M-My name's...<wait 250>Koops.
<k>
<p>
I heard you're traveling to

So, anyway, I, uh...<wait 250> 
I have a favor to ask.
<k>
<p>

<k> stg1_nok_30_01 OOOOOO-K... <wait 250>That was weird...
<wait 250>
What do you think THAT was
all about? <wait 250>Talk about issues!
<k> stg1_nok_27 Um...<wait 250> Hi there, folks.
<k>
<p>
Did you come to this village
to look for the treasure of
Hooktail's castle?
<k>
<p>
......
<k>
<p>
Well...<wait 250>that Hooktail is one
tough cookie.
<k> stg1_nok_27_01 What did you say?
<wait 250>
You mean you're actually
going to Hooktail's castle?
<k>
<p>
I can't believe you'd dare
challenge that behemoth.<wait 250> 
It eats people. <wait 250>Often!
<k>
<p>
.........
<k>
<p>
Umm... <wait 250>It's really none of my
business, but it's one scary
dragon, and that's no lie!
<k> stg1_nok_31 Ummm...<wait 250> Look, I...
<wait 250>
Listen, just forget that whole
scene I made earlier, OK?
<k>
<p>
It was nothing. <wait 250>I was just
fooling around or something.
<k> stg1_nok_31_01 You truly are going to
Hooktail's castle, aren't you?
<k>
<p>
I can't believe you have the
guts to challenge that
fearsome monster.<wait 250> Brrrrr!
<k>
<p>
...Gives me the willies...
<k>
<p>
I'm sure you know what you're
getting into, but seriously,
that thing is savage.
<k> stg1_nok_31_01_00 Be prepared for trouble, and
trouble will pass you by.<wait 250> 
That's what I always say!
<k>
<p>
By which I mean, it'd be wise
to stock up on items before
you go to Shhwonk Fortress.
<k>
<p>
I've heard there are beasts
there that you can't beat in
battle without items.
<k>
<p>
My personal recommendation?
<wait 250>
Probably POW Blocks.<wait 250> Yeah.<wait 250> 
They're always a solid choice.
<k> stg1_nok_31_01_01 You defeated the fabled
stone monster of Shhwonk?
<wait 250>
Whoa!<wait 250> Well done!
<k>
<p>
But wait...<wait 250> Hold on, now...
<wait 250>
That means I have no more
job, doesn't it?
<k>
<p>
Well, what do you suppose I
should do now, huh?
<wait 250>
What a pickle...
<k> stg1_nok_31_02 Huh? Did I hear that right?
The stone monster appeared?
So, the stories were true...
<k>
<p>
You'd better go and buy some
items then. You know, just to
be on the safe side.
<k>
<p>
Yup, that'd be a smart move.
<wait 250>
And the shopkeeper will be
psyched to see you, too.
<k> stg1_nok_31_02_1 Huh?!?
<wait 250>
You say you beat Hooktail???
<wait 250>
That's incredible!<wait 250> Amazing!
<k>
<p>
So I guess that means your
adventure is finally over, eh?
<k>
<p>
What?<wait 250> It's only just begun?!?
<wait 250>
Wow, really?
<k>
<p>
In that case, you'd better
stock up on more items.
<wait 250>
I bet they'll come in handy!
<k> stg1_nok_31_02_2 Thanks to you, it'll be calm
here again. <wait 250>Of course, peace
and quiet is bad for business.

anymore.<wait 250> The business world

<k> stg1_nok_32 Hey, since you're here, let
me ask: <wait 250>how many people do
you think Hooktail's gobbled?
<k>
<p>
All time, I mean. <wait 250>I heard
it recently lunched on old
man Skoo two villages over...
<k>
<p>
And Koops, who lives next
door? <wait 250>His father went off to
battle Hooktail ages ago.
<k>
<p>
He's been a missing person...
<dkey><wait 500></dkey>
No, wait, that's not right...
<wait 250>
A missing KOOPA ever since!
<k> stg1_nok_32_01 I live in constant fear of
Hooktail swooping down to
attack this village...
<k>
<p>
That's why I'm always telling
my kids not to wander too
far from home.
<k> stg1_nok_33 What do you mean, Koops's
father was living inside
Hooktail's stomach?
<k>
<p>
Wow, Koopley RULES!
<wait 250>
Hooktail bit off more than
it could chew this time!
<k> stg1_nok_33_1 Koopley tries to play it off,
but he's actually worried sick
over what'll happen to Koops.
<k>
<p>
He should know, though: <wait 50>Don't
judge a person...<wait 250> No...<wait 250> Don't
judge a Koopa by its shell.

