Dialogue

[edit]
Snow King: That is but a taste of our fury. Do you yield?
Bowser: [chuckles] I do not.
Mario: It's-a-me! A-Mario!
Luigi: And a-Luigi!
Foreman Spike: Well, well, well, if it isn't Brooklyn's favorite failures, the Stupid Mario Brothers.
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. [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]
Spike: Oh, yeah? [grabs Mario by the overalls] Get this through your tiny brain, Mario: you're a joke, and you always will be. [throws Mario on the ground, leaves some money, and exits]
Luigi: Are you insane? He's 3 times than your size.
Mario: Luigi, c'mon. Y'know, you can't be scared all the time.
Luigi: Mmm, you'd be surprised. [hears his cracked phone begins to ring with the Nintendo GameCube boot-up music and answers] Hello, Super Mario Brothers. Uh-huh? A drip in your faucet? That's great! I mean, that's...That's great you called us because we can be there, and we can fix it right away. Okay. [hangs up] Mario, we got one! The Super Mario Brothers are in business!
Mario: Woohoo!
[Mario looking around the mushrooms and tries to touch the blue mushroom] Toad jumps out of nowhere and startles him]
Toad: [jumps out of nowhere] DO NOT TOUCH THAT MUSHROOM! YOU'LL DIE! [Mario backs away, startled] Oop, I'm sorry. That one's perfectly fine. [leans on the blue mushroom and pats it]
Mario: [frightened] That's a little mushroom man. A little Mushroom man talking to me.
Toad: Please to meet you. I'm Toad.
Mario: [confused] Uh, Mario.
Mario: So this is not a dream? [Toad whacks him on the arm with his walking stick] Ah!
Toad: That hurt, right?
Mario: Yes!
Toad: Definitely not a dream.
[Both Mario and Toad were about to enter the castle to meet Princess Peach]
Blue Toad Guard: Hold it right there, you two!
Mario: Oh, hey. I need to see the princess. It's an emergency.
Blue Toad Guard: [looks at the Yellow Toad Guard and smirks and begins to mess with Mario] What princess?
Yellow Toad Guard: I never heard of any princess.
Blue Toad Guard: Oh, wait, I did. Our princess though is in another castle.
Yellow Toad Guard: Oh, yeah, that's right.
Blue Toad Guard: You should try another castle, maybe. She ain't in this one.
[They clack their axes together]
Mario: [confused] Huh?
Toad: Okay, so they're messing with you, and I don't like it. [pulls out his frying pan and scares the Toad guards and starts yelling but only to build a fire and start cooking, distracting the Toad guards from Mario] What do you guys, um, what do you wanna eat? Anything your hearts desire. [to Mario, quietly] Go! [continues cooking for the guards as Mario sneaks into the castle] I'm ready to scramble it up.
[Inside Peach's Castle, the Toad Council holds a meeting]
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?!
[Princess Peach: [rising] I will not let him hurt you. [ascending the stairs] We are going to stop Bowser.
Yellow Council Toad: How? Look at us. We're adorable! [he and the others widen their eyes]
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.
[As she leaves the throne room, she noticed Mario running up to her]
Mario: [first sees Peach in awe; slow motion] Princess! [as they reached their hands, Peach knocks knocks him to the floor, surprised; gets up] Princess, I- [getting tackled by the Toad guards]
Peach: Wait! Release him! [the Toads release Mario] Whoa! Are you...? [gasps excitedly] HE'S A HUMAN! [examining Mario with curiosity] I mean, you are a human, right? You're just so small.
Mario: [offended] Hey!
Peach: [remembers] Wait, wait, wait. Let, let's go back. Where did you come from?
Mario: Me and my little brother, Luigi, we...we fell down this pipe and now he's lost somewhere in the darklands.
Peach: Then it's only a matter of time until he's captured by Bowser. But you're in luck, I'm on my way to stop him.
Mario: Well, take me with you.
Peach: This guy's a lunatic, a psycho, he will eat you for breakfast. He won't event notice it probably because you're very, very small.
Mario: You know what? Make fun of me all you want. But you are gonna help me find my brother. [short pause] Please?
Peach: [shrugs] Okay, let's see what you're made of. [goes to the balcony]
Mario: Is that a yes?
Peach: No, that's a "Let's see what you're made of."
[After Mario almost completes Peach's 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: [disbelieving] 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.
[The Toad guards play the Level Complete fanfare as Mario and Peach exit the castle to find all Toads cheering for them]
Peach: They're all counting on us. No pressure.
