A red Bob-omb.	"All of us Bob-ombs got locked in here by the Koopa Bros. Nothing we could do about it. The Koopa Bros. used to be cool, but they got conceited because Kammy Koopa likes them. Before, they were just typical young guys from Koopa Village. They were nice enough. I think maybe the desire for adventure corrupted them." "Don't worry about us, Mario! We'll find a way out!"	"That Bob-omb's been jailed. I wonder what he did to the Koopa Bros.? I thought that Bob-ombs and Koopa Bros. worked together in harmony..."
A blue Bob-omb.	"I'm sorry, I simply will not obey tyrants anymore! Those Koopa Bros. can't squash the pride of a Bob-omb! So... I'm using all my energy thinking of a way to break out of here. Hmmmm... The angles...vectors... ooooooog... It's so complicated... My head's going to explode!" "All that thinking, and I never thought of blasting the wall. You're pretty darned smart!"	"That Bob-omb's been jailed. Do the Koopa Bros. have short tempers, you think? If we had a Bob-omb on our side during battle, it would really catch the Koopa Bros. off guard."
A green Bob-omb.	"Those stinking Koopa Bros. worked us way too hard. They were making us work for 25 hours a day! Unreal! Nobody's life should be all work, right? I need free time to make my mark in the world. BOOM!" "Let's get out of here!"	"That Bob-omb's been jailed. I wonder if they get hurt when they blow themselves up? I mean, they blow up all the time, so they must enjoy it. Once they start exploding, they can't stop! It blows my mind!"
A green Bob-omb.	"Oh, how long do we have to be locked up here...? I'm losing hope... And I'm so hungry... So sad...and mad...angry... ...I'm filling with rage! I'm really angry now! I want out! OUT! Right now, you hear me, Koopas!" "I was sad, mad... But now, glad! Freedom! Yahoo!"	"That Bob-omb's been jailed. It really seems to dislike the Koopa Bros. Say, I wonder who'll live here if we manage to boot out the Koopa Bros.?"

Bowser's Castle

As Mario finds his way in Bowser's Castle in Chapter 8, he will encounter characters invited to the party at Peach's Castle and imprisoned after Bowser's takeover of the castle. Mario also encounters a Spiked Goomba opening the Storehouse.

