting worlds. If [you] hit a wall while flying, [you]'ll bounce back.
070	You can return to [the] castle's main hall at any time from [the] painting worlds where [the] enemies live. Just stop, stand still, press Start to pause [the] game, [the]n select ”Exit Course.“ You don't have to collect all Power Stars in one course before going on to [the] next. Return later, when [you]'re more experienced, to pick up difficult ones. Whenever [you] find a Star, a hint for finding [the] next one will appear on [the] course's start screen. You can, however, collect any of [the] remaining Stars next. You don't have to recover [the] one described by [the] hint.
071	Danger Ahead! Beware of [the] strange cloud! Don't inhale! If [you] feel faint, run for higher ground and fresh air! Circle: Shelter Arrow: Entrance-Exit
072	High winds ahead! Pull [you]r Cap down tight. If it blows off, [you]'ll have to find it on this mountain.
073	Aarrgh! Ahoy, matey. I have sunken treasure, here, I do. But to pluck [the] plunder, [you] must open [the] Treasure Chests in [the] right order. What order is that, ye say? I'll never tell! //--The Cap'n
074	You can grab on to [the] edge of a cliff or ledge with [you]r fingertips and hang down from it. To drop from [the] edge, ei[the]r press [the] Control Stick in [the] direction of Mario's back or press [the] [Z] Button. To get up onto [the] ledge, ei[the]r press Up on [the] Control Stick or press [A] as soon as [you] grab [the] ledge to climb up quickly.
075	Mario!! My castle is in great peril. I know that Bowser is [the] cause...and I know that only [you] can stop him! The doors in [the] castle that have been sealed by Bowser can be opened only with Star Power. But [the]re are secret paths in [the] castle, paths that Bowser hasn't found. One of those paths is in this room, and it holds one of [the] castle's Secret Stars! Find that Secret Star, Mario! It will help [you] on [you]r quest. Please, Mario, [you] have to help us! Retrieve all of [the] Power Stars in [the] castle and free us from this awful prison! Please!
076	Thanks to [the] power of [the] Stars, life is returning to [the] castle. Please, Mario, [you] have to give Bowser [the] boot! Here, let me tell [you] a little something about [the] castle. In [the] room with [the] mirrors, look carefully for anything that's not reflected in [the] mirror. And when [you] go to [the] water town, [you] can flood it with a high jump into [the] painting. Oh, by [the] way, look what I found!
077	It is decreed that one shall pound [the] pillars.
078	Break open [the] Blue Coin Block by Pounding [the] Ground with [the] [Z] Button. One Blue Coin is worth five Yellow Coins. But [you] have to hurry! The coins will disappear if [you]'re not quick to collect [the]m! Too bad.
079	Owwwuu! Let me go! Uukee-kee! I was only teasing! Can't [you] take a joke? I'll tell [you] what, let's trade. If [you] let me go, I'll give [you] something really good. So, how about it? //Free him/ Hold on
080	Eeeh hee hee hee!
081	The mystery is of Wet or Dry. And where does [the] solution lie? The city welcomes visitors with [the] depth [the]y bring as [the]y enter.
082	Hold on to [you]r hat! If [you] lose it, [you]'ll be injured easily. If [you] do lose [you]r Cap, [you]'ll have to find it in [the] course where [you] lost it. Oh, boy, it's not looking good for Peach. She's still trapped somewhere inside [the] walls. Please, Mario, [you] have to help her! Did [you] know that [the]re are enemy worlds inside [the] walls? Yup. It's true. Bowser's troops are [the]re, too. Oh, here, take this. I've been keeping it for [you].
083	There's something strange about that clock. As [you] jump inside, watch [the] position of [the] big hand. Oh, look what I found! Here, Mario, catch!
084	Yeeoww! Unhand me, brute! I'm late, so late, I must make haste! This shiny thing? Mine! It's mine. Finders, keepers, losers... Late, late, late... Ouch! Take it [the]n! A gift from Bowser, it was. Now let me be! I have a date! I cannot be late for tea!