<k> stg1_nok_38 Go on, do what you will...<wait 250> 
but as you can plainly see,
there's nothing to steal here.

Oh, I guess I have a little
money...<wait 250> Take it, you fiends. <wait 250> 
And my antique shell, too.

<p>
If you're intent on going to

<k>
<p>
I don't know where it's at,
but I know you need <col c00000ff>stone
keys</col> to use that pipe.

<wait 250>
Get going and take care of
that Hooktail monster!
<k> stg1_nok_47 If you're intent on going to

To find the pipe, you'll need

<k>
<p>
Got all that, Murphy?
<wait 250>
Then get gone and take care
of that Hooktail monster!
<k> stg1_nok_56 Well done there, Murphy!

<k> stg1_nok_71 Do your best, dear Koops!<wait 250> 
I'll be waiting for you.
<k> stg1_nok_72 Take care of Koops, please.
<k> stg1_nok_73 Koops!<wait 50> I know you can do it!<wait 250> 
Prove yourself and then
hurry home to me.
<k> stg1_nok_74 I hope Koops is doing well.<wait 250> 
I'm awfully worried...
<k> stg1_nok_75 I hope you're not causing
everyone problems, Koops.
<wait 250>
Be strong, my love!
<k>
 stg1_nok_76 I hope Koops isn't causing
everyone problems...
<wait 250>
I'm awfully worried...
<k>
 stg1_nok_77 Is it me, Koops, or are you
more...<wait 250>toned than before?
<k>
<p>
Well, well, well, well...
<wait 250>
You'll grow out of that shell
soon if you aren't careful... <icon HM 0.6 -20 31 0> 
<k> stg1_nok_78 Oh, my sweet Koops...<wait 250> 
I wonder if he's forgotten
me on his big adventure?
<k>
<p>
Men are so unpredictable...
<wait 250>
Still, I'm sure our love grows
stronger with distance. <icon HM 0.6 -20 31 0> 
<k> stg1_nok_78_01 Oh, my sweet Koops...<wait 250> 
I wonder if he's forgotten
me on his big adventure?
<k>
<p>
Men are so unpredictable...
<wait 250>
Still, I'm sure our love grows
stronger with distance. <icon HM 0.6 -20 31 0> 
<k> stg1_nok_79 No matter where it is you
go, Son, just know that your
old Koopa's rooting for you!
<k> stg1_nok_80 Take care of young Koops,
will you, Mario?
<k>
<p>
I'm looking forward to the
day my boy comes home a
full-grown Koopa!
<k> stg1_nok_81 Looks like you're working
hard, Koops. <wait 50>Good for you!
<wait 250>
Don't push too hard, though.
<k>
<p>
If you do, you may find
yourself all gobbled up...
<wait 250>
Like me!<wait 50> Yar har har har!
<k> stg1_nok_82 So tell me, Mario, how's
my boy, Koops, doing?
<k>
<p>
If he's not pulling his weight,
you just let me know.
<k>
<p>
I'll take his place in your
group like THAT!<wait 50> Oh, yeah!
<wait 250>
Yar har har har har har!
<k> stg1_nok_83 OK, Koops, it's time for
me to teach you my own
patented fighting technique!
<k>
<p>
If you can master this skill,
you'll be ready for any foe!
<wait 250>
I like to call it the...
<k>
<p>
Power Shell!<wait 400> Hm? <wait 50>You already
know it?<wait 250> Hmmm... <wait 250>So kids grow
even without their parents...
<k> stg1_nok_84 Mario, don't let Koops know,
but I have this dream.
<k>
<p>
Are you ready for it?
<wait 250>
Someday...<wait 250>I want to go on an
adventure with Koops!
<k>
<p>
I get the feeling that day's
not too far off, somehow.
<wait 250>
That's two I owe you, Mario!
<k> stg1_nok_84_1 Well, hello there, Mario!
<wait 250>
Sooo... <wait 250>How are things today?
<k>
<p>
Things are just great here...<wait 50> 
thanks to you!
<k> stg1_nok_85 Koops, my lad...
<wait 250>
Are you telling me that
you're going with Mario?
<k> stg1_nok_86 Umm...<wait 250> That's right, Dad...
<wait 250>
I'm going to continue
traveling with Mario.
<k>
<p>
And then I'm...<wait 250> Well...
<wait 250>
I'm going to come back a
