Character	Quotes
A Doogan walking to and fro behind the gallows. Tattle: "That's a lazy Doogan. He hunts shady 'jobs' that he expects to pay well. I bet he's never done an honest day's work in his life. What a piece of work."	"Professor Frankly? Actually, I think a guy by that name lives over on the east side... Just go east from here. As you enter town from the harbor, just hang a right. So, uh, what about him? Did this guy steal something important from you, or what?" "Hey, you don't have any good jobs, do you? You know, easy work, great pay? Or, at least, something easy? I don't do any heavy lifting. And I gotta get paid cash." "Hey, you don't have any good jobs, do you? You know, easy work, incredible pay? Yeah! If you've got easy work that pays a lot, I'm your man! I'm all OVER that!" "Hey, you don't have any good jobs, do you? You know, easy work, insane pay? Yeah! Easy work that surrounds a guy with lovely women, I'm your man!" "Hey, you don't have any good jobs, do you? You know, easy work, absurd pay? Yeah! Like, maybe something where I sing one song and collect royalties forever?" "Hey, you don't have any good jobs, do you? You know, easy work, amazing pay? Yeah! Like, maybe something where I do a little dance and get paid for life?" "Hey, you don't have any good jobs, do you? You know, easy work, unbelievable pay? Huh? Did you say lottery? No, no... No lottery for me. I lose WAY too much." "Hey, you don't have any good jobs, do you? You know, easy work, mind-blowing pay? It would be great if I could get paid a lot to sleep. Yeah, that's the job for me." "Hey, you don't have any good jobs, do you? You know, easy work, ridiculous pay? ...... Yeah, yeah! I got it, mister... Nobody pays anyone a lot to do something easy... Fine! I'll try working hard. I'll break a sweat...but I'd better get paid good for it!"
A Goomba to the east of the gallows. Tattle: "That guy's a local Goomba. He'll give you advice and stuff, so he's OK. His tips totally might come in handy, so you oughta talk to him as often as possible."	"You look like you don't know nothing, so I'll teach you something, how 'bout that? If you press , you can check your current HP. I can't believe you didn't know that. If you have low HP, you oughta go rest in an inn so you recover. Use your head." "You look like you don't know nothing, so I'll teach you something, how 'bout that? If you gotta replenish both HP and FP, inns are better than recovery blocks. Inns will refill all your Star Power, too, that's why... Recovery blocks won't, genius." "You look like you don't know nothing, so I'll teach you something, how 'bout that? In this town...the boss of the Robbos and Don Pianta are in a nasty turf war. If you wanna live long, you'd better either choose a side, or stay the heck out of it." "You look like you don't know nothing, so I'll teach you something, how 'bout that? Some people are so good at fighting, they fight with Stylish moves, you hear me? I'm pretty sure that guy who lives underground will tell you about Stylish moves... If you're interested, go talk to that guy, 'cause I'm all tapped out." "You look like you don't know nothing, so I'll teach you something, how 'bout that? Here in Rogueport...there's a world-famous archaeologist... Huh? You already knew that? Fine, smart guy. I'll have a better tip next time." "You look like you don't know nothing, so I'll teach you something, how 'bout that? There's a world-famous sailor named Bobbery here in Rogueport who... Huh? He's already with you? Fine, Mr. Big Brain. I'll have a better tip next time." "You look like you don't know nothing, so I'll teach you something, how 'bout that? There are secret blue pipes below us that are connected to other parts of the world. If you find them, you'll be able to go to distant places like Poshley Heights instantly!" "You look like you don't know nothing, so I'll teach you something, how 'bout that? There are ruins beneath us, and you can go down there and find these pipes that... Huh? You already knew that? Fine, Mr. Brilliant. I'll have a better tip next time." "You look like you don't know nothing, so I'll teach you something, how 'bout that? There's this guy named Mario who saved the whole world in its darkest hour... Huh? YOU'RE Mario?!? W-W-W-Wait a sec'! Whoa! The rumors were all true?"
