A Boo in Boo's Mansion from Paper Mario
A Boo who guards a treasure chest containing the Weight in the west room on the second floor. Disappears after Mario obtains the Weight.

  • "Oh yeah, such rhythm! What a groove! Par-tay!"
  • "Oh Boo! Is that...the end? I was just starting to bust out my best dance moves."
  • "Oh! Noooo... Lady Bow gave me one job...to guard that treasure chest. She is gonna punish me so bad if she finds out about this! Oh...well... I may still be OK. Heh heh heh heh... It's not like you can get anywhere without knowing how to use that Weight."
  • "This Boo is guarding a treasure chest. Bow told him to, I guess. She must be pretty scary to command such obedience! Say, don't you think that Boos have the funniest expressions?"

  • "There are hidden panels on the ground all over Mushroom World, so keep an eye out for them."
  • "This Boo appeared as soon as you took those Boots. He looks to me like he might have some useful information. It can't hurt to have a listen, Mario. Why don't you lend him an ear?"

  • "You beat Tubba Blubba! I had nightmares about him. But wasn't he invincible? How'd you manage to beat him?"
  • "Mario, please take care of Lady Bow! She brings the darkness to our lives!"

Goombario's Tattle
A red Toad in Paper Mario
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 from Paper Mario
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 guard from Paper Mario
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."
A red Toad in Paper Mario
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 guard from Paper Mario
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!"
Yellow Toad from Paper Mario
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 from Paper Mario
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."
Sprite of a Spiked Goomba, from Paper Mario.
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 in Paper Mario
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!"

A green Toad guard from Paper Mario
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 from Paper Mario
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!"
Paper Bumpty.png
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."

Dry Dry Desert[edit]

Dry Dry Desert is where Kolorado's team and Nomadimouse can be found. Kolorado's team (and the camp) will be absent after Mario visits Fice T. near the beginning of Chapter 3.

Goombario's Tattle
Sprite of one of Kolorado's assistants, from Paper Mario.
A Koopa Troopa assisting Kolorado.
  • "To get to the desert town, Dry Dry Outpost, just go due east on this path. I'd be careful not to stray from the path if I were you. You may find some trouble, and you'll definitely get lost. Even the path isn't that safe, so watch out for enemies."
  • "Researching these ruins is incredibly difficult. Everyone on the dig is completely exhausted. Sometimes I wonder whether Dry Dry Ruins is really hidden there or just a local myth."
  • "We found a clue! Yeah! I'm motivated again! We're gonna find those ruins!"*
  • "This is a Koopa Troopa from the excavation team. The team is assisting Kolorado. People say that excavations are about as boring as you can imagine until you find something. I bet that's true."
Sprite of one of Kolorado's assistants, from Paper Mario.
A Koopa Troopa assisting Kolorado.
  • "We're assisting Prof. Kolorado. Right now we're waiting on the guy who hiked over to Dry Dry Outpost to try to bring back some information. Did you know the people of Dry Dry Outpost are descendants of the makers of Dry Dry Ruins? What a cool thought, huh? People have been living here, watching over the ruins for many generations."
  • "Professor Kolorado told me to look everywhere for clues about Dry Dry Ruins, but I'm a little nervous 'cause I haven't found anything yet."
  • "Wow, the Professor's really excited now that he found a clue to Dry Dry Ruins. He's starting a full exploration immediately! Finally, our research is starting to move forward! Maybe it'll be less boring..."*
  • "This is a Koopa Troopa from the excavation team. The team is assisting Kolorado. That looks like hard work. I wouldn't want to do it. Doing chores in this heat? Ugh!"
* After Kolorado receives the Artifact from Mario.

Character Quotes Goombario from Paper Mario.
Goombario's Tattle
Sprite of a Nomadimouse from Paper Mario
A Nomadimouse near the entrance of Dry Dry Desert in the west scene.
  • "Welcome, travelers! You must have had a long, hot journey getting here. Welcome to Dry Dry Outpost. Moustafa is the leader of this entire town, so... You'd better keep it in mind. ...Although you probably won't ever see him..."
  • "There's no question that Mr. Moustafa is the boss of Dry Dry Outpost, but... it's incredibly rare for him to actually be seen in public. His personality is a mystery. He's surrounded by secrets. Even so, as long as you behave yourself he won't mess with you. He's not a tyrant or anything. Please enjoy yourself during your stay at Dry Dry Outpost."
  • "Welcome! You must have had a grueling trip getting here. Please enjoy Dry Dry Outpost."
  • "He's a Nomadimouse who lives in this town. He seems to pay special attention to strangers, like us. He belongs to some kind of shady organization. The organization rules Dry Dry Outpost. So mysterious and dangerous... I can feel my skin crawling! Mario, isn't this exciting?"
A green Dryite from Paper Mario
A green Dryite in the west scene.
  • "Master Mr. Moustafa is the main man, yeah!♪ Master Mr. Moustafa is the main man, ooh!♪ Where's the man? No one knows!♪ He stays hidden from his foes♪"
  • "Dry Dry Desert is a desert, very dry♪ Winds of change blow sand in your eyes♪ ...Oh yeeeeah. That's right! Don't I rock?"
  • "I'm out of new songs. I can't sing a song some composer wrote, either. I have to rock in my own style! I made a wish to the Stars that I'd be inspired to write a ripping tune but so far, zilch. Nothing."
  • "That's a Dryite. The wind out here in the desert is full of stinging sand, so he protects himself by wrapping his face in a cloth. Since their faces are covered, it's tough to tell them apart. I'm pretty sure they're all adults, though."
Orange-turban Dryite
An orange Dryite in the west scene.
  • "Are you aware that there's a Dojo in Toad Town? There is! A while ago I took one of the Dojo challenges and did pretty well, I must say. I got a Second-Degree Card. You look pretty strong, so... Huh? You haven't earned any Cards?"
  • "Sayyyyy... Is that... ...a First-Degree Card? Hee hee! It just so happens, that I have in my possession a Second-Degree Card! Know what that means? I'm stronger than Mario! Yeah!"
  • "Sayyyyy... Is that... ...a Second-Degree Card? Hey, I have a Second-Degree Card, too! Oh, awesome! I can't believe that I'm as strong as you are, Mario!"
  • "Sayyyyy... Is that... ...a Third-Degree Card? Whooa! That's great! Seriously, that's great, Mario. You must be a powerhouse!"
  • "Sayyyyy... Is that... ...a Fourth-Degree Card? Whooa! I wouldn't want to tangle with you, Mario!"
  • "Sayyyyy... Is that... ...a Diploma...!? Whoa! WHOOOAAA! You defeated The Master!! That's unbelievable, Mario! Great! Seriously great! I mean, really great!!"
  • "He's a Dryite. I've seen him in Toad Town. He earned himself a Degree at the Toad Town Dojo."
Orange-turban Dryite
An orange Dryite in the west scene.
  • "Have you seen the old fortune-teller in Toad Town? He's always right, so his fortune-telling is famous. If you hit trouble in the middle of your adventure, it'd be a good idea to see him."
  • "This Dryite has been seen in Toad Town. Why does he look like he's worried about something? Whenever I worried, my Goompa always told me... 'When you're feeling lost, ask Merlon to show the way.' Merlon's fortune-telling is surprisingly accurate."
A green Dryite from Paper Mario
A green Dryite near the red palm tree in the west scene.
  • "Are you from Toad Town? Wow, that's a ways away! Dry Dry Ruins? ...Nope, never heard of it. It sounds like a local fairy tale or something." [Accompanying Dryite: "..."] "Hey, if you're serious about looking for Dry Dry whatever, you should go and ask the information trader. Supposedly this information trader lives in town and swaps information for items. Or something along those lines. ...That's what my friend says. My friend? This guy? Nah, he's way too shy to be an information trader."
  • "My friend is the shyest guy. He can't talk to strangers at all. He just clams up. That's why I usually talk for him, you see." [Accompanying Dryite: "..."] "What's that, buddy? You want to see the princess? Whuh-ho! That's a toughie! For that wish to be granted, I think you'd better wish to the Stars, buddy. Hey, you travelers! Am I right or am I right?"
  • "My quiet friend here just adores Princess Peach. He's making a wish to the Stars to meet her, but I'm thinking he needs to deal with some issues before that can happen. As he is now, if he meets the princess, he won't be able to speak a word!" [Accompanying Dryite: "☆○×☆×○!!!!"] "See... Look at this guy... He's only imagining seeing her and he's completely wigging out!"
  • "Hey, someone said you're on a quest to save Princess Peach! I never even realized that you were Mario! Imagine that!" [Accompanying Dryite: "Mario... Ahem... Good luck. Please save Princess Peach."] ".......! Buddy! You spoke out loud! It's a miracle! Whoopee!"
  • (If Mario walks around the red palm tree) "Excuse me... Can I talk to you for a sec? What exactly are you doing walking around that tree? You're making me dizzy! What? You're joking. You believe some crazy dream? Well, OK... I guess... I mean, I got a message in a dream a long time ago but it didn't mean anything. It said, 'There's a house with a whirling roof in a large town near a castle. If you Spin Jump three times inside the house, something good should happen to you...' Ha ha ha... A house with a whirling roof! As if that existed! Ha! I don't take dreams seriously."
  • "I remember the message that came to me in a dream: 'There's a house with a whirling roof in a large town near a castle. If you Spin Jump three times inside the house, something good should happen to you...' A house with a whirling roof! Like that existed! Ha! Like I always say, you should never believe what you dream."
  • "Dryites look like the heat doesn't even bother them. I wonder why? I'm boiling! And they're all wrapped up in clothes! What gives? Maybe it's because their clothes are wrapped loosely. I could use some threads like that."
A green Dryite from Paper Mario
A green Dryite accompanying the previous Dryite. If Mario attempts to talk to him, he will move away from Mario.