Toads: [cheering] Yeah! [now looking at Mario] Huh?
[Through the crowd, Peach and Mario get to the pipe]
Peach: My Toads, our days of terror are almost over! With the help of the Kong Army, we will stop- [Princess Peach clenches her hands into her fists.]
Blue Toad: Uh, who's he? [points to Mario who nervously chuckles]
Peach: [gapes at him and at the Toads] He's...not important!
[In the answer, the Toads cheer again as Peach and Mario exit through the pipe]
Kamek: [as Bowser is singing "Peaches"] Sire.
Bowser: [growls] What?
Kamek: A report from our intelligence; A mustachioed human has arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom. [Bowser angrily growls; stumbles in fear] The princess has been training him. They are up to something, sire.
Bowser: [calms himself] Sit. Jam with me. [Kamek sits next to Bowser, as he starts playing "Underground Theme" from Super Mario Bros. on his piano] This, uh, human, where did he come from?
Kamek: We aren't sure.
Bowser: Does the princess...like him?
Kamek: Sire, look in the mirror; You have nothing to worry about.
Bowser: I know that. I'm not threatened. [slams cover on Kamek's fingers]
Kamek: Aaaggghhhhh!!!
Bowser: FIND OUT WHO HE IS, AND WHAT THEY'RE PLANNING!! [slams his fist and storms off]
Kamek: [painfully] I'm on it, sire. May I lift the cover?
Bowser: [walking away] Not yet. Pain is the best teacher.
Peach: Thinking about your brother?
Mario: [sadly] We have never been part along.
Peach: Don't worry. We're going to save him. [touches one of the fire flowers; becomes Fire Peach, and uses the fireball to set up a campfire]
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 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] They took me in and raised me like one of their own. And when I was ready... [cut to Peach being crowned as the Toads cheer for her] ...they made me their princess.
[Flashback ends]
Mario: 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: [plucks the strand off, then pulls at more of Luigi's mustache; enraged] 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 his mustache] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Bowser: [tosses him to the ground] Get him outta my sight! We'll see how tough this Mario is when he watches me kill his brother!
Peach: You ready?
Toad: [quietly] What?
[At Cranky Kong's throne]
Cranky Kong: What makes you think you're worthy of fighting alongside the greatest army in the world?
[All the guards tap their weapons to the ground]
Peach: Because we have heart. And with your strength, we can win.
Cranky Kong: Okay, fine.
Peach: That's it?
Cranky Kong: No, that's not it! The answer is No. Good bye!
Peach: If the Mushroom Kingdom falls, the Jungle Kingdom is next.
Mario: We're not leaving without your army.
[Beat]
Cranky Kong: Hahahahaha! Who is this guy? Oh, he makes me laugh. Hahahaha! All right, tough guy, you want my army so badly? Defeat my son in the Great Ring of Kong!
Peach: Give us a second. [to Mario] This is a really, really bad idea!
Mario: Well, do you have another way to save my brother?
Cranky Kong: [pops up from the floor] Are you two done whispering? It's a little rude.
[Donkey Kong enters the Great Ring of Kong; he dances to the DK Rap from "Donkey Kong 64", with the crowd cheering]
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: [dancing] Dad, wave back!
Cranky Kong: Enough with the showboating!
Donkey Kong: What do ya mean?! They like it! It's what they came here for! Dancin' pecs! [flexes his chest]
Cranky Kong: [to crowd] Okay, simmer down! [the crowd still cheers] I said, "Simmer down!" [the crowd stops cheering]
Diddy Kong: D.K.! D.K.! D.K.! D.K.!
Cranky Kong: That means you, Diddy Kong!
Diddy Kong: D.- [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] I don't anything special to break every bone in your tiny body!
Mario: [turned into a cat] Oh, what? I'm a cat?!
Donkey Kong: [laughs] You got the cat box! Oh, my - Ah! Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay. [becomes serious] Now you die. [throws a punch at Cat Mario, who dodges]
Mario: [to himself] Huh. I'm a cat! [counter-attacks]
Mario: [after defeating Donkey Kong] Had enough?
Donkey Kong: [weakly] Not...even...close. [almost falls off the platform]
Mario: [grabs Donkey Kong by his tie] I'll take that as a "Yes."
[Donkey Kong falls, and Mario jumps on him; the Kongs in the crowd cheer and chant "Mario!"]
Toad: Yes! That's my best friend!