A Doogan in the backside of the plaza. Tattle: "That's a suspicious Doogan. He craves that one big score, but I doubt it'll happen. I mean, even if he did make some money, he'd just blow it. He depresses me..."	"Dang, yesterday I blew through 100 coins at the parlor. You believe that? But not next time, man! I'm coming back a winner! The odds favor me now!" "Shoot, yesterday I blew through 200 coins at the parlor. You believe that? But next time..." "Man, yesterday I blew through 300 coins at the parlor. You believe that? But next time I'm gonna win. Just mark my words, man! I've got a system now!" "Yesterday I blew through 400 coins at the parlor...but next time, it'll all be good!" "Yesterday I blew through 500 coins at the parlor...but not next time! No way, man!" "Yesterday I blew through 600 coins at the parlor...but next time, I'm gonna... Oh, wait. Now I'm all outta cash. That isn't good." "Yesterday I blew through 700 coins at the parlor...but next time, I'll do better... I'm gonna hawk my expensive wristwatch and play some more! Brilliant move, eh?" "Yesterday I blew through 800 coins at the parlor...but next time, I'm definitely winning... Actually, you know what? Maybe I'll just quit..." "Hey, listen to this, man! Yesterday at the parlor... I won 100,000 coins! Yeah! Finally! I finally won! The dark skies all cleared up, I finally won... Great days are here at last! Hooray!"
A Bandit in the leftmost house in the backside of the plaza. He is initially in the east part of Rogueport, dashing towards Mario and stealing half of his coins. Tattle: "That's a bandit who's made this place his hideout. Seems like he totally loves this place...but would it kill him to clean up a bit?"	"Eeeeeeeeeeeooops! Uh... Fancy meeting you here! You're pretty dang persistent, buddy! What a pain! Fine! FINE, OK? You got me. I'll give you your coins back. Here." "Huzzat?!? Hey! Aren't you that doofus who klutzed into me? You really owe it to yourself to carry a little cash around, buddy. Treat yourself right. I mean, I went to the trouble of trying to pick your pocket, but I didn't get a single coin!" "Lemme give you a news flash: even the innocent-looking people in town are thieves! So, don't come grumbling to me about losing a little pocket change, OK, buddy?" "Lemme give you a news flash: even the innocent-looking people in town are robbers! So, don't come crying to me about losing a little pocket change, OK, buddy?" "You got some kinda problem? You think you can just barge into my hideout, buddy? ...You're probably just jealous. No one snooping around... It's the perfect hideout spot!" "You got some kinda problem? You think you can just barge into my hideout, buddy? ...You're probably just jealous. No one snooping around... It's the perfect hideout spot! With all this garbage, there are tons of flies and stuff... Who'd want to come in here?" "You got some kinda problem? You think you can just barge into my hideout, buddy? ...You're probably just jealous. No one snooping around... It's the perfect hideout spot! This garbage attracts flies and huge roaches like crazy. Who'd want to come in here?" "You got some kinda problem? You think you can just barge into my hideout, buddy? ...You're probably just jealous. No one snooping around... It's the perfect hideout spot! Since there's garbage all over, the place just REEKS! Who'd want to come in here?" "You got some kinda problem? You think you can just barge into my hideout, buddy? ...You're probably just jealous. No one snooping around... It's the perfect hideout spot! I mean, look at this garbage! The place is a total mess! Who'd want to come in here?" "You got some kinda problem? You think you can just barge into my hideout, buddy? ...You're probably just jealous. No one snooping around... It's the perfect hideout spot! No windows... No breeze... It's all muggy and nasty! Who'd want to come in here?" "You got some kinda problem? You think you can just barge into my hideout, buddy? ...You're probably just jealous. No one snooping around... It's the perfect hideout spot! There's no natural light, so it's all dark and scary! Who'd want to come in here?" "You got some kinda problem? You think you can just barge into my hideout, buddy? ...You're probably just jealous. No one snooping around... It's the perfect hideout spot! Garbage... Flies... Roaches... Stinky... Dirty... Muggy... And there's no sunlight! Ohhhhhh! No WONDER! That's why nobody comes here! This place is gross! Ah, well. I can get used to living just about anywhere... I guess... Bleah."
