That guy just stole half of

I HATE this town!
<k> mac_0_066_kur Oh, hi!<wait 250> There you are!
<wait 250>
Professor Frankly!
<k> mac_0_066_01 Whuzzuh???
<k>
<p>
Who's there?<wait 100> Who wants me?
<k> mac_0_067 Ah.<wait 250> Yes.<wait 250> You.<wait 250> Now, you, uh...
<k>
<p>
I've seen your face before...
<wait 250>
Yes, that face...

Wait for it...<wait 250> Just a moment...
<wait 250>
Don't tell me, now! <wait 250>Silence!
<wait 250>
I'll get it right!
<k> mac_0_067_01 Umm...<wait 250> It's not Goombriel...
<k> mac_0_067_02 Errr...<wait 250> It's not Elizagoom...

<k> mac_0_067_05 <dynamic 3>
A-HAAA!</dynamic> I've got it!!!
<k> mac_0_067_06 <dynamic 3>
You're Goombella, aren't you?
</dynamic><wait 250>
You were in my archaeology
class last year, am I right?
<k> mac_0_068_kur Wow, yes, sir! <wait 250>That's me!
<wait 250>
I'm Goombella, a junior at
U Goom!<wait 250> Goooo GOOMBAS!
<k> mac_0_069 Of course I remember you.
<wait 250>
Not to toot my horn, but I'm
pretty good at remembering.
<k>
<p>
You, though... <wait 250>You stick out in
my mind because you were
such an exceptional student.
<k>
<p>
And that guy behind you is...
<k> mac_0_069_01 <dynamic 3>
<scale 2.3>
WHO?!?
<k> mac_0_069_02 Mario! <wait 250>Professor, he's Mario!
<wait 250>
You know...<wait 250>the famous one!
<k> mac_0_069_03 Oh! My apologies.<wait 250> I'm such a
bookworm, I haven't a clue
about what's "hip" right now.
<k>
<p>
In any case, what sort of
errand brings you two all
the way to a place like this?
<k> mac_0_070_kur We were hoping you'd tell us
about the legendary treasure
said to be below Rogueport!
<k>
<p>
I thought that if anyone
knew anything about it, you
would, Professor Frankly...
<k> mac_0_071 Of course I know about it.
<wait 250>
The reason I came here was
to study that very subject.
<k>
<p>
But why do you tykes want
to learn about the legendary
treasure?
<k>
<p>
You know that most say it's
little more than a fairy
tale, don't you?
<k> mac_0_072_kur Archaeologists and historians
have to search for truth in
those fairy tales, though!
<k>
<p>
Me, I believe the legendary
treasure truly does exist!
<wait 250>
And I REALLY want to find it!
<k> mac_0_073 <wait 150>
Good point! <wait 250>And well made!
<wait 250>
In that case, I'll cooperate
with you however I can.
<k>
<p>
First of all, about the
treasure...<dkey><wait 350></dkey> There are many
mysteries surrounding it.
<k> mac_0_073_01 Some say it's an infinitely
vast treasure hoard, while
others say it's a magical item.
<k>
<p>
Some books say it's actually
a monster, while still others
claim it's an empty chest...
<k>
<p>
So many different theories...
<wait 250>
Obviously, it's impossible to
divine the truth among them.
<k>
<p>
...But all agree on one point:
<wait 250>
to find the treasure, one
must have <dkey><wait 350></dkey>the <col c00000ff>Crystal Stars</col>!
<k> mac_0_074_kur "To find the treasure of yore,
take the seven Crystal Stars
to <col c00000ff>the Thousand-Year Door</col>!"
<k>
<p>
...You mean the Crystal Stars
in that old saying that super-
elderly people pass down? 
<k> mac_0_075 Indeed, the same.<wait 250> As the
saying goes, if you want to
find the legendary treasure...
<k>
<p>
You first must collect the
seven Crystal Stars.
<k> mac_0_076_kur "Hold the <col c00000ff>Magical Map</col> aloft
before the entrance to
the Thousand-Year Door.
<k>
<p>
"Then the stars will light the
way that leads to the stones
of yesterday." <wait 250>Yeah...
<k>
<p>
A lot of the lore I've read
says that if this Magical Map
is taken to the doorway...
<k>
<p>
...then it'll show you where
to find the Crystal Stars!
<k> mac_0_077 <dynamic 3>
Correct!</dynamic><wait 300> And the Thousand-
Year Door is supposedly here,
deep beneath this town.
<k>
<p>
Yet the critical piece of the
puzzle--the Magical Map--is
lost.<wait 300> If only we had that map!
<k> mac_0_078_kur But we DO have it, Professor!
<wait 500>
Or... <wait 250>Well, not "we," exactly...
<wait 250>
MARIO has the Magical Map!

<k>
<p>
You...<wait 250> You actually have it?
<wait 250>
Could I...<wait 250>just take a quick look
at it, if you don't mind?
<k> mac_0_080 <dynamic 3>
Astounding! <wait 250>This is it!
<wait 250>
The real thing! <wait 250>The one and
only Magical Map!
<k> mac_0_081 <dynamic 3>You, son, are my HERO!
<wait 250>
You're great!<wait 250> Fantastic!
<wait 250>
WONDERFUL, even! 
</dynamic 3>
<k>
<p>
With this...
<k>
<p>
We can find the Crystal Stars
just by holding this aloft
before the legendary door!
<k> mac_0_081_01_kur Right on, Professor!
<k> mac_0_082 Good golly, what are we doing
just sitting here, then?!?
<wait 250>
Goombella!<wait 250> Mario!
<k>
<p>
<dynamic 3>
Off we must go, this instant!
</dynamic>
<wait 250>
Let's take the Magical Map
to the legendary door!
<k> mac_0_083 I bet you didn't know this
rotten old thing came off,
did you? <wait 250>Heh heh!
<k> mac_0_084 We can use this pipe to get
down under the city streets!
<k>
<p>
Come on! <wait 250>Both of you!
<wait 250>
Let's get moving!
<k> mac_0_084_01 Oh, wait, hang on a second...
<wait 300>
Mario! <wait 250>Something just
occurred to me.
<k> mac_0_084_02 I'm fairly certain there are
quite a few hoodlums below.
<wait 250>
So, uh...<wait 250>keep your guard up.
<k>
<p>
You two do know about your
<col c00000ff>Action Commands</col>, don't you?
<o> mac_0_084_02_yesno <select 1 1 0 40>
Of course!
Nope. mac_0_084_03 <p>
Really? <wait 250>A master, are you?
<wait 250>
Maybe you ought to practice
them once, just to be safe?
<o> mac_0_084_03_yesno <select 0 1 0 40>
OK, fine.
No thanks, I'm good. mac_0_084_04 <p>
A bold young lad, aren't you!
<wait 250>
Very well, then!<wait 250> Down we go!
<k>
<p>
Just stand on the pipe and
tilt <icon STICK 0.6 -30 45 -10> <col c00000ff>Down</col> to enter it.
<k> mac_0_084_05 <p>
Hmmph!<wait 250> Positively shocking! 
<wait 250>
In that case, you ought to
take a second to learn them.
<k>
<p>
We'll have a little practice
session. <wait 250>Goombella,<wait 250> you can
be Mario's opponent.
<k> mac_0_084_06 What?!?<wait 100> Me? <wait 250>Are you nuts?!?
<k>
<p>
<wait 250>
Oh, gee, ummmmmm... <wait 250>Uh,<wait 100> OK.
<wait 250>
I'll do my best, I guess!
<k> mac_0_b_t2_000 First, we'll practice the Jump
Action Command.<wait 250> That OK
with the both of you?
<k>
<p>
Choose the Jump command,
then choose which enemy
you'll attack.
<k> mac_0_b_t2_001 When you choose your target,
the Action Command details
appear down below, there.
<k> mac_0_b_t2_002 There! <wait 250>Right there, Mario!
<wait 250>
Just before you land on your
enemy, press <icon PAD_A 0.6 -20 34 -10> again.
<o> mac_0_b_t2_003 You'll know you did it right
when "NICE" appears.<wait 250> You can
do more damage this way!
<k> mac_0_b_t2_004 Now it's your turn to attack,
Goombella. <wait 250>Shake a leg!
<k> mac_0_b_t2_005 OK...<wait 250> Here goes, Mario!
<k> mac_0_b_t2_006 Hold up! <wait 250>Right there, Mario!
<wait 250>
Press <icon PAD_A 0.6 -20 34 -10> just before your enemy
strikes you.
<o> mac_0_b_t2_007 You did a <col c00000ff>Guard</col> Action
Command!<wait 250> Guarding well will
reduce the damage you take!
<k>
<p>
But listen: you can't just
repeatedly tap <icon PAD_A 0.6 -20 34 -10> to guard.
That...<wait 250>will not work.
<k>
<p>
Oh, and remember this:<wait 250> the
Action Commands change
depending on the attack.
<k>
<p>
Better stay on your toes!
<wait 250>
Anyway, next let's practice
Hammer Action Commands.
<k> mac_0_b_t2_008 Once you choose the enemy
you're going to attack, Mario,
<wait 250>
tilt and hold <icon STICK 0.6 -30 45 -10> Left.
<o> mac_0_b_t2_009 Keep holding <icon STICK 0.6 -30 45 -10> Left, now!
<wait 250>
Don't let go!
<o>
 mac_0_b_t2_010 Release <icon STICK 0.6 -30 45 -10> as soon as the <icon AC_ON 0.6 -20 34 -10> 
lights up.
<wait 250>
<o> mac_0_b_t2_011 Another rousing Action
Command success!
<k>
<p>
How did that feel, Mario?
<wait 250>
Got a pretty good grasp on
Action Commands now?
<k> mac_0_b_t2_012 Excellent. <wait 250>Now for a real
treat: I'll teach you a
really incredible technique!
<k>
<p>
Goombella,<wait 250> try to attack
Mario one more time.
<k> mac_0_b_t2_013 You got it, Professor!
<k> mac_0_b_t2_014 Freeze right there, Mario!
<wait 250>
This time, press <icon PAD_B 0.6 -20 34 -10> just before
the enemy attack lands.
<o> mac_0_b_t2_015 <small><scale 0.67>
Yeeeowch!
<wait 500> mac_0_b_t2_016 See? <wait 250>You turned the foe's
attack back on him!<wait 100> I mean,
her!<wait 250> That's a <col c00000ff>Superguard</col>!
<k>
<p>
If you do a Superguard with <icon PAD_B 0.6 -20 34 -10>,
you take no damage...<wait 250>AND
damage your enemy in return.
<k>
<p>
But...<wait 250>Superguards are harder
to do than standard <icon PAD_A 0.6 -20 34 -10> guards.
<wait 250>
Choose wisely between them.
<k> mac_0_b_t2_017 And that concludes Action
Commands 101!<wait 150> Har har har!
<wait 150>
Sorry... <wait 250>Professorial humor.
<k>
<p>
How'd that go over? <wait 100>Would
you like to practice your
Action Commands a bit more?
<o> mac_0_b_t2_018 <select 0 1 0 40>
Yeah.
Nope, got it! mac_0_b_t2_019 <p>
Smart move. <wait 250>It takes hard
work to fully master all the
different Action Commands.
<k>
<p>
Whenever you want to quit
practicing, just choose the
Quit command.
<k> mac_0_b_t2_020 <p>
I expected nothing less,
Mario!<wait 250> You're a quick learner!
<wait 250>
You're already a pro, I'm sure!
<k> mac_0_b_t2_021 Nicely done, Mario!
<wait 250>
Excellent Action Command!
<wait 250>
That was perfect timing!
<k> mac_0_b_t2_022 Oh!<wait 250> That was so close, Mario!
<wait 250>
You were just a little early
that time.
<k> mac_0_b_t2_023 Oh! <wait 250>That was so close, Mario!
<wait 250>
Your timing was just a little
late! <wait 250>Almost, though!
<k> mac_0_b_t2_024 OK.<wait 250> Maybe we should stop
practicing for now.
<k> mac_0_084_07 Well, I do believe now we're
all set for our quest, hmm?
<wait 250>
So down below we go!
<k>
<p>
Hop up onto the pipe and tilt
<icon STICK 0.6 -30 45 -10> <col c00000ff>Down</col> to enter the pipe.
<k> mac_0_085 Come now!<wait 250> I simply can't wait!
<wait 250>
Let's go down underground!
<wait 250>
Quickly, now!
<k>
<p>
Hop up onto the pipe and tilt
<icon STICK 0.6 -30 45 -10> Down to go into it.
<k> mac_0_102 Hrmmm...<wait 250> Aha! I see!
<k> mac_0_103_kur You understand it, Professor?
<k> mac_0_103_01 My dear, of course I do!
<wait 250>
Firstly, about that light we
saw shining on Mario...
<k>
<p>
By my reckoning, Mario can
now perform what is known as
a <col c00000ff>special move</col>.
<k> mac_0_103_02_kur A special move?
<k> mac_0_103_03 Yes, it... <wait 100>Well...<wait 250> Stuff like this
is better explained by
example rather than words.
<k>
<p>
Would you like to try it out?
<o> mac_0_103_03_yesno <select 0 1 0 40>
Sure thing.
No thanks. mac_0_103_04 <p>
This is VERY important.
<wait 250>
You'd better listen.<wait 250> I mean it.
<wait 250>
Are you ready to listen?
<o> mac_0_103_05 <p>
Excellent!<wait 250> In that case, we'll
go outside, since this place
is a little cramped.
<k> mac_0_b_t3_000 First, take a close look at
your Star Power gauge.
<k> mac_0_b_t3_001 You'll see that your gauge
has one power dot.<wait 250> Obviously
that's a single unit of power.
<k>
<p>
So you're sitting on a
single dot of Star Power.
<wait 250>
With me so far?
<k>
<p>
When you have Star Power
available, you can use a
special move.
<k>
<p>
Try using Sweet Treat now.
<wait 250>
It's a special move that will
replenish your HP and FP.
<k> mac_0_b_t3_002 Machi #294 mac_0_b_t3_003 Since you used one power
dot, the Star Power gauge
is now empty.<wait 250> Take a look.
<k> mac_0_b_t3_004 Even if the gauge empties
out, though, you can still
charge it up again.
<k>
<p>
That's why the audience
watching your battles is so
very important.
<k> mac_0_b_t3_005 If you can get the audience
excited, you'll build up more
Star Power.
<k>
<p>
Let me show you what I
mean.<wait 250> Mario,<wait 100> Goombella...
<wait 250>
Try to attack me, please.
<k> mac_0_b_t3_006 Nice! <wait 250>See that?<wait 250> You thrilled
your audience, so they filled
up some of your gauge.
<k> mac_0_b_t3_007 Nice! <wait 250>Keep building up that
Star Power.
<k>
<p>
Also, the more exciting your
battles are, the more people
will come to watch you fight!
<k>
<p>
As you can see, that's
reflected in the number of
members in this audience.
<k> mac_0_b_t3_008 That won't do.<wait 250> Perform like
that and the audience will
feel ripped off, trust me.
<k>
<p>
You have to execute your
Action Commands! <wait 250>Don't get
stage fright, now!
<k> mac_0_b_t3_009 That's no good!<wait 250> Come on!
<k>
<p>
If you don't perform your
Action Commands, people will
stop coming to see you.
<k> mac_0_b_t3_010 Not quite!<wait 250> Keep trying!
<k> mac_0_b_t3_011 Mario! <wait 250>This is your chance
to hit it big!
<k> mac_0_b_t3_012 Nail an Action Command when
you have two matching icons
and icon wheels appear.
<k>
<p>
Give it a try!
<k> mac_0_b_t3_013 Fantastic!<wait 250> You matched
three icons!
<k>
<p>
When you match those icons,
the crowd goes nuts and
people swarm the theater.
<k>
<p>
Plus, depending on the icons
you match up, your HP, FP, or
Star Power will fill up.
<k>
<p>
But...<wait 250>if you get three Poison
Mushrooms, something terrible
will happen, so be careful.
<k> mac_0_b_t3_014 Still with me?<wait 250> The more
people in your audience, the
more Star Power you can get.
<k>
<p>
You can also use the <col c00000ff>Appeal</col> 
command to get Star Power.
<wait 250>
I hope you memorized all this!
<k> mac_0_b_t3_014_1 Great Goomba's ghost!<wait 250> Mario!
<wait 250>
Look at your audience!
<k> mac_0_b_t3_014_2 Does that guy have a...
<wait 250>
hammer? <wait 250>He DOES, the bum!
<wait 250>
He means to toss it at you!
<k> mac_0_b_t3_014_3 If the audience members hit
you with anything, you'll
take damage, obviously.
<k>
<p>
You have to press <icon PAD_X_ON 0.5 -20 35 -10> to stop
them before they hit you.
<o> mac_0_b_t3_014_4 That's right! <wait 100>Sweet justice!
<k>
<p>
You can press <icon PAD_X_ON 0.5 -20 35 -10> to protect
yourself from the objects the
audience throws at you.
<k>
<p>
Of course, fans of yours might
toss good stuff, like coins...
<wait 250>
Don't attack them!
<k> mac_0_b_t3_015 Well, that's all I've got!
<wait 250>
Here ends my scintillating
lecture on special moves.
<k>
<p>
Let's go back inside.
<k> mac_0_103_06 <p>
Hmm... <wait 250>You're absolutely sure?
<wait 250>
Well, all right, then.
<k>
<p>
Let's have a look at that
Magical Map and see what
we can learn about the...
<k>
<p>
<dynamic 3>
WOW! <wait 250>ASTOUNDING!
</dynamic>
<k>
<p>
This map has radar-like
functions! <wait 250>It now shows the
location of a Crystal Star!
<k>
<p>
It looks like the first Crystal
Star is to be found in a place
called the <col c00000ff>Petal Meadows</col>.
<k> mac_0_104 Let's have a look at that