085	You don't stand a ghost of a chance in this house. If [you] walk out of here, [you] deserve... ...a Ghoul Medal...
086	Running around in circles makes some bad guys roll [the]ir eyes.
087	Santa Claus isn't [the] only one who can go down a chimney! Come on in! /--Cabin Proprietor
088	Work Elevator For those who get off here: Grab [the] pole to [the] left and slide carefully down.
089	Both ways fraught with danger! Watch [you]r feet! Those who can't do [the] Long Jump, tsk, tsk. Make [you]r way to [the] right. Right: Work Elevator /// Cloudy Maze Left: Black Hole ///Underground Lake Red Circle: Elevator 2 //// Underground Lake Arrow: You are here
090	Bwa ha ha ha! You've stepped right into my trap, just as I knew [you] would! I warn [you], ”Friend,“ watch [you]r step!
091	Danger! Strong Gusts! But [the] wind makes a comfy ride.
092	Pestering me again, are [you], Mario? Can't [you] see that I'm having a merry little time, making mischief with my minions? Now, return those Stars! My troops in [the] walls need [the]m! Bwa ha ha!
093	Mario! You again! Well that's just fine--I've been looking for something to fry with my fire breath! Your Star Power is useless against me! Your friends are all trapped within [the] walls... And [you]'ll never see [the] Princess again! Bwa ha ha ha!
094	Get a good run up [the] slope! Do [you] remember [the] Long Jump? Run, press [Z], [the]n jump!
095	To read a sign, stand in front of it and press [B], like [you] did just now. When [you] want to talk to a Koopa Troopa or o[the]r animal, stand right in front of it. Please recover [the] Stars that were stolen by Bowser in this course.
096	The path is narrow here. Easy does it! No one is allowed on top of [the] mountain! And if [you] know what's good for [you], [you] won't wake anyone who's sleeping! Move slowly, tread lightly.
097	Don't be a pushover! If anyone tries to shove [you] around, push back! It's one-on-one, with a fiery finish for [the] loser!
098	Come on in here... ...heh, heh, heh...
099	Eh he he... You're mine, now, hee hee! I'll pass right through this wall. Can [you] do that? Heh, heh, heh!
100	Ukkiki...Wakkiki...kee kee! Ha! I snagged it! It's mine! Heeheeheeee!
101	Ackk! Let...go... You're...choking...me... Cough...I've been framed! This Cap? Oh, all right, take it. It's a cool Cap, but I'll give it back. I think it looks better on me than it does on [you], though! Eeeee! Kee keee!
102	Pssst! The Boos are super shy. If [you] look [the]m in [the] eyes, [the]y fade away, but if [you] turn [you]r back, [the]y reappear. It's no use trying to hit [the]m when [the]y're fading away. Instead, sneak up behind [the]m and punch.
103	Upon four towers one must alight... Then at [the] peak shall shine [the] light...
104	The shadowy star in front of [you] is a ”Star Marker.“ When [you] collect all 8 Red Coins, [the] Star will appear here.
105	Ready for blastoff! Come on, hop into [the] cannon! You can reach [the] Star on [the] floating island by using [the] four cannons. Use [the] Control Stick to aim, [the]n press [A] to fire. If [you]'re handy, [you] can grab on to trees or poles to land.
106	Ready for blastoff! Come on, hop into [the] cannon!
107	Ghosts... ...don't... ...DIE! Heh, heh, heh! Can [you] get out of here... ...alive?
108	Boooooo-m! Here comes [the] master of mischief, [the] tower of terror, [the] Big Boo! Ka ha ha ha...
109	Ooooo Nooooo! Talk about out-of-body experiences--my body has melted away! Have [you] run in to any headhunters lately?? I could sure use a new body! Brrr! My face might freeze like this!
110	I need a good head on my shoulders. Do [you] know of anybody in need of a good body? Please! I'll follow [you] if [you] do!
111	Perfect! What a great new body! Here--this is a present for [you]. It's sure to warm [you] up.
112	Collect as many coins as possible! They'll refill [you]r Power Meter. You can check to see how many coins [you]'ve collected in each of [the] 15 enemy worlds. You can also recover power by touching [the] Spinning Heart. The faster [you] run through [the] heart, [the] more power [you]'ll recover.
113	There are special Caps in [the] red, green and blue blocks. Step on [the] switches in [the] hidden courses to activate [the] Cap Blocks.
