Dialogue

 * Foreman Spike: Well, well, well, if it isn't Brooklyn's favorite failures, the Stupid Mario Brothers.
 * [The brothers march to Spike's seat, annoyed]
 * Luigi: [sarcastically] Oh, great. Spike's here.
 * Mario: Hey, Spike.
 * Spike: Yeah. [mockingly] "It's-a me!" [laughs] Ooh, yeah. [seriously] Tell me, have you even gotten one call since you two have left me to start your dumb company?
 * Luigi: As a matter of fact, Spike, we have. [raises and points at his phone]
 * Mario: Wow. Really?
 * Luigi: Uh, yeah. Our mom called, and she said, "Oh, boys, that's the best commercial I've ever seen!" And I said, "Thank you very much, mother, we're very proud of it." So, boom! [slams his phone, cracking the screen]
 * Spike: [laughs] Good luck running a business with this idiot. [throws a balled-up napkin at Luigi]
 * Mario: [catches the balled-up napkin; in tranquil fury] Say that again about my brother, and you're gonna regret it. [throws ball back at Spike's head]
 * Spike: Oh, yeah? [grabs Mario by the overall] Get this through your tiny brain, Mario: You're a joke, and you always will be. [throws Mario on the ground, leaves the money on the table, and walks out of the building]
 * Luigi: Are you insane? He's three times than your size.
 * Mario: Luigi, c'mon. Y'know, you can't be scared all the time.
 * Luigi: Mmm, you'd be surprised.


 * [In Peach's Castle, the Toad Council holds a meeting following Bowser's attack on the Snow Kingdom.]
 * Toad General: Council, your attention. Bowser has found the Super Star and is headed toward our kingdom. Its power will make him invincible. We will be destroyed.
 * [The Toads gasp]
 * Yellow Council Toad: Princess, what are we gonna do?!
 * : [rising from her throne] I will not let him hurt you. We are going to stop Bowser!
 * Yellow Council Toad: How?! Look at us. [he and the others make puppy-dog eyes] We're adorable!
 * Peach: I'm going to convince the Great Kong Army to help us. Together, we'll annihilate that monster!
 * Toad General: Their mad king doesn't make alliances! The Kongs will never agree!
 * Peach: I can convince him. I'll leave for the Jungle Kingdom in the morning. [leaves]
 * Toad General: Good luck, Princess. For all our sakes.


 * [After Mario semi-successfully completes the training course]
 * Peach: Well, we have a long journey ahead of us, mustache.
 * Mario: But I didn't make it.
 * Peach: You almost did. No one gets it right away.
 * Mario: How many tries did it take you?
 * Peach: [her eyes widen] Oh, so many. I was not good at it. Worse than you. [flashes a guilty grin]
 * Mario: [not buying it] You got it right away, didn't you?
 * Peach: I got it right away, but I grew up here.
 * Mario: Okay, now you're just trying to make me feel better.
 * Peach: No. No. [pause] Is it working?
 * Mario: A little bit, yeah.


 * Mario: You don't seem like you're from here.
 * Fire Peach: I don't know where I'm from.
 * Mario: Really?
 * Fire Peach: Yep. My earliest memory is arriving. [flashback to Baby Peach entering the Mushroom Kingdom pipe and meeting the Toads] I was so lucky they found me. [as Peach grows up, shots of her fishing Cheep Cheeps and training with the Toads are shown] They took me in and raised me like one of their own. And when I was ready... [cut to Peach being coronated as the Toads cheer for her] they made me their princess.
 * [Flashback ends]
 * Mario: And maybe you're from my world.
 * Fire Peach: [looking up at the sky] There's a huge universe out there...with a lot of galaxies.


 * Bowser: What is your name?
 * Luigi: Uh,... Luigi.
 * Bowser: Not sure if you know who I am, but I'm about to marry a princess and rule the world.
 * Luigi: [smiles nervously] Wow. Uh, yay.
 * Bowser: But there's one problem, Luigi. There's a human traveling with my fiancé; has a mustache, just like you. Do you know him?
 * Luigi: No. No!
 * Bowser: Ah, tough one, I see. Maybe this'll get you to talk. [pulls at a strand of Luigi's mustache with his claws]
 * Luigi: Do you think I know every human being with a mustache wearing an identical outfit with a hat with the letter of his first name on it?! Because I don't!
 * [Bowser impatiently plucks the strand off, then plucks at more of Luigi's mustache]
 * Bowser: Do you know him?!
 * Luigi: Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop, stop! I know him! Yes, I know him! Yeah, he's my brother, Mario, and he's the best guy in the world!
 * Bowser: Do princesses find him attractive?!
 * Luigi: They do if they have good taste!
 * [Bowser rips part of Luigi's mustache, making him scream; Bowser tosses him to the ground]
 * Bowser: GET HIM OUTTA MY SIGHT!! We'll see how tough this Mario is when he watches me KILL HIS BROTHER!!


 * [Donkey Kong enters The Great Ring of Kong; he dances to the DK Rap from "Donkey Kong 64", with the crowd cheering wildly]
 * Donkey Kong: [raps along] I'm D.K.! I'm Donkey Kong!
 * Young Kong: Yeah! We love you!
 * Donkey Kong: Oh, yeah! [waves at his father] Hi, Dad! Hi!
 * Cranky Kong: No. No! Don't do that!
 * Donkey Kong: [continues dancing] Dad, wave back!
 * Cranky Kong: Enough with the showboating!
 * Donkey Kong: Whattaya mean?! They like it! It's what they came here for! Dancin' pecs! [flexes his pecs]
 * Cranky Kong: [to crowd] Okay, simmer down! [the crowd still cheers] I said, "Simmer down!" [the crowd stops cheering, and the song stops, but Diddy Kong still chants "D.K.!"] That means you, Diddy Kong!
 * Diddy Kong: D.-- [stops chanting and sits down] Sorry.
 * Cranky Kong: Now, since I want this fight to last more than five seconds, I put power-ups around the arena. You're welcome, Mario!
 * Donkey Kong: [smugly turns to Mario] I don't anything special to break every bone in your tiny body!


 * Mario: [after defeating Donkey Kong] Had enough?
 * Donkey Kong: [weakly] Not... even... close.
 * [he almost falls off the platform, until Mario grabs him by his tie]
 * Mario: I'll take that as a "Yes."
 * [Donkey Kong falls forward, and Mario jumps on him; the Kongs in the crowd cheer and chant "Mario!"]
 * Toad: YES! That's my best friend!


 * Donkey Kong: So, this is the end; being slowly digested by an eel next to an idiot in overalls.
 * Mario: Well, at least your brother isn't gonna die because of you.
 * Donkey Kong: [crossing his eyes] At least you're not gonna die with your dad thinking you're a joke.
 * Mario: [sullen] Yeah, well, my dad thinks I'm a joke, too.
 * Donkey Kong: [sadly] Yeah? Well... [angrily] Your dad's right!
 * Mario: You know what? I feel bad enough. Just- just leave me alone.
 * Donkey Kong: I've never met your dad, but he sounds "brilliant".
 * Mario: Just go in a corner and smash some stuff, smash monkey!
 * Donkey Kong: I... am... MORE... THAN A GUY... WHO SMASHES THINGS!!