<k>
<p>
It looks like the first Crystal

called the <col c00000ff>Petal Meadows</col>.
<k> mac_0_105_kur Petal Meadows?
<k> mac_0_106 Yes. <wait 250>The area is a vast
meadow that lies far to the
east of Rogueport.
<k>
<p>
To tell you the truth...
<wait 250>
I've always thought that
place was a tad suspicious.
<k>
<p>
The name Petal Meadows did
come up from time to time in
my research.
<k> mac_0_107_kur OK, fine.<wait 100> So we'll go there.
<wait 250>
Does anybody know how to
get there or what?
<k> mac_0_108 I'm fairly certain that
somewhere beneath the city
is a pipe to Petal Meadows.
<k>
<p>
If you could just find that,
you'd get there instantly.
<wait 250>
Pipe travel's efficient!
<k> mac_0_109 Say, by the way, Mario...
<wait 250>
I'm curious. <wait 100>Where did you
get that map, anyway?
<k> mac_0_110 From Princess Peach?<wait 100> Really?
<wait 250>
Her Highness sent this to
you, Mario?
<k>
<p>
This Princess Peach...
<wait 250>
This wouldn't be
her, would it? <anim c_peach P_Z_1 350 55 3.0 0>
<k> mac_0_111 <dynamic 3>
<scale 2.5>
So it IS her!
</scale>
</dynamic>
<k>
<p>
Your princess came to see me
the other day.<wait 250> She wanted
to learn about the treasure...
<k>
<p>
I told her about the Crystal
Stars and my suspicions
about Petal Meadows...
<k>
<p>
It doesn't seem likely, but
perhaps she tried to go to
Petal Meadows on her own...
<k> mac_0_112_kur Y'know, Professor, there
was another suspicious group
asking about the same thing.
<k> mac_0_113 <wave>Hrmm...</wave><wait 250> But I can't imagine
Princess Peach getting
involved with THEM...
<k> mac_0_114 <dynamic 3>
All right! It's settled!
</dynamic>
<wait 250>
Off to Petal Meadows you
two go!
<k>
<p>
If Princess Peach indeed
went there, your first priority
must be to catch up to her.
<k>
<p>
Collecting the Crystal Stars is
a means to an end...<wait 100>and that
end is Princess Peach!
<k> mac_0_117_kur Aren't you coming, Professor?
<k> mac_0_118 No, I'll stay in town and ask
around about Princess Peach
and that suspicious gang.
<k>
<p>
Besides, I doubt a shriveled
old Goomba like me could
handle the trials of the road.
<k>
<p>
Of course, if anything
happens and you need some
advice, come see me, OK?
<k> mac_0_119_kur You got it, Professor!
<k> mac_0_120_kur Well, Mario, <wait 250>we're off!
<k> mac_0_121_01 <dynamic 3>
Wait just a moment!
<k> mac_0_121_02 Mario, it's scary out there. 
<wait 250>
Take this with you.
<k>
<p>
It's called a <col c00000ff>badge</col>, and it
is incredibly helpful.
<k>
<p>
You see, depending on the
badges you have equipped,
you'll get much more powerful.
<k>
<p>
What's important is knowing
what the effects will be when
you first equip a badge.
<k>
<p>
Would you like to practice
equipping and removing
badges?
<o> mac_0_121_02_yesno <select 0 1 0 40>
Yes, please.
No, thanks. mac_0_121_03 <p>

