E3 Text#

Text that was only used for the game's E3 Demo.

Tattles#

**help_A_access**
Hah! I'm not telling you my secrets at the show! Wait for the final version!

**help_door_access**
Hah! I'm not telling you my secrets at the show! Wait for the final version!

Placeholder tattles for the E3 demo. These don't appear on the Interactive Multi-Game Demo disc version of the game.

Petalburg#

**nok_01_for_E3**
To the Special Stage!

Spoken by the gatekeeper Koopa. You were sent to a Bowser platforming stage afterwards. This also appears in the Interactive Multi-Game Demo disc version of the game, and was obviously created for demo purposes.

Hooktail Castle#

align="top" |E3_stg1_gon_00_kur

So, Hooktail Castle, huh?

Well... It sure is ominous,
that's for sure.

This is a duplicate of a message used in the final version.

align="top" |E3_stg1_gon_00_nok

Oh, man... Hooktail Castle...

The stories were all true...
This place is TERRIFYING...

By the way, Mario, the
bridge is out up ahead.

First, go in this building and
use the jump platform to go
to the second floor.

Stand on the pedastal on the
second floor and press to
become a paper airplane.

A screenshot from the demo

This message is in the final game, but it ends after the second block of text. Full message was used in the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo discs, which presents a possibility that this message was never intended for the real game, and instead was made just so the people playing the demo would know what to do.

General Messages#

Placeholder#

No messages.[English]

メッセージがありません

Language-specific placeholder text that appears whenever a text string cannot be found in memory. There is a copy for each language, though only the Japanese one is in its own language (which translates to maybe "There is no message"). These messages are not located inside the normal text files, which makes sense; the error message wouldn't be able to show up if the text files were corrupt. Instead, the messages are stored in boot.dol.

Font Tests#

**font_test**
ABCDEFGHIJKLM NOPQRSTUVWXYZ

**font_test1**
abcdefghijklm nopqrstuvwxyz

Yep, font tests.

Panel Tattles#

**obj_hlp_yuka_plane**
ヒコーキパネルよこの一で　を　おすとヒコーキモードに　へんしんするわ

''That's a Plane Panel.
Press the Y button on the panel
to transform into Plane Mode.

**obj_hlp_yuka_boat**
ボートパネルよこの一で　を　おすとボートモードに　へんしんするわ

''That's a Boat Panel.
Press the Y button on the panel
to transform into Boat Mode.

The Boat and Plane Panels cannot be tattled, so these messages can't be seen.

Save File Corruption#

**msg_mcard_savefile_delete**
スロットＡのメモリーカードのセーブデータはこわれていますデータを　けしても　いいですか？

The save file in Memory Card Slot A
has been corrupted. OK to erase the data?

**msg_mcard_savefile_delete_finish**
データを　けしました

The data was deleted.

A message for a corrupted save file. The final game doesn't allow an individually corrupted file to be deleted. The only option is to reformat the card.

Unused Battle Events#

No Gravity#

**btl_msg_cant_move_zero_gravity**
You can barely move!

An event that would most likely occur on the Moon.

Puni Gathering#

**btl_msg_audience_puni_meeting**
Many Punies gathered!

Would fill the audience with Punies, obviously. Possibly meant for the Chapter 2 boss.

Shy Guy Prank#

**btl_msg_escape_wall_close1**
ヘイホーが　いたずらをした

The Shy Guy pulled a prank!

Unused action for the Shy Guy audience member, this would prevent the player from running away.

Rogueport#

Grifty#

align="top" |johoyaperfect_08

わたしがおしえられることは
通り話したとおもうよ

I think I told you everything I could.

ほかにもいろいろとじょうほうは
あったんだけどいまはわすれちゃった

There was something else too, but I forget what.

またなにかおもいだしておくから
こんどきてくれよ

I might remember something later, so please come again.

An odd message from Grifty. Since Grifty always has stories to tell, and he'll retell them to you, this message never has an opportunity to pop up.

Luigi#

**gor_luigi1_00**
やあ　にいさんルイージへん１だよ

Hey Big Bro! This is Luigi Story 1.

**gor_luigi2_00**
やあ　にいさんルイージへん２だよ

Hey Big Bro! This is Luigi Story 2.

**gor_luigi3_00**
やあ　にいさんルイージへん３だよ

Hey Big Bro! This is Luigi Story 3.

**gor_luigi4_00**
やあ　にいさんルイージへん４だよ

Hey Big Bro! This is Luigi Story 4.