[Mario, Peach, Toad, and the Kong Army arrive on Rainbow Road]
Mario: [laughs] Wahoo!
Peach: Is there anything like this in your world?
Mario: [yells] What?
Peach: [louder] IS THERE ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN YOUR WORLD?!
Mario: [laughs] No. We don't drive on rainbows.
Peach: What are you gonna tell me next? That the turtles aren't evil?
Mario: No, no. They're usually pets.
Peach: [amazed] No way.
Mario: Eh, come to Brooklyn, I'll buy you a turtle.
Peach: [giggles] Maybe I will.
Donkey Kong: [rudely interrupts again to annoy Mario] Dude, is this you flirting? This is painful!
Mario: Jeez, I was just trying to be nice!
Donkey Kong: You are so embarrassing! A princess would never go out with you!
Toad: Yes, she would! I guarantee she would!
Peach: Guys, enough!
Donkey Kong: Alright, alright.
Bowser: [practicing his wedding proposal] Princess Peach...here we are. Hehe. I guess love really makes a guy come out of his shell. [his Piranha Plant bouquet snaps, causing him to stomp on them; laughs nervously] Let's rule the world. Together. Forever. Will you marry me?
Kamek: [playing the role of Princess Peach] Oh, yes!
[Koopa General bursts in, clearing his throat]
Bowser and Kamek: [angrily] WHAT?!
Koopa General: We have found the princess and the mustachioed human. He has defeated Donkey Kong and won the Kong Army.
Bowser: So, like, Peach was super impressed?
Koopa General: It appears so, yes. They are heading towards their secret passage.
Bowser: Oh, they think they can surprise me, huh? Two can play at that game.
Peach: NO! No, Mario!
Cranky Kong: [gasps] No! No! [The flying Clown Cars starts snatching him and the Kongs away] Get your clown claws off of me!
Bowser: [cackling] Goodbye, Mario.
Peach: We have to get home.
[From above Rainbow Road, Mario and Donkey Kong are falling]
Donkey Kong: [throws debris] HEY! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!
Mario: My fault?! You're the one who-
Donkey Kong: Stop talking! I don't want the last thing I hear before I die to be your- [he and Mario crash into the ocean. Donkey Kong is knocked unconscious, but Mario manages to bring him up to the surface by pulling him by his tie. A large creature closes its jaws beneath them. They surface]
Donkey Kong: Mario... you saved my life.
Mario: Yeah, well...I won't tell anyone. But I don't know or remember what happened.
Donkey Kong: No, thank you. Good, please don't.
Mario: Okay. [hears bubbling sound from below] Uh...did you just...feel something?
[The Maw-Ray rises up out of the water behind them. Mario and Donkey Kong scream and start swimming away]
Donkey Kong: SWIM!
[The Maw-Ray closes its jaws around them]
Bowser: Princess Peach, brave as ever. [Kamek appears aside him] As you can see, I have the Super Star.
Peach: If you're going to use it, use it now. [points her harpoon at Bowser]
Bowser: No, Princess, I stole this star for us. I guess...love really makes a guy come out of his shell, heh-heh-heh. [beat; to Kamek] I told you that line wouldn't work!
Kamek: You're doing great.
[Inside the Maw-Ray]
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: [furiously throws a tire down, and slams his fists] I...AM...MORE...THAN A GUY...WHO SMASHES THINGS!!!!!
[The Maw-Ray burps; they find the engines of Donkey Kong's racing cart, look at one another, and smile. Cut to them launching themselves out of the Maw-Ray's mouth]
Donkey Kong: Cool raccoon suit.
Tanooki Mario: Really?
Donkey Kong: Not at all.
[As Peach is about to marry Bowser]
Kamek: Ah-he-he-hem. Dearly belov- [Peach punches him] Agh!
Bowser: Huh?
[All Koopas gasp]
Dry Bone: Drama.
Peach: You really thought I'd marry you?
Bowser: Kinda.
Peach: [without missing a beat] I'd never marry a monster. [powers up with Ice Flower, becoming Ice Peach]
Bowser: [enraged] THEN WE ARE BREAKING UP RIGHT NOW!
[They start fighting]
[Tanooki Mario swoops down and catches Luigi before he can drop into the lava]
Luigi: Huh?
Tanooki Mario: Lu!
Luigi: Mario?! [laughs]
Tanooki Mario: I told ya! See? As long as we're together, everything is gonna be okay!
Luigi: [laughs] Mario, why do you look like a bear? What is this?