  • "This Dryite is really quiet. He's shy, I guess. But... I don't see any reason for him to be so timid."
A blue Dryite from Paper Mario
A blue Dryite in the westernmost house of the west scene.
  • "Hey! Guess what! Hey! Somewhere in the desert, there's a stone cactus. If you move 3 south and 2 west from there, you'll find something special hidden. I'm not sure how to find it exactly, however. You should go there, huh? Yeah! Hey! Wanna hear something else? I know lots of other stuff! Useful stuff! Hey!"
  • "Hey! Did you know? The desert is dangerous! If you get caught in a desert whirlwind, it'll blow you away and you'll get lost. Bandits are out there, too! They appear all of a sudden running really fast, and they steal people's coins! There are many tales. You'd better pay attention to them, too, because the desert is an unforgiving place. Hey! Wanna hear more?"
  • "Hey! Guess what? Here's something not a whole lot of people know. If you go south just after you leave town, you'll find an oasis. It's amazing... A paradise! I go there sometimes. If you want to take a rest, it's the best place to go. Wanna hear something else? You'll be sorry if you don't! I know lots of stuff!"
  • "Hey! Know what I heard? There are these three trees growing in a triangle somewhere in the desert. The rumor is that if you jump in the center of the triangle, you'll find something good. Only... I don't know where the three trees are... I mean, the desert is huge! I can't know everything... Hey! You wanna hear something else or what? I'm loaded with tons and tons of useful information!"
  • "These Dryites look like they have big heads because they're wrapped in cloth. It's hard to tell them apart since we can see only their eyes."
A pink-spotted female Toad in Paper Mario A pink-spotted female Toad in Paper Mario A pink-spotted female Toad in Paper Mario
Three pink-spotted Toad girls in the west scene. Appears after Chapter 2.
  • "This is sure different from our jobs at the castle! We came all the way here to look for mystery and excitement and adventure! But it's too hot. I feel like I'm drying up."
  • "Quiet, girl! The heat of the desert isn't anything compared to our passion for adventure! As long as we stick together, we can take anything! We can go from one end of the Mushroom Kingdom to the other!"
  • "I've bought many rare goods here at Dry Dry Outpost. And later we're totally stopping at the legendary Dry Dry Ruins. We're gonna be filled with stories when we get back home!"
  • "This Toad is one of the castle maids. Seeing as the castle has up and disappeared, I guess they've decided to take a holiday. Traveling does have a way of refreshing the body and mind."
  • "This Toad is one of the castle maids. They're all traveling together. They're quite good friends. I've never seen 'em apart!"
  • "This Toad is one of the castle maids. She's always been very curious. I wonder what kind of trip they're taking. It's definitely not going to be as difficult as our journey, but I'm kind of curious."
A green Dryite from Paper Mario
A green Dryite in the east scene.
  • "A brother and sister who are very close live atop Shooting Star Summit. The brother, Merlow, collects Star Pieces and will trade Badges for them. The sister, Merluvee, is a fortune-teller who will tell you where to find Badges."
  • "This Dryite has been to Shooting Star Summit. I bet he was pretty impressed. And cold."
Sprite of a Nomadimouse from Paper Mario
A Nomadimouse in the east scene.
  • "Long ago, in this very land, there was a kingdom called Dry Dry Kingdom. King Mousta ruled over it. One dark day, he was betrayed by his subjects. In the uprising that followed, Dry Dry Kingdom was ruined. King Mousta escaped and vowed vengeance on his enemies. He gathered those faithful to him and defeated his betrayers. King Mousta's supporters were the original robbers who built Dry Dry Outpost."
  • "One of the descendants of King Mousta still lives here in Dry Dry Outpost. No one knows who he is, but... You can be sure that everyone secretly wishes to be that one special person... It would be pretty cool to be related to the great robbers of yesteryear."
  • "Those rebels who rose up against King Mousta... Do you know what they wanted? They wanted to live without rules in the desert and use all the treasures of Dry Dry Kingdom as their own. The great King Mousta had no patience for such selfishness. Because he had such high ideals, King Mousta is the hero of this outpost to this day."
  • "He's a Nomadimouse who likes telling old tales. He knows much of the history of this town. The legend surrounding this town is very mysterious. I wish my hometown had such a cool legend! Then I could act mysterious."
A blue Dryite from Paper Mario
Mr. E, a blue Dryite in the east scene.
  • "I heard that an archaeologist named Kolorado is around here looking for Dry Dry Ruins. You know what? Even if he digs up the entire desert, he won't find them."
  • "A word to the wise: The owner of the local shop is a friend of Moustafa."
  • "I love this town. I don't care that the desert's so harsh. There's no place like home. I was born in Dry Dry Outpost, and this is where I'll stay!"
  • "I haven't seen rain in ages. I know it's a desert, but it should rain once in a while. We made a wish to the Stars for a little moisture, but I guess it didn't help. If this weather continues, it'll get...dry...around here."
  • "Gee, thanks! Oh, looks like an order from Koopa Village. My job is delivering things from Dry Dry Outpost. This guy's a great customer. He's always ordering stuff. Hey, by the way. Would you do me a favor and deliver this letter the next time you're in Toad Town? It's to Miss T. She lives there. She's one of three amazingly beautiful sisters. She's normally chatting with her sisters in front of the Dojo. Thanks a lot!"
  • "That's a Dryite. It's hard to tell whether he's old or young because of that cloth that's wrapped around his face. What do you think? Young or old? I'm betting young..."
A green Dryite from Paper Mario
A green Dryite in the east scene.
  • "Dry Dry Outpost was built by robbers long ago, you know. The boss of the robbers was the descendant of a king. The king hid the entrance to the ruins of his kingdom, and the robber boss guarded them. Legend has it that even now, the descendant of that boss hides in this town and keeps the ruins safe from prying eyes."
  • "People are saying that the ruins that were hidden long ago have appeared in Dry Dry Desert. Amazing. That means that the legend about the boss of the robbers in the desert was... ...actually true."
  • "I took the train to Toad Town. I can't tell you how many things were different there from here in the desert. The people were so different and...just plain weird."
  • "That's a Dryite. This guy looks to be pretty easygoing. Who can be easygoing in this heat? I'm cooking!"
A red Toad in Paper Mario
A Toad running the Toad House in the east scene.
  • "The Toad House slogan is, 'Refresh your Body and Soul!' Would you like to take a nap?"
  • "...Uh, are you sure? You look fine to me. Would you like to take a nap anyway?"
  • "Please come again!"
  • "Pleasant dreams!"
  • "Did you sleep well? Good luck out there!"
  • "He's a Toad. He was sent here from Princess Peach's Castle. I tell you, there's nothing like a quick, refreshing nap! Plus, it's free!"
Sprite of a Nomadimouse from Paper Mario
A Nomadimouse near Merlee in the back of the east scene.
  • "Keep this quiet... If this woman casts a spell on you, it might help you during battle. For instance, your attack power might get stronger or you might get more coins for winning. Other, stranger, things may happen, as well. But do not rely on this spell. By no means will it take effect in every battle. The spell can be beneficial, but it's also unpredictable."
  • "He's a Nomadimouse who never strays from the back street in Dry Dry Outpost. He loves to stay near the lovely wizard. Ah, a rival for her affections! Just joking. He's obviously fond of Merlee. Maybe he just doesn't have anywhere better to go. He's always just sitting here. There's no reason to move... His beloved is here."
Sprite of one of Kolorado's assistants, from Paper Mario.
A Koopa Troopa assistant of Kolorado in the east scene. Absent after Mario visits Fice T. at the beginning of Chapter 3.
  • "Hey, hello. I'm assisting an archaeologist, Professor Kolorado. I came to Dry Dry Desert to excavate Dry Dry Ruins, but... It's hot as blazes every day and I'm constantly thirsty... I want to quit and go home."
  • "I was sent here because we heard that there's an important clue about the ruins, but... I can't find the information trader anywhere. It's vital that I find him so I can get the clue. I don't want to think about how mad the professor will be if I go back with nothing. What am I going to do?"
  • "Hey, hello, Mario. At least I've found some news. Supposedly, this guy Moustafa knows the key to Dry Dry Ruins. And then there's this other guy named Sheek who knows where Moustafa is, but... That Sheek guy is really stingy and won't tell me anything. Why do people in this town like mysteries and secrets so much?"
  • "Somebody just said that the ruins rose from the desert! Can it be true?"
  • "This is a Koopa Troopa from the excavation team. The team is assisting Kolorado. That looks like hard work. Doing chores in this heat? Ugh!"

