RED GOOMBA: "Hey hey! Hold it right there! You! Yeah you, suspicious guy! Don't move! Aha, you're Mario! I know it. You can't go past here, Mr. Big Shot. It's a direct order from the Goomba King. That's right! I'm sorry, but the only way by is through the Goomba Bros. That's me, REd Goomba, and my brother, Blue Goomba. Let's get him, Blue Goomba!"
BLUE GOOMBA: "Oh yeah! Let's do it, my red brother!"

"Blue, Blue Goomba!!!!! Gaaah! My little brother! You'll pay for that Mario!"

"Geeaaaah!!! I...I'll let you go for now!"

RED: "King Goomba! Help us!
BLUE: "Mario beat us up!"

"You hear that, Mario! No farther! Not one step! Are you scared, little man?"

(After fighting, Mario listens in on a private conversation)
KING GOOMBA: "Red Goomba, you're positive you hid the switch well, right?"
RED GOOMBA: "Of course, King Goomba! I hid it in the grass outside the fortress."
KING GOOMBA: "Outside the...you idiot? You didn't hide it in here? Mario will find it for sure!"
RED GOOMBA: "Oh! Do you think? You know...you might be right. King Goomba, maybe we ought to try to trick Mario before he tries to..."

(In a letter): "Goombario, you were a lot stronger than you looked. We figured you were just some punk Goomba hanging around with Mario. Anyway, you proved yourself to us. and you showed us that being good is as important as being strong. So...when you come back, do you think maybe we could be...friends? Please say yes! We'l be waiting!"