114	It makes me so mad! We build [you]r houses, [you]r castles. We pave [you]r roads, and still [you] walk all over us. Do [you] ever say thank [you]? No! Well, [you]'re not going to wipe [you]r feet on me! I think I'll crush [you] just for fun! Do [you] have a problem with that? Just try to pound me, wimp! Ha!
115	No! Crushed again! I'm just a stepping stone, after all. I won't gravel, er, grovel. Here, [you] win. Take this with [you]!
116	Whaaa....Whaaat? Can it be that a pipsqueak like [you] has defused [the] Bob-omb king???? You might be fast enough to ground me, but [you]'ll have to pick up [the] pace if [you] want to take King Bowser by [the] tail. Methinks my troops could learn a lesson from [you]! Here is [you]r Star, as I promised, Mario. If [you] want to see me again, select this Star from [the] menu. For now, farewell.
117	Who...walk...here? Who...break...seal? Wake..ancient..ones? We no like light... Rrrrummbbble... We no like...intruders! Now battle... ...hand... ...to... ...hand!
118	Grrrrumbbble! What...happen? We...crushed like pebble. You so strong! You rule ancient pyramid! For today... Now, take Star of Power. We...sleep...darkness.
119	Grrr! I was a bit careless. This is not as I had planned...but I still hold [the] power of [the] Stars, and I still have Peach. Bwa ha ha! You'll get no more Stars from me! I'm not finished with [you] yet, but I'll let [you] go for now. You'll pay for this... later!
120	Ooowaah! Can it be that I've lost??? The power of [the] Stars has failed me... this time. Consider this a draw. Next time, I'll be in perfect condition. Now, if [you] want to see [you]r precious Princess, come to [the] top of [the] tower. I'll be waiting! Gwa ha ha ha!
121	Nooo! It can't be! You've really beaten me, Mario?!! I gave those troops power, but now it's fading away! Arrgghh! I can see peace returning to [the] world! I can't stand it! Hmmm... It's not over yet... C'mon troops! Let's watch [the] ending toge[the]r! Bwa ha ha!
122	The Black Hole Right: Work Elevator /// Cloudy Maze Left: Underground Lake
123	Metal Cavern Right: To Waterfall Left: Metal Cap Switch
124	Work Elevator Danger!! Read instructions thoroughly! Elevator continues in [the] direction of [the] arrow activated.
125	Hazy Maze-Exit Danger! Closed. Turn back now.
126	Up: Black Hole Right: Work Elevator /// Hazy Maze
127	Underground Lake Right: Metal Cave Left: Abandoned Mine ///(Closed) A gentle sea dragon lives here. Pound on his back to make him lower his head. Don't become his lunch.
128	You must fight with honor! It is against [the] royal rules to throw [the] king out of [the] ring!
129	Welcome to [the] Vanish Cap Switch Course! All of [the] blue blocks [you] find will become solid once [you] step on [the] Cap Switch. You'll disappear when [you] put on [the] Vanish Cap, so [you]'ll be able to elude enemies and walk through many things. Try it out!
130	Welcome to [the] Metal Cap Switch Course! Once [you] step on [the] Cap Switch, [the] green blocks will become solid. When [you] turn [you]r body into metal with [the] Metal Cap, [you] can walk underwater! Try it!
131	Welcome to [the] Wing Cap Course! Step on [the] red switch at [the] top of [the] tower, in [the] center of [the] rainbow ring. When [you] trigger [the] switch, all of [the] red blocks [you] find will become solid. Try out [the] Wing Cap! Do [the] Triple Jump to take off and press [Z] to land. Pull back on [the] Control Stick to go up and push forward to nose down, just as [you] would when flying an airplane.
132	Whoa, Mario, pal, [you] aren't trying to cheat, are [you]? Shortcuts aren't allowed. Now, I know that [you] know better. You're disqualified! Next time, play fair!
133	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 [the]ir power to create his own world in [the] paintings and walls. Please recover [the] Power Stars! As [you] find [the]m, [you] can use [the]ir 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!
134	The names of [the] Stars are also hints for finding [the]m. They are displayed at [the] beginning of each course. You can collect [the] Stars in any order. You won't find some Stars, enemies or items unless [you] select a specific Star. After [you] collect some Stars, [you] can try ano[the]r course. We're all waiting for [you]r help!