**gor_luigi5_00**
やあ　にいさんルイージへん５だよ

Hey Big Bro! This is Luigi Story 5.

**gor_luigi6_00**
やあ　にいさんルイージへん６だよ

Hey Big Bro! This is Luigi Story 6.

**gor_luigi7_00**
やあ　にいさんルイージへん７だよ

Hey Big Bro! This is Luigi Story 7.

Short menu messages that would appear when selecting an option from the Luigi's Stories menu. In the end, these weren't really needed.

Wonky#

**johoyaketi_03**
エラーメッセージ

Error Message

Self-explanatory. Luckily, this never pops up.

Glitzville#

Fighter Filler Text#

**stg3_tou_118_60_02**
We got ourselves a winner! Fighter 21!

**stg3_tou_118_60_03**
We got ourselves a winner! Fighter 22!

Filler text for two fighters that never made it into the game.

The Major Leagues#

**stg3_tou_294_01_kur**
Uh, yeah... What, no hellos? These guys are totally freezing us out, Mario.

**stg3_tou_294_03_kur**
What? What's wrong, Mario? WHAAAAT? Are you saying the champ's belt...

**stg3_tou_294_05_kur**
You're totally right, Mario! This Crystal Star...is a fake

**stg3_tou_294_07_kur**
Sheesh, sorry, Mr. Birdie. I didn't mean to say your belt was fake. Take it easy.

**stg3_tou_294_09_kur**
I think I tweaked him out a little bit.

**stg3_tou_294_10_kur**
Anyway, we have a problem now. The map definitely pointed to Glitzville...

If that thing on the champ's
belt ISN'T the Crystal Star,
then...

Where the heck is the REAL
one, huh?

**stg3_tou_294_11_kur**
Mario! Your Mailbox SP just went off! Who'd you get mail from?

**stg3_tou_294_13_kur**
What? Who's this X guy? You think he really knows about the Crystal Star?

Whoever he is, why would he
want to give us information?
I don't trust this guy...

**stg3_tou_294_01_nok**
Ummm... Judging by the dead silence, I'd say these guys don't like us much.

**stg3_tou_294_03_nok**
Ummm... What's up, Mario? What? Are you serious? The champ's belt?

**stg3_tou_294_05_nok**
Mario! You were right! This Crystal Star...is a fake

**stg3_tou_294_07_nok**
Ummmm... Gee, sorry, man... I didn't mean to insult your fancy belt, there...

**stg3_tou_294_09_nok**
Ooooops. I made him mad.

**stg3_tou_294_10_nok**
Well, forget him. We have bigger fish to fry. The map pointed to Glitzville...

But if the gem on that guy's
belt isn't the true Crystal
Star, then...

Where's the real one?

**stg3_tou_294_11_nok**
Umm... Mario? You hear that? I think you just got an e-mail. From who, though?

**stg3_tou_294_13_nok**
Um... Who's this X character? He talks like he knows all about the Crystal Star...

Why would someone want to
help us with this, anyway?
Seems kind of fishy...

**stg3_tou_294_01_win**
Oh, dear... These fellows don't seem quite as friendly as the minor-leaguers...

**stg3_tou_294_03_win**
Mario, darling, what is it? Come again? The champ's belt, you say?

**stg3_tou_294_05_win**
My stars, it's completely true! This Crystal Star...is a fake

**stg3_tou_294_07_win**
Oh, I do apologize, sir. I didn't mean to embarrass you in front of your belt.

**stg3_tou_294_09_win**
Oh dear, I do believe I made that chicken angry.

**stg3_tou_294_10_win**
In any case, we've larger issues to deal with. The map most assuredly pointed here...

If the ornament on that
fellow's belt isn't the real
Crystal Star, then...

Where in the world could the
real one be?

**stg3_tou_294_11_win**
Mario, darling! Did I just hear your Mailbox SP go off? Who would be e-mailing you?

**stg3_tou_294_13_win**
My! Who is this X fellow? He speaks as if he's an expert on the Crystal Star...

What would motivate him to
help us in our quest, though?
This seems suspicious...

All four possible partners have dialogue when first entering the major league locker room. Because Yoshi is required to beat the Iron Clefts, and partners can't be changed before this cutscene, only his dialogue is used.

Twilight Town#

Shopkeeper#

align="top" |E3_stg1_gon_00_nok

あれれ
ワシは　なにを　していたんだ・・・

Huh? Now what was I doing..."

店で　売るための　やくそうを　とりに
この森に　きたところだったが・・・

I came to the forest to gather herbs to sell at the store.

