Still, I'm always up for a good race, especially an old sleddin' buddy. (after collecting all 120 (or 150 in DS) stars) ' Mario! What's up pal? I haven't been on the slide lately, so I'm out of shape.(DS) ' I'm the world-champion sledder! I may be bulky, but I'm very fast! How about a race? Ready.' (Player selects ' Go' or ' No thanks').Whaddya say? How about a race? Ready.' (Player chooses ' Go' or ' Don't go') I know speed when I see it, yes siree-I'm the world champion sledder, you know. You look like a fast sleddin' kind of guy. (N64) ' He-ey, Mario, buddy, howzit goin'? Step right up.(defeated) ' Ow! That hurt! Your sneaking skills need help, but you're pretty strong.And that will never happen! Bring it, shorty!' I'm unstoppable! If you want the Power Star, you'll have to knock it out of me! But the only way to do that is to pick me up from behind and fling me down. I'm back with a new Star from Bowser! I've also restyled my mustache.

(rematch in DS) ' The king refuses to be dejected by a single defeat.

(defeated) ' Ooh! Ouch! Could it be that, with a noble mustache like yours, you're stronger than me? I'll be back when my mustache grows sharper.

How impertinent of you to flash that facial hair here! I will crush you and yank out that mustache of yours.

(to Wario) ' I'm the Big Bob-omb, baron of all blasting matter, king of ka-booms worldwide! What's this? You're not royalty.Yet your mustache is distinguished looking.

Just wait until I restyle my mustache! I'll make you my servant.

(defeated) ' Ooh! Ouch! You don't look like much, but you are pretty tough.

Nevertheless, the Power Star is a precious item from King Bowser. Despite your looks, you seem to be quite brave.

(to Luigi) ' I'm the Big Bob-omb, baron of all blasting matter, king of ka-booms worldwide! You've got some nerve making it this far.

(defeated) ' Ow! That hurts! Your throwing aim is still way off, but you're pretty strong.

If you want the Power Star, you must defeat me in battle! Ha Ha Ha! But there's no way I'd ever lose to a puny mustache like that.' It's fit for a king! Ho ho! Your mustache makes you look like the peasant you are.

(to Mario) ' I'm the Big Bob-omb, baron of all blasting matter, king of ka-booms worldwide! Look at my splendid mustache.

If you want to see me again, just select this Star from the menu.' I'll give you my precious Power Star in exchange.

(defeated) ' Ow! That hurts! How did I lose to a bald-faced fellow like you? Let's just keep this between you and me.

You must defeat me in battle if you want it! You'll be quite helpless facing my Bob-omb minions. Be that as it may, I can't just give you my precious Power Star.

(to Yoshi) ' I'm the Big Bob-omb, baron of all blasting matter, king of ka-booms the world over! Incredible! You've made it this far even without a mustache.

If you want to see me again, just select this Star from the menu. Methinks my troops could learn a lesson from you! Here is your star, as I promised, Mario.

(defeated) ' Whaaa.Whaaat? Can it be that a pipsqueak like you has defused the Bob-omb King? You might be fast enough to ground me, but you'll have to pick up the pace if you want to take King Bowser by the tail.

(after being thrown out of bounds, both versions) ' You must fight with honor! It's against the rules to throw the king out of the ring!'.

Can you pick me up and hurl me to this royal turf? I think that you cannot!' I hereby challenge you Mario! If you want the star I hold, you must prove yourself in battle. and you'll never take away my Power Star.

( Super Mario 64) ' I'm the Big Bob-omb, baron of all blasting matter, king of ka-booms the world over! How dare you scale my mountain? By what right do you set foot on my imperial mountaintop? You may have eluded my guards, but you'll never escape my grasp.

Oh, all right, perhaps just a hint: heed the Star names at the beginning of the course.' -The Big Bob-omb. Not a whisper of their whereabouts shall leave my lips. They were a gift from Bowser, the King Koopa himself.

They hold the power of the castle in their glow. (Signpost) ' No visitors allowed by decree of the Big Bob-omb.