Well, here's hoping you find

<k> mac_1_000 Oh! Galloping Goombas!
<wait 250>
You got a Crystal Star!!!
<k>
<p>
<dynamic 3>Magnificent</dynamic>, Mario!
<wait 250>
I knew you could do it.
<k>
<p>
First you must take that
down to the Thousand-Year
Door.<wait 250> Then we'll talk.
<k> mac_1_004 Hrmm...<wait 250> Mmmm HRRRRMMMM...
<k> mac_1_005 I see, I see. <wait 250>Crystal clear!
<k> mac_1_006_kur Yeah, great pun. <wait 100>C'mon!
Where's the next Crystal
Star, Professor?
<k> mac_1_006_nok Um... <wait 100>So, can you tell us
where the next Crystal Star
is or not?
<k> mac_1_007 It's in the Boggly Woods.
<wait 250>
The second Crystal Star is
inside a great tree there.
<k> mac_1_008_kur A great tree in the Boggly
Woods? <wait 100>OK...
<k> mac_1_008_nok A great tree in the Boggly
Woods, huh?
<k> mac_1_009 About those woods...
<wait 250>
I think...<wait 250>some odd
creatures live there.<anim c_puni Z_1 350 50 6.0 0> 
<k>
<p>
If memory serves, there's a
pipe beneath town that leads
to those woods.
<k> mac_1_010_kur By the way, Professor...
<wait 250>
About Princess Peach...
<k>
<p>
Not long ago, Mario received
an e-mail from her.
<k>
<p>
It said that the people who
kidnapped her are also
looking for the Crystal Stars.
<k>
<p>
Oh, and the worst part?
<wait 250>
She said that she doesn't
even know where she is!
<k> mac_1_010_nok Um... Professor Frankly...
<wait 250>
You should probably know...
<wait 250>
It's about Princess Peach...
<k>
<p>
Mr. Mario got an e-mail
from her just recently.
<k>
<p>
Her Highness said that the
guys who kidnapped her are
also hunting Crystal Stars.
<k>
<p>
Oh, and she said she doesn't
even know where she's being
held. <wait 250>...Yeah.
<k> mac_1_010_01 Uh-oh. If Princess Peach's
kidnappers are also looking
for the Crystal Stars...
<k>
<p>
What could they hope to
achieve?<wait 250> Could the treasure
be...<wait 250> Ugh! Too many unknowns!
<k>
<p>
Unfortunately, the only clues
we can rely on are the
Crystal Stars and that map.
<k> mac_1_010_02_kur Then we'll head for Boggly
Woods to find the next
Crystal Star! <wait 100>Let's do it!
<k> mac_1_010_02_nok Um...<wait 100> I guess all we can do is
head to Boggly Woods to find
that next Crystal Star!
<k> mac_1_010_03 Yes, I recommend you do just
that.<wait 250> And find it before the
princess's captors do!
<k>
<p>
But don't be hasty!<wait 100> If you're
low on items or health, drop
by the shop and inn first.
<k>
<p>
I'll keep researching to learn
more about the Crystal Stars
and the ancient treasure.
<k> mac_2_000 Oh!<wait 250> So you managed to get
the Crystal Star from Boggly
Woods without much trouble?
<k>
<p>
Well, I've learned several
vital things, but first, go to
the Thousand-Year Door.
<k> mac_2_002_01 ...That means that beneath
this town, the thousand-year-
old ruins remain intact.
<k> mac_2_002_02 And that door's been sealed
shut for a thousand years
by the Crystal Stars...
<k>
<p>
In order to open that seal,
we have to muster the power
of all the Crystal Stars.
<k> mac_2_002_03_kur But the question is, why did
they seal the legendary
treasure away to begin with?
<k>
<p>
I mean, were they just trying
to keep it from being stolen,
or what?
<k> mac_2_002_03_nok But, um... <wait 100>Why would they
need to seal the treasure
away in the first place?
<k>
<p>
You think maybe they just
wanted to protect it from
thieves and robbers?
<k> mac_2_002_03_win Perhaps I'm just daft, but
why would they want to seal
this treasure away at all?
<k>
<p>
Did they fear thieves and
brigands? <wait 100>If not, then what?
<k> mac_2_002_04 No, that's not...
<k> mac_2_002_05_kur ...What? <wait 100>That's not WHAT?
<k> mac_2_002_05_nok That's not what?
<k> mac_2_002_05_win Hm? <wait 100>That's not what?
<k> mac_2_002_06 <dynamic 3><scale 2.2>
I don't KNOW!
<k> mac_2_002_07_kur Sheesh, Professor...
<k> mac_2_002_07_nok Whoa, Professor Frankly!
<k> mac_2_002_07_win Frankly, please!
<k> mac_2_002 I'm sorry.<wait 250> So sorry!
<k>
<p>
I know that the treasure was
sealed away around the time
the town was destroyed...
<k>
<p>
But the problem is... <wait 100>No one's
even sure what it was that
caused the town's demise.
<k>
<p>
All that's written is this:
<wait 100>
"Darkness stole the sky and
the cataclysm rained down."
<k>
<p>
I must research this more.
<wait 250>
Assuming will just make an...
<wait 250>
Well, you know the saying.
<k> mac_2_003_kur No, I don't, but whatever.
<wait 250>
<k>
<p>
How about this next Crystal
Star, then? <wait 100>It's like it's
floating on the Magical Map...
<k> mac_2_003_nok Oh, yeah, right...
<wait 250>
<k>
<p>
Anyway, what about the next
Crystal Star? <wait 100>It looks like
it's floating on that map!
<k> mac_2_003_win Oh, yes.<wait 400> How inappropriate.
<wait 250>
<k>
<p>
In any case, what about the
location of this Crystal Star
that's floating on the map?
<k> mac_2_004 Hmm... Very interesting...
<wait 250>
Perhaps it's pointing to the
floating town of <col c00000ff>Glitzville</col>...
<k>
<p>
There's a stunning arena
there where great warriors
engage in furious battles!
<k>
<p>
Ostensibly, families go there
on vacation to lounge and
enjoy the fights, but...
<k>
<p>
Behind the scenes, the
richest people in the world
wager on the bouts.
<k> mac_2_005_kur It's, like...floating?
<k>
<p>
Well, how are we supposed to
get there, then?
<k> mac_2_005_nok Um... <wait 100>If it's a floating city...
<k>
<p>
How the heck are we
supposed to get there?
<k> mac_2_005_win A floating city, you say?
<k>
<p>
So, are we just supposed to
sprout wings and fly there,
darling?<wait 250> Do tell.
<k> mac_2_006 A special blimp flies there...
<wait 250>
It departs from Rogueport
several times a day.
<k>
<p>
The problem is getting a seat.
<wait 250>
The only way to get a ticket
is through certain "channels"...
<k> mac_2_007_kur What?<wait 100> What "channels"?
<wait 100>
Stop being mysterious!<wait 100> How
do we get seats on the ship?
<k> mac_2_007_nok Well, that doesn't sound hard.
<wait 250>
Anyone can use these
"channels," right? <wait 400>Right?
<k> mac_2_007_win Oooh! <wait 100>That sounds exciting!
<wait 100>
A little...on the seedy side.
<wait 100>
Show me the way!
<k> mac_2_008 Hrmmmmmmm... <wait 100>I don't know...
<wait 100>
But I guess we don't have
much choice.
<k>
<p>
Word on the street is, all
tickets go through Don
Pianta on the west side.
<k> mac_2_009 Head west from Rogueport's
main plaza and you'll reach
the west side of town.
<k>
<p>
That part of town is under
the control of Don Pianta,
the Pianta syndicate head.
<k>
<p>
Apparently, Don Pianta
makes pretty regular jaunts
over to Glitzville.
<k> mac_2_010_kur So, no problem!<wait 100> We'll just go
meet this Don Pianta guy,
and we'll be on our way!
<k> mac_2_010_nok Well, hey, that sounds easy!
<wait 250>
We just have to talk to this
Don Pianta person.
<k> mac_2_010_win Mmmm... <wait 100>I like the sound of
this Don Pianta fellow. <wait 100>I
cannot WAIT to meet him!
<k> mac_2_011 It may sound easy, but he's
a syndicate boss, folks.<wait 100> The
rumors about him are scary.
<k>
<p>
And Don Pianta is a recluse.
<wait 250>
Just getting an audience
with him will be difficult.
<k> mac_2_012 You want somethin', chump?
<wait 250>
This is the fortress of the
Robbo Thieves.<wait 100> You lost?
<k>
<p>
What business brings a chump
like you to a place like this?
<wait 100>
Say it ain't vacation.
<k> mac_2_013 Whazzat?
<k>
<p>
You wanna meet that lyin',
cheatin', stealin', no-good
jerky-for-brains, Don Pianta?
<k> mac_2_014 Real thieves like us end up
poor as dirt, never catchin'
a break 'cause of that guy.
<k>
<p>
Did you come here knowin'
all that?
<k> mac_2_015 And you know that scumbag
demands protection money
from us too, yeah?
<k>
<p>
You know all that and you
STILL want us to tell you how
you can meet that crumb?
<k> mac_2_016 What?<wait 250> You gotta be kiddin'

Clearly there's much to talk

<k> mac_3_001_01 <scale 2.5><dynamic 3><shake>
WHAAAT???
<k> mac_3_001_02 The group that kidnapped
Princess Peach is bent on

<k> mac_3_001_03_kur It sure sounds like it!
<wait 250>
That must be why they need

<k> mac_3_001_03_nok Yes, sir!<wait 250> And we figure that
would be why they need the
ancient treasure.
<k> mac_3_001_03_win Correct, dearie.<wait 250> And that,
you see, is why they need
that legendary treasure...
<k> mac_3_001_03_yos Uh-huh! <wait 100>You got THAT right!
<wait 250>
That's why those jerks need
that legendary treasure!
<k> mac_3_001_04 Hrmm...<wait 100> This doesn't bode well.
<wait 250>
The situation has gotten far
more serious than I thought!
<k> mac_3_001_05 Let me bring you up to speed.
<wait 250>
I've been researching just
what this treasure could be...
<k>
<p>
One book I came across held
to what I thought was a
preposterous theory...
<k>
<p>
This book claimed that the
"treasure" was, in actuality,
the great cataclysm.
<k>
<p>
...The very cataclysm that, a
thousand years ago, sank
that town underground!
<k> mac_3_001_06_kur Wait a sec'! <wait 250>So they wanna
use that cataclysm's power
to take over the world?!?
<k> mac_3_001_06_nok S-So those guys want to use
the power of that...<wait 100>ulp...
<wait 100>
cataclysm to rule the world?
<k> mac_3_001_06_win So these fiends plan to use
the power of the cataclysm
to control the world?
<k> mac_3_001_06_yos So these jerks think the
power of that cataclysm will
help them rule the world?!?
<k> mac_3_001_07 I can't say for sure what
they will do or why, but we
must consider the possibility.
<k>
<p>
Now that things have come
to this, we mustn't let them
near the legendary treasure.
<k>
<p>
That's all that matters.
<wait 100>
Because if they do get it,
then once again, this town...
<k>
<p>
No...<wait 100>the ENTIRE WORLD could
be destroyed!
<k> mac_3_001_07_kur Oh my GOSH, Professor!