135	It was Bowser who stole [the] Stars. I saw him with my own eyes! He's hidden six Stars in each course, but [you] won't find all of [the]m in some courses until [you] press [the] Cap Switches. The Stars [you]'ve found will show on each course's starting screen. If [you] want to see some of [the] enemies [you]'ve already defeated, select [the] Stars [you] recovered from [the]m.
136	Wow! You've already recovered that many Stars? Way to go, Mario! I'll bet [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] need to recover from injuries, collect coins. Yellow Coins refill one piece of [the] Power Meter, Red Coins refill two pieces, and Blue Coins refill five. To make Blue Coins appear, pound on Blue Coin Blocks. Also, if [you] fall from high places, [you]'ll minimize damage if [you] Pound [the] Ground as [you] land.
137	Thanks, Mario! The castle is recovering its energy as [you] retrieve Power Stars, and [you]'ve chased Bowser right out of here, on to some area ahead. Oh, by [the] by, are [you] collecting coins? Special Stars appear when [you] collect 100 coins in each of [the] 15 courses!
138	Down: Underground Lake Left: Black Hole Right: Hazy Maze (Closed)
139	Above: Automatic Elevator Elevator begins automatically and follows pre-set course. It disappears automatically, too.
140	Elevator Area Right: Hazy Maze /// Entrance Left: Black Hole ///Elevator 1 Arrow: You are here
141	You've recovered one of [the] stolen Power Stars! Now [you] can open some of [the] sealed doors in [the] castle. Try [the] Princess's room on [the] second floor and [the] room with [the] painting of Whomp's Fortress on Floor 1. Bowser's troops are still gaining power, so [you] can't give up. Save us, Mario! Keep searching for Stars!
142	You've recovered three Power Stars! Now [you] can open any door with a 3 on its star. You can come and go from [the] open courses as [you] please. The enemies ahead are even meaner, so be careful!
143	You've recovered eight of [the] Power Stars! Now [you] can open [the] door with [the] big Star! But Bowser is just ahead...can [you] hear [the] Princess calling?
144	You've recovered 30 Power Stars! Now [you] can open [the] door with [the] big Star! But before [you] move on, how's it going o[the]rwise? Did [you] pound [the] two columns down? You didn't lose [you]r hat, did [you]? If [you] did, [you]'ll have to stomp on [the] condor to get it back! They say that Bowser has sneaked out of [the] sea and into [the] underground. Have [you] finally cornered him?
145	You've recovered 50 Power Stars! Now [you] can open [the] Star Door on [the] third floor. Bowser's [the]re, [you] know. Oh! You've found all of [the] Cap Switches, haven't [you]? Red, green and blue? The Caps [you] get from [the] colored blocks are really helpful. Hurry along, now. The third floor is just ahead.
146	You've found 70 Power Stars! The mystery of [the] endless stairs is solved, thanks to [you]--and is Bowser ever upset! Now, on to [the] final bout!
147	Are [you] using [the] Cap Blocks? You really should, [you] know. To make [the]m solid so [you] can break [the]m, [you] have to press [the] colored Cap Switches in [the] castle's hidden courses. You'll find [the] hidden courses only after regaining some of [the] Power Stars. The Cap Blocks are a big help! Red for [the] Wing Cap, green for [the] Metal Cap, blue for [the] Vanish Cap.
148	Snowman Mountain ahead. Keep out! And don't try [the] Triple Jump over [the] ice block shooter. If [you] fall into [the] freezing pond, [you]r power decreases quickly, and [you] won't recover automatically. //--The Snowman
149	Welcome to Princess Toadstool's secret slide! There's a Star hidden here that Bowser couldn't find. When [you] slide, press forward to speed up, pull back to slow down. If [you] slide really fast, [you]'ll win [the] Star!
150	Waaaa! You've flooded my house! Wh-why?? Look at this mess! What am I going to do now? The ceiling's ruined, [the] floor is soaked...what to do, what to do? Huff... huff...it makes me so... MAD!!! Everything's been going wrong ever since I got this Star...It's so shiny, but it makes me feel... strange...
