* "''How are you, Mario? Hey, have you talked with the Cheep Cheep over there yet? She's famous around here for being a great baby-sitter. Her name is Sushie. She watches over the kids. What would we do without her? Sometimes the kids complain about her, but kids are kids. By the way, an archaeologist named Kolorado or something went into the jungle alone. He said he was making for Mt. Lavalava, but the path ends halfway there. I wonder how far he got...''"
* "''The kids are all back! I was heartbroken thinking of how scared and lonely they must have been, but as soon as they got back, they just said they were hungry. Pfff! Kids! How typical. I suppose it's natural for children to be energetic, but they need to be safe, too.''"

==Bowser's Castle==