I have heard that, as the
name implies, it's perpetually
dim and eerie there.
<k>
<p>
...Wait just a moment...
<k> mac_3_005 Ah-HA!<wait 250> There appears to be
a pipe to Twilight Town
somewhere here in Rogueport.
<k>
<p>
I do believe it's somewhere
underneath the west part of
town.<wait 250> Yes, definitely.
<k>
<p>
If you get stuck for any
reason, just come back and
see me again, OK?
<k> mac_3_006_kur Beneath the west part of
town! <wait 100>Gotcha! We're on it!
<wait 250>
Thanks, Professor.
<k>
<p>
Wooo! <wait 250>All right, Mario!
<wait 250>
Let's do it!
<k> mac_3_006_nok The west part of town?
<wait 100>
Underground? <wait 100>Okeydokey!
<wait 250>
Thank you, Professor!
<k>
<p>
Well, Mario...<wait 250> I guess we should
leave posthaste!
<k> mac_3_006_win Below the western part of
town? <wait 100>Very well, then!
<wait 250>
Cheers, Frankly! <icon HM 0.6 -20 31 0> 
<k>
<p>
Come along now, Mario!
<wait 250>
We go at once!
<k> mac_3_006_yos Under the ground in the west
part of the town?<wait 100> Check!
<wait 250>
Gotcha, Prof!
<k>
<p>
C'mon, Gonzales! <wait 100>Let's go!
<wait 250>
Time to break out!
<k> mac_3_007_kur Professor!<wait 250> We found the pipe
and tried to go through, but
we got pushed back out!
<k> mac_3_007_nok Ummmmm...<wait 100> Hey, Professor?
<wait 250>
We tried going into that pipe,
but we got spat back out...
<k> mac_3_007_win Frankly!<wait 250> We went into that
blasted pipe, but something
pushed us right back out!
<k> mac_3_007_yos Hey, Prof!<wait 250> The pipe's a no-go!
<wait 100>
We went in, but we got
pushed right back out!
<k> mac_3_008_kur Professor!<wait 250> We found the pipe
that leads to Twilight Town...
<k>
<p>
...But it totally didn't work!
<wait 100>
It just pushes you right back
out!<wait 250> We can't get through.
<k> mac_3_008_nok Umm, Professor...<wait 250> We found
the pipe to Twilight Town...
<k>
<p>
But I don't think it works.
<wait 100>
The thing just rejects us.
<wait 250>
There's no way through it.
<k> mac_3_008_win Frankly!<wait 250> We found the pipe
you said would take us to
Twilight Town...
<k>
<p>
...But it doesn't work, darling.
<wait 100>
It just pushed us back out.
<wait 250>
Can't you do something?
<k> mac_3_008_yos Yo, Prof!<wait 250> We found your
pipe, and that thing's all
stopped up!
<k>
<p>
We tried and tried, but we
can't break through it!
<wait 250>
Got any drain cleaner?
<k> mac_3_009 What?<wait 250> You can't get through
the pipe, you say? <wait 100>How odd...
<k>
<p>
Hrmm...<wait 250> I'm afraid I haven't 
the foggiest idea of what you
should do.
<k> mac_3_010 Oh!<wait 250> Of course!
<k>
<p>
I've heard that a fellow from
Twilight Town lives here in
Rogueport.
<k>
<p>
If anybody knows how to get
through the pipe, it'll be him.
<k>
<p>
His name was, uh...<wait 250> Dang.
<wait 250>
What was it?
<k>
<p>
Ah, yes! <wait 100>The lover of dark
places! <wait 250><col c00000ff>DARKLY</col>!
<k>
<p>
I've seen him loitering right
here in this part of town in
the past.<wait 250> Look for Darkly!
<k> mac_3_011 Hi there! <wait 100>The name's Darkly.
<wait 250>
Do you guys need something?
<k> mac_3_012 Huh?<wait 250> You want to know how
to get through the pipe to
Twilight Town?
<k> mac_3_013 Couldn't be easier!<wait 250> You just
need to have something that
has your name written on it.
<k>
<p>
Don't you have anything<wait 250> that
has your name written on
it? <wait 250>C'mon, everyone does!
<k> mac_3_014 No?<wait 250> Really?<wait 250> OK. Hang on.
<wait 250>
I'll write it for you.
<wait 250>
What's your name?
<k> mac_3_015 Mario, huh?<wait 250> OK... <wait 100>I'll write it
here on the seat of your
overalls.<wait 250> M-A-R-I-O, right?
<k> mac_3_016 There!<wait 100> Perfect-a-mundo!
<wait 250>
While I'm at it, I'll write
your partner's name, too.
<k>
<p>
What's your name?
<k> mac_3_017_kur Goombella!
<k> mac_3_017_nok Um... <wait 250>K-Koops.
<k> mac_3_017_win Depends on who's asking!
<wait 100>
For you, I am Flurrie. <icon HM 0.6 -20 31 0>
<k> mac_3_017_yos %s, baby!
<k> mac_3_018_kur <wave>
Tee hee!<wait 250> That TICKLES!
<k> mac_3_018_nok <wave>
H-Hey!<wait 250> Think you could ease
up on jabbing me, Pokey?
<k> mac_3_018_win <wave>
Mmmm...<wait 250> A bit to the left... <icon HM 0.6 -20 31 0>
<k> mac_3_018_yos <wave>
Hey!<wait 250> Watch where you're
drawing, buddy!
<k> mac_3_019 I don't know what errand is
taking you to Twilight Town,
but I hope it goes well.
<k>
<p>
I'll be rooting for you!
<k> mac_4_000 What?<wait 250> Another terrifying
e-mail from Princess Peach?
<wait 250>
Are you sure it wasn't spam?
<k>
<p>
Hrmm...<wait 250> I've confirmed some
rather stunning things, too...
<wait 250>
To say the least...
<k>
<p>
Before we speak, though,
<wait 250>
take the Crystal Star to the
Thousand-Year Door, OK?
<k> mac_4_001_01 <dynamic 3>
<shake>