151	I can't take this anymore! First [you] get me all wet, [the]n [you] stomp on me! Now I'm really, really, REALLY mad! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
152	Owwch! Uncle! Uncle! Okay, I give. Take this Star! Whew! I feel better now. I don't really need it anymore, anyway-- I can see [the] stars through my ceiling at night. They make me feel... ...peaceful. Please, come back and visit anytime.
153	Hey! Who's [the]re? What's climbing on me? Is it an ice ant? A snow flea? Whatever it is, it's bugging me! I think I'll blow it away!
154	Hold on to [you]r hat! If [you] lose it, [you]'ll be easily injured. If [you] lose it, look for it in [the] course where [you] lost it. Speaking of lost, [the] Princess is still stuck in [the] walls somewhere. Please help, Mario! Oh, [you] know that [the]re are secret worlds in [the] walls as well as in [the] paintings, right?
155	Thanks to [the] power of [the] Stars, life is returning to [the] castle. Please, Mario, [you] have to give Bowser [the] boot! Here, let me tell [you] a little something about [the] castle. In [the] room with [the] mirrors, look carefully for anything that's not reflected in [the] mirror. And when [you] go to [the] water town, [you] can flood it with a high jump into [the] painting.
156	The world inside [the] clock is so strange! When [you] jump inside, watch [the] position of [the] big hand!
157	Watch out! Don't let [you]rself be swallowed by quicksand. If [you] sink into [the] sand, [you] won't be able to jump, and if [you]r head goes under, [you]'ll be smo[the]red. The dark areas are bottomless pits.
158	1. If [you] jump repeatedly and time it right, [you]'ll jump higher and higher. If [you] run really fast and time three jumps right, [you] can do a Triple Jump. 2. Jump into a solid wall, [the]n jump again when [you] hit [the] wall. You can bounce to a higher level using this Wall Kick.
159	3. If [you] stop, press [Z] to crouch, [the]n jump, [you] can perform a Backward Somersault. To do a Long Jump, run fast, press [Z], [the]n jump.
160	Press [B] while running fast to do a Body Slide attack. To stand while sliding, press [A] or [B].
161	Mario!!! It that really [you]??? It has been so long since our last adventure! They told me that I might see [you] if I waited here, but I'd just about given up hope! Is it true? Have [you] really beaten Bowser? And restored [the] Stars to [the] castle? And saved [the] Princess? I knew [you] could do it! Now I have a very special message for [you]. ”Thanks for playing Super Mario 64! This is [the] end of [the] game, but not [the] end of [the] fun. We want [you] to keep on playing, so we have a little something for [you]. We hope that [you] like it! Enjoy!!!“ The Super Mario 64 Team
162	No, no, no! Not [you] again! I'm in a great hurry, can't [you] see? I've no time to squabble over Stars. Here, have it. I never meant to hide it from [you]... It's just that I'm in such a rush. That's it, that's all. Now, I must be off. Owww! Let me go!
163	Noooo! You've really beaten me this time, Mario! I can't stand losing to [you]! My troops...worthless! They've turned over all [the] Power Stars! What?! There are 120 in all??? Amazing! There were some in [the] castle that I missed??!! Now I see peace returning to [the] world... Oooo! I really hate that! I can't watch-- I'm outta here! Just [you] wait until next time. Until [the]n, keep that Control Stick smokin'! Buwaa ha ha!
164	Mario! What's up, pal? I haven't been on [the] slide lately, so I'm out of shape. Still, I'm always up for a good race, especially against an old sleddin' buddy. Whaddya say? Ready...set... //Go//// Don't Go
165	I take no responsibility whatsoever for those who get dizzy and pass out from running around this post.
166	I'll be back soon. I'm out training now, so come back later. //--Koopa [the] Quick
167	Princess Toadstool's castle is just ahead. Press [A] to jump, [Z] to crouch, and [B] to punch, read a sign, or grab something. Press [B] again to throw something [you]'re holding.
168	Hey! Knock it off! That's [the] second time [you]'ve nailed me. Now [you]'re asking for it, linguine breath!
169	Keep out! That means [you]! Arrgghh! Anyone entering this cave without permission will meet certain disaster.