  • "I heard that some of the trees in Flower Fields drop berries if you hit them hard enough."
  • "Have you met Mr. Sun before? I heard that Mr. Sun lives on top of the Sun Tower."

  • "Rosie and Lily are always arguing about which one of them is more beautiful. They're both beautiful! Why compare?! Every flower is beautiful."
  • "It's a Bub-ulb. It's one of many talking flowers in Flower Fields. Boy, it seems like as soon as creatures learn to communicate, they learn to gossip."

  • "Petunia? The Seed Maniac, Petunia? The one who collects seeds like a crazy flower? I know her. She's growing due east from here."
  • "There are so many beautiful flowers in Flower Fields. It would be a mistake to judge them by their beauty, though. Not all of them are gentle flowers, that's for sure."
  • "Lily is very beautiful, but I've heard that she's more than a little bit strange. They say she always floats in the water, dreaming of things that could never happen."
  • "Mr. Sun can't rise because so many clouds are in the way. He used to be burning hot, but now he's cooled way down. I've never heard of a sun that wasn't burning hot before."
  • "Oh, the sun's back! He's burning hot again! Way to go, Mr. Sun! Everything's back to normal! Just gimme my soil, water, and sun and I'll be happy. I don't need anything else."
  • "I've heard rumors about many flowers, but I've never heard any rumors about me. What do they think of me? Are they talking about me? I wonder how it would feel to be the center of attention all the time..."
  • "You know, a lot of the flowers in Flower Fields will answer you if you talk to 'em. They're probably our best source of news around here."
The green Bub-ulb in Paper Mario
A green Bub-ulb in the main area.
  • "I'm sick of this weather. Flower Fields is always cloudy. It never used to be like this. That Huff N. Puff's the cause! Plants like us can't live long without the light of the sun. Everybody around here is losing hope and starting to wither..."
  • "Every plant needs good soil in order to grow big and healthy. The more nutritious the soil is, the bigger plants can grow. And then, plants that grow really big give nutrition back! They drop their leaves, and the leaves become fertilizer. We grew with the nutrition of Wise Wisterwood's fallen leaves. So Wise Wisterwood is kind of like our father, huh?"
  • "Have you seen the Crystal Tree near Posie's place yet? I've heard that tree bears the most wonderful berries... If you believe what folks say, those berries are the most beautiful things in the world."
  • "Without beautiful sunlight, we plants are doomed. We can't live in Flower Fields if it's always cloudy. I never thought I'd start withering at such a young age! I wish I were blanketed in warm, rejuvenating sunlight like I used to be..."
  • "Oh, the land's full of sunlight! I wish I could kiss this whole world right now! As long as I have sunlight like this on me, I could live here for the rest of my life."
  • "Hello there! How are you? Are you enjoying the sunshine as much as I am?"
  • "A lot of flowers live here, huh? They're so...so very... uh...beautiful, I guess."
The yellow Bub-ulb from Paper Mario
A yellow Bub-ulb in the main area.
  • "The sun can't come up because a thick cloud is completely covering the sky. We Bub-ulbs can live just about anywhere if there's sun, but now there's none at all! I'm not saying that having some clouds is bad. Of course not! But there should be some gaps for a little precious sunshine! Sigh... I hate that stupid cloud."
  • "Without sunlight, the seeds we have can't sprout, and we can't make any new ones, either. If the sun never rises again, all of Flower Fields will wither up completely. Do you have any ideas?"
  • "Are you looking for water? You might try Lily's spring. But if you want water to plant something, it's hopeless. There's no use planting now. Even if you water them, plants won't grow without the sun."
  • "You mean you're thinking of doing something to that thick cloud so the sun can rise again? You think that'll work? Oh, it would be so nice if the sun rose up again! I hope your plan works..."
  • "Oh, it's the sun! The sun has come out! I knew you could do it! It's all because of you! I can't believe I made it through those sad, cloudy days!"
  • "Mario, are you still on that dangerous adventure? I can't stand that Huff N. Puff. What a mean guy! He loves clouds. And he loves that we hate them! Please, could you beat him? I hope you really stick it to him and save the Star Spirit!"
  • "Now I'm going to grow and grow and produce lots and lots of cute little seeds! You know, Mario, as long as you're around, I think the world's going to be OK."
  • "It's a Bub-ulb. The flowers around here hate cloudy weather. They need the sun's rays! I don't like the rain, either, because I can't play outside."

