"So you're THE Mario, eh? Arr harr, harr...! Not much to look at...Well, this star fell into MY SEA, so it's MINE! If you want it, you'll have to fight for it!"

"Fuwa ha ha...Not bad, fellas. How about it, Mario? Mario versus me! Wanna mix it up? Good fun! And good for you, too! All right. Here comes my backup."

"I'm impressed, matey! You've earned the star. Think of it as a souvenir of our fight!"

"You must've REALLY wanted that star..Now go on! Get outta here before I change my mind.

"Whoa! It's all over." (hidden quote)

YARIDOVICH: "Blade's late. What's taking him so long? We need to get out of here. This is JUST great! Mario caught up with us. Only one thing we can do now. Although we may rust a little, we'll have to swim for it."
(Jonathan Jones and two henchsharks jump out of the water, blocking Yaridovich's escape.)
JONATHAN: "Not so fast there! That star's a gift to me mate Mario. You spineless dogs have no code of honor! We'll make you walk the plank!"
BANDANA BLUE: "Johnny, maybe we should leave Mario the pleasure of wrapping things up here."
YARIDOVICH: "Eee hee..! I gues we'll have to take our disguises off now...GROUP formation!"

(In a letter to Mario): "To Mario,
Knowin' you, it must've been a breeze knockin' down Yarid, eh? By the way, my pirates say they saw a huge AX flyin' across the sky. It's probably one of Smithy's nasty friends. Go GET him, pal! Well, my gills are failing on me, so I'll be headin' back down. Drop in whenever you ahve time, okay?
Your true mate,
Jonathan "Johnny" Jones."