A red Toad imprisoned in the first cell.	"Mario, you've come to save us! I just knew you would! All the Toads in here used to work in Peach's Castle. The princess isn't with us... I think she must be confined somewhere else. Mario, don't worry about us! Saving Princess Peach is the only thing that matters." "Mario! You've gotta save the princess! You've just gotta! She must be waiting for you!"	"This Toad worked in the castle. Even though he's in a fix, he's still worrying about Princess Peach. What a brave soul! Doesn't he know that people are worried about him back home?"
A blue Toad imprisoned in the first cell.	"I still can't believe that all of Peach's Castle was kidnapped during the party. I know it was just a means to catch Princess Peach, but still... Only an evil fiend like Bowser would do something like that. Please make him pay!" "Mario, I'm sorry that I can't be of help to you... But I'll make a wish to the Star Spirits for your safety."	"This Toad's been captured. He looks like he's all right. I wonder where he worked in Peach's Castle?"
A yellow Toad with a spear imprisoned in the first cell.	"This wouldn't have happened if we'd had better defenses. I don't know how I can ever apologize to Princess Peach... Ugh... It doesn't matter. Saving her is all that counts now." "I'd love to join you, but I'd just slow you down... Mario, please take care. Don't worry about us. We'll keep our eyes open for Bowser's minions and find a way out of this place."	"He was a soldier at Princess Peach's Castle. He was captured in the takeover. That must have been a pretty bad scene. He looks like he's recovering."
The Toad Minister, imprisoned in the first cell.	See List of Paper Mario quotes § Toad Minister	"This is the Toad Minister. Uh... Pleasure to meet you! My name is Goombario, sir. I'm Mario's right hand, sir. Just joking. But seriously, one day I'd love to be invited to a castle party. How about it?"
A red Toad making a Toad House out of the slate in the second cell.	"Pssst... Psssst... The Toad House's slogan is... 'Refresh your Body and Soul!' ...This isn't a real Toad House, but you can take a quick nap here if you feel like it. Are you going to take a nap?" "...Really? Mario, you're at full strength. Are you still going to nap?" "Please come back if you get tired again... Take care--if you can. And good luck!" "These are difficult times... Please rest well, though." "Did you sleep well? Then take care--and go! Oops... Shhh... I should be quiet... Otherwise, they'll find us."	"This Toad's been captured. Somehow he's been able to set up a Toad House here. How lucky for us!"
A blue Toad with a spear imprisoned in the second cell.	"Mario, your main goal is to save the princess, isn't it? She must be doing OK, holding on to the belief that you'll come. We soldiers should have broken out to save her by now... But it's taken all our efforts just to protect the prisoners. ...What a shame."	"He's one of the captured Toad Soldiers. These guys are counting on you! Let's not let 'em down!"
A yellow Toad imprisoned in the second cell.	"Mario, you're safe! Oh, I'm so glad. We all got captured before we knew what was happening. A few people at the party were able to get away, but they caught most of us. I wonder where Princess Peach, the Minister, and all the other guests are. I'm really worried about them..."	"This Toad's been captured. It must've been scary to be captured, but he looks like he's all in one piece."
A green Dryite imprisoned in the second cell.	"I come all the way from Dry Dry Desert to Princess Peach's party and look what happens. I've been to some lame parties, but that was ridiculous. I wanna go back to the desert as soon as possible."	"It's a Dryite. He came to the party and was dragged into this mess. He seems to be really cold. He must miss the desert. We have to defeat Bowser as fast as we can and get all these brave folks back home."
A Spiked Goomba running the Storehouse.	"Whuhhh? Who're you, man!? I don't know your face. Maybe you're Mario, huh? Heh heh... Just joking. I'm the guard of this warehouse. I'm really, really bored, man. Hey, you know... If you've got any coins, I'll sell you stuff." "What? You've got nothing? Lame..." "Oh, you're loaded, man! Take a look around. I'll sell anything you see."	"He's one of Bowser's followers. He got bored guarding the storage room and decided to start selling stuff. Wow, his job must have been really, really boring. I can imagine. You've gotta wonder, though... I bet if someone found out that he sold stuff to Mario, he'd get punished big time. Maybe he doesn't know who you are, though..."
A red Toad imprisoned in the third cell.	"This is a makeshift Toad House. The Toad House's slogan is... 'Refresh your Body and Soul!' I know it's not a great house... but plenty of sleep will heal you, no matter where you happen to be sleeping. Will you take a nap?" "...Really? You look fine to me, Mario. Are you sure you want to nap?" "Please come again, OK?" "Please, get some sleep." "Did you sleep well? Then take care--and go! Good luck, Mario! Bowser will be no match for you!"	"This Toad's been captured. He's set up a Toad House. We should be thankful for his sacrifice."
A green Toad with a spear imprisoned in the third cell.	"Mario... Good work finding us. Thanks for coming. I can't believe I was captured so easily... How shameful. I bet Princess Peach is being held under heavy security. Please! Save her." "Good work finding us. I can't believe I was captured so easily... How shameful. I bet Princess Peach is being held under heavy security. Please! Save her."	"He's a soldier from Peach's Castle. He says he's ashamed that he failed. He and the others tried their best, but they were overcome by Bowser's troops. The fiends who follow Bowser must be tough customers..."
A blue Toad imprisoned in the third cell.	"Oh, Mario, thank you for coming. It's so good to see you. All the prisoners got split up so it's just been us four... Are the others all safe? Please don't say we're the only ones you've saved.... I hope this whole horrible mess will be over soon so we can have a reunion with everybody!"	"This Toad's been captured. He spends his days worrying about other people. I guess he doesn't realize how many people are worried about him. We have to get him home to the people who miss him. We must!"
A penguin imprisoned in the third cell.	"If I'd known this was going to happen, I would have gone home with Mayor Penguin! I wish I'd wake up in Shiver City and never have to leave again. Sniffle... Sob... I dream of sweet shaved ice treats every single day."	"It's a penguin from Shiver City. I wonder how he scored an invitation to the party? He must know somebody at the castle or something. Or maybe he was just wandering and got lost... I never get lost."