  • "You don't want to give me anything, is that how it is? Then sorry, but no. You can't go through."
  • "Chomp chomp munch chomp... Aw, yuck!!! Disgusting! That was awful! No way you're going through!"
  • "Munch munch munch... Ummm... I really don't like this type of berry at all. You'd better get me a better flavor, or you can't go through."*
  • "Munch chomp smack... Ooh, delicious! This is it! Great color! Full flavor! It's perfect! You're a champ for bringing me such a tasty snack. Of course you can go through!♡"
  • "Go on through!♡ For you, the gate's always open!"
  • "You know, genuinely nice people are really hard to find. I've put many different people to the test since I've been here, and you're the nicest. If you keep doing good deeds, I bet you'll go through many gates as you travel!♡"
  • "It's a red flower that guards a gate. Red is a passionate color. Goombaria knows a lot about the subtle languages of flowers and colors. She talks and talks and talks until I can't take it anymore! As a result, I've learned a lot of what she knows."
The yellow flower that guards the gate on the southeastern section of Flower Fields in Paper Mario.
A yellow flower that guards the gate in the southeastern area.
  • "Good day, Mario! It's great to see you. I'm the guard of this gate. I must tell you, though, I don't let many people through. I have excellent taste in foods, so you must bring me something sufficiently tasty to get by. Well...? Do you have anything?"
  • "Oh, nothing tasty, eh? Well, that's unfortunate... I understand it's hard to meet the standards of such a cultured flower as me. I suppose you weren't up to it. Sadly, it also means you can't pass through here."
  • "Chomp smack chomp... Haaaaack! Pbbbbth! What is this garbage!? This is decidedly substandard! I'm a connoisseur! It's downright ungentlemanly to eat anything but berries while in Flower Fields!"
  • "Munch chomp munch... Ummm, well... It's not bad, I suppose. But it's not enough to satisfy a gourmet such as me. I'm sorry, but I never let people without distinguished taste pass through here. Come back with some culture."
  • "Munch chomp chomp... Bravo!! Magnificent!! A sweet, subtle flavor with a delicate finish! And such marvelous coloring! It reminds me of the warm sunlight I so yearn for. I'm truly taken aback by your cultured taste! Of course you may go!"
  • "Sir, your taste is flawless! You may use this gate as if it were your own front door."
  • "It's always a pleasure to meet people with wonderful taste. And here I was thinking that there were no more cultured people left in the world! Bravo!! Scintillating! Let's hear it for incredible snobbery and fine culture!"
  • "It's a yellow flower that guards a gate. Yellow is a friendly color. Yellow also means 'Caution!' in many cultures, though. Maybe we should be careful..."
The blue flower that guards the gate on the western section of Flower Fields in Paper Mario.
A blue flower that guards the gate in the western area.
  • "Ahhh, I'm so hungry... I'm tired of guarding this stupid old gate... I'm so, so hungry... Hey! You there! I don't suppose you have anything good to eat that you'd like to give me? Listen, if you give me something succulent I'll let you through here, and I won't tell anybody..."
  • "Nothing? Not even a bite? Aw, shoot... Then I can't let you go through. I'm sitting here starving, and you won't even spare a lousy... Ever since the sun disappeared, nothing's gone right for me. I feel so blue..."
  • "Chomp smack munch... Oh, bleah!!! This is totally icky! Listen, I can't eat anything but berries from around here. Yeah, I guess maybe I should have told you that first, huh? Stupid old me. Now I feel even more blue... Please...just leave me alone."
  • "Munch chomp crunch... As far as berries go, it's so-so. But it's missing...something. Nothing tastes good. I've been blue since the sun disappeared. I hate being a blue flower. Nothing good is blue. Yeah, you heard me! Nothing! I bet even Blue Berries taste disgusting because...they're blue!"
  • "A Blue Berry? I'm sure this'll be gross. Munch chomp munch... Oh, how delicious!♪ Such a splendid taste! There ARE good blue things! I'm filled with hope again! Go! Go and never feel blue! I'll never forget you!"
  • "Head through there! I'll never forget you!"
  • "Blue is a nice color, or so I've begun to think lately. Has the sun changed my opinion? Or do I owe it to you, Mario? Oh, yeah! You've got a little blue in your outfit, too! Ha ha ha! You and I match!"
  • "It's a blue flower that guards a gate. Blue... It's the color of the sea and sky. It's supposed to calm you. I also heard that it can ruin your appetite for some reason. Do you think that's true?"
* This quote does not occur in normal gameplay, because Mario can only obtain Red Berries at this point.[1]

  • "Please plant it somewhere nice and take extra good care of it. If you plant it somewhere bad and I find out about it, I might place a curse on you... Heh heh ho hm hm hmmf..."
  • "If you lose your way here in Forever Forest, it means you're not looking carefully enough. I know... It's often confusing. It's not an easy task. It takes guts to look really closely at this scary scenery."
  • "I miss my beautiful hometown, Flower Fields. Oh! That warm sunshine spilling from the clear blue sky... the sweet smell of wind... But...my place is here now... This is my home now."
  • "Hey, when you listen really carefully, can you hear the voices of the Stars above us? I think I do...and I think they can hear us, as well. They listen for all the wishes of folks down here. I hope the Star Spirits make it back to Star Haven before it's too late. This world won't be right again until they're back where they belong."
  • "It's a flower. I think... It doesn't seem to move like an ordinary flower, though."
  • "Oh! It's a Bub-ulb. The flower we saw must be the top of his head. He hands out Seeds. I'm willing to bet that these Seeds are really important. Let's plant 'em, Mario."

A lot of peasant Boos can be found in Gusty Gulch, although Stanley is eaten during Tubba Blubba's invasion in Chapter 3. After Tubba Blubba is defeated, he releases all the Boos in his stomach, and as a result two more Boos appear in the east of the gulch. The Boos are listed below from west to east.

The first Boo in the west half.
  • "Oh! Lady Bow! What a surprise, seeing you! You know, Your Ladyship, you really shouldn't come around here. It's dangerous. Tubba Blubba could come here at any time!"
  • "Why, just yesterday, Lady. It was horrible... He...ugh... This time, he...ate Herbert. Oh, it was gruesome! Poor Herbert! He was so dark and depressing! What a terrific Boo!"
  • "Oh! Lady! Your bravery is inspiring! But you know he's called the Invincible Tubba Blubba... Please be careful, OK?"
  • "When you come across Tubba Blubba, don't fight! He's invincible! Although somebody who claims to have no weaknesses must have at least one. If you could find it somehow..."
  • "Windy Mill? It's just over there."
  • "What! You're kidding! You defeated Tubba Blubba!? Oh, what a great day for Boos! I knew you'd do it, Lady Bow! Finally, we can exist safely. We owe you a great debt. ...Oh, and I guess you folks helped the lady a little bit. Good work, too."*
  • "I heard from one of the Boos eaten by Tubba Blubba that his belly was literally packed full of ghosts for a while. He never felt full, though. Of course not. We're ghosts!"
  • "Hi, Mario. You're looking good, as usual. You'd need to be paler if you want to be a proper ghost. Take my face, for example. It takes a lot of work, but look how pale I am! Whuh...? You've seen paler? Really...?"
  • "He's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. He's in love with Bow. If he can occasionally see Bow, his life is complete."