Whuh-Whuh-<wait 150>WHAAAAAAT?!?
<k> mac_4_001_02 <dynamic 3>
Th-That was written in
Princess Peach's e-mail?
</dynamic>
<k>
<p>
The legendary treasure is
actually the spirit of an
ancient demon...
<k>
<p>
And those fiends want to use
the power of the Crystal
Stars to resurrect it?
<k>
<p>
<wait 250>
How bone-chilling...<wait 250> Sadly, it
DOES seem to be consistent
with what I've uncovered...
<k> mac_4_001_03_kur Don't leave us in suspense!
<wait 250>
Give us the scoop, Professor!
<k> mac_4_001_03_nok Ummm... <wait 100>Well, will you tell us,
or what, Professor Frankly?
<k> mac_4_001_03_win Pray tell, what information
have you uncovered, Frankly?
<k> mac_4_001_03_yos Well, c'mon, give it up, Prof!
<wait 250>
What did you find out!
<k> mac_4_001_03_viv What have you found out,
Professor?
<k> mac_4_001_03_chu Well, we're waiting, Professor.
<wait 100>
What did you find out?
<k> mac_4_001_04 Hrmm...<wait 250> This is rather long,
so you'd best listen well.
<k> mac_4_001_05 <dynamic 3>
Are all of you ready?
<wait 250>
And you there! <wait 250>In front of
the TV! <wait 250>You listen up, too!
<k> mac_4_001_06_kur TV?<wait 100> You don't have a TV!
<wait 250>
What in the world are you
talking about?
<k> mac_4_001_06_nok Ummm... <wait 100>Who are you talking
to, sir?
<k> mac_4_001_06_win I declare, you've gone batty.
<wait 250>
What TV? <wait 100>To whom are you
speaking, Frankly?
<k> mac_4_001_06_yos Did someone pile-drive your
head, or what? <wait 100>I don't see
any TV here, nutjob!
<k> mac_4_001_06_viv Maybe I'm missing something...
<wait 100>
Are you talking to no one?
<k> mac_4_001_06_chu You strange, strange man.
<wait 250>
What did THAT mean?
<k> mac_4_001_07 <dynamic 3>
OH, NEVER YOU MIND!
</dynamic><wait 250>
Don't worry about such trivial
details.<wait 100> Just listen!
<k> mac_4_001_08 The great cataclysm that I
read about in that book may
well refer to this demon...
<k>
<p>
It says that a monster
destroyed a large town that
once stood on this very area.
<k>
<p>
It ALSO says that the seven
Crystal Stars were actually
CREATED by this monster...
<k>
<p>
AND that this thing used the
power of the Crystal Stars
to try to control the world...
<k> mac_4_001_09 According to this book, the
demon was defeated in the
end by four heroes.
<k>
<p>
But only the beast's physical
form was destroyed...<wait 250> Its spirit
could not be eradicated.
<k>
<p>
So, the heroes used the
Crystal Stars, which they
had stolen from the demon...
<k>
<p>
And they cast the evil beast
into the depths of a vast
maze, and sealed the exit...
<k>
<p>
From this, I gather that the
Crystal Stars cannot
distinguish good from evil.
<k>
<p>
So, if they're all united,
they could either seal away
or resurrect the demon.
<k>
<p>
It seems that who wields the
Crystal Stars determines if
they're used for evil or good.
<k> mac_4_001_10_kur Then the question is whether
gathering the Crystal Stars
is a danger in and of itself...
<k>
<p>
I mean, if we found them all
and then got robbed, the
demon could be revived!
<k>
<p>
Don't you think maybe it'd be
better to break them apart
and scatter the pieces?
<k> mac_4_001_10_nok Ummm... <wait 100>Doesn't that mean
that maybe gathering the
Crystal Stars is dangerous?
<k>
<p>
Say we did find them all...
<wait 100>
What if someone stole them?
<wait 250>
They could revive that thing!
<k>
<p>
Ummm... <wait 100>Call me crazy, but
maybe we oughta just
shatter those things.
<k> mac_4_001_10_win Well, we must consider the
idea that gathering the
Crystal Stars is unwise.
<k>
<p>
What if we found them all
and then got waylaid? <wait 250>That
awful thing could live again!
<k>
<p>
Forgive me for saying so,
but shouldn't we consider
destroying them?
<k> mac_4_001_10_yos Hey, then isn't it possible
that we shouldn't gather
these Crystal Stars?
<k>
<p>
Even if we do find 'em all,
someone could just steal 'em
all and revive that monster!
<k>
<p>
Maybe we oughta just stomp
the heck out of 'em and
throw the pieces away!
<k> mac_4_001_10_viv I guess we ought to consider
not collecting the Crystal
Stars, then...
<k>
<p>
It would be awful if we found
them all, only to have them
stolen for evil purposes.
<k>
<p>
Does anyone think it might
just be better to destroy
them once and for all? 
<k> mac_4_001_10_chu Well, the way I see it, it
may be entirely the wrong
idea to collect these things.
<k>
<p>
Why, someone could just steal
all the Crystal Stars from us
and resurrect that demon!
<k>
<p>
I feel as though the best
course of action might be to
destroy them utterly.
<k> mac_4_001_11 That was my first thought,
too, but further research
suggests we can't do that.
<k>
<p>
There's a slight possibility
that the Thousand-Year Door
<wait 150>
is weakening.
<k>
<p>
It seems the Crystal Stars
hold the power to seal the
beast for a thousand years.
<k>
<p>
So, once a thousand years
pass, the power to keep the
door sealed shut will fail.
<k>
<p>
And unfortunately, this year
may be the thousandth year.
<wait 250>
Bad luck, huh?
<k>
<p>
The fact that those goons
want the stars now may be
coincidence...<wait 250>but maybe not.
<k>
<p>
In other words, we must be
ready for the demon's return,
even if the X-Nauts fail.
<k> mac_4_001_12_kur In that case, we gotta go
collect the rest of the
Crystal Stars immediately!
<k>
<p>
No time to lose! <wait 100>Where
can we find the next one?
<k> mac_4_001_12_nok Well... <wait 100>Sheesh, we better go
get the rest of those
Crystal Stars, then!
<k>
<p>
Where can we find the next
one, Professor Frankly?
<k> mac_4_001_12_win Well, what are we dallying
for? <wait 100>We must find the rest
of the Crystal Stars!
<k>
<p>
Where to next, Frankly?
<k> mac_4_001_12_yos Whoa! <wait 100>Let's roll, then!
<wait 100>
We gotta get the rest of
those Crystal Stars!
<k>
<p>
Where's the next one at?
<k> mac_4_001_12_viv Oh.<wait 250> I guess we'd better find
the rest of the Crystal Stars
then, huh?
<k>
<p>
Where do we start?
<k> mac_4_001_12_chu Oh, my!<wait 100> I suppose we'd
better shake our tails and
find the other Crystal Stars!
<k>
<p>
Tell me, Professor, where is
the next one located?
<k> mac_4_002 Hrmm...<wait 250> According to the map,
it appears to be somewhere
on Keelhaul Key.
<k> mac_4_002_kur Keelhaul Key?
<k> mac_4_002_nok Keelhaul Key?
<k> mac_4_002_win Keelhaul Key?
<k> mac_4_002_yos Keelhaul Key?
<k> mac_4_002_viv Keelhaul Key?
<k> mac_4_002_chu Keelhaul Key?
<k> mac_4_003 I'm none too familiar with
the place, but I've heard
countless unsavory rumors.
<k>
<p>
You know, the usual stuff...
<wait 250>
Vengeful spirits full of hatred,
evil curses, things like that...
<k>
<p>
<wait 100>
I'm sure the sea salts down
by the harbor know more.
<wait 250>
You should head there first.
<k> mac_4_049 What do you blokes want?
<k> mac_4_049_01 I have no interest in passing
the time with you, so sorry.
<wait 250>
Now, away with you!
<k> mac_4_050 You seek Admiral Bobbery?
<k>
<p>
...Never heard of the gent.
<wait 250>
Take your search elsewhere.
<k> mac_4_051 Admiral Bobbery?
<k>
<p>
I haven't the faintest idea
what you're talking about.
<wait 250>
Now, if you please...
<k> mac_4_052_kur Don't play dumb with us!
<wait 250>
We were already told that
YOU are Admiral Bobbery!
<k> mac_4_052_nok Ummm... <wait 100>Listen, Mr. Bobbery...
<wait 250>
We already heard that you're
the Bobbery we're looking for.
<k> mac_4_052_win Oh, drop this SHAM, sir!
<wait 250>
We're already quite aware
that you're Bobbery!
<k> mac_4_052_yos Drop the act, Super 'Stache!
<wait 250>
We already found out that
you're Admiral Bobbery!
<k> mac_4_052_viv Please, don't insult us...
<wait 250>
We already know you're the
admiral, so just admit it!
<k> mac_4_052_chu Don't be so coy, Admiral!
<wait 250>
We've already found out
your identity!
<k> mac_4_053 Harumph! <wait 100>What poppycock...
<wait 250>
Tell me, what would you want
with me if I were this chap?
<k> mac_4_054 You say your ship needs a
navigator, and you want me
to do the job, mmm?
<k>
<p>
...So sorry, but you'll have to
look elsewhere.<wait 250> I shall set sail
upon the sea...<wait 100>nevermore!
<k> mac_4_055_kur But...<wait 250> Look, we're begging you
here!<wait 100> You totally have to!
<k>
<p>
You're the only one who can
guide our ship to Keelhaul
Key! <wait 100>This is serious stuff!
<k> mac_4_055_nok But...<wait 100> But...<wait 100> But...<wait 100> But...
<wait 250>
Please, Admiral, sir!
<wait 250>
We NEED you!
<k>
<p>
Nobody else can get us to
Keelhaul Key!
<k> mac_4_055_win But...<wait 250> Show some compassion,
dear man. <wait 100>Don't make us beg!
<wait 100>
We simply must have you!
<k>
<p>
You are our sole hope for
reaching Keelhaul Key!
<k> mac_4_055_yos But... <wait 100>That's just not cool!
<wait 250>
You wanna see me beg or
something?<wait 100> Is that it?
<k>
<p>
You HAVE to come along!
<wait 250>
Only you can get us safely
to Keelhaul Key!
<k> mac_4_055_viv But...<wait 250> Maybe you don't
understand how important
this is.<wait 250> We NEED you.
<k>
<p>
Without you, we'll never get
to Keelhaul Key!
<k> mac_4_055_chu But...<wait 250> Don't be like that!
<wait 100>
We truly need your help,
can't you see that?
<k>
<p>
Without you, we'll surely meet
our ends on the way to
Keelhaul Key!
<k> mac_4_056 Awfully sorry, dear boy, but
when I say "no," what I mean
is...<wait 250>NO!
<k> mac_4_056_01 Now, away with you!
<k> mac_4_057 I shall set sail upon the sea
nevermore.<wait 250> Away with you!
<k> mac_4_058_kur Darn!<wait 100> What do we do, Mario?
<wait 250>
That guy doesn't seem too
stoked to come with us.
<k> mac_4_058_nok Um... <wait 100>What's next, Mario?
<wait 250>
I don't think we're gonna
convince that guy to join us.
<k> mac_4_058_win I'm at a loss, Mario...
<wait 250>
This gentleman is stubborn
as an ornery old mule!
<k> mac_4_058_yos What's the next move, chief?
<wait 250>
This salty dude is going
nowhere fast.
<k> mac_4_058_viv What do you think, Mario?
<wait 250>
Nothing we say seems to be
enough to convince this man...
<k> mac_4_058_chu Mmmm... <wait 100>Your thoughts, Mario?
<wait 250>
We don't seem to be getting
anywhere with this man.
<k> mac_4_059_kur Know what I wonder, though?
<wait 250>
Why's he all weirded out
about the sea, anyway?
<k>
<p>
We oughta find someone who
knows this guy and find out
what his malfunction is.
<k> mac_4_059_nok He seems so bummed out...
<wait 250>
Why is he so hung up on not
sailing again, I wonder?
<k>
<p>
Maybe we should ask around
and see if anybody knows
the admiral's story.
<k> mac_4_059_win But... <wait 100>I can't help but wonder...
<wait 250>
What is it that turned this
poor man against the sea?
<k>
<p>
Perhaps it would behoove us
to search out someone who
knows him and ask about it.
<k> mac_4_059_yos I can't figure this guy out!
<wait 250>
What's his beef with the
ocean, anyway?
<k>
<p>
Know what we oughta do?<wait 250> Go
find someone who knows what
this dude's deal is!
<k> mac_4_059_viv But... <wait 100>Don't you find it odd?
<wait 250>
Why would a sailor have such
hatred for the sea?
<k>
<p>
We need answers... <wait 100>Maybe we
should ask around town
about this man's story...
<k> mac_4_059_chu I can't help but wonder...
<wait 250>
What could turn such a man
against the sea?
<k>
<p>
I think our only option is to
ask around and see if anyone
knows his tale.
<k> mac_4_060 Admiral Bobbery won't go to
sea? <wait 250>That's a setback.
<k>
<p>
Hrmm...<wait 250> I don't know the man
myself, so I don't know what
to tell you, unfortunately.
<k>
<p>
But I'd be willing to bet that
Podley knows a thing or two.
<wait 250>
He works at the inn's cafe.
<k> mac_4_077 What?!?<wait 250> Oh, by Blabberton's
beard! <wait 100>Not you again!
<k>
<p>
No matter how many times
you entreat me, my stance is
firm!<wait 250> Now away with you!
<k> mac_4_078 Pardon?<wait 250> A letter, you say?
<wait 250>
F-For me???
<k> mac_4_079 What?!?<wait 100> Scarlette!!!
<wait 250>
This is Scarlette's
handwriting!!!
<k> mac_4_080 Scarlette, my love...
<k> mac_4_081 <diary>
My love: if you're reading
this letter, then I am no
longer by your side.
<k>
<p>
Because fate has stepped
between us, I have decided
to write you this letter.
<k>
<p>
If you're reading this,
I must have passed away
while you were out to sea...
<k>
<p>
I can only assume that you
will blame yourself for it,
my sweet Bobbery.
<k>
<p>
Although my life was short,
you gave me more than a 
lifetime's worth of joy.
<k>
<p>
Though you will mourn, I
beg that you remember that
time, like love, is a tide.
<k>
<p>
You are one with the sea, as
you were one with me. Do not
lose both your life's loves.
<k> mac_4_082 "Time, like love, is a tide.
<wait 100>
You are one with the sea...
<wait 100>
as you were one with me..."
<k>
<p>
A...<wait 250> A thousand pardons...
<wait 250>
But may I have a moment
<wait 100>
alone, if you please?
<k> mac_4_083 Yes, love...<wait 250> I WAS happy...
<wait 250>
My sweet, sweet Scarlette...
<wait 500>
I love you still.
<k> mac_4_084 Now then! <wait 250>You were looking
for a navigator, I believe?
<wait 250>
Bound for Keelhaul Key?
<k> mac_4_085 Harumph!<wait 250> If you think an old
sea bomb like me is what you
need, then let's shove off!
<k> mac_4_086_kur Admiral Bobbery!!!<wait 100> Awesome!
<k> mac_4_086_nok Admiral Bobbery!!! <wait 100>Cool!
<k> mac_4_086_win Admiral Bobbery!!! <wait 100>Marvelous!
<k> mac_4_086_yos Admiral Bobbery!!! <wait 100>Yesss!
<k> mac_4_086_viv Admiral Bobbery!!! <wait 100>Wonderful!
<k> mac_4_086_chu Admiral Bobbery!!! <wait 100>Excellent!
<k> mac_4_087 The ship's in the harbor, hm?
<wait 250>
I must inspect her before we
leave. <wait 100>I shall meet you there.
<k> mac_5_000 Oh! <wait 100>Would you look at that!
<wait 250>
Another Crystal Star, eh?
<k>
<p>
Yes, well, as usual, take that
down to the Thousand-Year
Door.<wait 250> Then we'll talk.
<k> mac_5_002 <dynamic 3>
Great news, my friends!
</dynamic><wait 250>
The next Crystal Star is in
<col c00000ff>Poshley Heights</col>!
<k> mac_5_002_kur Wait a sec'! <wait 100>You mean where
all the rich and famous live?
<wait 100>
Like movie stars and stuff?
<k> mac_5_002_nok Wait... <wait 100>Don't a lot of really
rich and famous people live
in Poshley Heights?
<k> mac_5_002_win Just a moment! <wait 100>Isn't that
area known for its rich and
famous denizens?
<k> mac_5_002_yos Oh, man! <wait 100>Aren't there oodles
of rich and famous people
living in that place?
<k> mac_5_002_viv Hang on... <wait 100>Haven't I heard
that lots of rich and famous
people call that place home?
<k> mac_5_002_bom Wait a tick! <wait 100>I've heard tell
that only the rich and
famous call that place home...
<k> mac_5_002_chu Hey... <wait 100>Isn't that place simply
BURSTING with the rich and
famous? <wait 250>Excellent.
<k> mac_5_003 Yes, yes, and I'm fairly sure
there's also a shrine to the
stars called <col c00000ff>Poshley Sanctum</col>.
<k>
<p>
No fearsome monsters or
dangerous dungeons, either!
<wait 250>
It's just a tourist attraction!
<k> mac_5_004_kur So, uh, a little help, here?
<wait 250>
To get to Poshley Heights,
we should...
<k> mac_5_004_nok Sounds great!<wait 250> And to get to
this place, we should...
<k> mac_5_004_win Sounds absolutely fabulous!
<wait 250>
How do we get to this
wonderful town?
<k> mac_5_004_yos Get to the point, Prof!
<wait 250>
How do we get to this
Snobville, anyway?
<k> mac_5_004_viv Poshley Heights, huh? <wait 100>OK.
<wait 100>
How do we get there?
<k> mac_5_004_bom Harumph!<wait 250> Sounds positively
scintillating, dear boy.
<wait 250>
Point us there!
<k> mac_5_004_chu Well? <wait 100>Don't tease us,
Professor. <wait 250>How do we get
there from here?
<k> mac_5_005 <dynamic 3>
That's the best part! </dynamic><wait 250>You
ride the most famous train
of all! <wait 250><col c00000ff>The Excess Express</col>!
<k>
<p>
Yes!<wait 100> After a luxurious steam
engine excursion, the next
Crystal Star will be yours!
<k>
<p>
Getting those Crystal Stars
has been backbreaking work,
but this time will be a cinch!
<k> mac_5_006_kur But I thought you had to be,
like, rich or famous to get
an Excess Express ticket...
<k> mac_5_006_nok Um...<wait 100> But I thought only rich
or famous people can get
tickets on that train...
<k> mac_5_006_win Not to be a wet blanket, but
don't you have to be rich
or famous to ride that line?
<k> mac_5_006_yos Hey, I heard you had to be
all rich or famous to get a
ticket for that train!
<k> mac_5_006_viv Will they let us on board?
<wait 250>
I heard you have to be rich
or famous to get a seat.
<k> mac_5_006_bom Pardon me for saying so,
but mustn't you have wealth
or fame to ride that train?
<k> mac_5_006_chu You know, I had heard that
one must be rich or famous
to ride the Excess Express...
<k> mac_5_007 Hrmm...<wait 250> That may be true.
<wait 250>
Perhaps you should ask Don
Pianta for help with this, too.
<k> mac_5_008_kur Oh, no! <wait 250>No no no no no NO!
<wait 250>
Not that psychopath again!
<k>
<p>
...Oh, well. <wait 250>I guess we don't
have much choice, huh?
<wait 250>
C'mon, Mario. <wait 100>Let's go.
<k> mac_5_008_nok Oh, man! <wait 100>You gotta be joking
with me!<wait 250> That guy's scary!
<k>
<p>
...Great. <wait 250>Well, it's not like we
have much choice here.
<wait 250>
Let's go, Mario... <wait 250>Ugh...
<k> mac_5_008_win Good gracious, no! <wait 250>I'm afraid
I really must protest this!
<wait 250>
That man is TOO dangerous!
<k>
<p>
...Well, I suppose one must do
what one must do, correct?
<wait 250>
Let's get this over with.
<k> mac_5_008_yos Are you crazy?!?<wait 250> I heard
stories about that guy,
<wait 250>
and he sounds like a loon!
<k>
<p>
Man... <wait 250>Well, whatever, I guess.
<wait 250>
If we gotta, we gotta, right?
<wait 250>
Let's do this, Gonzales.
<k> mac_5_008_viv Are you kidding?<wait 250> Everyone
says he's an awful man!
<wait 250>
Doesn't he extort people?
<k>
<p>
...Well, I guess we don't have
much choice, now do we?
<wait 250>
Let's do this quickly.
<k> mac_5_008_bom Ah...no.<wait 250> Terribly sorry.<wait 250> Mm-mm.
<wait 250>
Impossible.<wait 250> Can't do it. 
<wait 250>
The man's reprehensible!
<k>
<p>
...Well, drat.<wait 250> I suppose there's
nothing for it, eh, old boy?
<wait 250>
If we must, we must. <wait 100>Let's go.
<k> mac_5_008_chu Oh, I do NOT think that's a
good idea! <wait 250>Do you know him?
<wait 250>
He is NOT one to mess with!
<k>
<p>
...Ah, well. <wait 250>If we have to, then
I'm in, but it could get ugly.
<wait 250>
Come on, Mario.<wait 100> Let's go.
<k> mac_5_009 Excellent. <wait 100>Then we're set!
<wait 250>
We may not have much time
left, so you must hurry.
<k>
<p>
I'll gather all the information
I can.<wait 250> You guys just handle
your end of things.
<k> mac_6_000 Oh!<wait 250> You got the next
Crystal Star! <wait 250>Well done!
<k>
<p>
Take that thing to the
Thousand-Year Door!
<k> mac_6_002_00 Hrmm...
<k> mac_6_002 If what this map indicates is
true, the location of the final
Crystal Star is...
<k> mac_6_003 <wait 100>
The moon.
<k> mac_6_004_kur The moon?!?
<k>
<p>
Princess Peach is there, too!
<wait 250>
This just seems wrong on,
like, SO many levels.
<k> mac_6_004_nok The moon?!?
<k>
<p>
Hey!<wait 100> Princess Peach is there!
<wait 250>
Oh, boy... <wait 100>Something about
this doesn't sit well...
<k> mac_6_004_win The moon?!?
<k>
<p>
Why, our Princess Peach is
there as well!<wait 250> I daresay
this doesn't bode well...
<k> mac_6_004_yos The moon?!?
<k>
<p>
That's where Princess Peach
is stuck! <wait 100>Yeah!<wait 100> Remember?
<wait 250>
...Seems suspicious, huh?
<k> mac_6_004_viv The moon?!?
<k>
<p>
Isn't Princess Peach also on
the moon?
<k> mac_6_004_bom The moon?!?
<k>
<p>
Great gobbledy! <wait 100>Princess
Peach is there as well!
<wait 250>
...This seems a bit...<wait 100>off.
<k> mac_6_004_chu The moon?!?
<k>
<p>
Isn't the princess trapped
there, too?<wait 250> Something about
this doesn't seem right...
<k> mac_6_005 Hrmmm...<wait 250> The problem here...
<wait 250>
is how does one get to the
moon?<wait 250> Quite a conundrum.
<k>
<p>
Give me a moment to look
into this.<wait 250> Excuse me, please.
<wait 250>
This shouldn't take long.
<k> mac_6_005_01 Ermmm... <wait 250>Looking into this may
take a little time, so come
back in a bit, all right?
<k> mac_6_006 I must concentrate on this,
so come back after about
three minutes, will you?
<k> mac_6_006_01 You're a little too soon.
<wait 250>
I'm still looking into this,
so come back later.
<k> mac_6_006_02 I've only just begun to
research.<wait 300> You'll have to wait
a bit longer.
<k> mac_6_006_03 Research takes time!<wait 250> Don't
you understand that?<wait 100> Hrmm?
<wait 300>
Wait over there or something.
<k> mac_6_006_04 No, this won't work either.
<wait 300>
What's left... <wait 500>Ah!<wait 100> Yes, of
course!<wait 100> That one book...
<k>
<p>
It looks like this will take
a while longer. <wait 250>Please come
back later, if you could.
<k> mac_6_006_05 Oh! <wait 100>Good timing, Mario!
<wait 300>
I've just hit on something,
I believe.
<k>
<p>
You should step out for a
breath of fresh air, and I'll
fill you in shortly.
<k> mac_6_006_06 I think I'll have an answer
in mere moments.<wait 300> You can
wait outside until then.
<k> mac_6_007 <dynamic 3>Ah!</dynamic> Excellent timing!
<k>
<p>
I finally have it, Mario!
<dkey><wait 500></dkey>
I found a way that might just
get you to the moon!
<k>
<p>
You must go to Fahr Outpost.
<wait 250>
And you must use the cannon
there. <wait 250>And it will blast you.
<k> mac_6_008_kur Uh, hello? <wait 250>We're using a
CANNON to get to the moon?
<wait 250>
Isn't that, like, dangerous?
<k> mac_6_008_nok Umm... <wait 100>Excuse me?<wait 250> We're using
a cannon to reach the moon?
<wait 250>
Don't we want to live?
<k> mac_6_008_win Pardon me, sugar? <wait 250>We're to
use a CANNON to get to the
moon? <wait 250>Is that entirely safe?
<k> mac_6_008_yos Whoa! <wait 100>We're using a cannon
to blast ourselves to the
moon? <wait 250>YEAH!<wait 100> EXTREEEEME!
<k> mac_6_008_viv Uh... <wait 100>We're using a cannon to
get to the moon?<wait 250> Doesn't
that seem...<wait 100>unsafe?
<k> mac_6_008_bom So we're to use a cannon to
reach the moon, are we?
<wait 250>
Sounds capital!
<k> mac_6_008_chu We're using a CANNON to get
to the moon? <wait 250>Whatever you
say, darling...
<k> mac_6_009 I know how it sounds, really.
<wait 250>
To be honest, I'm not entirely
sure of all the details...
<k>
<p>
Accounts from Fahr Outpost
speak of a device that can
launch anything, anywhere.
<k>
<p>
Even to the moon!
<k> mac_6_010_kur Great. <wait 250>Sounds super, really.
<wait 250>
So where is this Fahr
Outpost, anyway?
<k> mac_6_010_nok Um...<wait 100>OK.<wait 250> Well, where is this
certain death...<wait 250>er...<wait 100>Fahr
Outpost, anyway?
<k> mac_6_010_win Well, let's not delay, hmm?
<wait 250>
Where is this Fahr Outpost?
<k> mac_6_010_yos This is gonna be so COOOOL!
<wait 250>
Just point the way! <wait 250>Where is
this Fahr Outpost?
<k> mac_6_010_viv Well, where is this Fahr
Outpost, then?
<k> mac_6_010_bom I must say, this Fahr Outpost
already sounds like it will
be a bother to reach...
<k> mac_6_010_chu Well, where is this Fahr
Outpost, Professor?
<k> mac_6_011 I believe there's a pipe to
Fahr Outpost somewhere
beneath Rogueport...
<k>
<p>
But I'm not sure of the exact
location.<wait 250> Yes, I believe it
was hidden for some reason.
<k>
<p>
If my information is correct,
you need something called an
<col c00000ff>Ultra Hammer</col> to get it.
<k> mac_6_012_kur An Ultra Hammer?
<k> mac_6_012_nok An Ultra Hammer?
<k> mac_6_012_win An Ultra Hammer?
<k> mac_6_012_yos An Ultra Hammer?
<k> mac_6_012_viv An Ultra Hammer?
<k> mac_6_012_bom An Ultra Hammer?
<k> mac_6_012_chu An Ultra Hammer?
<k> mac_6_012_01_kur An Ultra Hammer?!?
<k>
<p>
Well, it's party time, then!
<wait 250>
We already got one of those!
<k> mac_6_012_01_nok An Ultra Hammer?!?
<k>
<p>
Um... <wait 100>Didn't we already get
one of those!
<k> mac_6_012_01_win An Ultra Hammer?!?
<k>
<p>
Why, we already got one of
those! <wait 250>How marvelous!
<k> mac_6_012_01_yos An Ultra Hammer?!?
<k>
<p>
Hey! <wait 250>Right ON! <wait 100>We already
got one of those!
<k> mac_6_012_01_viv An Ultra Hammer?!?
<k>
<p>
Didn't we get one of those
already, Mario?
<k> mac_6_012_01_bom An Ultra Hammer?!?
<k>
<p>
Dear man, we've already
procured one of those!
<k> mac_6_012_01_chu An Ultra Hammer?!?
<k>
<p>
But, sweetie, we've already
got one of those!
<k> mac_6_013 Yes, apparently the Ultra
Hammer made for opening the
way is hidden here in town.
<k>
<p>
You'll have to figure out how
you're going to find it,
though, because I don't know.
<k>
<p>
Hmph! <wait 100>Good luck with that.
<wait 250>
Once you find it, the path to
Fahr Outpost will open.
<k> mac_6_013_01 <dynamic 3>
Ah! <wait 100>Well!<wait 100> I see!
</dynamic><wait 250>
That certainly changes the
subject, now, doesn't it?!?
<k>
<p>
Well, use that Ultra Hammer
to find the pipe to Fahr
Outpost, then. <wait 250>Get to it!
<k> mac_6_014_kur You got it, Professor!
<wait 250>
Fahr Outpost, here we come!
<k> mac_6_014_nok Yes, sir, Professor Frankly!
<wait 250>
We're off to Fahr Outpost!
<k> mac_6_014_win We are on our way, Frankly!
<wait 250>
To Fahr Outpost we go!
<k> mac_6_014_yos Yeah! <wait 100>You got it, Prof!
<wait 250>
Fahr Outpost! <wait 100>Chaaaarge!
<k> mac_6_014_viv If you say so, Professor!
<wait 250>
Let's find Fahr Outpost!
<k> mac_6_014_bom Hmm...<wait 250> Yes...<wait 250> I see! <wait 100>Quite so!
<wait 250>
Destination: Fahr Outpost!
<k> mac_6_014_chu No problem at all, sweetie!
<wait 250>
Fahr Outpost, it is!
<k> mac_6_015 Oh, yes...<wait 250> One more thing
you should be aware of...
<k>
<p>
The Bob-ombs who live there
are...<wait 100>sort of a surly bunch.
<k>
<p>
They may not let you use
their cannon.<wait 250> You may have
to negotiate with them.
<k>
<p>
In any case, that's your
problem!<wait 250> Good luck!
<wait 250>
Get that last Crystal Star!
<k> gor_02_000 What do you want, chump?
<wait 250>
If you ain't got business here,
then beat it!
<k> gor_02_001 This is where I live, chump.
<wait 250>
Unless you gotta see me for
somethin', you need to leave.
<k> gor_02_001_01 This is where I live, chump.