A message that would have been spoken by the Twilight Town shopkeeper after the pig curse was broken. In the final game, he's already back at the shop by the time you beat Doopliss.

(Source: GlitterBerri (Translation))

Leaving Town#

**stg4_usu_156_kur**
All right, Mario! Let's get back to Rogueport, OK?

**stg4_usu_156_nok**
Well, Mario... Let's head back to Rogueport, huh?

**stg4_usu_156_win**
Are you quite ready, Mario? Let's get back to Rogueport.

**stg4_usu_156_yos**
Okeydokey, Gonzales! Let's kick it back to Rogueport!

Text when leaving Twilight Town after Chapter 4. Since all of Mario's other partners were turned against him at this point, the player can't change partners, so only Vivian's dialogue is used.

Keelhaul Key#

Shores#

**koburon_12**
フニャ～まわさないでよ～

Whew, don't spin me~

This is an unused message for hitting poor Whacka.

**stg5_muj_117_02**
ひぃぃ～！どうなってんの　この島は～！オバケのあとは　ホンモノの海賊～！？

Eeeeek!
What is up with this island?!
That ghost pirate is the real thing!?

**stg5_muj_117_03**
メガネの　ヤロウ～！おれたちを　ダマしやがって！うぎゃぁ～！

That spectacled scoundrel!
He tricked us all!
Gaaah!

Messages that would have popped up from the people on the shore during the battle between Cortez and Lord Crump.

Jungle#

align="top" |stg5_muj_28_01

なにを　グズグズしている！

What are you waiting for?!

なコイツらは　ワシに　まかせろ！
ワシに　かまわず　さっさと　行け！！

Leave these fellows to me!
Don't worry about me, hurry up and leave

''

An extended bit of dialogue from Bobbery while he's being attacked by ghosts.

Excess Express#

Train Rooms#

stg6_rsh_192

本当にありがとうございました

Thank you very much.

これがなくなっていたら
わたしの家族をろとうに
まよわせるところでした

If this vanished, my family would be left out in the cold.

stg6_rsh_193

**stg6_rsh_193**
ふふふ・・・わがはいにかかればズバッとこんなものです！！

Hehehe...If you get near me,
I'll slice you like this

''

Messages from the businessman and possibly Heff T. These would have appeared after the Nitro Honey Syrup / Galley Pot mysteries were solved.

**stg4_usu_156_yos**
ベッドで休みますか？

Sleep in the bed?
The prompt for resting in bed appears for Day 3. It's not possible to rest at this point, so this was never used or translated.

Freight Car#

stg6_rsh_275

しょくりょうが入っているようだ

Looks like there's food inside.

しょくどう車で出される
りょうりに使われるのだろうか

Maybe it's used for the meals in the dining car.

stg6_rsh_276

ケースの中にビンがおさまっている

This crate contains bottles.

しょくどう車で出される
のみものだろうか

Maybe they're drinks used for the dining car.

stg6_rsh_277

ケースの中にビンがおさまっている

This crate contains bottles.

！

!

ビンとビンのスキマに
なにかおちている

Something's fallen between the bottles.

stg6_rsh_280

ワゴンの中はカラッポだ

The wagon is empty.

stg6_rsh_281

マリオがじゅうぶん
入れそうなぐらいとても大きな箱だ

It's an enormous box that looks big enough
to fit Mario inside.

箱の中になにが入っているのか
外からはサッパリわからない

From the outside, it's impossible to tell
if there's anything in it.

There's a lot of descriptive text in the freight car that is never used. It seems the player would have been able to look through the crates in the room, likely while in search of Ghost T.'s diary. The third set of messages is likely for when the player finds the diary, as a book would be able to fit between drink bottles. It could also apply to the missing Gold Ring or Shell Earrings, but none of the passengers' missing items are found in the freight car.

Riverside Station#

Outside Station#

align="top" |トロン (Toron / Zip Toad)

トロンの　ニセモノよ

That's the Zip Toad impersonator.

やっぱり　ニセモノだったのね　この人
だって　ホンモノの　トロンだったら
あんなに　えらそうに　しないはずだもの

''Just as I thought. It's an IMPOSTER.
The REAL Zip Toad wouldn't
act so high-and-mighty.

An unused tattle for the fake Zip Toad / Doopliss, who runs away immediately after getting to Riverside Station.

(Source: GlitterBerri (Translation))

align="top" |stg6_hom_01

トホホホ・・・

Boohoohoo...