The second Boo in the west half. This Boo holds the Package involved in one of Koopa Koot's sidequests.
  • "Psst! Buddy! Did you know you can walk slowly and stealthily by moving the Control Stick a little bit? You can use this technique to walk quietly and avoid waking sleeping people."
  • "Tubba Blubba is coming!? Oh no! Quick, hide! Aaagh!"
  • "That naughty Boo that Tubba Blubba ate came back! It was so lonely around here without him... It really made me realize the importance of friends."*
  • "That naughty Boo that Tubba Blubba ate came back! He was always a troublemaker, but it was weird with him gone. But now, everything's back to normal again... Thanks for saving him!"
  • "Has my naughty friend played any spooky tricks on you yet? It'd be a shame if you came all the way out to Gusty Gulch and didn't get messed with..."
  • "Oh, hello. You're running an errand for old Koopa Koot, are you? ...Uh-oh... Now where did I...? I wasn't really ready for this... Where'd I leave that thing? I'd better go look for it. Um... Do you think you can wait for just a second? I should find it soon enough, so why don't you kill some time by wandering around here?"
  • "Can you wait a little while longer? I'm still looking..."
  • "Thank you for waiting!♡ I finally found it. I can't believe it took me so long to track it down! Anyway, please give my regards to Koopa Koot, OK? And take care!"
  • "That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Have you ever looked closely at Boos? I think they have really charming faces. Just like other creatures, there are some that are cute and some that just aren't. Which is which, though...?"
Herbert. The sprite is also shared with other Boos in Gusty Gulch
The third Boo in the west half.
  • "You've gotta watch out when you fight Hyper Goombas. They charge up their attack power and then unleash it. The best thing to do when they get charged up is to get Outta Sight with Lady Bow!"
  • "You what!? You discovered Tubba Blubba's secret? And now he's chasing you!? Oh no... Oh... I've gotta hide somewhere!"
  • "Now that Tubba Blubba has stopped eating everyone, the forest is peaceful again. Now we can return to our days of scaring everyone who enters the forest and playing delightful pranks! Pardon me? No pranks? ... I'm not promising anything."*
  • "Oh. Mario, how's Lady Bow doing? She's a fine, upstanding Boo and is very delicate, so you be sure to take care of her." [A hidden Boo: "Excuse me, Mario? Bleeeahhhhh!!!"] "Oooh! Excellent! What technique! What perfect delivery! There's always something new I can learn from that guy. What a Boo master! I've got to work on my scaring skills, too!"
  • "Hey, Mario, have you saved all of the Star Spirits yet? I wonder why I care... I don't even know if Star Spirits listen to the wishes of ghosts. I sure hope they do..." [A hidden Boo: "Pardon me, Mario? Broooaargh!!!"] "Oh yeah! Another score! Boy, nobody scares people like that Boo! Wow! Such a flawless appearance! It takes my breath away. ... Actually, if we're splitting hairs, I'm a ghost so I don't actually breathe."
  • "That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. You know, Boos can't be attacked if they're invisible. Isn't that convenient? Whenever trouble appears, they can just disappear until the coast is clear again. I guess they're only in danger if they're taken by surprise."
Herbert. The sprite is also shared with other Boos in Gusty Gulch
The fourth Boo in the west half.
  • "I had a friend who escaped from Tubba Blubba's Castle the other day, and he said... 'The key to solving the secret is inside the innermost room. Pay attention to both the heart and body, and don't...' Then, just as he was finishing, Tubba Blubba ate him. I wonder what the rest of his message was..."
  • "What? Whaaaaat? Tubba Blubba's behind you? Noooo! I don't wanna be eaten!"
  • "Peace has finally returned to our hill. Tubba Blubba's not going to eat anybody anymore."*
  • "My friend came back! I couldn't be happier! Now it's time to get back to scaring people senseless. I can't wait..."
  • "Now then... What to do, what to do? Who should I scare? I want to hear people shriek and watch them run away yelling! That's what makes Boos happy. So, if you could, when a Boo scares you, try to be as terrified as possible, OK?"
  • "That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. This land is totally barren. I wonder what Boos find to eat around these parts. Oh yeah. They're ghosts. I guess maybe they don't need to eat anything."
Herbert. The sprite is also shared with other Boos in Gusty Gulch
The first Boo in the east half.
  • "Oh. Hello. Boo, I guess. Poor effort. Sorry. I had a weird dream last night... This dream voice said... 'Sometimes you must turn and run away. You must run and run until you reach the tower with the spinning vanes.' Something like that, anyway. What could it mean?"
  • "Stanleeeeeeeey!!! He ate Stanley! I can't believe I just saw Stanley get eaten! Oh, I'm gonna be sick... Oh, cruel destiny!"
  • "Huh? Some Boos just went to help you. What happened to them?"
  • "All my friends who got eaten by Tubba Blubba are back! They've been telling me all these crazy stories about being inside Tubba Blubba's stomach... What it was like to go rolling down the throat into the belly... Talk about a wild ride! And talk about disgusting!"*
  • "Tubba Blubba ate up my dear, lovely Victoria...but now she's come back safely! Victoria... So coy... She's never even given me the time of day..."
  • "Oh...sweet Victoria... Please give me a sign! You're the object of my fondest nightmares!"
  • "That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Consider this: Is this place lonely because Boos make their home here, or do Boos live here because this place is lonely? .... That riddle's gonna keep me up all night."
Herbert. The sprite is also shared with other Boos in Gusty Gulch
The second Boo in the east half.
  • "My friend escaped from Tubba Blubba's Castle. He claims that Tubba Blubba hides something incredibly important right next to his bed. I wonder what it could be."
  • "Tubba Blubba sometimes travels down to the foot of the hill. I'm sure he's doing something secretive down there, but... ...what could it be?"
  • "Buhh... Uhhh... Tubbba Bbblubbaa...ate..."
  • "Buh? Whuh? What? Tubba Blubba's coming?"
  • "I swear, when I first saw my friends who had been eaten by Tubba Blubba return... I was totally shocked. I felt like I was seeing ghosts. I'm just glad that everyone's safe and sound again."*
  • "Boos are saying that Tubba Blubba took off. Phew! This area will once again be a ghost paradise. Not only that... Tubba Blubba returned all the ghosts he'd eaten! And here we thought they were gone for good."
  • "Everyone is so crazy about the lovely Victoria. But the way I hear it, she's already got somebody specific in mind. Sigh... Love is so painful. Not all wishes can be granted, I suppose. How sad..."
  • "That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Boos live in this wasted land and scare people. They also take scare-trips to Forever Forest for fun. It must be fun having nothing to do except scare people."
Herbert. The sprite is also shared with other Boos in Gusty Gulch
Stanley. He instructs everyone to hide during Tubba Blubba's invasion, shortly after which he is eaten by Tubba Blubba.
  • "Hello there! You're going up to beat Tubba Blubba, right? Yeah! Get revenge! He'll never eat another ghost! Never! Especially not..."
  • "Oh... Oh no! Tubba Blubba's coming! Everybody, hide!! Lady Bow! You have to hide Mario!"
  • "Everything's cool, Lady! He can't see you! Nope, there's no way Tubba Blubba can see you right now!"

