This page or section needs more audio.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough audio. Please fix this.
Specifically: Please replace the YouTube video with actual ripped samples from the game.

Watch on YouTubeThe Japanese and American versions of the game each feature 3 different voice samples, which vary in clarity. The English version features 3 samples: "HELP" for when the king is captured, "THANK YOU" for when he is rescued, and "BYE BYE" when he is carried away. The Japanese version features the same lines but spoken in a heavy Japanese accent, pronounced as "herupu", "sankyū", and "baibai" respectively.