strong Koopa like you, Dad!
<k> stg1_nok_87 Nicely said, young Koops!<wait 250> 
THAT'S my boy!
<k>
<p>
But always remember this:
<wait 500>
you are my son, Koops...
<wait 500>
and I am your father!
<k> stg1_nok_88 Koops, my sweet...
<wait 500>
I'll be right here waiting...
<wait 250>
for you to prove yourself.
<k> stg1_nok_89 Ahem... <wait 250>May I just add...
<wait 500>
If anything happens, you can
always come home, Koops.
<k>
<p>
Don't you ever forget that.
<wait 250>
This village will always be
your home.
<k> stg1_nok_90 OK! <wait 50>Thank you, everyone.
<wait 250>
Well, I'm off!
<k> stg1_nok_91 Sorry to keep you waiting,
Mario.<wait 250> You know...<wait 250>farewells.
<wait 500>
So, where are we going?
<k> stg1_nok_92 Let's head back to
Rogueport.
<k> stg1_nok_94 Remember, Mario?
<k>
<p>
"The bearer of the Magical
Map shall unfurl it before
the Thousand-Year Door."
<k>
<p>
"When this is done, the stars
shall guide the bearer to the
Crystal Star with pure light."
<k>
<p>
And it didn't stop there...
<k>
<p>
"Each Crystal Star shall point
to the next..."
<wait 750>
That's what the books say.
<k>
<p>
Which means...<wait 250>if we take the
Crystal Star we found back
to the Thousand-Year Door...
<k> stg1_nok_95 So...<wait 250>that means the location
of the next Crystal Star will
appear on that magic map?
<k> stg1_nok_96 Exactly!<wait 250> C'mon!<wait 50> Let's go!!
<k> nok_01_aed_nok_01 Mario!<wait 250> I'm so glad I got to
see you again!
<k> nok_01_aed_nok_02 So, you're off on another
adventure, eh?<wait 250> Yes, of
course I'll go with you!
<k> nok_01_aed_nok_03 <system>
Koops has joined your party!
<k> nok_01_aed_nok_04 Come on! Let's go!
<k> irai_08_001 Well, well...<wait 100> Murphy!
<wait 250>
You must have gotten my
request.<wait 250> Good, good.
<k>
<p>
Truth be told, I've been
a touch lonely here with
no one to talk to.
<k>
<p>
Since you're here, why don't
you relax with me for a bit.
<wait 250>
Indulge an old Koopa.
<k>
<p>
Hoo... <wait 100>To tell you the truth,
I've got a few things to say
about kids these days.
<k>
<p>
Their tempers are too short
for their own good, for one!
<wait 250>
Makes me want to smack 'em!
<k>
<p>
Why, I was shopping at the
Toadstool Bros. Discount
Super Shop the other day...
<k>
<p>
I was trying to pay, and my
coin purse was stuck closed,
and the kid behind me said...
<k>
<p>
"Hey, geezer, wanna pay so
we can get out of here
before the sun goes down?"
<k>
<p>
Now, I may be a geezer, but
sundown was clearly taking
longer than I was.<wait 100> Clearly!
<k>
<p>
...Speaking of sundown reminds
me of dating the missus back
before she was the missus.
<k>
<p>
Always had to have her home
by sundown, yessir. <wait 100>Her pa
was an absolute maniac.
<k>
<p>
Yep, I'd keep my eyes on the
sun and off the face of my
missus. <wait 250>Gentlemanly, eh?
<k>
<p>
Actually, it was sort of
awkward. <wait 100>Kind of blinding,
in a painful sort of way.
<k>
<p>
Heh! <wait 100>Just thinking about it
makes me feel awkward!<wait 100> Heh!
<wait 250>
Isn't memory grand?
<k>
<p>
But that's not what I was
talking about.<wait 250> Now where
was I? <wait 100>Hrrrrrmmmm...
<k>
<p>
Oh!<wait 50> That's right!<wait 100> Kids today!
<wait 250>
They know nothing about
patience, I tell you!
<k>
<p>
I want to stand up and yell:
<wait 50>
"HEY!<wait 100> YOU PUNKS!<wait 100> BE MORE
PATIENT!<wait 100> RIGHT NOW!"
<k>
<p>
Speaking of which, I think
I proclaimed my love for
the missus in a loud voice...
<k>
<p>
Yup!<wait 100> She was leaving on a
train, and I yelled it from