The third Boo (besides Stanley) in the east half.
  • "You know, Tubba Blubba lived in that castle for a while and was perfectly nice. It was a great place for ghosts, too. So dim and dark... But then one day he turned invincible and started acting crazy. He started eating all the Boos in the castle! It was insane! We had no choice but to flee or be eaten..."
  • "Oh!! Stanley!! Oh, the horror of it all..."
  • "Stanley! No! Ah... Why you, too?"
  • "Windy Mill? Just keep heading down along the gulch. You'll see it before you reach the Boo mansion."
  • "Until yesterday, it was just a dream to have all the Boos living together happily. But it's not a dream now, is it! Thanks to Lady Bow!"*
  • "I'm really happy that all the ghosts are back, but... with so many of us around, people might get used to us and not get scared anymore. That would be a tragedy, huh? Maybe we'd better find a quiet place with fewer ghosts so we're not so conspicuous."
  • "It seems like fewer and fewer people are getting lost and coming around here recently. I haven't even tried my new way of terrifying people yet. I've been practicing for ages. Maybe I should start wishing to the Stars for people to lose their way more often. Then we'll be in business."
  • "That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Don't you think Boos have expressive faces? They must do special face exercises to be able to stretch them so much. Pulling a face muscle would hurt."
Herbert. The sprite is also shared with other Boos in Gusty Gulch
A Boo that appears after Tubba Blubba's defeat. It is unclear whether this Boo is Stanley.
  • "I never thought I'd be back in dear old Gusty Gulch again. I swear, when Tubba Blubba ate me, I thought that was the end for this Boo. But now it looks like everything might work out. And now I've got a great story to tell youngsters."
  • "My dear Victoria has also come back safe and sound. I was desperate when she was first eaten by Tubba Blubba, that's for sure. Now I'm by her side again... What? You can't see her? Ha ha ha... Of course not! She's a ghost, Mario! I finally made up my mind. I'm going to confess my feelings for the lovely Victoria. But how to tell her... First, I figured I'd express my feelings by giving her a present like, you know... 'Here's a Fire Flower to show how hot the flame of my passion burns.' or... 'Are you shocked to know of my love? Here's a Volt Shroom.' or... ... Gaaah!! I can't decide! Which line do you think would work better?"
  • "Victoria loves me back! We're going to get married when Lady Bow returns here! So...hurry up and come back as soon as possible, OK? Seriously! Soon!"
  • "That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. It's hard to tell if they're male or female, isn't it? They should all wear bows like Bow does. That'd make it easier."
Herbert. The sprite is also shared with other Boos in Gusty Gulch
Herbert, another Boo who appears after Tubba Blubba's defeat.
  • "Since Tubba Blubba left, this hill seems so quiet. It's almost like a... ghost town or something. Chilling and desolate... Heh heh...♡"
  • "I'm a ghost named Herbert. Isn't that a great name? My grandmother named me. My ancestors lived in that castle for many generations. They were great ghosts. I wanna be that great. I wanna be so scary that no one will ever forget me."
  • "That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. You know, I think it's possible for a ghost to be cute and scary at the same time. It all depends on the person they're scaring. What's cute to one may be horrifying to another. This Boo doesn't look that scary. He looks too nice."
Boos blocking the door of Tubba Blubba's Castle in Paper Mario
After Mario obtains Yakkey and escapes from Tubba Blubba's Castle while chased by Tubba Blubba, six Boos from Gusty Gulch will come and block the door to prevent Tubba Blubba from getting out. One of them can be talked to and tattled after the cutscene finishes.
  • "At last, we've arrived at Tubba Blubba's Castle! Are you ready, everyone? Be brave! We must do all we can to help the Lady Bow!"
  • "This is no time to lose our nerve, fellow Boos! Our dear lady is fighting against Tubba Blubba himself! We mustn't hesitate!"
  • "Wha... Wha... What's that noise? Tubba Blubba's chasing you?! And he's right on the other side of the door?! Gulp!"
  • "What!? You might be able to find out Tubba Blubba's weak point? Oh, of course! The windmill at the foot of the hill..."
  • "You must hurry! Run as fast as you can to the Windy Mill! We'll hold Tubba Blubba here!"
  • "I...don't know how long...we can... keep holding this. Don't worry about us! Go, for all our sakes! Don't look back!"
  • (After cutscene, when talked to) "We can't hold it much longer! Hurry to the Windy Mill!"
  • "That's a brave Boo. Even though he knows he may be eaten, he's willing to try to help us. How noble! You know, it takes a lot of guts to walk straight into the mouth of danger to help others. I guess he came partly to help us but mostly to help Bow. Every Boo loves Bow, after all."

A Bub-ulb with a yellow flower found in Jade Jungle.
  • "Yo, what's up? Thanks for waking me up. This island's so nice, isn't it? It's the perfect place for napping. Perfect temperature. I'm a Bub-ulb. My job is to fill this world with flowers. Nice, huh? I want you to take this seed. ...Or rather, that's what I want to say to you. Unfortunately, the seed isn't quite ready yet. Don't worry, though. It'll be ready anytime now. Waiting in such a warm, comfy place can't be all bad, right? Come grab the seed later. I'm pretty generous, so I'll be here giving stuff to people."
  • "Did you come for the seed? Sorry, but it's not ready yet. Don't be in such a hurry. Time flies when you chase it. Come back after a while. And try to relax, OK?"
  • "Oh, hello. How are you doing? What? You want that seed? Aw, I completely forgot you! I just gave it to a guy named Kolorado or something. Sorry about that. I'm so generous that I just have to give something to everyone."
  • "Hey, there's my seed! So you were able to track it down after all? Oh, that's cool. When I thought about it later, I had a feeling it would've been better to give that seed to you."
  • "Yo, what's up? I can't get over how perfect the temperature is around here. We have to thank the sun that it's so warm. Thanks, bud! So luxurious..."
  • "It's a flower. I guess that's pretty obvious... It doesn't seem to move like an ordinary flower, though."*
  • "Oh! A Bub-ulb. I don't know why it's growing here. It's a very strange flower, don't you think? This Seed... I bet it's something very important. Important to Bub-ulbs, anyway."
* This tattle is shared with the Bub-ulb in the southern part of Toad Town. The game's coding has an unused tattle "It's a flower, I guess. It doesn't seem to move like an ordinary flower, though." at this position, so it is probably a programming error.

Koopa Bros. Fortress[edit]

Four Bob-ombs are imprisoned in the basement of Koopa Bros. Fortress along with Bombette in Chapter 1. After the Koopa Bros. are defeated, they will be absent, having moved to Koopa Village.

Goombario's Tattle
A red Bob-Omb from Paper Mario
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 sprite of Bruce from Paper Mario
A blue Bob-omb (later identified as Bruce).
  • "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 from Paper Mario
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 from Paper Mario
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.?"

Koopa Village[edit]

Koopa Village is home to Koover, Mort T., Kolorado, Kolorado's wife, Kooper, Bruce (after Chapter 1), Koopa Koot, as well as several unnamed Koopa Troopas and Bob-omb refugees.

Goombario's Tattle
KoopaTroopaPM.png
A Koopa Troopa near the bushes in the west of the west scene. During the Fuzzy invasion, his shell is on the brick block above the bushes.
  • "Oh, woe! My shell's up there! What'll I do...? I can't reach that high!"
  • "Oh, you're the best! Thank you very much!"
  • "Oh, yes I'm much more comfy inside my shell. Without it, I feel every little breeze!"
  • "Is it true that Kooper is joining your adventure, Mario? That's terrific! Come back as a hero, Kooper!"
  • "By the way, I heard a rumor that Princess Peach was kidnapped recently. I hope she's OK... How many times has she been kidnapped in her life, anyway? Seems like a lot."
  • "Please do your best, Mario. I'm trying to do mine."
  • "You don't say? A giant Koopa named Kent C. Koopa is blocking Pleasant Path? ...I remember him! Ever since he was little, he's been able to fall asleep anytime, anywhere. It used to be impossible to wake him up."
  • "I wonder what Princess Peach is doing right now. I'm wishing to the Stars that she returns home safely."
  • "Is it only my imagination or did Koopa Troopas used to walk around on four legs? I guess that was a really long time ago, huh?"
KoopaTroopaPM.png
A Koopa Troopa near the tree in the west scene. During the Fuzzy invasion, his shell is in the tree.
  • "Curse those stupid Fuzzies! They put my shell in the tree! How can they be so mean for no reason? That was my best shell!"
  • "Thanks, Mario! This shell was made to order. That's why it fits me so well. I mean, how cool do I look?"
  • "The Koopa Bros. of the fortress used to live in this village. They left, though, because they said it just wasn't exciting enough around here."
  • "I remember Kooper used to always talk about traveling the world as an explorer. Going with Mario is a great chance to travel, isn't it? Make us proud, Kooper!"
  • "I finally bought a new shell. What do you think? Don't you think the glossy finish really brings out the trim?"
  • "Kent C. Koopa used to live in this village. But he always insisted that we pay him money for no reason. What an extortionist! If you want to hear stories about him, ask anybody in this village."
  • "... Oh, did you say something?"
  • "Koopa Troopas sunbathe in their shells when it's sunny out. Supposedly, a lot of Koopa Troopas set trends and are totally fashionable. I guess they have different tastes from mine..."