[Donkey Kong frees Cranky Kong from his cage]
Cranky Kong: Ya did good, kid. Make your pecs dance, you deserve it.
Donkey Kong: No time now, definitely later.
[Bowser, trapped in ice, regains consciousness and sees Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and Donkey Kong together; he breathes fire and sets his head free.]
Bowser: [bellowing] LAUNCH THE BOMBER BILL, AND DESTROY THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM!!!!
[Bomber Bill shoots out of the volcano-like opening in Bowser's Castle and speeds at Peach's Castle]
Peach: No...
[Tanooki Mario flies beside the Bomber Bill, trying to get its attention]
Tanooki Mario: Hey, hey...Hey, over here! [tries hitting the Bomber Bill's side, to no effect. He tries pushing the Bomber Bill's front, but ends up with his back against its tip.] You asked for it! [smacks the Bomber Bill's eye with his tail. The Bomber Bill stops in mid-air, bending the flagpole on top of Peach's Castle, glaring at him] Heh. Hello. [the Bomber Bill chases him through the Mushroom Kingdom. He crashes through a large mushroom] Ow! [gets the Bomber crashing into two more large mushrooms, getting some of the last one in his mouth before spitting it out] Really?! [spots the Warp Pipe that first brought him to the Mushroom Kingdom] Follow me! [starts leading the Bomber Bill to the Warp Pipe] Come on. [gets the Bomber Bill flying straight into the Warp Pipe's direction and speeds up] Little closer. [gets as close as possible to the Warp Pipe without going in it and flies upward at the last second; in slow motion] Mamma mia! [normal speed; Bomber Bill is sucked into the Warp Pipe with great force, but it explodes after floating into the Warp Zone, creating a visible disturbance on the outside of the Mushroom Kingdom's Warp Pipe] Huh?
[The Warp Pipe creates an explosion that throws Tanooki Mario against the wall of Bowser's Castle and powers him down. Mario falls before grabbing onto a ledge of Bowser's Castle. The Warp Pipe pulls Luigi, Peach, Toad, Bowser, and Donkey Kong in. Mario loses his grip on the ledge and is pulled after them]
[In Brooklyn, Mario sees a Star; Bowser gets up and sees Mario close to it]
Bowser: [furiously enraged] MARIO!!!!! [Mario runs to the Star, but Bowser jumps in his way] You want this? [they fight] You ruined my wedding! [throwing things; Mario dodges] I was finally gonna be happy! [throws Mario at the car] Now you will suffer...LIKE ME! [throws a car at Mario, but he dodges and runs. Then Bowser chases Mario and whips him with this tail, sending him flying into Punch-Out! Pizzeria. Then he hides from Bowser] You thought you could stop me? You worthless, weak, little nothing. COME OUT AND FIGHT! Or are you too scared?! [Mario doesn't answer; arrogantly chuckles] Just when I thought.
Mario: Hey! Leave him alone!
Luigi: Mario?
Bowser: [releases Donkey Kong] You just don't know when to quit!
Mario: Yeah, I've been told that before.
[Mario and Luigi defeat Bowser with the Super Star; they, Peach, and Donkey Kong approach Bowser]
Bowser: Peaches. [chuckles nervously] Uh, listen, this is not the way I pictured it, but give me one more chance.
Peach: Ew, no. [brings out the Mini Mushroom]
Bowser: No-no-no-no-no-! [Peach stuffs a Mini Mushroom into Bowser's mouth, causes him to shrink; in a high-pitched voice] Hey! Hey! That is not cool!
Donkey Kong: Ha! He got the Blue Mushroom!
[Toad puts Bowser into a jar]
Mario: See? Told ya I'd get you a pet turtle.
Peach: [giggles] Not bad, mustache. And Luigi, you're so brave.
Luigi: Oh, thanks. [chuckles] Yeah, it's kind of my thing.
[Last lines in mid-credits; Bowser is singing the reprised "Peaches" song in a big bird cage]
Bowser: ♪ Mario, Luigi and a Donkey Kong, too / A thousand troops of Koopas couldn't keep me from you / Princess Peach, at the end of the line / I'll make you mine / Oh, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches / Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches / I love you / Oh- ♪
Toad Guard: Hey! Quiet in there! Lights out, little guy. [taps the bird cage with his weapon]
Bowser: [enraged; in high-pitched voice] HEY! YOU CAN'T TREAT ME LIKE THIS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I AM BOW-!! [The Toad Guard slams the door with screen cuts to black; sighs]