<wait 250>
You meet that scum of the

<k> gor_02_003 Hey, you! <wait 250>Yeah, Mr. Chump!
<wait 250>
You met Don Pianta about
going to Glitzville, huh?
<k>
<p>
Back when I still had pull
in this town, I used to go
to Glitzville all the time.
<k> gor_02_003_01 Hey, you! <wait 250>Yeah, Mr. Chump!
<wait 250>
You met Don Pianta about

Back when I still had pull

<k> gor_02_003_02 Hey, you! <wait 250>Yeah, ol' Chumpie!
<wait 250>
...You say you made it to
Twilight Town?
<k>

Hey, we all got problems to
deal with, you know?
<k> gor_02_003_03 Hey, you! <wait 250>Yeah, el Chump!
<wait 250>
So, I hear you went to the
infamous Keelhaul Key.
<k>
<p>
So?<wait 250> Any treasure there?
<wait 250>
I tell you, you'd never find
me goin' to a place like that...
<k>
<p>
I mean, if you get cursed,
that's the end of it, y'know?
<wait 250>
Life's too precious, chump!
<k> gor_02_003_04 Hey, you!<wait 250> Yeah, the chump!
<wait 250>
So, you went to Poshley
Heights, did ya?
<k>
<p>
The people there are so
filthy rich, they border
on creepy!
<k>
<p>
I sure wouldn't mind goin'
there one day, though...<wait 250>and
startin' some trouble!
<k> gor_02_003_05 Hey, you! <wait 250>Yeah, Chumpley!
<wait 250>
Eh?!? <wait 250>Whuzzat???
<k>
<p>
You went to the moon?!?