A Squeek in Podley's Place. Tattle: "That guy practically lives here... He must like it, huh? He's like, the ultimate regular. As far as I can tell, he's recounting the tales of every love of his life, one by one."	"... ... Can't you take a hint, pal? '...' means SCRAM! Don't talk to me!" "... ... '...' means SCRAM! Don't talk to me! My heart's burning for my long-lost love. Oh, Ms. Mowz, you sly, sultry, little thief... I hope you're doing well, wherever you are." "... ... '...' means SCRAM! Don't talk to me! My heart's burning for my long-lost love. Oh... Where has my beloved actress gone? Why did she forsake me? Yes, Flurrie was her name... She was skinny and toned, with a voice like an angel... But she left the bright lights behind and went off to live in peace and quiet..." "... ... '...' means SCRAM! Don't talk to me! My heart's burning for my long-lost love. Yes, the reception Boo at the parlor in the west part of town... How is she, I wonder? I'll never forget those eyes... and the passionate secrets that they hold." "... ... '...' means SCRAM! Don't talk to me! My heart's burning for my long-lost love. Yes, I'm speaking of the extraordinary beauty at the juice shop in Glitzville... No matter how many times I flirted, she never paid me the slightest attention..." "... ... '...' means SCRAM! Don't talk to me! My heart's burning for my long-lost love. I don't want to say this too loudly, you understand... But this blossom is the daughter of Don Pianta. Francesca, the temptress... I haven't seen her around town lately. I hope she hasn't eloped with another..." "... ... '...' means SCRAM! Don't talk to me! My heart's burning for my long-lost love. I've only ridden the Excess Express once in my entire life, you understand... But I met an angelic waitress in the dining car and gave her a present. I wonder if she's treasuring that gift, the earring I gave her out of purest love..." "... ... '...' means SCRAM! Don't talk to me! My heart's burning for my long-lost love. I've been to Poshley Heights only once in my entire life, you understand... But when I was there, I gave a gift to a gorgeous madame who lingered outdoors. I wonder if she treasures that gift, the silver ring I gave her out of purest love..." 1 "... ... I don't think I'll ever love again... As long as the world is at peace, I'll be happy... I think... Uh..."
A Bob-omb sailor in Podley's Place. Tattle: "That guy's a Bob-omb sailor. I think he comes here every time his ship makes port. I don't blame him. This place has totally cool atmosphere. I'd be a regular, too..."	"Oy. I used to sail around and run wild in me younger days, but I'm a reformed sailor now. I used to go 'round explodin' all over the place without givin' it much thought." "Oy. I used to sail around and run wild in me younger days, but I'm a reformed sailor now. I was blowin' up north, south, east, and west back then. I was a real nutter!" "Oy. I used to sail around and run wild in me younger days, but I'm a reformed sailor now. I used to blow up all the time without payin' any heed to wot ordinary blokes thought." "Oy. I used to sail around and run wild in me younger days, but I'm a reformed sailor now. But then I got to thinkin'... Is blowin' up a part of the national Bob-omb identity? Naw, I figured... There must be lots o' blokes bein' all Bob-omb-ish wifout blowin' up! It was after I realized that that I quit blowin' up all the time. It was an eye-opener!" "Fer a Bob-omb, blowin' up is like throwin' a punch fer an ordinary bloke... If you wanna leave the biggest impression, you gotta do it wif perfect timin'. Me mum said that once you learn that timin', yer finally an adult Bob-omb. Ah, Mum." "Once I learned proper timin' for explodin', I started thinkin' it was an art form! But now I know: an explosion's just an explosion, and there ain't no way around it..." "When I was a lad and blowin' up all the time, some mates I respected once told me... 'Explodin' without thinkin' is like drinkin' coffee wifout any cream. It's just wrong.'" "I sense a shadow fallin' across this town, mate... Now may be time fer me to release all my pent-up explosions, I'm thinkin'..." "The moment that might 'ave needed my explosions seems to 'ave passed, eh? When that sky filled up with darkness, I was so shook I almost exploded on the spot!"

¹ - This seems to be a reference to Toodles, but in the game her ring is gold instead of silver.

