• "There was a sparkling shard in Bowser's Castle! Hurry and use the time hole to head back to the present!"
• "Now that Mario's made it back in time, take the shard and show it to Prof. E. Gadd."
• "What secrets does the Cobalt Star possess? Head for the new time hole! Wait! Going shopping first might be a good idea."
• "Looks like the path ahead leads into a frightening forest... Is Luigi brave enough to continue? Be strong, gentle Luigi! The Cobalt Star shards await!"

• "Mario finally got the second Cobalt Star shard, only to see it stolen by Baby Bowser! Better get to Professor E. Gadd and talk things out..."
• "Follow Baby Bowser into the time hole! But wait, what about that noisy Toad with the baby? Off to the inner garden!"
• "The new move's called a spin jump! Now Mario and Co. can reach those places that were too far before! Head for the time hole on the 2nd floor!"
• "Next stop is the dinosaur haven, Yoshi's Island! Something seems strange, though... Where are all the Yoshis?"
• "Look out! It's the Shroob Monster, Yoob! It's so huge...and hungry! First things first, find Baby Bowser and the Cobalt Star shards!"
• "Aha! You spotted Baby Bowser's minion, Kamek, in the village! If you follow him, you should find his boss! And you can rescue the Yoshi's cookies, too! Get to it, babies!"
• "Kamek's fled to the cliff top! Use your spin jump and water-guzzling skills to track him down. Don't forget your hammers and drill move, either!"
• "Kamek goes down! Keep up the good work and go get Baby Bowser, too! He's somewhere in the back of the cave!"
• "It's the return of Yoob! And you're in his belly! GROSS! Gather up the Yoshis and get outta here, pronto!"
• "The Yoshis have created an escape route! No time to hesitate, get moving! By the way, where did Baby Bowser disappear to?"
• "Princess Peach's attendant Toadbert has lost his memory... First things first, head for the exit and get outta here!"
• "Yippe! No more Yoob's tummy! Now to find Baby Bowser and reclaim those Cobalt Star shards!"
• "Mario rescued the Yoshis, recovered the star shards, and sent Baby Bowser packing! Time to get the remaining shards! Try talking to E. Gadd at the castle."
• "Time holes are popping up all over the place! Stay focused and go get the shards! Are the Toadsworths still babysitting Baby Peach?"
• "Another new action! This one's called Bros. Ball! Use it to zip up even the steepest of slopes! Ooh, that long staircase on the 2nd floor..."
• "Huh? Sand, sun, heat...a desert? Are the Shroobs here, too? No worries! Mario and company are ready to take on anything! Bring on the Shroobs!"
• "Princess Peach is nearby! Solve the desert mystery and get in that dome! But there are so many Shroobs here... Can you handle them?"
• "The secret of the desert's been unraveled! Get in the dome and check out the Shroob princess's speech. Is Princess Peach safe?"
• "Princess Peach has been eaten by an oversized Piranha Plant! And Kylie's been taken, too! They must be in the dome somewhere! Save 'em!"
• "Now this is a stage built for superstars... Yeahhhh... Anyway, where was I? Is this the dome's basement?"
• "That diapered fiend's eaten Kylie, too! Are Mario and company next? Please, no more tummies! Take that thing out!"
• "The giant Piranha Plant's down for the count, and Mario got the third star shard, too! Next up, rescue Princess Peach! Is the end in sight?"
• "Hurrah! Mario's rescued Princess Peach! But...what's that creepy fungus on her face? The Toadsworths have their hands full with two princesses."
• "Mario and company have learned two more actions, Baby Spin and Baby Cakes! Now there's no place the four of them can't go!"
• "Who is everyone talking about? Princess Peach is safe, and the Mushroom Kingdom's at peace in this time period... Check her chambers!"
• "The big boss is back! Guess we all forgot about Bowser. As per usual, he's kidnapped the princess - no surprise there. Head for the new time hole!"
• "Thwomps as far as the eye can see! Use new moves to get to the peak. I betcha Bowser and the princess are up there!"
• "KA-BOOOOM! Now that's an eruption! Gotta put a stop to it or else! Hey, wasn't there an odd little building nestled away around here?"
• "Professor E. Gadd's timely invention has doused the volcano! Now we're coming for you, Bowser!"
• "That Thwomp couple made things very interesting, but you made it into the volcano! It's burning up in here! Keep your cool and rescue Princess Peach!"
• "The inside of the volcano's all Thwomps, too. Play games with 'em or use 'em for elevators, but keep going down! Bowser must be found!"
• "Mario defeated Bowser and Baby Bowser, too! But this ain't over by a long shot. It's time to invade the Shroob's mother ship!"
• "Princess Peach was a fake! The Shroob princess's evil plan almost worked! Our last ray of hope is the key Kylie pilfered!"
• "Mario and company have been dropped off in the Shroob-devastated Toad Town. Their only goal now is to collect Cobalt Star shards!"
• "A vista of stars greets you as you leave Toad Town. Climb Star Hill and solve the mystery of the Cobalt Star!"
• "So Princess Shroob is the one who shattered the Cobalt Star! She must truly be frightened by its awesome might! There are three more shards to find. Head for the Star Shrine!"
• "Things have been delayed by the forced search for the enigmatic Aurora Block! Psst! What's up with Luigi's reading?"
• "Mario's gained entrance to the Star Shrine! The Cobalt Star is right before your eyes! Head into the shrine!"
• "Aha! Two Cobalt Star shards at once! Can you believe Toadbert had one all along? Anyway, get moving and chase them down!"
• "At last! Mario has all five Cobalt Star shards! Now you can enter Peach's Castle of the past from the third floor of the present-day Peach's Castle! You must hurry and save the Shroobified Toadbert and Kylie!"
• "The door to the final battle is open! Go, Mario and Baby Mario! Go, Luigi and Baby Luigi! Princess Peach is calling from inside the Shroob-infested castle!"
• "Answer Princess Peach's prayers and take down the mother ship! The future of the Mushroom Kingdom lies on the shoulders of our four superstars!"
• "The mother ship's been destroyed! Get back to Princess Peach at once!"
• "The Shroob's^[sic] have been beaten! Who knew baby tears were their bane? It's time to PARTY!"
