Tattle: "By the sound of it, something bad happened to this sailor, and now he hates the sea. Sounds so sad... I wonder what he thinks about when he looks out at the ocean..."
  • "What you want, pal? Huh? A princess in a pink dress? I ain't seen nothing like that, no. I'd remember a princess, probably. Why do you want this chick, anyway, pal? Owe you money? Or is she yer girlfriend?"
  • "Not that you care, but I gave up all my life's dreams. Now I just stare at the sea. I walk around...alone. I wait for a ship that never returns. Life stinks, you know that?"
  • "Once, a great pirate named Cortez wreaked havoc on these seas, y'know. People in town still tell stories about that guy... He's like a legend..."
  • "See that ship docked there? She belongs to Flavio, the merchant trader. He don't sail too often, though. Mostly he hangs at Podley's joint on the plaza."
  • "Off to that island, are ya? Well, at least Flavio's ship is the best in the harbor. You oughta be fine as long as you don't see any ghosts. But if the pirate king's curse is real, there ain't a ship on the sea that can save you."
  • "I'm more interested in the casualties of a treasure hunt than I am in the treasure. Morbid, huh? Yeah, I know. Well, you try not to become a treasure ghost, OK, pal?"
  • "If it weren't for you, those guys never would've returned. Thanks, pal!"
  • "Hey, the sun came back, pal! Was it you? Did YOU save us? I'm...happy! I'm SOOO happy! I want to embrace life again... I want to BELIEVE again... Sniff... I love you, man."

An orange Toad in Rogueport Harbor.
An orange Toad hanging in the open area near the stairs. He appears after Goombella joins Mario's party.

Tattle: "That's a Toad sailor who works here at Rogueport Harbor. I hear he loves his family so much that it's hard for him to go on long voyages."
  • "Hey, in case you don't know, the plaza's through the gate at the top of the stairs. There are shops and inns and stuff there. You ought to take a good look around."
  • "You know what I've learned? The world is full of strange and mysterious places. Yup. I sure would love to go see them all one day. That'd be a logistical nightmare, though."
  • "Yup, the world sure is full of strange and mind-warpingly wonderful places, all right... What's that? ...Boggly Woods? Huh! Never heard of them... I'd love to see 'em one day..."
  • "Yup, the world sure is full of strange and mind-bogglingly sensational places, all right... What's that? A sky-city? Huh! Never heard of THAT... I'd love to see it one day..."
  • "Yup, the world sure is full of strange and mind-bendingly fantastic places, all right... ...A town in perpetual dusk? Huh! Never heard of THAT... I'd love to see it one day..."
  • "...What? Keelhaul Key? Oh, that place is absolutely awful, I've heard. Not long ago, ship after ship went there hunting treasure, but none ever returned... I bet they met the bad end of the pirate king's curse. Those guys were dumb."
  • "Setting sail at last, eh? Treasure has its allure, but my family needs me. Dreaming dreams is all well and good, but certain-death voyages? I'll pass, thanks."
  • "Admiral Bobbery? I'm fairly sure there was an old guy by that name living in the east part of town."
  • "Wow, those guys all looked excited... They didn't get rich, but I still kind of envy them."
  • "...Poshley Heights? Only filthy-rich folks live there, right? Not that I've ever been..."
  • "WHAT?!? You went to the dang moon? Why should I believe you? Did you get the man in the moon's autograph?"
  • "What?!? There was an evil shadow queen sleeping deep beneath this town?!? Huh? And you defeated her? Listen... You really need to quit with the compulsive lying."