Petalburg

Character	Quotes (excluding those during cutscenes)
A Koopa Troopa near the west entrance who welcomes visitors. Tattle: "That's a Petalburg Koopa. He seems sorta like the spokesperson for this town. I heard this guy's thinking of running for mayor. He must be more ambitious than he looks."	"Visitors are sure rare here, but they're always welcome! Make yourselves at home." "I don't know if you know, but there's an odd-shaped boulder west of the village. Yeppity, that thing's been around since way before I was even born. I figure it must be a relic of a long-lost civilization. Sounds cool, right?" "You know, I bet there's a whole world we know nothing about past Hooktail's castle. But...wait! Don't tell me! I want to see it for myself! You know, explore. Like you!" "I want to have an adventure like you guys. Actually, I even went to Hooktail Castle once. And you know what? The drawbridge over the moat was busted. I couldn't get in. How did you guys manage to get across that moat with the drawbridge broken, huh?" "Huh? What's that? General White? Oh, he was here a while ago, but he said he was taking a trip. And then he left. Wait, hang on a sec'... He did say something about a deserted isle to the south... He was either going there... or NOT going there..." "I want to have an adventure like you guys. Actually, I even went to Hooktail Castle once. And you know what? The drawbridge over the moat was busted. I couldn't get in. How are you guys going to get across that moat with the drawbridge broken, huh?"
A red Toad near the bridge in the west scene. Tattle: "That's a Toad from Petalburg. He seems like, totally obsessed with Hooktail. Then again, he looks kinda like everything freaks him out. Poor little guy..."	"You saw Hooktail on your way here? Are you sure? Big old dragon, tail like a hook? Wow, you're super-duper lucky it didn't see you! I'm not even kidding with you. If it'd seen you, I'm sure it would've gobbled you up like an after-dinner mint. It must've been stuffed or thought you looked gross... At any rate, you were lucky." "Wait, my ears must be broken. Did you say you're planning on battling Hooktail? That sounds like a bad joke! And here's the punchline: you, squished to paper-thinness!" "Some rumormonger told me you guys defeated Hooktail... That's just a joke, right? Whaaaat? It's true?!? No way! I figured it was gonna crumple you up and throw you in its trash can!" "So, it's true that you guys defeated Hooktail? Wow! I'm sorry I doubted you. But really... Do you blame me? I mean, you're so skinny! You're wafer-thin!"
A red Toad kid in the west scene. He loves video games and breaks the fourth wall often. Tattle: "This kid sure is a fanatic. All he talks about is video games, you notice that? I wonder if he's finished his homework for today? Y'know, homework's important, too!"	"Hey, what's up? I gotta say, I'm really hooked on playing GBA games lately. There's this one game that just absolutely rules. It's called 'Fire Emblem'... You ever heard of it? Man, it ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!" "Hey, what's shaking? I gotta say, I've been playing a lot of Nintendo 64 games recently. You know the N64, right? Well, the game I play the most on it is 'Paper Mario.' There's this girl in the game, Bow, who's pretty much the cutest Boo OF ALL TIME!!!" "Hey, I gotta say, all I do is play my Nintendo GameCube. Best system ever, am I right? Yeah, I think so, too. Anyway, I saved up for a new game... The sequel to 'Paper Mario'! I just got started, but it's a blast so far. A BLAAAST! Try it for yourself and see!" "I've been playing 'Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door' like crazy lately... I wasn't sure at first... But that game is AWESOME! I just beat it! Every chapter! Totally cool ending! I loved it. So worth the money! Think there'll be a sequel? If not, I hope they make a Paper Luigi game. Yeah! I bet that'd be awesome, too..." "I've gotta say, I've been playing the new Paper Mario game almost nonstop. I'm on the fence so far... Gotta put serious time into a game to review it properly. But I can definitely tell you this: if you're a Luigi fan, do NOT miss out on this one!"