the platform! <wait 100>Like in a movie!
<k>
<p>
Now, err...<wait 100> What was it that
I yelled to her? <wait 100>Something
about her shell, maybe...
<k>
<p>
...Oh. <wait 250>Wait.<wait 250> I think I've
strayed from my main point
again...<wait 250> Or wait...<wait 100>did I?
<k>
<p>
Anyhow, me and the missus
were madly in love! <wait 100>Head
over shells, I tell you!
<k>
<p>
No... <wait 250>Wait, my point was
something about kids today,
right?<wait 250> Awwww, whatever...
<k>
<p>
Oh, my dear, sweet missus!
<wait 100>
The way you combed my
eyebrows! <wait 100>Such tenderness!
<k>
<p>
...Huzzuh? <wait 250>Oh, sorry!<wait 100> I got
distracted, there.<wait 100> Anyway,
you get my point.
<k>
<p>
Sorry you had to listen
through all that. <wait 100>Wasn't too
boring though, I'd wager.
<k>
<p>
I'm just happy to get a
little face time with the
youth of today!
<k> irai_08_002 Oops!<wait 250> I forgot to set out
the tea! <wait 250>Aren't I an old
ninny? <wait 250>My apologies.
<k>
<p>
In fact, I haven't even
added the hot water part.
<wait 250>
Awful sorry.
<k>
<o> irai_08_003_1 <p>
...At least I THOUGHT you
could, but it looks like you
can't carry anything else.
<k>
<p>
I'll leave it here for you,
so you can come get it
anytime you like, OK?
<k> irai_08_004 Yeah, boy, if you cook a
Turtley Leaf, you can
make some amazing tea...
<k>
<p>
Oh, and if you change your
mind, you can come back and
listen to me yap anytime.
<k> irai_14_00 Yes, hello, I'm Toce T.<wait 250> 
Did you need something?
<k>
<p>
What? <wait 250>You want to make a
Heartful Cake? <wait 250>And who
asked you to? <wait 250>Merlee?
<k>
<p>
Let's see, I know you need
Cake Mix and Ruin Powder...
<k>
<p>
Tee hee hee! <wait 250>I wonder who
Merlee is making it for
this time...
<k> irai_14_01 You need Cake Mix and 
Ruin Powder to make
a Heartful Cake.
<k>
<p>
Say "hi" to Merlee for me!
<k> irai_17_00 Murphy! <wait 250>What can I do for
you, young man?
<k> irai_17_01 Eh?<wait 250> The Silver Club approval
slip? <wait 250>Is that from the Puni
elder? <wait 250>That old so-and-so...
<k>
<p>
That reminds me, that Super
Blood Pressure Gauge I
borrowed from her was great!
<k>
<p>
Since I'm the last one to sign
this, it just needs to go back
to Twilight Town's mayor.
<k>
<p>
<shake>Haaack! <wait 250>Kack!<wait 250> Pitooey!</shake><wait 250> 
But...<wait 250>I seem to have caught
a bit of a cold.
<k>
<p>
Could you take it to the
Twilight Town mayor? <wait 250>Thanks,
Murphy!<wait 250> <shake>Haack! Kack!</shake>
<k> irai_17_02 Please return the approval
form to Twilight Town's mayor.
<wait 250>
OK, Murphy?<wait 250> <shake>Haack! <wait 250>Kack!</shake> 
<k> stg8_dark_01 Uh...<wait 250> Er...<wait 250> Whuh...<wait 250> Hmmm...<wait 250> Umm...
<wait 250>
Wh-What's going on?
<k> stg8_las_148_03 Hmmm, now?
<k> stg8_las_148_04 What's this shiny thing?
<k> stg8_las_148_05 Mayor!<wait 250> It's the Crystal Star!
<k>
<p>
But I thought Mario had
this thing...
<k> stg8_las_148_06 ...
<k>
<p>
I wonder, kids, if this is
related to the sky getting
all dark and whatnot...
<k> stg8_las_148_07 Hmmm...<wait 250> You may be right,
but I don't know.
<k>
<p>
But if anything's happened
to my boy Koops and Mario...
<k> stg8_las_148_08 <dynamic 3>
Oh, dear...
</dynamic><k> stg8_las_148_09 Koops... <wait 250>You're OK, right?
<wait 250>
You promised me you'd come
back OK...
<k> ep_38 <housou>
Koops is living peacefully in
Petalburg with his dad and
Koopie Koo.
<k>
<p>
And, Mario...<wait 250> Guess what
Koops wants to do now!
<k>
<p>