  • "Thank you!! Are there any more items you want to sell?"
  • "Hey, you don't have any items at all!"
  • "Yes? You didn't store anything."
  • "He's a Koopa Troopa merchant who sells goods. He also checks and buys stuff. You might want to buy some stuff from him if we're going somewhere dangerous."

A Koopa Troopa who lies in a hammock listening to radio in the rightmost house of the west scene.
  • "Supposedly, these Bob-ombs recently ran away from the Koopa Bros. Fortress. Of course, things aren't much better here in the village. The Fuzzies are running wild! Poor little Bob-ombs... Huh? Me? I don't leave my house because I couldn't bear it if the Fuzzies made a fool of me. They'd probably take my shell and play with it. I know I don't look cool without my shell. Nope. No, thank you. I'd rather just stay here and listen to music."
  • "Hey! We can go outside again because the Fuzzies are gone! Stupendous! Spectacular! It's time to bask in the sun! A little music on the radio, a little sunshine on my shell... Does it get any better?"
  • (Island Sounds Station) "Aw, I love this song! Doesn't it remind you of a tropical island? Get down! Yow!"
  • (Golden Oldies Station) "Aw, I love this song! Golden oldies remind me of the good old days. Sing it!"
  • (Hot Hits Music Station) "Oh, this song always brings tears to my eyes... So moving..."
  • (Information Station) "Hey, hey! Hands off the dial! That's my jam, right there! Don't turn off the funk! I was getting my groove on!"
  • "This Koopa Troopa obviously loves the radio. He's always listening to it. He seems to prefer music to the news reports. Who wouldn't? I like music, too. How about you, Mario?"
A red Bob-Omb from Paper Mario
A red Bob-omb hiding in the radio-loving Koopa's house during the Fuzzy invasion. After the Fuzzies flee, he is in front of the tree in the west scene.
  • "You must listen! The Koopa Bros. in the fortress worked us too hard. As far as they're concerned, laborers have no rights. I will never, ever go back to work in such a terrible place."
  • "You must listen! The Koopa Bros. in the fortress worked us too hard. It was a long road, but I'm still glad I ran away. I'd rest easier if I knew those Koopa Bros. had been punished."
  • "I decided to stay here with my friends for a while. It's a nice place."
  • "I feel...so very happy... ...surrounded by friends..."
  • "Bombette will be victorious! You can bet your bombs on it..."
  • "I'm a Bob-omb. I love to bomb-bomb!"
  • "He's a Bob-omb. He used to work inside Koopa Bros. Fortress. Now he lives here among the Koopa Troopas. He sometimes blows up at very inappropriate times. Not that it's such a big deal, but somebody might get mad."
A red Bob-Omb from Paper Mario
A red Bob-omb hiding in the radio-loving Koopa's house during the Fuzzy invasion. After the Fuzzies flee, he is in front of the tree in the west scene.
  • "We're Bob-ombs. We just ran away from the Koopa Bros. Fortress. We thought we'd at least find some peace here in the village. Boy, were we wrong. The Fuzzies are running wild around here. All we want is a little peace..."
  • "Of course we're happy that we made it out of the fortress... but we still worry constantly about our imprisoned friends. They didn't make it out with us. Oh, what a tragedy! I wish there were some way that we could rescue them. Sigh..."
  • "Finally... Without those Fuzzies it's so peaceful here. But what good is peace for us if our friends are still stuck in jail inside the fortress?"
  • "Bombette! You're safe!? Oh, joy!! I was so worried about you!"
  • "Good luck, Bombette! We Bob-ombs will all be wishing you luck! Bombs away!"
  • "Here's a little something I put together to wish Mario and Bombette luck! Bomb-bomb!"
  • "We salute you! Buh-bomb!"
  • "Explosion is a fine art! Bomb-bomb!"
  • "Bombs away, Mario! We wish you the best of luck! Bomb-bomb, ker-BOMB!"
  • "He's a Bob-omb. He's from inside the walls of Koopa Bros. Fortress. Even if he explodes, you'll be fine as long as you stay a good distance away. You never know when these Bob-ombs might go off!"
A red Bob-Omb from Paper Mario
A red Bob-omb who joins the Bob-ombs in front of the tree after Mario defeats the Koopa Bros.
  • "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Way to beat the Koopa Bros.! Now we can all live in this village in peace and harmony. Freedom is glorious!"
  • "Some of our other friends who were also in the fortress are living in that vacant house over there now. I guess I should go over and visit one of these days. ...Because, you know, nothing is more precious than friendship."
  • "Oh, yeah... the air out here is so wonderfully clear. The oxygen content really helps me make huge explosions! My ambition is to make an explosion so loud that all of Mushroom Kingdom will hear it and be amazed. Tee hee hee... I'm burning up with the very idea of such a blast!"
  • "It's not fair that bad guys' wishes always come true, and good guys' wishes don't! By the way, we get really angry just before we explode."
  • "He's a Bob-omb. He used to be stuck in the jail at Koopa Bros. Fortress. He must have escaped. Now he lives with his friends in Koopa Village. Koopa Village is quite the popular place now. I wonder how they're dealing with the population boom."
KoopaTroopaPM.png
A Koopa Troopa near the westernmost bushes in the east scene. During the Fuzzy invasion, his shell is not stolen.
  • "You Fuzzies won't beat me! Behold my power! Goahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Wheeze... How was that? Super power, wasn't it?"
  • "Mr. Kolorado is a famous archaeologist from here. He hasn't been back here to his house since he went to Dry Dry Desert. Mr. Kolorado's wife is always worrying about him. They live in that house over there with the yellow roof."
  • "Mr. Kolorado is a famous archaeologist from here. That house with the yellow roof is his."
  • "If I use my strength, don't you think I can save this village? Then you won't have to. OK, then! I'll try my best!"
  • "You can trust me to keep the peace in this village! But others need your help! Good luck, Mario!"
  • "He's a Koopa Troopa from Koopa Village. He's easygoing, but he seems to have a sense of justice, too. Sometimes the fight for justice is dangerous, you know. Goompa told me that we must always be strong inside, or else we could get hurt. I'm trying to be strong, just like this Koopa. I respect him for that."
KoopaTroopaPM.png
A Koopa Troopa on the yellow ground in the east scene. During the Fuzzy invasion, he chases a Fuzzy who stole his shell.
  • "That Fuzzy took my shell! I ran after it, but it just laughed and taunted me!"
  • "No matter how fast I run, I can't catch that guy! I can't believe this..."
  • "Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Typical Mario style! You're just as cool as I heard you were!"
  • "I can't help but think that Fuzzies'll steal my shell again. I can't relax. Just being outside makes me nervous."
  • "The Fuzzies are gone now. Phew! To tell the truth, though, it's a bit boring here now."
  • "What'll we do if those Fuzzies come back sometime! They might take our shells again! Those rascals! How strangely thrilling... Oh... my heart..."
  • "What's up, Mario? I've been hearing about all the adventures you've been on. Since Kooper's traveling with you, there's always news coming to the village. Good luck, all of you! I'll be rooting for you!"
  • "The stars are beginning to appear more clearly. Maybe now our wishes will come true again, and everything will turn out just fine. I can only hope that we won't see such bad times again. A quiet village...a little peace. That's all I need to be happy."
  • "He's a Koopa Troopa from Koopa Village. You know, when Koopas are in a hurry, they slide on the undersides of their shells. You wouldn't see anyone doing that around here. These guys are never in a hurry."
KoopaTroopaPM.png
A Koopa Troopa near the puzzle in the east scene. During the Fuzzy invasion, his shell is placed on a high brick block. Mario can solve the puzzle to reach the block.
  • "Wahhhhhhhhh! What a world! My favorite shell! I just washed it! A Fuzzy put it up there! How will I ever get it? Please tell me! Help, somebody!"
  • "A Fuzzy put my favorite shell up there! How will I ever get it? Please tell me! Help, somebody!"
  • "I might have known! You're so clever, Mario!"
  • "I'll be careful not to let anyone near my shell ever again!"
  • "Those Fuzzies were a real pain in the shell, but it seems too quiet without them. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if they came by once in a while... Don't tell anyone I said that."
  • "Do you know Mr. Kolorado? He's one of the bright lights of Koopa Village. He's a professor of archaeology, don't you know. We haven't seen him back here since he went to Dry Dry Desert to study some ruins."
  • "You must be tired from your adventuring. You can rest all you like here in Koopa Village!"
  • "To me, pure happiness is a life of peace. Once in a while, though, I like a little excitement."
  • "He's a Koopa Troopa from Koopa Village. As you can see, most Koopa Troopas are easygoing but a little bit shy. There are some exceptions, but he seems to be typical. You gotta love the easygoing types, huh, Mario?"
KoopaTroopaPM.png
A Koopa Troopa walking between the puzzle and the easternmost bush in the east scene. During the Fuzzy invasion, his shell is not stolen.
  • "I put a high-tech lock on my shell so that the Fuzzies can't take it. They'll never manage to pry it off me now! Ha ha! I'm not sure if I can even get it off, to be honest."
  • "The Fuzzies are gone. You know, I didn't hate them, even though they were naughty."
  • "Mario, everybody's saying that their wishes aren't coming true these days. Aren't our wishes getting through to the Stars anymore?"
  • "Basking out in the sun feels really, really good. ...So sleepy..."
  • "... Oh, hi there! Feel free to relax, OK?"
  • "He's a Koopa Troopa from Koopa Village. He's pretty mellow. He doesn't even care if he's surrounded by all kinds of noise. As long as nothing interferes with his personal space, he doesn't care what goes on in town. It must be nice to have a such stress-free personality."
A green Bob-Omb from Paper Mario
A green Bob-omb in front of Kooper's house. Appears after Chapter 1.
  • "I don't see why we can't live in this vacant house. It'd be awesome! We've wanted our own house for the longest time! But I guess we might have a problem if the owner of the house comes back, huh? We could always go back to the fortress, I suppose."
  • "They're arguing in the house. I'm not going in there..."
  • "Please hurry up and beat Bowser, OK, Mario? Say, you don't know when the owner of this house is coming back, do you? We could always go back to the fortress, I suppose."
  • "He's a Bob-omb who was in jail at Koopa Bros. Fortress. He made a home in Koopa Village. I always thought that all Bob-ombs did was continually blow each other up, but... I guess I was wrong."
A green Bob-Omb from Paper Mario
A green Bob-omb in Kooper's house along with Bruce. Appears after Chapter 1.
  • "He's in love with Bombette. But she doesn't like him because he's so persistent. Love is complicated..."
  • "'Bombette!' 'Bombette!' It's all he ever says! It's so annoying!"
  • "Shut up! She probably dumped you 'cause you never stopped talking!"
  • "Did you hear this guy, Bombette? He never, ever stops talking about you! Bud-a-bomb!"
  • "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! The neighbors are starting to complain about your noise! Quit your bellyaching!"
  • "Oh, shut up!! Enough already! Stop brooding over her!"
  • "Ooh, you made her angry... I feel bad for you, but man... You talk way too much. You need to play it cool, or she'll never like you at all. I'm sure she'll come around one of these days if you can just..."
  • "Please hurry up and beat Bowser, will you? Then maybe Bombette will come back, and he'll be quiet!"
  • "This Bob-omb was in jail at Koopa Bros. Fortress. He decided to settle here. With his friends as roommates, it's bound to be noisy."