<p>
Listen, I like your stories

<wait 250>
Did you conk your melon?
<k> gor_02_003_06 Hey, you!<wait 250> That was amazin'!
I can't believe how you

<p>
You really are incredible!

I'm goin' straight to you.

You saved the world, guy!

You're welcome here anytime!

My house is yours!

<wait 250>
You're an outsider!
<k>
<p>
Past this point is the turf of
Ishnail, head of the Robbos.
<wait 250>
It's 10 coins to pass through.
<k>
<p>
You try to pass without
paying, and I'm afraid I'll
have to whip you but good.
<o> gor_02_005 Whoa!<wait 100> Whoa!<wait 100> Hold up, now!
<wait 250>
If you want to pass through
here, you gotta pay 10 coins.
<o> gor_02_005_select <select 0 -1 0 80>
Fine, I'll pay.
I'm not paying.
I can take you! gor_02_006 <p>
One, two, three...<wait 250> Yup!
<wait 250>
That's 10 coins all right!
<k>
<p>
You can pass.
<k> gor_02_006_01 You can pass.

Whoa! <wait 250>Whoa!<wait 250> Hold up, now!

You don't have enough cash!
<wait 250>
You dirty, lying cheapskate!
<k> gor_02_007 <p>
It's really simple.<wait 250> If you
don't pay, you don't pass.
<k> gor_02_008 <p>
What?<wait 250> You gotta be kidding.
<wait 250>
You think you can fight your

<k>
<p>
I'm gonna make you eat your
words, tough guy!<wait 250> Let's get
this party started!
<k> gor_02_008_00 Ha!<wait 250> Learn your lesson?
<wait 250>
Prediction: <wait 250>you'll NEVER try
to fight through here again.

Huh!</dynamic><wait 300> That hurt?
<k>
<p>
You have no chance of
beating me, trust me...
<wait 250>
So, you'd better run.
<k>
<p>
Yeah, if you don't, seriously,
it'll be <col c00000ff>Game Over</col> for you!

You can choose to <col c00000ff>Run</col> from

DON'T YOU?!?

<k> gor_02_010_01 Where do you get off, talking
to me like nothing happened?
<wait 250>
Like there was no "beating"?

<p>
Yeah, guys like you act real

But...<wait 250>I still hate you with the
intensity of a thousand suns.
<wait 250>
Crud! <wait 250>I said something!
<k> gor_02_010_04 I'll tell you something: hitting
others hurts a lot more than
getting hit yourself!
<k>
<p>
Yeah, learn it early, or you'll
be scooping up your teeth
after a karmic beatdown!
<k> gor_02_010_05 Seriously, though...<wait 250> 10 coins
is nothing to beat somebody

<k> gor_02_010_06 Hey, I came up with this
great new scheme to make
money!<wait 250> Check this out!
<k>
<p>
It's called a Sock Shop!
<wait 250>
You get to sock me ten times,
and it only costs 10 coins!
<k>
<p>
I figure uncontrollably violent
guys like you can't live
without socking people, right?
<k>
<p>
Yeah, the only thing is...
<wait 250>
That's such a pathetic way
to make a living.<wait 250> Crud...
<k> gor_02_010_07 Yeah, so, I heard you're
trying to save your girl...
<k>
<p>
And here I thought you were
just a randomly violent guy
full of pent-up anger.
<k>
<p>
It takes more than big
muscles to be a big man.
<wait 250>
You gotta have a big heart...
<k>
<p>
Crud...<wait 250> Where am I gonna
get one of...
<k> gor_02_010_08 You're amazing!<wait 250> I think I

<k> gor_02_014 How's everything going?
<wait 250>
I know your quest is full of

<k> gor_02_015 There's a pipe that leads to
Boggly Woods beneath town.
<wait 250>
I suggest you look for that.
<k> gor_02_016 How's everything going?
<wait 250>
I know your quest is full of
danger, but you can do it.
<k> gor_02_017 Once you get a blimp ticket

<k>
<p>
Hrmm...<wait 300> Well, I suppose you'll
just have to work your way
up and win the championship.
<k> gor_02_019 There should be a pipe to
Twilight Town somewhere
beneath town.<wait 250> Look for it.
<k> gor_02_020 Got that?<wait 250> Look for Darkly,
who hails from Twilight Town.
<k>
<p>
He just may know a way to

<k>
<p>
He's probably around here
somewhere.<wait 250> Apparently he
likes dark places...

<wait 250>
Your quest is dangerous,
but you'll find a way!
<k> gor_02_022 It'd be best to ask around

next door.

They say he was a great and

<k> gor_02_023 Well? <wait 250>How's it going?
<wait 250>
I'm in the middle of
researching that door more.

I'm counting on you, Mario!

Don't let the fiends beat

We're counting on you!
<k> gor_02_026_01 It was written that the Ultra
Hammer is somewhere in town.
<wait 250>
Find it first, OK?
<k>
<p>
Then the way to Fahr
Outpost will be revealed.
<k> gor_02_027 The residents of Fahr

A Dried Shroom!

<wait 250>
Have you been powering up
your party members?
<k>
<p>
If you don't, they're gonna
have a rough time as you
keep adventuring.
<k>

If you haven't been powering

<wait 250>
I don't know why you think
I'd know something like that...
<k>
<p>
But the Robbo boss, who
claims this part of town as
his turf, might know.
<k>
<p>
Yeah, Ishnail--he's the Robbo
boss--and Don Pianta are
rival criminal heads.
<k>
<p>
So, of course, talking to
Ishnail about Don Pianta can
be<wait 150> hazardous to your health.

I bet you can find him
behind a building or
something, definitely.

<wait 300>
That's good...<wait 300> Not that I know
what's good about it, exactly.
<k> gor_02_030_04 When I've got a question

ask that Frankly guy.

He's an important professor,

anything, you should ask
that guy, definitely.

Have you been powering up

<k>
<p>
If you don't have enough

up, ask Merluvlee.
<k>
<p>
Yeah, sometimes I go see her
to get help finding stuff I've
misplaced or whatever.
<k>
<p>
Well, that's my excuse,
anyway. Truth is, I just like
to go see her.
<k> gor_02_030_07 Hey, did you hear there's

I've got to be straight, here.

So... <wait 250>I can't be a geologist...
<wait 250>
I can't be a thief...

You've inspired me to figure

without being a thief.
<k> gor_02_032_00 That Trouble Center is the

tough just to get by...
<k> gor_02_032_02 So, I've been thinking...
<wait 250>
and I think I want to meet
the Robbo boss just once...
<k>
<p>
Thing is, I have no idea
where the thieves' hideout
is located. <wait 250>None.
<k>
<p>
Rumor has it there's a secret

where could someone fit?
<k> gor_02_032_03 You know, there are always
rags-to-riches stories about

can grow up to be president!

time...<wait 250>usually.<wait 250> But not now.
<wait 100>
Where is he today?

<p>
I was thinking I'd come talk
to him about a way to make
some quick dough...
<k>
<p>
If you see him, tell him that
I'm looking for him, OK?
<k> gor_02_032_05 Sure, I want money, but I
don't need a lot of it.
<k>
<p>
The way I see it, the more
money you have, the more

If I have enough to help my

be fine.<dkey><wait 500></dkey> Secret of life, man!

have to classify me as a
rogue.<wait 250> But I have standards.
<k>
<p>
I only steal from the rich.

Who could steal from people
who also have cash problems?
<k> gor_02_032_08 When the sky went dark,

I'm gonna change my ways!

No more stealing for me!
<k> gor_02_033_00 This is east Rogueport.
<wait 300>
This is the turf of Ishnail

You can't even tell if these

<col 202060ff>
Ages ago, a city flourished
here in peace and splendor.
<k>
<p>
...But it was destroyed in a
single day by a demon from
the dark beyond.
<k>
<p>
Historians claim a great
calamity befell the city,
but nay...<wait 250>'twas a demon.
<k>
<p>
The city sank below ground,
and one-quarter of the old
city became the demon's den.
<k>
<p>
This demon put fear into the
hearts of all men and sent
out minions to take the land.
<k>
<p>
And its den, its palace, grew
rich with the treasures stolen
from all over the world.
<k></col>
<o> jperfect_code_0001 <!STG4_15,The Crystal Stars>
<p>
<col 202060ff>
In order to increase its
already formidable power...
<k>
<p>
The demon created Crystal
Stars to hold the essence
of the heavens.
<k>
<p>
One of these stars was
placed in each country to
exert the demon's influence.
<k>
<p>
One of the castles built to
contain these stars still
stands near Petal Meadows.
<k></col>
<o> jperfect_code_0002 <!STG6_54,Dragons and Dungeons>
<p>
<col 202060ff>
The demon built a dungeon
near its palace and filled
it with terrifying monsters...
<k>
<p>
All those who fell into
disfavor were thrown into
this dungeon to rot...
<k>
<p>
Yea, and the demon also had
three dragon pets: <wait 250>Hooktail,
Gloomtail, and Bonetail.
<k>
<p>
These dragons flew across
the land, spreading fear
and sorrow over all.
<k>
<p>
Even now, the mere mention
of a dragon is enough to
give some the terrors...
<k></col>
<o> jperfect_code_0003 <!STG0_00,The Hero Who Arose>
<p>
<col 202060ff>
One day, there came a hero
who could vanquish the
fell demon.
<k>
<p>
The young Toad from Petal
Meadows was strong of arm,
but shy of voice...
<k>
<p>
All those around the boy
teased him endlessly about
the way he spoke.
<k>
<p>
But when the demon cast his
fearful gaze across the
lands and reached out...
<k>
<p>
The young Toad used his
strength and honor to
defend his people.
<k>
<p>
And he became a hero to all,
despite his odd voice.
</col><k>
<o> jperfect_code_0004 <!STG3_20,The Wise Goomba>
<p>
<col 202060ff>
There was a wise Goomba
from Boggly Woods gifted in
knowledge of the world.
<k>
<p>
When beasts rose to take
the woods, this knowledge
helped the people fight them.
<k>
<p>
And this Goomba, who knew
the way that every monster
would attack...
<k>
<p>
She began to think of a way
to banish all monsters from
the land...
</col><k>
<o> jperfect_code_0005 <!STG3_30,The Stalwart Koopa>
<p>
<col 202060ff>
A Koopa who traveled the
world alone learned of the
darkness covering the land...
<k>
<p>
He went alone wherever evil
dwelt, and banished it with
shell and sheer bravado.
<k>
<p>
The monsters grew to fear
this scar-riddled Koopa who
thwarted them at every turn.
<k>
<p>
But the brave Koopa was
finally taken in a trap set
for him by the monsters.
<k>
<p>
But then, a Boo who fought
with the monsters came and
used her magic to free him.
<k>
<p>
The brave Koopa's spirit
had melted the heart of the
cold Boo lass...
</col><k>
<o> jperfect_code_0006 <!STG3_32,The Four Heroes>
<p>
<col 202060ff>
The Boo used her powerful
magic to learn more about
the evil they faced...
<k>
<p>
"We cannot destroy this
darkness alone," she decided,
her face a grim mask.
<k>
<p>
"We need the Toad hero of
Petal Meadows and the wise
Goomba of Boggly Woods."
<k><p>
The Boo's magic drew the
four heroes together to send
the demon from the world.
<k>
<p>
And so, the four heroes
finally set out for the
Palace of Shadow...
</col><k>
<o> jperfect_code_0007 <!STG4_05,The Duel With the Demon>
<p>
<col 202060ff>
The power of the world-
devouring demon was greater
than any could imagine...
<k>
<p>
But the wise Goomba soon
realized that this was the
power of the Crystal Stars...
<k>
<p>
She thought of a way to
take the stars and use them
against the demon.
<k>
<p>
She told the other heroes
her plan and set it in motion,
banishing their fears.
<k>
<p>
The Boo's magic and the
Toad's strength created a
gap in the demon's defenses...
<k>
<p>
At that moment, the brave
Koopa seized the stars...
<k>
<p>
And succeeded in badly
damaging the demon...
</col><k>
<o> jperfect_code_0008 <!STG4_15,The Demon Sealed Within>
<p>
<col 202060ff>
But even the brave Koopa's
stroke was not enough to
end the demon's reign...
<k>
<p>
The wise Goomba thought of
another use for the Crystal
Stars in that dire hour...
<k>
<p>
She suggested sealing the
demon forever with the
Crystal Stars.<wait 250> All agreed.
<k>
<p>
The heroes matched their
strengths with the power
of the Crystal Stars...
<k>
<p>
And they successfully sealed
the demon's soul within the
deepest part of the palace.
<k>
<p>
Together, they made it so
that only all seven stars
could break the seal...
</col><k>
<o> jperfect_code_0009 <!STG5_43,The Demon's Curse>
<p>
<col 202060ff>
The four heroes thought
they had sealed away the
demon and all of its powers...
<k>
<p>
But the demon used a tiny
opening before the seal was
complete to curse them all.
<k>
<p>
While holding the Crystal
Stars, they'd feel nothing,
but when they let them go...
<k>
<p>
A black box would appear to
seal their souls within.
<k>
<p>
The four heroes traveled the
world, scattering the stars
so the seal would remain.
<k>
<p>
But the last four stars each
carried the curse, which
claimed each hero...
</col><k>
<o> jperfect_code_0010 <!STG5_43,The Great Tree and Punies>
<p>
<col 202060ff>
The hiding places of many of
the Crystal Stars have now
faded into legend.
<k>
<p>
But some say that the wise
Goomba hid one in the
Great Tree.
<k>
<p>
At that time, many monsters
wandered in the nearby
Boggly Woods.
<k>
<p>
The tiny Punies were always
tormented by their fierce
appetites, it was said.
<k>
<p>
Pitying them, the Goomba
hollowed out the Great Tree
for the Punies to live in.
<k>
<p>
The Punies were so grateful
that they swore to protect
the Crystal Star there...