He wants to become mayor
of Petalburg and live there
in peace!<wait 250> Can you imagine?
<k>
<p>
Still, it might just be perfect
for him, come to think of it.
<k>
<p>
He's so much more of an
adult now than when you
left Rogueport!
<k>
<p>
...Still, I think Koopie Koo
pretty much has him wrapped
around her little finger!
<k> ep_39 <housou>
Flurrie's back on stage in
a big way, and the crowds
are totally ecstatic.
<k>
<p>
And, the play she's doing
right now is the story of
our adventure! <wait 250>Yeah!
<k>
<p>
It's called "Paper Mario"!
I saw it twice! <wait 250>It was totally
the best play ever!
<k>
<p>
And somehow, Doopliss has
joined the troupe as an
actor!<wait 250> Who saw that coming?
<k>
<p>
His transformation skills
are serving him well, but it
still kind of creeps me out...
<k> msg_kuri_map <keyxon>
This is Petalburg.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
The warm weather makes the
locals laid-back and happy.
<k>
<p>
Wow, and talk about unique
personalities...
<k>
<p>
Very...<wait 250>individualistic, to put
it nicely.<wait 300> Or, not so nicely...
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
<dynamic 3>Downright kooky</dynamic>...
<k> mRmRG <keyxon>
That's a Bub-ulb, a talking
flower. <dkey><wait 300></dkey>I think he lives in
Petalburg.
<k>
<p>
I know he's a plant, but he
makes more sense than these
other crazy Petalburgers!
<k> mRmRH <keyxon>
That's a Petalburg Koopa.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
He always seems to be
worried about something.
<k>
<p>
It's weird, too, 'cause
the rest of this town is
so laid-back, y'know?
<k> mRmRI <keyxon>
That's a Toad from Petalburg.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
He just seems like a regular
Toad to me...
<k>
<p>
But I hear he leads a secret
life as president of the
Luigi Fan Club!
<k> mRmRK <keyxon>
That's Toce T., a Toad from
Petalburg.<dkey><wait 300></dkey> She seems really
huffy about something.
<k>
<p>
She sure does keep a
straight face, though.<wait 300> I guess
she's a pretty tough cookie...
<k>  <keyxon>
That's Kroop, the mayor of
Petalburg.<dkey><wait 300></dkey> He just babbles,
whether he's alone or not.
<k>
<p>
I just can't tell if he's really
senile, or if he's just working
that angle, y'know?
<k> ԃmRmR <keyxon>
That's the gatekeeper of
Petalburg.<dkey><wait 300></dkey> He's super-dutiful
about guarding this gate.
<k>
<p>
But I bet he'd totally run
for cover if real monsters
ever did show up here...
<k>
<p>
I just get a feeling about him.
<wait 300>
Goomba's intuition, maybe?
<k> mR^E <keyxon>
That's Koops, from Petalburg.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
He's got confidence issues...
<wait 300>
He's a...<wait 250>cringer, y'know?
<k>
<p>
But he's definitely got a
serious interest in Hooktail...
<wait 300>
I wonder why?
<k> mR^E <keyxon>
That's Koops's dad, Koopley.
<dkey><wait 300></dkey>
He seems kind of out of it.
<wait 300>
Are all Koopas space cadets?
<k>
<p>
Then again, Koops is really
with it... <wait 250>Maybe that's 'cause
his dad is like this...
<k>
<p>
Anyway, Koopley does worry
about Koops a lot,<wait 300> so I guess
he's a good dad after all.
<k> mR <keyxon>
That's Koopie Koo, a local
Petalburger.<dkey><wait 300></dkey> She seems to be
Koops's girlfriend.
<k>
<p>
Gosh, she's really cute...and
she seems to have a good
head on her, too.
<k>
<p>
Thing is, because she's smart,
she kinda mothers Koops a
little bit...
<k>
<p>
I guess it's a complicated
relationship.<wait 250> But then again,
what relationship isn't?