  • "Mt. Rugged! Mt. Rugged! Passengers heading for Dry Dry Desert or Dry Dry Outpost, should proceed directly over Mt. Rugged from this station."
  • "We still have a little time before our next departure. Come back in a while."
  • "Hello, sir. This train is bound for Toad Town Station. Are you coming aboard?"
  • "He's the station master at the Mt. Rugged Station. He looks just like the one in Toad Town. Why is that? Is it because of his uniform... or the pattern on his head? Pretty cool uniform, huh?"
A red Toad in Paper Mario
A red Toad found standing by the bench on the train station platform. Absent after Mario arrives at Dry Dry Outpost.
  • "The train's running again. Phew. About time! I can finally go back to Toad Town."
  • "This Toad works at the local travel agency. It's called Toad Town Tours. They like to personally inspect sites for future tours. I wonder what people could possibly want to see in the desert or on Mt. Rugged?"
A green Dryite from Paper Mario
A green Dryite found in front of the train station.
  • "If you want to go to Dry Dry Desert, you'll have to hike over Mt. Rugged. Follow the arrows on the signboards so you don't get lost. There are a lot of scary creatures around here. If you're not careful, you'll get hurt in a big way. If things are looking desperate, you'd better run away really fast. At least I would..."
  • "Somebody told me that Dry Dry Ruins just rose from the sand! No way! Do you believe it?"
  • "Some people think trains are pretty boring, but I don't. One day, I'm gonna get on this train right here and go to a town far, far away."
  • "A Dryite. He hangs around this station all the time. He must like traveling by train, I guess."
Kris T. of the Three Beautiful Sisters in Paper Mario
A green-spotted Toad girl found in front of the train station.
  • "I saw a creature called a Whacka on Mt. Rugged! It was extra cute!"

  • "This Toad loves to study the creatures of the world. She's really into conservation. She doesn't want anything to become extinct."

  • "Ah! Mt. Rugged Station! We finally made it, girls! Breathe that fresh air! I've always wanted to see Dry Dry Outpost and now we're almost there!"
  • "I heard that some of the hiking trails on Mt. Rugged are closed and that some dangerous creatures are about. How exciting! Danger! We'll be all right, right? Anything goes out here in the wild world! Oh, I've never felt so alive!"
  • "Stop it with those stories! You're giving me goosebumps! Don't talk anymore! Let's just bite the bullet and forge ahead! We didn't come all the way from Toad Town to turn back!"
  • "This Toad is one of the castle maids. Seeing as the castle has up and disappeared, I guess they've decided to take a holiday. Traveling does have a way of refreshing the body and mind."
  • "This Toad is one of the castle maids. They're all traveling together. They're quite good friends. I've never seen 'em apart!"
  • "This Toad is one of the castle maids. She's always been very curious. I wonder what kind of trip they're taking. It's definitely not going to be as difficult as our journey, but I'm kind of curious."
A pink Bub-ulb from Paper Mario
A Bub-ulb with a blue flower found on Mt. Rugged.
  • "Huh...? You're talking to me? I don't see anyone else here... All right! You are talking to me! It's been a long while since I first came here from my home in Flower Fields, but you're still the very first person to speak a word to me. Nobody ever notices me. The few people I actually see just think I'm blooming. I love a good conversation! Here, take this as thanks! This is a precious Seed. Keep it well and remember me."
  • "Please grow my Seed with care. It'll help you one day..."
  • "You know what makes me happy? When folks see me and smile. That's every flower's dream. Every flower's hope. Every flower's...life."
  • "You know, there are lots of my fellow Bub-ulbs living throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. If you run into any of them, be sure to stop and chat a bit. They'll be delighted."
  • "Are you taking a trip around the world or something? Traveling's fun, I guess. Not for me, though. Nuh-uh. I've decided to stay right here forever and ever."
  • "A flower, I think. But... Do most flowers move like that?"
  • "Oh! A Bub-ulb. I don't know why, but they give out Seeds. Boy, if there are lots of these guys in Flower Fields, it must be a hopping place!"