A Koopa Troopa in the easternmost house of the west scene. He is a fan of Princess Peach. Tattle: "This guy's apparently a total die-hard Peach fan. He even collects Peach merchandise! He has posters and pictures up everywhere. Boy, get a life, know what I mean? Hey! Mario! Don't tell me YOU have a secret collection of plush Peach dolls, too!"	"Hey, uh... Well, come on in, I guess! Door's open! Oh, Hooktail? It lives at the top of that old castle beyond this hummock. Have you heard the rumors? Some say lots of treasure is hidden in that castle. Scores of people have gone in search of it, but...not a one has returned. So...what do you think? You're getting scared, huh?" "You're going to the castle? You're really dying to get that treasure, aren't you? Careful... I've heard that Hooktail's not the only nasty beast in that castle. I'd love some treasure, too, but do I want to become a snack for it? No thanks! We Koopas are long-lived for a reason, you know. Good luck being digested and all." "You beat Hooktail? Wow! Hey, so tell me... Find any treasure?" (Upon selecting any of "You bet we did!" or "Who needs treasure?" or "None of your beeswax!") "Oh, OK... They say the Koopas who perished there cursed the place with their regret. So, anyone who claims the treasure will lose all his strength. Yeah. Nasty, huh? ...So, what do you think? You scared now, or what? Ha! I'm just messing with you!" "Oh, is that so? Hooktail is toast, huh? I GUESS that's a good thing... Although... Well, I've heard that Hooktail had LOTS of dragon friends. Yeah. And I've heard they're all much, MUCH meaner and more powerful than Hooktail... ...So, what do you think? You shaking now, or what? Ha! Psych! Served!"
A Bub-ulb with blue petals in the west of the east scene. Tattle: "That's a Bub-ulb, a talking flower. I think he lives in Petalburg. I know he's a plant, but he makes more sense than these other crazy Petalburgers!"	"This village is very nice. Clear water, clean air... Absolutely delicious. But this foul Hooktail... It's made everyone forget their fortunes. How sad." "If only this Hooktail were gone, I'm sure everyone's hearts would shine again. I am just a simple soul, but I remain sure this is the key to restoring happiness here." "Rejoice! The fearful Hooktail is gone, and everyone is of good cheer once again! I truly hope that now people will begin to visit this village once more." "This town is very peaceful. Yes, and that is why there are so many flowers. But...I have heard there are places in the world where no flowers bloom. I could never forgive myself if I did nothing to try to bring flowers to such places. That is why I shoot out spores as often as I can. It is my civic duty!"
A Koopa Troopa in the east scene. Tattle: "That's a Petalburg Koopa. He always seems to be worried about something. It's weird, too, 'cause the rest of this town is so laid-back, y'know?"	"Boy, the mayor has been so forgetful lately. I'm actually worried the old gipper may even forget my face one of these days!" "Sniff... SNIFFFFFFFF... The scent of this grass has healing properties, I swear. It just takes me to a happy place, know what I mean? You think so, too, right?" (Upon selecting either "Boy, do I!" or "You're a wacko!") "Fair enough." "You know, I've been worrying about the mayor lately... He's been so darn forgetful... But he says he's always been forgetful... Yeah! Ever since he was a kid, he says. I guess I never should have worried, right? Seriously, what a waste of brainpower. But...now that I think on it... maybe I'M getting forgetful! Now I'm worried about me..."
A red Toad in the east scene. Tattle: "That's a Toad from Petalburg. He just seems like a regular Toad to me... But I hear he leads a secret life as president of the Luigi Fan Club!"	"Hey, Hooktail's scary, but so is the monster that lives in the fortress near town! I mean, normal attacks are completely useless against it! At least, that's what I heard. Oh, and that's not all! Fire attacks are ALSO useless! The very idea freaks me out!" "What? No way! ...Really? You defeated the monster in that fortress? Wow! You must be tougher than you look, mister! I underestimated you." "Wait... What did you say? You defeated Hooktail, too? You really are cool, mister! Hey, wait a minute! Could you be...that super-famous guy? That guy named...Luigi? Yeah, you look just like him! I'm right, aren't I?" "Hey, Mario... You're Luigi's older brother, right? That's so cool! I mean, you're cool, too, and all, but I just think Luigi is the greatest!" "Hey, Mario... You're Luigi's older brother, right? That's so rad! I mean, you're rad, too, and all, but I just think Luigi is the greatest! See, me personally? I think that being able to jump that high is totally awesome."