  • "Blimey! A fight?!? Corkin'! Heh heh! Ain't nothin' so fun as watchin' some poor bloke 'ave it out wif his missus, eh? Am I right, mate?"
  • "Lissen, mate... You'll run into all sorts o' trouble if you don't keep your eyes peeled. This is ROGUEport, after all. The town's rotten wif crooks, thieves, an' 'ooligans."
  • "K-Keelhaul Key? You mean the island where the treasure hoard of Cortez, the pirate king, is hidden? So...you want treasure, eh? Fine, but keep an eye out or the pirate curse'll get ya!"
  • "So THAT'S how you're doin' it! You an that mental Flavio... Uh, rather, that dashin' guy... Well, at any rate, be careful. That island is right nasty. Prepare yourself, eh?"
  • "Admiral Bobbery? Yeah, sure, that bloke used to practically live at Podley's Place, on the plaza. He'd stay too late every now an' then an' that lovely wife of his would pick 'im up."
  • "Going at last, are ya? Try not to die a 'orrible death, all right, then?"
  • "So, there WERE ghosts, eh? I don't care what kinda ship ya got! I'd of been paralyzed! But hey! Comin' back on a better ship than you left on is quite the score!"

  • "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, 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."

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 Z Button, 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."

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? 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."

  • "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?"

  • "... ... Can't you take a hint, pal? '...' means SCRAM! Don't talk to me!"

A Bob-omb sailor in Podley's Place.

Tattle: "That Koopa lives here. He must've been born lucky, 'cause he ALWAYS succeeds. He has all the money he'll ever need, but I think he's still unfulfilled somehow. Hmm... Then again, that doesn't surprise me, since he spends all day in bed. It just goes to show, you can't buy happiness, and you should occasionally leave bed."

  • "Yesterday I got out of bed for the first time in a while and went for a walk. I wandered under the sky... I had completely forgotten just how blue it can be. No matter how much money I have, I'll never be able to buy that blue, blue sky. But it's given me insight into how I can use the endless sums of money I have..."
  • "There was this guy who said he wanted to turn the novel 'Paper Mario' into a movie. He said he wanted me to help him do it. Sort of as an executive producer. I read that novel, too, and it was pretty disturbing. Still, I was moved. I thought, THIS would be an effective use of my vast sums of money! Perhaps the time for me to get out of bed and become productive has finally come."

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ This seems to be a reference to Toodles, but in the game her ring is gold instead of silver. This disparency also exists in the Japanese version of the game, where the Squeek refers to his ring as『ぎんのゆびわ』(Gin no Yubiwa, "Silver Ring") while Toodles's ring is called『きんのゆびわ』(Kin no Yubiwa, "Gold Ring").
  2. ^ This is a reference to William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
  3. ^ This is a pun on "Scrambled Eggs and Ham" and William Shakespeare's Hamlet. In the Japanese version of the game, the play is called『オムレット』(Omuretto), a pun on "omelette" and "Hamlet".
  4. ^ This is a reference to William Shakespeare's King Lear.
  5. ^ This quote is present in the game coding, but it is likely unused.
  6. ^ In the Japanese version of the game, the guessed name is「プニスケ」(Punisuke), from「プニ」(Puni, "Puni") and「助」(-suke, a male name suffix).
  7. ^ This name is a combination of「キノピオ」(Kinopio, "Toad") and「子」(ko, "child"). The same formation is used for Toadette and Vanna T., where「子」(-ko) is a female name suffix.
  8. ^ a b The two Toad sailors have different tattles in the Japanese version of the game.
    ボロ水夫A:「ふなのりの キノピオよ / あたしたちと おなじようなに あって / このしまに たどりついた すいふの一人ひとり // トロピコアイランドでの せいかつを / マンキツしているみたいね / けっこう たくましいわ」(That's a Toad sailor. He's one of the sailors who came to this island after having gone through the same thing as us. He seems to be making the best of his life on Keelhaul Key. He's pretty tough.)
    水夫D:「ふなのりの キノピオよ / あたしたちと おなじようなに あって / このしまに たどりついた すいふの一人ひとり // ここでの せいかつが ってしまって / すみつづけているみたいね / けっこう らくてんてきなのね」(That's a Toad sailor. He's one of the sailors who came to this island after having gone through the same thing as us. He seems to like his life here so much that he has decided to stay. He seems to be quite easy-going.)
  9. ^ This quote does not occur in normal gameplay, in which Mario gets the Train Ticket before arriving at Poshley Heights and it remains permanently in his inventory.