しかし　マジョリンは　つぎなる
手を　うっていた　みたいだぜ

But it looks like Beldam's
been making the next move.

アンタも　あきらめた方が
いいんじゃないのか？

Shouldn't you give up too?

しかし・・・
オレは　マジョリンに　ハナから
あてに　されてなったのか・・・

But...it seems I haven't been counting on Beldam
since the beginning.

トホホホ・・・

Boohoohoo...

Completely unknown who would have spoke this dialogue. The only likely candidate is Doopliss, since he knows who Beldam is.

(Source: GlitterBerri (Translation))

Inside Station#

align="top" |stg6_eki_00

このエレベーターを　使ったら
きりかえスイッチが　ある部屋まで
まっすぐ　行けるんですけど・・・

If you use this elevator, you'll be taken
straight to the switch room, but...

エレベーターを　動かすキーが
じむ室に　あるのです・・・

I put the key that moves the elevator
in the office...

わるいヤツらに　せんりょうされて
手も　あしも　出ないのです・・・

Bad guys have taken over.
I don't stand a chance...

An additional note from the people who once occupied the station. This might have been removed because it gives away the location of the key.

を　おしながらを　グルグル　回して
を　はなすと　ウルトラジャンプ！

Hold down the A button and rotate the control stick.
Then, release A to do the Ultra Jump!

A simplied version of the Ultra Boots tutorial. Possibly a temporary message.

Poshley Sanctum#

**stg6_pik_26**
いまは　もう　だいざの上にガーネットスターは　ない

The Garnet Star is no longer on the pedestal.
This should appear when examining the pedestal where the Garnet Star was placed. A similar message pops up when examining the pedestal of the fake Star.

X-Naut Base#

**stg7_aji_34**
シンニュウシャ　ハッケン！

INTRUDERS DETECTED!

**stg7_aji_35**
タダチニ　ハイジョスル！！

LEAVE IMMEDIATELY

''

This appears in the main X-naut control room. The use of Katakana here is meant to convey a robotic voice.

Palace of Shadow#

Throne Room#

**stg8_las_106_kur**
あかないわ　マリオ！

It won't open, Mario!

**stg8_las_106_nok**
マリオさん　あきません！

Mario, it's not opening!

**stg8_las_106_win**
マリオちゃん　あかないわン！

Mario, dear, it isn't opening!

**stg8_las_106_yos**
ダメだ　あかないぜ！

No good--it ain't opening!

Vivian

Bobbery

Ms. Mowz

**stg8_las_106_viv**
あかないわ　マリオ！

It won't open, Mario!

**stg8_las_106_bom**
マリオ　あかないぞ！

Mario, it won't open!

**stg8_las_106_chu**
ひらきませんわ　マリオ！

It won't come open, Mario!

An odd message for all partners. There's nothing to open in the throne room in the final version, unless they're talking about the door out.

Pit of 100 Trials#

**msg_jon_trick_1**
The devices on this level are now active. You can no longer change allies during battle!

**msg_jon_trick_2**
The device on this level is now active. You can no longer use your hammer in battle!

**msg_jon_trick_3**
The device on this level is now active. You can no longer use your jump in battle!

**msg_jon_trick_4**
The device on this level is now active. You now receive double coins after battle!

Messages for four different traps/devices that would have made the Pit of 100 Trials harder to complete. Less monotonous, though.

**irai_30_009**
ラクガキは　ねんいりに　かかれていてきえない！！

The graffiti is carefully written. It won't erase!!
This is a shorter version of a message seen when examining the graffiti on floor 50 of the pit.

(Source: GlitterBerri (Translation))

Post-Game Partner Text#

There are lines in the game hinting that after you beat the Shadow Queen and return to Rogueport, you'd have to gather up all of your partners again. This feature was changed to have all of your partners come back immediately.

Three of these exchanges were translated, one is in Japanese, untranslated, and three of them are temporary messages.

Translated#

**nok_01_aed_nok_01**
Mario! I'm so glad I got to see you again!

**nok_01_aed_nok_02**
So, you're off on another adventure, eh? Yes, of course I'll go with you!

マリオ! またあなたにあえるなんてユメみたいだわ

Mario! I've been dreaming of meeting you again~

**usu_00_aed_viv_02**

Of course I'll go with you! If it's you, I'll go anywhere, even against my better judgment.

**usu_00_aed_viv_03**
ビビアンがなかまになった！

Vivian has joined your party!

**usu_00_aed_viv_04**