A Koopa Troopa guarding the east exit of Petalburg. Tattle: "That's the gatekeeper of Petalburg. He's super-dutiful about guarding this gate. But I bet he'd totally run for cover if real monsters ever did show up here... I just get a feeling about him. Goomba's intuition, maybe?"	"An old stronghold called Shhwonk Fortress lies ahead. A stone creature lives there. At least, it MIGHT live there. This gate is to keep it out. My job...is guarding the gate." "Be prepared for trouble, and trouble will pass you by. That's what I always say! By which I mean, it'd be wise to stock up on items before you go to Shhwonk Fortress. I've heard there are beasts there that you can't beat in battle without items. My personal recommendation? Probably POW Blocks. Yeah. They're always a solid choice." "You defeated the fabled stone monster of Shhwonk? Whoa! Well done! But wait... Hold on, now... That means I have no more job, doesn't it? Well, what do you suppose I should do now, huh? What a pickle..." "Huh? Did I hear that right? The stone monster appeared? So, the stories were true... You'd better go and buy some items then. You know, just to be on the safe side. Yup, that'd be a smart move. And the shopkeeper will be psyched to see you, too." 2 "Huh?!? You say you beat Hooktail??? That's incredible! Amazing! So I guess that means your adventure is finally over, eh? What? It's only just begun?!? Wow, really? In that case, you'd better stock up on more items. I bet they'll come in handy!" "Thanks to you, it'll be calm here again. Of course, peace and quiet is bad for business. Nobody goes in that shop anymore. The business world is a rough place, man... Hey! Buy some items once in a while! The guy in the shop sure would appreciate it!"

Glitzville

Character	Quotes
A red Toad walking to and fro in the north of the open area. Tattle: "That's a Toad from Glitzville. I think he works here. I don't know why, but he seems to be cheering for us. Hey, more power to ya!"	"You see that Hot Dog Stand over there? Best Hot Dog menu of all time, no joke. Hey, but you look more into fighting than Hot Dogs... Are you a pro? I'll root for you!" "Woo! The Great Gonzales! You're the coolest ever! I root for you all the time!" "I made a couple quick coins the other day helping the juice shop guy fix his roof... But I saw the weirdest design ever up there... It was this arrowlike thing... Anyway, I bet you know, but I did a Spin Jump on that blue switch to get up there." "I'm always pulling for you out there, Gonzales! Yeah! Most merciless fighter ever!" "You can probably TASTE that championship belt, huh? I'm pulling for you!" "Congratulations, champ! I was with you from day ONE, Gonzales! I believed!" "The greatest fighter ever... The man... Great Gonzales... You gotta fight again! I'll wait for your comeback until the END OF TIME!!!" "I believed! I believed! I knew you'd come back, Gonzales! I KNEW IT!!!" "Still the greatest ever! The Great Gonzales! Champ! That didn't take you long!" "You know, when I see the Great Gonzales out there scrapping, I get PUMPED! Just goes to show, you gotta believe, no matter what! Never retire, Gonzales!"
An orange Toad in the southwest of the open area. Tattle: "That's a Toad from Glitzville. She really wants to travel, but she's terrified of flying. ...So my question is, how in the heck do you think she got here? Ponder THAT!"	"You rode the blimp here, didn't you? Boy, I envy you. I'm dying to ride that thing, but air travel makes me yack." "It's so sad... I have an adventurous heart, but a queasy stomach..." "Unless I cure my airsickness, I'll be stuck here forever... I have to find a way..." "I don't know if you know... Besides the airsickness... I'm also afraid of heights..." "I wonder... Do you think I can cure my airsickness by closing my eyes and chewing gum?" "I've decided! Life's too short! Forget this airsickness! I'm riding that blimp! ...But... I'm still nervous... I mean, you can't get off along the way... Are there parachutes?" "If they ever make a movie of my life, it'll be called 'The Worrywart of Glitzville.'" "I know it sounds like I'm exaggerating, but I think I might never leave here."
A Lakitu in the southwest of the open area. Tattle: "That's a Lakitu. He's come here for the atmosphere... Get it? Atmosphere? Ha! Anyway, he seems to think jokes like that beauty are totally hilarious."	"Glitzville hangs out in the clouds... I'll give you two guesses why I like it here." "Y'know, people always accuse me of having my head in the clouds, but it's not true. I'm actually quite well grounded. Just not literally." "Y'know how they say the sun hides behind the clouds? This 'son' does that too!" "See the sunglasses my bud has on? They're prescription. He has cloudy vision!" "I know I have goggles on, but my eyesight is 20/20. They're what you call 'fashion.'" "A lot of Lakitus tell me that I seem very down-to-earth. Is that an insult or what?" "I used to try to trick people into thinking I could tell their fortunes... I'd be like: 'Dark clouds are massing on the horizon.' Heh heh heh... Awesome." "Most people get sad when it's cloudy out, but not me... I'm cloudy every day!" "Hey, I'm a pretty good storyteller, don't you think? Yeah, I want to be a writer... A skywriter! Heh heh heh!"