<p>
<col 202060ff>
The Koopa hero went to a
southern isle to hide his star
where none would find it.
<k>
<p>
But the Koopa was so tired
from his journey that the
pirate Cortez stole it easily.
<k>
<p>
In that very instant, the
brave Koopa was trapped in
an inescapable chest.
<k>
<p>
But Cortez did not realize
the power of the star and
lost it among his treasures...

The strong Toad held his

arduous journey.
<k>
<p>
But eventually the miles
took their toll upon him,
and he collapsed.
<k>
<p>
A traveling healer happened
by and saved his life...
<k>
<p>
But the Toad knew his fate
was to be trapped in the
box when the star was gone...
<k>

So he asked this healer to

After the demon was sealed
within the Palace of Shadow...
<k>
<p>
Many refused to come near
that place of terror.
<k>
<p>
But as the years passed,
entire generations forgot...
<k>
<p>
And the penniless and the

in this once-barren place...

This place soon became a

of Rogueport...
<k>
<p>
And some even began to say
that the underground city

But they were unaware that

The heroes knew that the
seal might not last forever...

<p>
And they sought to make the
Crystal Stars available to
one who might need them...
<k>
<p>
So, before going to their
individual dooms, they made
a map to all the stars.

<p>
And to prevent an evil force
from misusing this map...

They placed it in a box that

<k>
<p>
I'll dispose of this in a
way no one will ever find it.
<wait 250>
Tell McGoomba I said so.
<k>
<p>
And do me a favor:<wait 250> forget all
this. <wait 250>You hear me?<wait 250> It never
happened.<wait 250> For your sake.
<k>
<p>
We never spoke!
<dkey><wait 500></dkey>
Forget everything!
<k>
<p>
And when you give McGoomba
my message, he'll give you
your compensation.
<k>
<p>
Remember: this deal won't
be done until you give my
message to McGoomba.

Yes
No irai_03_01 <p>
I'm counting on you.

Fire Flowers, Sleepy Sheep,
and Tasty Tonics.

<wait 250>
...Wow! <wait 250>That's rough.
<k>
<p>
Those are some low prices.
<wait 250>
I can't believe they're
selling that low...
<k>
<p>
Hmm...<wait 250> Even if I try to
compete with them, I don't
think I can profit.
<k>
<p>
But it is certainly helpful
information.<wait 250> Here's your
reward. <wait 250>Good work.
<k> irai_04_003 You got a problem? <wait 250>What are
you looking at?<wait 250> Unless you
got business with me, scram!
<k>
<p>
...What?<wait 250> You want me to
return the money I swindled?
<k>
<p>
What are you, the fraud
police?<wait 250> Sheesh!<wait 250> How'd I let
myself get caught?!?
<k> irai_13_001 Yeah, I spoke to Jolene.
<wait 250>
Now who was it that she
wanted "taken care of"?
<k> irai_13_002 Not who?<wait 200> What, you say?
<wait 200>
Well, fine.<wait 250> Let's get it done.
<wait 200>
So, what are we doing here?
<k> irai_13_003 Still some left?
<k> irai_13_004 I guess we're done with
this one.<wait 250> Man, I have NEVER
had a job this stinky.
<k>
<p>
Make sure you get duress
pay for this, man!
<k> irai_13_005 Really?<wait 250> Some left?
<k> irai_oku_00 Whoa!<wait 250> What's the meaning
of this?<wait 250> You found my secret
way in?<wait 250> Dang...
<k>
<p>
Look.<wait 250> A lot of, shall we say,
"sketchy" requests get
submitted here...
<k>
<p>
So, don't tell anyone that
we're the ones running the
Trouble Center, OK?
<k> irai_oku_01 If you want to take on a
trouble, you'll have to use
the main entrance.
<k>
<p>
Look, a lot of, shall we say,
"sketchy" requests get
submitted here...
<k>
<p>
Not to belabor the point, but
don't tell anyone that we're
running the Trouble Center.
<k> monosiri_follow_00 <system>
You found a scrap of paper
in the garbage can with info
about %s.
<k>
<p>
It has been transferred to
your Tattle Log.
<k> ep_36 <housou>
With the info I gathered
with you, we have lots of
great leads now, though!
<k>
<p>
Mario... Like I always said,
every myth contains a kernel
of truth.
<k>
<p>
Speaking of which, know what
was in the chest that the
professor recovered?
<k>
<p>
You're totally not gonna
believe me when I tell you.
<wait 250>
It's...
<k>
<p>
A secret! <wait 250>Ha ha ha ha ha!
<wait 250>
But I'll tell you next time
I see you.
<k>
 msg_kuri_map <keyxon>
This is Rogueport's east side.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
It's considered dangerous
here, even for Rogueport!
<k>
<p>
This is Ishnail's turf.
<wait 250>
He's the leader of a band
of thieves called the Robbos.
<k>
<p>
Then again, you can also
find Merlon here. <wait 250>He can help
your partners level up.
<k>
<p>
Still, it's definitely too
rough a place for a girl
like me to walk alone... <icon HM 0.6 -20 31 0>
<k> p[Abv <keyxon>
That's Merlon.<dkey><wait 300></dkey> He's this odd
old man who says really
bizarre things sometimes.
<k>
<p>
He helps power up your allies
here.<wait 300> For three Shine Sprites,
he raises a partner one rank.
<k> NnJZ <keyxon>
That's Professor Frankly,
head of the archaeology
department at U Goom.
<k>
<p>
He's researching the
legendary treasure here.
<wait 300>
I totally respect him.
<k>
<p>
You know the famous
Professor Kolorado? <wait 250>He was a
student of Frankly's!
<k> 񉮊 <keyxon>
That guy's name is Grifty.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
He's a laid-back rooftop
minstrel-type guy.
<k>
<p>
He tends to know all of the
stories that get passed
around Rogueport's streets.
<k>
<p>
For a couple coins, he'll tell
you one...<wait 300>and you never know,
it might help on our travels.
<k> cP <keyxon>
That's Gus. <wait 250>He's part of that
band of thieves who call
themselves the Robbos.
<k>
<p>
He looks like a total maniac,
but he's actually a nice guy.
<wait 300>
Don't judge books by covers!
<k> cQ <keyxon>
That's Garf, part of the
Robbo gang.<wait 300> I'm pretty sure
he's related to Gus.
<k>
<p>
He looks pretty gnarly, but
he's actually pretty cool.
<wait 300>
Don't judge folks on looks!
<k> cR <keyxon>
That's Goose. <wait 300>Turns out the
Trouble Center was being run
by him and Ishnail's boys.
<k>
<p>
He may look violent, but he's
actually an intellectual.
<wait 300>
People surprise you, huh?
<k> ce <keyxon>
That's Ishnail, leader of the
thief band called the Robbos.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
He REALLY hates Don Pianta.
<k>
<p>
I guess that's to be expected,
since they're bitter rivals
and everything.
<k>
<p>
He's got some issues about
money, but he's OK otherwise.
<wait 300>
Who knew?
<k> T_[X <keyxon>
That's a Bob-omb sailor.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
The workers at the docks
say he's some kind of legend.
<k>
<p>
I heard he was stubborn, but
who knew he'd give us this
much trouble?<wait 250> Seriously!
<k>
<p>
It'd be nice if Professor
Frankly could tell us
something about him...
<k> N{[S <keyxon>
That's Goomfrey the Goomba.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
He looks kind of shady, I
guess, but he's cool.
<k>
<p>
People call him a "fixer."
<wait 250>
Y'know, a guy that can make
any problem...<wait 250>just go away.
<k> `[R <keyxon>
That's Pierre.<dkey><wait 300></dkey> He sure does
seem to have a lot of free
time, doesn't he?
<k>
<p>
Word is, he's been busting his
tail lately to catch the eye
of the crime boss, Ishnail.
<k> eR <keyxon>
That's Arfur.<wait 300> He's always
hanging around here.
<k>
<p>
He looks totally suspicious,
but apparently he lives by
some super-stern moral code.
<k> {h[P <keyxon>
That's Swindell, the bandit.
<wait 300>
At least, I HEAR he's a thief,
but I've never seen him steal.
<k>
<p>
He's always whispering to
Arfur about something.
<k> {h[Q <keyxon>
That's Larson, the bandit.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
The word's out on his scam,
so he's laying low here.
<k>
<p>
Of course, he wouldn't have
to lay low ANYWHERE if he'd
just kept his nose clean...
<k>
<p>
You think maybe he just gets
a thrill from breaking the
law or what?
<k> NK <keyxon>
That's Darkly. He loooooooves
the dark.<dkey><wait 300></dkey> He just stays here
in the shadows all day long.
<k>
<p>
Sounds kinda creepy to me,
but hey, whatever powers
you up, know what I mean?
<k> C[W <keyxon>
Who's this guy?
<k>
<p>
...Come on, you really need to
ask me that?<wait 250> Gimme a break!
<wait 250>
That's your brother, Luigi!
<k>
<p>
But...I wonder why he's here?
<wait 250>
I'm sure he'll tell you if
you ask him.