A Doogan in the southeast of the open area. Tattle: "That's a Doogan. He's really into pro fights. Obviously, he loves the Glitz Pit. You can always tell true fight fans by how totally rabid their opinions are."	"Haven't seen your face around here...and I know I'd remember a 'stache like that. Listen, guy, if you wanna see a match, head on inside. That's the Glitz Pit." "What's the word, guy? You really think you can make it as a pro fighter?" "I hear you're pretty good, guy. Maybe you have a knack for beating people senseless." "Wow... I heard the good word, guy. So, you made it to the major league, huh? Shoot, if you could make it... Maybe I oughta try my hand in the ring..." "So... I heard you're ranked pretty high in the major league these days, guy... Yeah, I definitely have to look into this pro-fighting racket. Must be simple..." "You're the champion now?!? ...Oh, I have GOT to give pro fighting a shot now." "Ever hear of fighter's block? Someday...you'll realize it's tough to fight forever." "You're making a comeback? I wouldn't even bother, guy. Rawk Hawk's invincible now." "I gotta admit...that Rawk Hawk guy was overrated. You're the real deal!" "Times always change, guy... Today's number one may be tomorrow's big loser!"
A Lakitu in the Fresh Juice Shop. Tattle: "That's a Lakitu fight fan. Apparently he thinks Prince Mush is the bomb. Prince Mush must've been a pretty big deal, sounds like. I wish I'd seen him just once."	"Uh... You don't look very familiar. You on vacation? Me? Just a Lakitu who digs on combat sports, dude. Nice meeting you." "Hey, what's shaking, dude? I heard you're fighting. Here's hoping you can become a star like Prince Mush!" "You wanna know something? That Rawk Hawk is actually a total coward, dude. I heard this rumor that he rigged his fight with Prince Mush to make him withdraw." "Hey, what's shaking, dude? Keep it clean out there, OK? Prince Mush always did..." "Hey, what's shaking, dude? Knock some heads today, OK? Prince Mush always did..." "Hey, what's shaking, Champ? Know what? You may even be stronger than Prince Mush!" "Hey, what's shaking, Champ? I can't believe you aren't gonna be in the Pit anymore..." "Hey, what's shaking, Champ? Welcome back, dude! Ready to rock the Pit again?" "Hey, what's shaking, Champ? Your name's gonna live forever here, dude!" "Hey, what's shaking, Champ? You're always the champ to me, no matter what."
A Doogan in the Fresh Juice Shop. Tattle: "That's a Doogan fight fan. He seems to be a totally huge Rawk Hawk fan. Know what I think, though? He mostly just wants to win his bets."	"Today's main event will rule! I'm betting on Rawk Hawk, no matter who's fighting him!" "Hey, Gonzales. Wassup? Go knock yourself out, man!" "Huh? The Great Gonzales? No offense, man, but I don't follow minor-leaguers." "I could use a couple extra coins...so I'll just bet on Rawk Hawk again! Rawk Hawk will never lose... unless Prince Mush suddenly appears, and that ain't likely!" "Gonzales! I gotta tell you, man, even if you challenge the champion... I'm still betting the farm on Rawk Hawk! 'Cause that guy is unstoppable!" "Big, bad Great Gonzales! I gotta thank you, man! I made a killing on you! What? Rawk Hawk? Who, me? What are you talking about? I've always been YOUR fan!" "If you're out of the picture, Rawk Hawk will reign again! I'll be betting on him!" "You came back? Wow, man! But even you can't beat the new, improved Rawk Hawk!" "You still got it, man! I made a fortune betting on you, Gonzales! Huh? Rawk Hawk? Who, me? Are you crazy? I've always been a Gonzales man!" "If you always bet the favorite, you win a whole lot, even if you don't win much. So, you'll know you made it big if I start betting on you, buddy!"

BA-BOOIE? They say moon is round like earth, BA-POW... But, I am not even sure... that earth is round, BA-KOW! Why? Well, space is out there, but cannot be seen, right, BA-PLOWIE?
